Henry Howard (Australia) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Henry Howard (Australia) Henry Howard (21 January 1859 – 29 June 1933)〔Arnold D. Hunt, '(Howard, Henry (1859 - 1933) )', ''Australian Dictionary of Biography'', Volume 9, MUP, 1983, pp 376-377. Retrieved 2009-09-27〕 was an Australian Methodist minister and writer. ==Early life== Howard was born in Melbourne, the son of Henry Howard - an accountant - and his wife Mary Ann, ''née'' Graham.〔 Howard came from a poor background,〔 and he at first received only a primary education. When a youth he tried to speak at a church meeting and completely broke down. Next day he told the Rev. Dr Joseph Dare, the chairman of the meeting, that in view of his failure, he had resolved never to attempt public speaking again. Dr Dare replied, "I don't call that a failure, a real failure is when a man talks for an hour and says nothing".〔 At 17 Howard became a local preacher in the Methodist Church, and in 1878 means were found to send him to Wesley College, Melbourne (under James Swanton Waugh), with which the "Provisional Theological Institution for Victoria and Tasmania" was linked. This institution had been founded for the training of men for the Methodist ministry, and afterwards became part of Queen's College, one of the colleges affiliated with the University of Melbourne.
