Amos Cady, first of Tolland, then of Vernon, Conn. She was living (1850) with her son-in-law, Russell Cady of Vernon, Conn.

FAM. 4. Jonathan 4 (Rev., D.D.) (Rev. Timothy,3 Rich.,2 W'ne.1), Pres, of College of New Jersey; was educated by his father, then highly-esteemed as a teacher of the classics, at E. W .; studied Latin when 8 yrs. old; grad. Y.C., 1720, before he was 17 yrs. of age; res. in college for nearly Jonathan Edwards two years after, fitting himself for the ministry; in 1722 preached for a few months to a small Presbyterian congregation in New York city, but out of respect to his father's wishes declined their invitation to settle; in May, 1723, received a call to the Church and Society in Bolton, Conn., which, after much consideration, he formally accepted, 11 Nov., 1723 ( Windsor Farmes, p. 82), but his pastorate there, if any, was brief, for in June, 1724, he was appoint. tutor at Yale College, which office he held until 1726, when he was invited to preach as colleague to his grandfather Stoddard, Northampton, Mass., where he was ord. as colleague Feb. 15, 1727. Ilis work here was a great and useful one (Mr. Stoddard died in 1729), and in 1734 and '35 occurred, under his ministry, one of the most extraordinary revivals in America. We quote from Dr. Sprague's admirable sketch in the Amer- ican Pulpit : " After this there was no unusual attention to religion in the congre- gation until the early part of 1740, when another revival occurred in connection with the great religious movement inaugurated by the labors of Whitefield. Against the fanatical tendencies and demonstrations, so prevalent at this period, Mr. Edwards set his face like a flint; and in this sad state of things originated his celebrated work on the 'Religious Atfections,' designed to discriminate between a genuine and spurious Christian experience.

Mr. Edwards's ministry, up to the year 1744, had been eminently successful and happy; but at that time an event occurred which proved the harbinger of great disquietude and agitation. It had come to the knowledge of the pastor that cer- tain immoral practices [the custom of 'bundling'] were indulged in by some of the young people of the church; and after preaching a most impressive sermon on the general subject, he moved the appointment of a committee from the church to investigate the matter and report the result of their inquiries. Such a committee was appointed, and when the report came to be read from the pulpit, it turned out that among the culprits were members of many of the most influential families of the place. Great disaffection was produced by the course which had been taken, and it was forthwith determined by the church that they would proceed no further; notwithstanding the decision must needs involve the deliberate yielding up of the discipline of Christ's house.

The church in Northampton had, under the ministry of Mr. Stoddard, received the doctrine that unconverted persons, provided they are not immoral, have a right to come to the Lord's Supper. Mr. Edwards had always had his doubts in regard to the correctness of this doctrine, but never reached the full conviction that it was unscriptural until the year 1749, when he published his 'Humble Inquiry into the Rules of the word of God, concerning the Qualifications requisite to a complete

blood, which were transmitted through the union of Richard Edwards and Elizabeth ( Tuthill) to the Edwards line, crop out here with all the force of nuimpaired vitality. Writers who have speculated much on the strange and curious outbreaks of depravity in certain members of the Edwards race, but which were restrained by the strong will of President Edwards, to renew their fierce activity in his son Pierrepont. and his grandson. Aaron Burr, can find ample explanation of their origin upon physiological grounds, if they will study the history of that branch of the Tuthill family ;

" Great wits are sure to madness near allied. Aud thin partitions do their bounds divide."

standing and full communion in the visible Christian Church.' This produced the greatest excitement, and a plan was quickly matured for effecting his removal from his charge. The matter was submitted to a mutual council consisting of the neigh- boring ministers, and it was finally determined by a majority of one, that he shoukl be dismissed. He remained in Northampton for some time after his dismission, and occasionally preached to the people when they had no other supply; but the parish at length had a meeting, and passed a formal vote that he should not again enter their pulpit. During all this time there were a considerable number of the members of the church who were fully satistied that he was in the right, and who remained his fast friends - indeed, so strong were their convictions and feelings on the subject, that they proposed to withdraw from the old church and establish a new one, provided he would consent to remain among them. Though he was not favorably inclined towards the project, on the ground that it might serve to perpet. uate dissensions in the place, he so far yielded to their wishes as to consent to sub- mit the matter to an ecclesiastical council. Such a council, in due time, convened, and, after due deliberation, reached a result in harmony with his own convictions; so that the matter was finally abandoned.

The great mass of those who joined in opposition to Mr. Edwards never mani- tested any change of feeling in respect to him. A few, however, on mature retler- tion, saw and acknowledged their error; and among them one of the most eminent civilians of that day in Massachusetts, who addressed a letter to him, written in a tone of the deepest regret and humiliation, and who, in due time, received one from him in return, that would have done no discredit to the magnanimity of Stephen. Mr. Edwards, in being separated from his congregation, was deprived, to a great extent, of the means of supporting his family. He was, however, generously cared for by his friends in Scotland, who sympathized deeply in his troubles, and sent him a liberal pecuniary donation. Within less than a year, however, he received a invitation from the church in Stockbridge to become their pastor; and at the same time he was solicited by the Commissioners at Boston of the 'Society in Lon- don for Propagating the Gospel in New England and the parts adjacent,' to be- come the missionary to the Housatonic tribe of Indians, then residing in Stockbridge and its vicinity. Ile accepted the invitation of both the church and the Commis- sioners, and was set apart as a pastor and a missionary, in July, 1751. Here he continued ten years, and during this period wrote his celebrated works on 'Origi- nal Sin,' and on the 'Freedom of the Will.'

