To understand the doctrines of the gospel, and to live under their influence, constitute real excellence of character. The young man, whose life and conduct I shall attempt briefly to delineate, was eminent in both these respects, from his tender years. He was born in Scotland, January 1, 1781; but, being early deprived of his parents, the best monitors of youth, he and his two brothers were left under the care of guardians. But He who is the orphan's truest Friend, spread his auspicious wings over these bereaved children. The two youngest, of whom our friend was the junior, appear to have received strong convictions at an early period. Few occurrences of material importance have been ascertained of our lamented friend during the former part of his life, in Scotland. However, it is evident, that here he had made considerable progress in various branches of learning. Perhaps, even at this early period, he made Polite Literature and the art of Elocution the principal objects of his study; which, indeed, seem to have marked his character in future life. He read works of taste, while at school, with great pleasure and attention. Here he selected and treasured up in his memory some of the finest passages in the British Classics; which, at a more ripened age, he would frequently quote with remarkable animation and pathos. He formed an early attachment to the Spectator; but particularly to the papers of Addison, whose writings he justly esteemed a model of English composition. This work he read aloud, after he had left school, to a small audience, by way of amusement. It would be improper to omit one circumstance which took place while at school: Our young friend, with a select number of his fellow-pupils, formed a social community for the purpose of improving their tender minds in religion and virtue. During the summer-months, when opportunities favoured, they chose some sequestered spot in the woods, or in fields, for the place of association. Here they crected an altar to their God: and, in the simplicity of the XIV. SD |
