Harry Ironside
Henry Allan “Harry” Ironside (1876–1951). Born on October 14, 1876, in Toronto, Canada, to John and Sophia Ironside, Harry Ironside was a prolific Bible teacher, pastor, and author in the Plymouth Brethren and dispensationalist traditions. Converted at age 12 through his mother’s influence and his own Bible reading, he began preaching at 14 with the Salvation Army in California after moving there in 1886. Largely self-taught, he never attended seminary but memorized much of Scripture, earning an honorary D.D. from Wheaton College in 1942. Joining the Plymouth Brethren in 1896, he itinerated across North America, preaching at revival meetings and Bible conferences, known for clear, anecdotal sermons. In 1930, he became pastor of Moody Memorial Church in Chicago, serving until 1948, growing its influence through radio broadcasts. Ironside authored over 100 books and commentaries, including Holiness: The False and the True (1912), Lectures on Daniel the Prophet (1911), and The Minor Prophets (1904), emphasizing practical biblical application. Married to Helen Schofield in 1898 until her death in 1948, then to Ann Hightower in 1949, he had two sons, Edmund and John. He died on January 15, 1951, in Cambridge, New Zealand, while preaching, saying, “The Word of God is living and powerful—trust it fully.”

Sermon Transcription
If it permits, and I rather feel sure it will, I want to try to cover synoptically chapters 56, 57, 58, 59. Chapters 56 and 57 are the concluding chapters of the present section which gives us God's controversy with Israel concerning their Messiah. You often find me that anyone else can have it. These are the words you remember of course. We today is not what we might know in the past. Well, we haven't any fooling. See, there's always a danger that that's a little manifest. Well, now, the next chapter we have is precisely. They say, well, if I give you the facts, he says, and your sins, and what he says is a stone facing the devil. And you know, when the police hurried, what he thought was an outward religiousness for the salvation of the soul. But I wouldn't have sense enough to order some copies of the Lord Jesus Christ.
