Wad of Original Thonghi, His mind was moulded to original thought ana investigation, no could not take th teachings of any unln spired man without an examination for his own satisfaction. He could not to! erate a light or superficial exegesis of any or the great trutns or tne gospel. Hence his mind led him . to hunt for the original author and th original root tnougnt. In his investigations he went beyond almost every- man oi nis aay, ana brought out thoughts and teachings new to the great body of divines. He gave explanations to certain difficult scriDtures not found in-commentaries. wnat ne presentea was sausrying to his own mma, tnougn new to au nis ad mirers and hearers.-' He was set for the derens of the gospel, and from no position, that he toon, eitner in regara to gospeL or to his own arguments, could friend or foe dislodge him . His mind was logically formed and logically developed, his se- auenoe . necessarily roiiowea rrom nis cremises., He never diverged or lost Blunt or the main : thought before him to the con clusion of his investigation and to the last analysis or nis own reasoning, hence his invincibility and. Intrepidity. mi mma was qi mat maae-up tnat a regular classical . colletre education would have unmade him to a large extent.- It would have led him to denend more upon -others . and less upon his own mental powers, and besides would hav restricted him-to rules not In har mony with hia own modes of thought The legitimate rules of logic are, and were in accord..-with his mental pro cesses. To sav that he was not an ed ucated man' would t be as far from the mark as to say he was a college-made man. He .was of that small class of men wno Knew much before It went Into tne docks. Met Wits Opposition. His mind was angular and well calcu lated to arouse opposition which often orougni mm into controversy, a field in which he delighted. This often caused many, even of his warmest friends, to stand aloof. He feared no foe, either pnysicai or polemical, and but few men of his day were worthy of hia steel. Ihe people esteemed him more for his mental powers than as copletlst But few men could be found who were more wrainy tnan ne or whose native mental powers uaa peen more at work than his. Ho was not emotional in his preach ing or in the expression of his feelings. Ihl grew out of th fact that owing to his comprehensive grasp -of those di vine tru the, so essential to th building of character he laid the stress of his preaching, mor on Inward divine growth than on outward expressions of Few ministers have had nnA ta.i things said about thorn than ha ' tki. cauaea ino io siana aloof for many years. We have been Informed that he was tha firat nt hia e.mii generations to become a Christian. This accounts in a large degree for his ap parent abrupt and Indefinite methods ana nis laconia and emphatio expres sions. Whatever subject he studied, he never ceasea until ne 'ansorbed it and it absorbed him. And he waa more delighted than when Investigating tc the themea he preached, and" th rich truths he delighted to unfold. He had within a warm and loving, but not an emotional heart that pul sated to every good wherever found. It was harder for him to approach his brethren than for them to approach mm. ne nungerea ror a companionship with them which he never found, sim ply because they failed to get into th secret of his Inner life.
