Percy C. Ainsworth
was a graduate of Didsbury College in Manchester, England, and pastor of Wesley Chapel in Birmingham. His published works include The Pilgrim Church and Other Sermons, The Threshold of Grace: Meditations on the Psalms, Poems and Sonnets, The Supreme Grace, and The Blessed Life: Short Addresses on the Beatitudes. Ainsworth died of typhoid fever in 1909 at the age of thirty-six. He was remembered by a friend as a preacher who continually placed people before the “mystery of the soul’s life” and invited them to enter its “unexplored depths.”
