wbi pre-eminently a man of heroic
and humanitarian ideaU, whose
personal piety, beneficence and
high moral teachings deserve the

approbation of all good men.
In one of his sermons he declares:
"Without bread and wine the strongest
bodies decay ... bread and wine keep up
our natural life"; and again when criti

liquor as "one of the noblest cordials of
nature.
In a pamphlet entitled "Primitive

with your stomach, if not good small
beer."
During his lifetime he. traveled into
every corner of the British Islands, crossed
the ocean to America, preached 40,000
sermons and drank good malt beer and
wine, from youth to old age, dying at
over 80, a marvel of noble fortitude,
physical endurance and mental power.
