What an amazing story! I've never heard of "Mr Eternity" before, and I love that the new law was called "Arthur's Law". There should definitely be a film made about him.

I was telling my parents about him today and they hadn't heard of him either, so we've all learnt something thanks to you.
Comment from Spitfire
An interesting story. Well-written. It's always inspiring to read how a person changes from bad behavior to good, how Christianity brought about the change.

Hello Wendy,
What an uplifting story, and you've written it so well. Isn't it amazing the power that one individual can have when they team up with God? You're guaranteed to be successful when the Lord is your partner. I love stories like this. Thank you so much for sharing this. It's a great way to start my day.
Have a blessed evening gal.

I am so happy that you enjoyed his amazing story. I loved finding out the details of his background. He was a great example of being a new creation in Christ, and doing away with all the former things. Thank you for the lovely encouragement of six stars. I always appreciate the honour.

So interesting and proof that every and any person can make a difference in life -- if only they try and follow the string in front of them. Love the story, well researched and well-presented. Good post. ann

Here's another 'WOW' person. Thank you for sharing Arthur Stace with us. I never knew he existed but am sure happy for all he accomplished. I do believe God knows all he helped bring to Him. It's an example of how God can use any willing person to do great things in His name.

Exactly. His story is both amazing and uplifting, and encouraging to know that all He asks is a willing heart and He gifts the person appropriately. Thank you for such a lovely review - always appreciated.

This gets a six for the pure joy it brought me. It was written awesomely as well. Lol. But it spoke of a man who felt a higher power and shared it with millions. I love how this made me feel. Great job, Wendy. Thank you for posting. Gretchen

Comment from Mrs. KT
Fascinating individual, Wendy, and an exceptionally well-presented work penned by your hand.
I love to read of individuals such as Arthur Stace, their beginnings and the challenges they met throughout their lives as well as the impact they have had on others.
Definitely an "unusual calling," and a much enjoyed read this early Sunday morning.
Thank you for sharing!

I don't know what your plans are, but you have a great start on a book of special people. The stories you are posting would have a great appeal to almost everyone.

Thank you Paul! That?s a huge compliment, as are the six stars. I would love to publish them if I can get enough stories. But I don?t want to self publish, I would prefer a "real" publisher. I am really enjoying finding these stories especially of lesser known people who are mostly "overcomers". I have another coming up soon. Thank you again.

I would think if you put together a book of these items and presented it to a publishing house, They would jump at it.

Thank you! I do appreciate this encouragement so much. I?ll do it!

Comment from Tom Horonzy
You should be an Australian tour guide. Filled with so many stories, but I need to ask who kept count of his chalkings? That's a lot of chalk you write of. Me, being a skeptic says it was more like 499,999.

I think it was a calculation based on how many he did per day (approximately) times the number of days he did it for (approximately). Yes, a lot of chalk. How did he buy it without being noticed? Lots of unknowns. But it is all true. I?m letting you in on a few stories so you know how special Australia is. Lol. Thanks for reviewing.

always an interesting journey following you.
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
For thirty years! Amazing!! So, they changed the "defacing with chalk" law just for him?
What an interesting piece about a man who found his way out of a terrible life into one of purpose and joy.
Thank you for sharing Arthur with us:-)

Thank you so much Pam. I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the six beautiful stars! Yes, thirty years, while he helped the vulnerable, and he was only revealed after twenty-seven years, when his pastor saw him put a piece of yellow chalk in his pocket. Yes, apparently the law was changed because of him. I think they saw him as a gentle kind soul who just wanted to help others, and wasn't really doing any harm. It's a strange and beautiful story.
Thank you again.
Wendy
