The Nicholson Shed
Contributed by Sermon Central on Apr 1, 2008 (message contributor)
THE NICHOLSON SHED
William Pattison Nicholson has been called the ’tornado’ of the pulpit. He was mightily used by God in Northern Ireland at the beginning of the 20th century. Nicholson was as Irish as the turf and as rugged as the hills of Donegal. But Holy Ghost power rested upon him. In the Belfast shipyard they had to erect a special shed to house stolen tools that converted workers were returning as revival blessing swept through the country. They called it the ’Nicholson Shed’. Men who had broken the eighth commandment were brought to repentance and faith in Christ through ’Billy’ Nicholson.
(From Jonathan Campbell’s Sermon: “Private Property”)
