This is a biography of Peter W. Philpott who was in Christian ministry for seventy-three years. He started in the Salvation Army, broke with it in 1892, and created a new denomination in Canada that was based in Hamilton, Ontario. It provides an intimate insight into the early workings of the Salvation Army and the later Fundamentalist Movement. Philpott also was responsible for building Moody Memorial Church in Chicago, served as a trustee of Wheaton College, and had an ongoing ministry in other churches in Los Angeles and Toronto. Much of his life was spent as a travelling evangelist; he was a transitional figure between Billy Sunday and Billy Graham. During that time he was faced with many ethical struggles in his own life and within the religious movements with which he identified. He and his wife had thirteen children, most of whom cut a wide swath across North America in the fields of medicine, politics, journalism, business and social service.
