A Brief Sketch of the Life and Times, and Miscellaneous Writings of Rev. J. Copeland (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from A Brief Sketch of the Life and Times, and Miscellaneous Writings of Rev. J. Copeland
Iiathrop, Wm. Robinson and myself. Milton Lathrop, a most ami able and lovely young man, died of consumption before finishing his studies. Another, Wm. Robinson, entered the ministry but died young in Auburn New York. A young lady also, Miss Ame lia Newton, became a foreign missionary to the East Indias. The revival also gave a powerful impetus to the Temperance reform, and may be said to have inaugurated the great anti-slavery agitation which for thirty years shook the nation from center to circumfer ence, culminating in the emancipation of four million of African/ slaves. In the fall of 1833, at the age of 16, my father sent me to the Oneida Institute, located at \vhitesboro, four miles west of Utica New York, to commence a course of liberal study, with a possible view to the Gospel ministry.
The Oneida Institute was in many respects a remarkable Insti tution of learning. As I havealready said, it was an outgrowth Of the great revivals of 1831, the most Of its leading students being converts of that revival, and burning with zeal and enthusiasm to enter the ministry. It was thus pre-eminently a christian insti tution. It struck out a new course Of study substituting the orig inal Hebrew and Greek, the Bible itself, the great immortal class ic, the writings of such authors as David, the sweet Psalmist Of Is rael, Of Solomon, the wisest Of men, Of Isaiah, whose writings for elegance, beauty and sublimity have never been excelled in ancient or modern times, Of John and Paul and of Jesus Christ himself, for the corrupt works of Latin and Greek heathen authors, whose writ ings need to be revised and many parts expunged, to fit them for the eyes of pure and virtuous readers.
