Arthur Pink wrote many outstanding books on prophecy that have become classics of the faith. He spent several years preaching in America and Australia. Pink was a man of great talent, but he never achieved much success in his personal ministry. He wrote the following to a friend shortly before returning to Great Britain: "This is the chief reason why I am leaving the States. God’s blessing has been and now is upon my written ministry in a most unmistakable and gracious way; but my personal ministry through direct contact is almost a complete failure."

Harry Ironside (1876-1951) wrote more than 60 books as well as many pamphlets and articles on Bible subjects. Although he had no formal education and was never ordained, he served for more than 50 years as a home missionary, evangelist, and Bible teacher. For 18 of his 50 years of ministry, he was pastor of the Moody Memorial Church in Chicago.

yrus Ingerson Scofield (1843-1921), Bible student and author, was born in Lenawee County, Michigan, reared in Wilson County, Tennessee, and privately educated. Converted at 36, he was ordained to the congregational ministry in 1882, and served as pastor of the First Church, Dallas, Texas (1882-1895), and again (1902-1907); and of the Moody Church, Northfield, Massachusetts (1895-1902). He spent his later years lecturing on biblical subjects on both sides of the Atlantic. The work for which he is best remembered is his 1909 dispensational premillennial Scofield Reference Bible.
