God endowed him with sound understanding and solid judgment His knowledge was extensive and his observations on men and tb;nrs ripcned by long experience, were just anj accurate. To this was added spirit of activity. He was never so happy as when engaged in the active work of the ministry. He was abundant in labors; going from house to house, preaching the glad tidings of salvation. He was peculiarly happy in giving comfort to the distressed; and was truly a son of consolation.
