Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Sermons of the Rev. Josiah J. Finch: With a Memoir of His Life Josiah John Finch, eldest son of Caswell and Temperance Finch, was born in the county of Franklin, State of North-Carolina, February 3d, 1814. His father, a man of remarkable modesty, delicate sensibility and retiring deportment, was almost wholly given to books and teaching, in which employment he spent, consecutively, forty of the best years of his life. In fidelity and efficiency, as an academical teacher, he stood without a rival in the region in which he lived. As a consequence, naturally resulting from indefatigable devotion to his calling, the physical and moral training of his children devolved, for the most part, upon their mother. And, fortunately for the important trust thus committed, that mother was endowed with uncommon energy, stern integrity, and a large share of disciplinary talent, tempered by the spirit of divine grace. She taught her offspring to remember their Creator in the days of their youth; to be obedient, reverential, honest and truthful, and to shun evil company as they would a deadly serpent or a contagious malady. And, as a happy reward for her faithful training, she has lived to see her entire offspring, consisting of three sons and two daughters, hopefully converted to Christ, and regularly initiated into his church and consecrated to his service. Now may she say with pious Simon - "Lettest thou thy servant depart in peace." The principles inculcated in early youth, the counsel and advice received in the nursery, and the rigid discipline which characterized his training during boyhood, the subject of these sketches ever regarded as the foundation of his Christian character.
