Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Of the Rev. Robert Finley, D.D., Late Pastor of the Presbyterian Congregation, at Basking Ridge New-Jersey: And President of Franklin College, Located at Athens, in the State of Georgia, With Brief Sketches of Some of His Cotemporaries, and Numerous Notes An intelligent gentleman, in the congregation of Basking Ridge, many years ago, while contemplating his beloved pastor, in the midst of his ministerial labours and successes, made the following declaration: "Were I ambitious, I would rather be Robert Finley than Cæsar or Bonaparte!" And truly his character was so exalted and pure, his life so conspicuous and useful his transactions so judicious and important, and his name so dear, that forming, in this transitory world, a memorial of his excellence, is an act, not less of justice to him, than of kindness to ourselves. Few men have recently appeared on the stage of life, more truly and deeply devoted to the interests of Christ´s kingdom and the good of mankind; few men have been so early in life, so prominently and so indefatigably engaged in enterprises of benevolence and piety; few men have performed so many labours in the church, and enjoyed so great a harvest of success in the divine service, as Dr. Finley. There are therefore but few, whose claims upon the church and upon the world, for posthumous regard, are so clear and so strong, as his, and there have recently been few whose lives and characters are so well calculated to instruct, to animate and profit others.
