Down in Water Street
by Samuel Hopkins Hadley
Samuel Hopkins Hadley was a ruined drunkard, jailed and shaking with delirium tremens, when he was converted in 1882 at Jerry McAuley's Water Street Mission. He never drank again, and after McAuley's death he became superintendent of the mission himself, carrying it on for the rest of his life. Subtitled "a story of sixteen years' life and work in Water Street Mission," this is Hadley's own record of his rescue and of the men he in turn pulled out of the bottle and the street, a direct sequel to the life of the river thief who started it all.
The changed life
From delirium-tremens drunkard to superintendent of the Water Street Mission, leading thousands of fellow addicts to conversion.
