John Sullivan and Richard (Dick) McClure
John Sullivan was born in Dunmanway, Co. Cork 1874 and died in Australia 1924 a age 50,
For a time he was a school teacher in Co. Tipperary, where he heard and readily embraced the truth.
He soon afterwards went forth into the work- in 1900: he is the author hymn No. 13.
He is on the 1905 Workers List and pioneered New South Wales, Australia.
Richard (Dick) McClure entered work in Ireland in 1906.
John Sullivan and Jack Little pioneered Queensland in 1905.
The story is told that his sister's husband died died leaving her in distress. John felt he ought to
help her, so with the work of his hands he built her a house and put her "on her feet," then he
thought, if he could do this for another, he could do it for himself, thus a battle went on in his heart
and mind until one day getting under a bush opposite the house to meditate and pray he settled
the matter and got the thoughts for the hymn, finally putting them into hymn form on the ship on
his way home for a visit to his native shores.