On the death of his son-in-law, the Rev. Aaron Burr, president of Princeton C'ol- lege, the trustees of that college immediately turned to Mr. Edwards as a suitable person to succeed him; and he was accordingly chosen, and with great reluctance and many misgivings accepted the office. He was dismissed from his charge in Stockbridge in January, 1758, and was inaugurated as president at Princeton on the 16th of the next month. He had scarcely entered upon his new duties, however. when the prevalence of small pox induced him to be inoculated and this disease was the cause of his death, 22 Mch., 1758."

Many writers have essayed the task, and the facts of his life and the measure of his genius are now fully estab. lished. * We cannot, however, refrain from quoting the cloquent tribute paid to this most eminent of all Am theologians, by the author of Windsor Formes.

THE EDWARDS FAMILY.

" Full justice is being done this wondrous man both at home and abroad. The brilliant light which broke like a meteor's gleam from these western wilds, when he arose and demonstrated his propositions, has spread like a silver lining over the dark clouds of German mysticism, while to-day the great minds of England and France pour high enconiums on the humble . Stockbridge missionary.' In the back- ground of our New England history he moves a figure of the stateliest proportions ! Yet, we who live so near the scene of his labors and triumphs have not seen him as they who, removed from the immediate conflicts in which he engaged, have viewed him. . . . But, now, at the distance of more than a century. we begin to realize the force of his character, and vie with each other in offering some ref- utation of the proverb, 'A prophet is not withont honor save in his own country, and in his own house.' No loftier praise has been accorded any American than this tribute from the Westminster Revier (1852, Vol. Ivii.): 'Before the commence- ment of this century America had but one great man in philosophy, but that one was illustrious. From the days of Plato there has been no life of more simple and) imposing grandeur than that of Jonathan Edwards, who, living as a missionary at Northampton, * then on the confines of civilization, set up his propositions, which have remained as if they were mountains of solid crystal in the center of the world.' Ile came upon the field during the contentious period when the primitive Church of the New World was struggling against the assailing powers of darkness. The in- sidious workings of the 'half-way covenant' had prepared the path of corruption and opened the way for innovations which threatened the spiritual life of the Church. Ilis youthful ear had listened to the noise of tumult in his father's house, where the rival factions that wrangled over the location of the new meeting-house were wont to assemble. The very college in which he was educated was without a resting- place, and not until after his graduation did the fierce war over its removal to New Haven cease. Upon all these petty strifes and dissensions Edwards had looked with that apparent indifference with which the great warrior looks upon the skir- mishing pickets of the advancing foe; but, nevertheless, he read in them the signs of the times, and when, a few years later, the Church of Christ, weakening in the grasp of the relentless world-power, was about to stoop to concessions unworthy of its high position, he rose ' and thrust between the struggling foes his giant strength,' forced apart the relenting foes, and, with the sword of the Spirit in his hand, fought his way to the front ranks of the eighteenth century polemists."

Jonathan Edwards m., 28 July, 1727, Sarah (dan. of Rev. James) Pierrepont of New Haven, Conn., she being then in her 18th year, remarkable as an example of early piety, and combining the highest graces of personal branty with the more surpassing graces of a cultivated mind and a heart which " dwelt with God." It was to her that the delicate and pure mind of her future husband paid the follow- ing exquisite tribute of appreciation, inscribed in 1523 upon the blank leaf of a book, still preserved :

" They say there is a young lady in -, who is beloved by that Great Being who made and rules the world, and that there are certain seasons in which this Great Being in some way or other invisibly comes to her and fills her mind with ex- ceedingly great delights, and that she hardly cares for anything except to meditate on him. That she expects after awhile to be where he is, to be raised up out of the world and caught up into heaven, being assured that he loves her too well to let her remain at a distance from him always. There she is to dwell with him. There- fore, if you present all the world before her with the richest of its treasures, she disregards it and cares nothing for it and is unmindful of any pain or affliction. She has a strange sweetness in her mind and singular purity in her affections, is most just and conscientious in her conduct, and you could not persuade her to do anything wrong or sinful if you would give her the whole world, lest she should

offend the Great Being. She is wonderful for sweetness, calmness, and universal Benevolence of mind, Especially after this Great Being has manifested himself to her mind. She will sometimes go about from place to place singing sweetly, and seems to be always full of joy and pleasure, and no one knows what for. She loves to be alone, walking in the fields and groves, and seems to have some one invisible always conversing with her."

Her father, Rev. James Pierrepont, was fourth pastor of the 1st church in New Haven, and her mother (his 3d wife) was the dau. of Rev. Samuel Hooker, second pastor of the 1st ch. in Farmington, and gr .- dau. of Rev. Thos. Hooker, first minis- ter of Hartford, Conn. She died at Philadelphia, Pa., 25 Oct., 1758, in 49th year.
