Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Rev. W. M. Punshon, M.A., A Sketch of His Life: With Sermons Recently Delivered by Him in London, and a Variety of Choice Selections From His Public Addresses, Discourses, and Writings The Rev. Willam Morley Punshon, M.A., like many another noble specimen of the Methodist preacher, from the time of Wesley to the present, first saw the light in the county of Yorkshire. He was born May 29, 1823, at Doncaster, and was the only child of his parents. On the mother´s side he was related to the well-known Morley family, who for some time resided in Doncaster, and afterwards in Hull. Sir Isaac Morley, the uncle of Mr. Punshon, still resides in Doncaster; he is a respected magistrate of the borough, and takes an active and intelligent part in public affairs. Methodism has long maintained a good position in the town and neighbourhood; and a large new chapel has recently been built in the new part of the town, a district chiefly peopled by families who have been brought to the place by the Great Northern Railway Works. The family of Mr. Punshon being associated with the Wesleyan body, he connected himself in early life with the same Church, and his attachment to it has evidently grown with his years. One of the mental characteristics which, under wise and painstaking cultivation, have earned for Mr. Punshon his present distinguished position, manifested itself very early in life. His memory was remarkably retentive, and he delighted to test and to strengthen its powers by frequent exercise. Entering upon commercial life, in the establishment conducted by his grandfather and his uncles at Hull, he soon developed those excellent business talents which have since been ungrudgingly devoted to the service of the Church. Other talents, however, had been given to him, and these were improved by extensive reading and study, and by association with several young men, who, like himself, sought to improve the opportunities given them.
