Such tales, however, I believe to be due to a misunderstanding of his character. Gordon was perfectly capable of soliciting Divine aid by some such oracular method, but that his behaviour ever gave the impression that he was under the influence of alcohol is fully explained by the fact that in times of anxiety his erratic manner when sober was remarkably similar to that of other men when intoxicated. As regards his religion, Gordon was a typical enthusiast, and had he been born a few centuries ...earlier he might have played the role of a prophet. In appointing the officials who were to serve with him, he usually relied on what he called a " mystic feeling, " which controlled his judgment as though from on high ; and thus it came about that he was often served by very unreliable persons.

He regarded himself as the person chosen by Almighty God to be the saviour of these lost Egyptian pro- vinces.
