" Mr. Dickinson was born of respectable and pious parents, at Amherst. The traits of character which, more than any other, marked the opening period of his existence, were the mildness and amiableness of his natural disposition. He was also noted in
76
DICKENSON.
early childhood for a great fondness for literary pursuits. So that, 'although his constitution was naturally slender, and his health feeble and interrupted,' a very considerable portion of the hours, which were not employed in manual labor, were devoted to study. ' He lived with his parents, and labored upon a farm until six- teen years of age ;' when, beholding his country engaged in a common and dubious struggle for independence, the deep interest excited in his bosom for her welfare roused his youthful ardor, and would not suffer him to be dissuaded from espousing her cause, and enlisting, as a private soldier, in the militia. In this capacity he con- tinued to serve in the army about fifteen months. Upon leaving this post of suffer- ing and danger, his health having been enfeebled by the exposures and hardships to which he was unaccustomed, he commenced fitting for College, under the tuition of the Rev. Dr. Dwight, late President of Yale College, who was then engaged in the instruction of a private school at Northampton. 'It is believed, on good authority, that Mr. Dickinson was principally induced to seek a liberal education in consequence of his witnessing so much depravity and wickedness in the army. This depravity and licentiousness which he found to be more or less acted out by mankind generally, he felt determined to combat ; and that he might do it the more effectually, he sought the aid of a public education.' Having completed the preparatory course of study, he was admitted at the age of about eighteen, a member of Dartmouth Col- lege. During the first year of his collegiate life, the Institution and vicinity were visited with a 'special and remarkable revival of religion,' in which he became a hopeful subject of renewing grace ; and subsequently made a public profession of the religion of the gospel. ' While at College, Mr. Dickinson was diligent and persevering in the prosecution of his studies ; appeared to advantage at recitations and all the literary exhibitions of his class ; and acquired the reputation of a correct, classical scholar.' He grad. in 1785 ; and was immediately after appointed Pre- ceptor of Moore's Charity School, connected with the College. In the instruction of this school, he continued one year ; when, for the more advantageous prosecution of bis theological studies, he put himself under the private instruction of the Rev. Dr. Tappan, then minister of Newbury, Mass. - and afterwards Professor of Divinity in Harvard University. Previous to his settlement in this place, he preached at Exeter and Hopkinton in N. H., and in several vacant parishes in the northern part of this State. 'As a preacher,' says the discriminating Dr. Emmons in his funeral Ser- mon, 'he was plain, faithful, and affectionate. And as he firmly believed in those doctrines, which are usually denominated the doctrines of grace, he felt it his duty often, plainly and affectionately to state and illustrate them. The native and total depravity of sinners ; the necessity of regeneration by the special operations of the Holy Spirit ; the doctrine of personal election ; the necessity of disinterested and holy affections towards God and men, in order to become interested in the atonement of the Saviour ; the Deity of Christ, and the doctrine of a Trinity of persons in the Godhead, together with those doctrines, which naturally grow out of the preceding, are sentiments which he firmly believed, and which he considered as of the greatest importance. No considerations of popularity or self-interest conld deter him from a plain and frequent exhibition of those truths which are so offensive to the carnal mind.' ' He was very apparently,' is the language of Dr. Emmons, a man of God, who exhibited the reality and beauty of religion in his private conversation, as well as in his more public and official conduct. He gave convincing evidence, that he loved those doctrines which he taught to others, and taught them in love to their souls. The whole tenor of his preaching plainly indicated, that he sought to please God, rather than men ; for he did not shun to exhibit the most essential, the most humiliating, and the most heart-searching truths, in terms too plain for any to mis- understand. He had a clear, strong, and pleasant voice, which enabled him to speak with peculiar propriety and energy ; and as he aimed to draw the attention of his
77

hearers to his subject, rather than to himself, so he seldom failed of deeply impress- ing their hearts and consciences. IIe loved to converse upon religious subjects, and greatly excelled in private discourses with his people. He was among the most zealous ministers and Christians to spread the gospel, and to extend the kingdom of Christ through the world.' *
" Mr. Dickinson's ministry was attended with some peculiar and great trials. At one period of it, there was much uneasiness, animosity, and disturbance, which con- tinued, in a greater or less degree, through several years ; so that the parish twice refused to grant his salary. But in each of these instances the people were wise enough to discover their mistake, and rescind their votes. The origin and occasion of the difficulties which existed do not appear from any record either of the town, or the Church ; but are commonly understood to be found in the offensiveness of the doctrines upon which he insisted .; They, however, resulted in the calling of a Council by the Church, June 4th, 1804; which advised to the dissolution of the pastoral connection subsisting between him and the people of his charge, in the August following, should not an amicable adjustment of difficulties previously take place # Happily those difficulties were so far settled, that, on the 25th of the same month in which the Council sat, the parish passed a resolution in favor of the continu- ance of the connection. For about nine years subsequently, Mr. Dickinson continued, in peace and quietness, to exercise the office of a gospel minister in H., and, after a lingering and painful sickness, calmly and peacefully expired."

* Mr. Dickinson was one of the most zealous founders of the Massachusetts Missionary Society ; was repeatedly elected a member of its Board of Trustees; and in 1811 delivered its Anniversary Sermon, which was published.
+ If Mr. D. had only springled robin-shot in the aisles, instead of throwing bombs at the pews, he would have been to the opposition unexceptionable. But that he was right, and they wrong, was evident from confessions to him when on his death-bed.
The question submitted to the Council was simply, "In existing circumstances, is it duty, that my pastoral relation to this Church should be continued ?" It is, perhaps, due to the character of Mr. Dickinson, that the following paragraph, extracted from its declared result, should be here inserted. "The Council are deeply affected with the calamitous situ tion of this Church, and the divisions which subsist in this town. They tenderly reflect on the trying situa- tion in which the Pastor, a brother honored in the Churches, and affectionately respected by them- selves, is placed. The merits of the Controversy have not been submitted to this Council. They, therefore, will not undertake to approve or condemn ; but recommend it, with great solicitude for the present comfort, and highest spiritual interests of the Pastor, the Church, and the People, that they respectively cultivate that unoffending and conciliating spirit ; that attachment to truth and virtue ; and that love to one another, which reason so powerfully dictates; and the gospel, under so many motives, enjoins."

Oliver Everett, A. M. and M. D., b. at Dedh., a lineal descendant of Richard Evered, of D., 1637, grad. 1821 at Brown Univ., and subsequently received M. D. at Dart. Col. He s. in S. ab. 1824, where he spent his days, and d. aged ab. 50, worn out by professional labors. To do any justice to his character as a man, a citizen, or a physician, would exceed my ability and limits. Suffice it to say, his worth became ineffaceably stamped upon the minds and hearts of the entire community, and no man of his generation ever fell in S. whose death was so universally and deeply lamented. His character seems to call for a more extended obituary than has appeared ; and I cannot but hope that his successor, or some cotemporary practitioner, will supply it for embodiment with the history of the physicians of Midd. Co. It is due to merit, and might be a valuable legacy to medical students, at least in guarding them against self sacrifice, and pointing out the way to au honor- able and enduring reputation. He m.
