Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Rev. William Cochrane He must have been a bright, breezy, pushing little fellow. Education has no resources by which a dull, stupid, heavy boy can be developed into a Dr. Cochrane. The primary schools of Paisley must have given much attention to fundamental work in those days, because at an early age young Cochrane wrote beautifully, handled figures dexterously, and displayed no weakness for originality in spelling. When twelve years of age he left school and entered the service of Murray & Stewart, booksellers, of Paisley, as message boy. It is quite safe to say that he could cover more ground in less time than any other message boy in the old town. Faithful and efficient service brought promotion, and in a few years we find him manager of the business. In 1853 our young friend came to what he described as the most "agonizing day of his existence." On the morning of July 11th, of that year, his mother died. He was well nigh crushed. His heart cried out, "O God, what shall I answer Thee? Teach me, O teach me submission." Two or three days after the funeral, Mr. Robert Brown, of Cincinnati, an old friend of the family, came to Paisley to visit Mrs. Cochrane. He was shocked when he heard that she was in her grave.
