Description
Excerpt from Sermons
David merrill, of the seventh generation from Nathaniel, was born in Peacham, Vt., 8 Sept., 1798. His youth showed no peculiar promise except a most voracious fondness for read ing. Addison's Spectator was his favorite work. He was early taught that to obey at home and at school was the first principle, Â to keep the Sabbath and attend public worship the second. The instructions of his worthy pastor, Bev. Leonard Worcester, to which he listened in the sanctuary, doubtless had considerable in?uence in moulding both his mind and heart.
