Australia, 1889) was indeed a "burning and shining light, " and during the forty years of his Christian career he lived for God and eternity. He was indeed a bold and fearless ambassador of Christ, who sought to be guided solely by the Scriptures, and was willing to do God's will at all costs. Whilst faithful in carrying out what he saw in the Word of God, he did not make his light a standard of Christian fellowship. .For thirty years Hambleton laboured throughout England, Scotland, and Ireland, in the open air, in tents, halls, chapels, theatres, circuses, etc. For a time he also engaged in Bible carriage work, as well as lecturing throughout the country on a large chart which he called "Ezekiel's Tile". The last ten years of his life was spent in Australia, where he toiled on until he obtained his Home-call on December 8th, 1889, aged 69 years." (from Brethren Archives).
