About Joseph Dare
Lived 1831 – 1880 (aged 48–49).
Joseph Dare (1831–1880) was an Australian Wesleyan Church leader.
A native of Dorsetshire (now Dorset), England, Dare emigrated to South Australia when a youth. Possessed of a noble presence, and favored with a magnificent voice, he was a very attractive preacher. He was as useful as he was popular. His health failed, and his friends subscribed the cost of defraying his expenses for a visit to the United States and Great Britain. The next day, Howard told Dare that in view of his failure, he had resolved never to attempt public speaking again. Dare replied, "I don't call that a failure, a real failure is when a man talks for an hour and says nothing". A street in Ocean Grove, Victoria, is named for him.
