text_original: He had orig  inality as well as energy; he must do his work his own way; he could not be a minister of routine. He soon found it borne in upon him that he must speak to his fellow man wherever he could find him. For a long time he held back from the thought of open air preaching, but now he saw that it must be done. There was a period of his' life, he says, when he would have thought the saving of a soul '^a sin almost if it had not been done in a church."
