W. P. Nicholson
William Patteson Nicholson (3 April 1876 – 29 October 1959[1]) was a Presbyterian preacher and evangelist born in Bangor, County Down, Ireland.
Nicknamed "the Tornado of the Pulpit",[2] Nicholson spent his early years on his father's cargo ship. He began to preach Christianity in 1899 at the age of 23 and was known for his "men-only" meetings. Nicholson used straightforward language which communicated to the common man.
In the Belfast shipyard of Harland & Wolff, a shed, named "the Nicholson shed", was erected to house stolen tools that newly converted workers were returning as a result of Nicholson's preaching.

gollark: Still, I would expect that for non-time-critical stuff people wouldn't mind waiting for a few years if they could run their computing tasks on an entire moon comparatively cheaply.
gollark: I guess one might be network connectivity, since your moonbrain being several light-years from a stargate would make it not very useful for real-time stuff.
gollark: It seems like - since there's not any mention of the eldraeverse having moonbrains everywhere - there's some reason you can't just cheaply stick some self-replicating machinery on a planet and come back in a hundred years and... do moonbrain things.
gollark: Giant fractal things are a nice decoration for *any* planet, really.
gollark: Especially since the magic phased array thing will probably dump lots of heat for all the computing and... phased-arraying, I have no idea how an optical one would actually work internally.
