He could say in later life, \"Salvoes of artillery and peals of bells echoed across Europe on the morning of my birth.\" He was one of 10 children.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoreham heard the great American preacher Dwight L. Moody during his youth. On another occasion he was badly injured and spent considerable time in hospital recovering, nursed by a Roman Catholic woman who widened his insight of ecumenism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoreham became a Baptist preacher after conversion to Christianity while working in London. He was probably the last student interviewed by Charles Spurgeon for entry into his Pastor's College. After graduation, Boreham accepted a ministry at Mosgiel church, Dunedin, New Zealand, in March 1895 and there began his prolific writings, initially for the local newspaper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe later was a pastor in Hobart, Tasmania, and then on mainland Australia in Melbourne at Armadale and Kew.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe notionally retired in 1928 at age 57, but continued to preach and write. During Billy Graham's evangelistic campaign in Australia in early 1959 Graham sought out Boreham for a discussion, due in great part to Boreham's widely read and respected writings.
