He preached and wrote to to common man and woman of every station in life. He was held in high esteem as a preacher and author, yet he was a humble and unpretentious man, as is evident from his unwillingness to use the title <em>"Doctor of Divinity" </em>despite the fact that he was honoured with this degree by both Glasgow University and Princeton Seminary.
