Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Tracts of the American Tract Society, Vol. 10: General Series Dr. Thomas Jewett was born in Rindge, N. H., Feb. 28, 1771, where, with the exception of four years, he resided till his death, which occurred April 24, 1840, at the age of 69. For many years he was a reputable physician, and also a justice of the peace; but he relinquished the active services of both stations some time previous to his death. Having labored a few months in the ministry at Rindge, I called on Dr. Jewett, in the spring of 1822, to ask his consent that his eldest daughter might assist as a teacher in the Sabbath-school. He frankly stated his objections to Sabbath-schools; but, after a candid reconsideration of them, granted my request, and all his children of proper age, were also permitted to attend. This brought the family more directly into contact with Christian influence, and at length this daughter and four other children, became hopefully pious, and united with the church. He was tenderly attached to his family; and so far as his children exhibited the fruits of the Spirit, their influence upon their father was favorable to evangelical religion. He once said to me, in the hearing of some of them who were anxious for their salvation, "Say what you think proper to them; for though I do not believe your doctrine, if any of my family think it will add to their happiness to join your church, I am willing they should do it." He continued to indulge them in the enjoyment of religious privileges, though still maintaining his infidelity, and rarely entering the sanctuary himself except on days of public fasting or thanksgiving. The temperance cause he cordially espoused, though he evidently perceived, and once frankly stated to me, that its influence was undeniably favorable to evangelical religion.
