Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Experiences of a Pioneer Evangelist: Of the Northwest I was born Jan. 25, 1843, in what is now Ontario, formerly called Upper Canada, or Canada West. My forefathers on both my fathers and my mother´s side were Quakers. My father´s name was Walter Hill, and my mother´s maiden name was Phebe Brown. About the first thing I can remember was going to a Quaker meeting. Their meetings were held every Sunday and Wednesday, called by the Quakers first day and fourth day. Ofttimes they would sit in silence for an hour or two, until some of the older brethren would shake hands, which would be the signal for all to rise, shake hands, and go home. The men would sit with their hats on during meeting. Another peculiarity of this peculiar people was, that the men and women would by no means sit together during divine service; but the fathers would take their sons and the mothers their daughters, and sit in their respective parts of the church. I can see them now, in my mind´s eye, as they filed into the meetinghouse - the brethren in their Quaker coats and hats, and the sisters in their plain dresses and huge bonnets, a good and upright people, saying "thee" and "thou," and addressing one another, no matter how old or venerable, as James, or John, or Martha, or Mary, as the case might be. When I was quite young, we lived for two years in the township of Malahide, not far from Lake Erie, where father ran a sawmill. We boys took great delight in going in swimming, for which the creek and mill pond afforded splendid facilities. Before I learned to swim, I had a very narrow escape from drowning, which happened on this wise: A lot of boys coming home from school could not resist the temptation to go in swimming. I was only seven years old, and had not yet learned to swim. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
