Was Precocious Boy.
John Witherspoon was born in Scotland
in 1722, the son of Presbyterian parish
minister and a great-grandson of John
Knox, from whom he inherited several
of his most conspicuous traits. He was
highly educated in the classical and di-
vinity schools of the University of Edin-
burgn. entering at the age of fourteen.
and being ordained and beginning his
work as minister at the age of twen-
ty-one. He was a precocious young
man, and gained scholarly distinction
and a reputation for oratorical ability
when he was a mere boy. One of the
most important features of his university y
life was his membership in a debating
society and literary club, where he met
the ablest professional men of Edin-
burgh. as we'll as the most proficient
students. and doubtless this experience
led him to organize the two famous lit
erary societies of Princeton one of which.
Wing Hall. was founded by James Mad
ison. who was Witherspoon's private
secretary during a portion Of his course
at Princeton.
In 1741. when Witherspoon was
nineteen, John Whitfield preached in Ed
inburgh for several weeks. The fresh
ness and force of his sermons. the
originality of his thought and his de-
psrture from the professional methods
preston upon the young theological stu
dent.
Witherspoon's first charge was the
parish church of Beth. Ayrshire. Scot
land. to which he was appointed by the
Earl Of Eglinton, and he remained there
for twelve years, devoting himself dill
gently to the duties of his parish and
making a wide reputation as a preacher.
He was fond of study. his sermons were
carefully prepared committed to memory
and delivered without notes. His the
o'ogy was the Westminster Confession
of Faith. from which he never departed.
He was wide reader. rrrnarkabie
linguist. and especially familiar with
Greek and Latin classics. history. French
literature and philosophy, and the works
of the ablest German writer's. He mar
