Frank William Boreham (3 March 1871, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England - 18 May 1959, Melbourne, Victoria) was a Baptist preacher best known in New Zealand, Australia, and England. (His birth coincided with the end of the Franco-Prussian War and he could say in later life that, "Salvoes of artillery and peals of bells echoed across Europe on the morning of my birth.") He was one of 10 children.
Boreham heard the great American preacher Dwight L. Moody during his youth. Another remarkable occasion was when he was badly injured and spent considerable time in hospital recovering, nursed by a Roman Catholic woman who widened his insight of ecumenism.
Boreham became a Baptist preacher after conversion to Christianity while working in London. Boreham was probably the last student interviewed by Charles Spurgeon for entry into his Pastor's College. After graduation, Boreham accepted a ministry at Mosgiel church, Dunedin, New Zealand, in March 1895 and there began his prolific writings initially for the local newspaper.
He later was a pastor in Hobart, Tasmania, and then on mainland Australia in Melbourne at Armadale and Kew.**

George Augustus Selwyn (1809–1878) was educated at Cambridge University, where he gained an MA in classics. He was ordained as a deacon in 1833. In 1841 he was consecrated Bishop of New Zealand, and arrived in the colony in the following year.
Selwyn became fluent in the Maori language and preached at many isolated settlements. He defended the Treaty of Waitangi and supported Maori rights, and criticized what he described as settler greed for Maori land. This led to bitter hostility from many settlers, who accused him of being disloyal to the Crown. However, his later ill-judged involvement in the invasion of Waikato - as chaplain in General Cameron's army - severely damaged his own standing and that of the church among many Maori. He returned to England in 1868.
