He was a man of fine abilities, eloquent in the pulpit, popular in the community, and of high moral character. He was greatly beloved by his people, and had an unquestioned influence with them; not enough, however, to preserve the younger members of his flock from the worldly gayeties and follies introduced among the sober and sedate citizens by the officers of an English regiment quartered among them. Public balls were held, and an extemporized theatre was organized, in which the young officers were the actors. In spite of the good dominie's efforts in and out of the pulpit, the young people were in raptures over these new forms of amusement, and turned a deaf ear to his pleadings and warnings. Some of them in the near future had grave cause to regret that they had not heeded his admonitions. |isbn= }}
