Excerpt from The Life of Francis William Crossley The basis of his life, and the mightiest force in moulding his character was his intense realisation of his personal relation to Christ who had died for him, and now lived in him. The wholesome mysticism which belongs to all deep Christian experience, and consists in faith in, and possession of direct com munion with, the living Christ, made Frank Crossley what he was. From it beauty, born of something better than murmuring sound, had passed into his face, and a great peace into his heart, and an all shaping impulse into his life. The natural character on which his religion worked was remarkable, both in its sweetness and its strength'. On one side it was scientific, on another it was a seer of visions and a dreamer of dreams.
