| | His youth and preparation for the ministry |
 | | His soul was prepared for the awful work of the ministry by much prayer, and much study of the Word of God; by affliction in. |
 | | During the four years that followed his awakening, he was oftentimes under the many waters, but was ever raised again by the same Divine hand that had drawn him out at the first, till at length, though still often violently tossed, the vessel was able steadily to keep the summit of the wave. |
 | | With such peculiar talents as he possessed, his ministry might have, in any circumstances, attracted many; but these attractions were all made subsidiary to the single desire of awakening the dead in trespasses and sins. |
