Book Description

Excerpt from Fifty Years as a Presiding Elder Of the few books of science and general knowl edge that were accessible to him, by loan or purchase, he made a noble use, until his mind became a vast store-house of valuable informa tion; although without the order and system, petnaps, known to a thorough collegiate educa tion, yet so perfect was his command of that knowledge that at a moment, and under any emergency, in argument, debate, or in proclaim ing Christ from the pulpit, he could bring it into requisition to vanquish an enemy, or convince a sinner of the error of his way.
