William Huntington was born under the worst possible social conditions. He came into this world the product of sin and shame but lived to be a mighty instrument used by God in pointing thousands to the way of salvation. Huntington was a controversial figure in his own lifetime and this has continued right up to the present day. He has been accused of bing conceited, dogmatic, vindictive, tyrannical, inaccessible and having faulty doctrinal views. George Ella shows that Huntington was in fact a very humble man, conscious of his failings, generous and hospitable almost to a fault, and constantly surrounded by friends and family. Where he was accused of conceit and dogmatism this was because he was prepared to stand firm for the great truths of the Bible and the Reformation in the face of opposition from those who were themselves departing from the true faith.
