Often misattributed, this quotation is actually derived from an essay written by Bessie A. Stanley of Lincoln, Kansas. This is a link to an article about her essay that was published in the Emporia Gazette of Emporia, Kansas on December 11, 1905 [https://quoteinvestigator.com/]
1907 - 1910 Wesleyan Church Trust record book containing loose items relating to the Wesleyan Trust and the Million Shilling fund-raising effort.
It would appear that the fund-raising effort mirrored that of a similar one in London at the same time. According to the letters and other records in the ledger, the intention of the local fund was aimed at a church to be built on the corner of Kerk and von Wielligh Streets in Johannesburg.
The full contents of the ledger have not been digitised.
