Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life of Daniel Wheeler: A Minister of the Gospel in the Society of Friends "Having frequently derived much valuable instruction from the perusal of narratives of those who have long since exchanged an earthly for a heavenly inheritance, the thought has at times occurred to me, that a short memoir of my own life, however evil, might, under the Divine blessing, be made, in like manner, useful to others. "Whatever may thus far have impeded any attempt of the kind, I am induced, not as a matter of choice, but as a duty, now in the sixty-first year of my age, to commence the work, as a faithful testimony for the advancement of our holy Redeemer´s kingdom in the hearts of my fellow-creatures. "I was born in London, in 1771: my parents, William and Sarah Wheeler, were members of the established religion of the country, and strict adherents to all its rites and ceremonies. They had a large family of children, whose minds they endeavored to imbue at an early age with the fear of their great Creator - taking them regularly to attend the performance of public worship, and also reading the Holy Scriptures in the family at home; portions of which I well remember reading aloud when very young. I have but a very indistinct recollection of my father´s person, not being quite seven years old when he died, leaving five children, of whom I was the youngest. My mother was endowed with a large capacity, combining great sweetness with firmness of mind. Of the loss of such a parent, I was very sensible, being about twelve years old at the time." D. W. went to sea in the merchant service at an early age, and soon afterwards entered as a midshipman on board a ship of war.
