HIS ITINERANCY. The love of God was no sooner shed abroad in his heart, ihan he felt a yearning pity, a burning charity, tor his friends and fellow-creatures. He not only induced his parents to have iamily worship on the morning and evening of every day in the week, as well as on the Sabbath, which they had been accustomed to have; but he also consented, though it was a deavy cross, regularly to officiate himself. He had his reward. All his relatives became hearers of the Methodists, and most of them members of Society. He then began to exhort his neighbours to turn to God. On the Sabbath he, went, in all weathers, a distance of more than six miles to meet a class, which assembled so early that in the winter he had to set, qut two hours before day. When he had met his class, he pro- ceeded to the nearest village, and, entering the first open door, said, Peace be to this house! If consent was given, he called in the neighbours, prayed, and gave a short exhortation. This done, he went to another village, and repeated the same plan, and so on through the day. But though he joined the Society in 1778, he did not venture to preach before June 19, 1782. This was at New Buildings, a village five miles from Derry, and the text was 1 John v. 19. The hearers were so well pleased that they entreated him to preach to them the next morning at five. This he did, from 1 John iv. 19. Mr. Bredin, one of the Preachers in the Circuit, believing that his young friend was called to the work of the ministry, wrote to Mr. Wesley concerning him, who immediately offered to take Adam into Kingswood School, near Bristol. When this proposal was communicated to his parents, they were quite indignant. His father would neither speak to him, nor see him. His mother told him, that, if he left them...
Excerpt from The Life of the Rev. Adam Clarke, LL. D., F. A.S., M. R. I. An;, Etc;, Etc No name in the history of Methodism, after John Wesley's, is more widely and honorably known than that of Adam Clarke. His "Commentary on the Bible" has been more generally circulated, both in the British Islands and in America, within the last thirty years, than any other exposition of the sacred writings. The Biblical culture of many a Methodist minister is due chiefly to that great work. And although it is now to some extent behind the present state of science, especially in the geography and topography of the Holy Land, its multifarious learning, and its excellent practical observations and reflections make it of great value, and keep it in circulation. But those who know Adam Clarke only from his Commentary know little of the man. His mental characteristics, it is true, are broadly stamped on that vast work: his simplicity, industry, self-reliance, boldness, even credulity, are obvious enough to the careful reader of the Commentary. But the nobleness of his nature, his thorough devotion to the cause of God, his spirit of self-sacrifice, his unfaltering loyalty to Methodism - these traits are chiefly displayed in other fields of his activity. To exhibit and illustrate them is the task of his biographer. A copious life of Dr. Clarke, by his son, including a curious and characteristic autobiography, appeared in London in 1834, (3 vols. 8 vo, ) and was afterward republished in this country. But it never sup plied the wants of the general public as a life of Dr. Clarke. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
