The simple facts of Percy Clough Ainsworth's quiet life may soon be written: the hidden springs Of his in?uence and charm it would take long to trace. He was born at Woodbridge in Suffolk in 1873. His father, the Rev. William Ainsworth, was a Wesleyan minister, honoured and successful in his calling, Of great force Of character, and heroically patient under much physical suffering. Genius, like knighthood, does not pass by earthly inheritance, yet the Spirit who brings the gift loves to visit the home Of puritan grace and strength. Percy Ainsworth received a heritage Of fortitude from both his parents.
