JOHN BARTHOLOMEW GOUGH
John B. Gough (1817-1886), probably the world's most famous temperance lecturer in this country and abroad, joined Mount Vernon Church May 4, 1845. His second wife, Mrs. Mary E. (Whitcomb) Gough, joined at the same time. In his enlarged Autobiography, published in 1869, he testifies the following:
My pastor, Dr. Kirk of Boston, often visited us, and spent many days under our roof. We were, and are still, members of his church, though we are rarely able to attend ; but in consideration of my way of life, the church kindly agreed that we should hold our membership. Though necessarily absent so much, we were very loth to dissolve our connection there, as many associations in the past, have bound us in tenderest ties to the dear church of Mount Vernon.
His life is a story of thrilling adventure. He was born in Sandgate, Kent, England, and at the age of twelve came to the United States, ap- prenticed to a family which had emigrated here. He worked on a farm in Oneida County, New York. In 1831 he went to New York City, where he worked in the binding department of the Methodist book establish- ment. Because of drinking and dissipation, he lost his position, and in his poverty, was reduced to giving recitations and singing comic songs in "low grog shops" and saloons. He was married in 1839, but his drunken habits reduced the family to poverty. His wife and child soon died. In 1842, at the age of twenty-five, he attended a temperance meet- ing, where he was induced by a benevolent Quaker to sign a pledge. He resolved then to devote his life to the cause of temperance. He lectured in a fiery manner, and with great zeal and success, all over the United States and England. Relating his experiences with great effect, he was able to influence many other poor souls. In 1853 he was engaged by the Lon- don Temperance League and lectured for two years in the United King- dom. He died in Frankford, Pennsylvania, in 1886.
His struggle to conquer the temptation of strong drink is a story of a
179
APPENDIX R
desperate and courageous fight. This weakness was exploited by his former associates and enemies who called him "liar," "swindler," "hypocrite," and worse. He dared not even take Communion because he feared the temptation of the wine. He was constantly trying to live down the past.
In the fall of 1845, about four months after he joined Mount Vernon Church, he visited New York where he was scheduled to give a lecture. A stranger, in passing him some soda, dropped in the glass some power- ful dope. Mr. Gough became very ill, and in an unconscious state, was taken by the stranger and his pals to a house of ill fame. News of this unhappy experience soon reached the ears of Dr. Kirk and the deacons of Mount Vernon Church. Deacons Daniel Safford and Julius A. Palmer were appointed to investigate the circumstances. The Committee visited New York City, and with the scientific procedure of a modern detective agency, they "improved every opportunity to elicit facts which might con- firm or contradict it." In company with officer Hayes, they "stopped at the house on Walker Street and inquired about Gough's rescue from it, as could be made from conversation with the women who inhabit it."1
Convinced that the unhappy affair was a frame-up, the Committee with commendable tolerance concluded that "no action of the church is demanded in relation to the matter; and they commend to the continued confidence and sympathy of his brethren, one whom God has heretofore honored as an instrument of doing much to withstand the progress of sin, and who now has been permitted to fall into fiery trials which, we trust, may fit him more perfectly to serve his Master on earth or in Heaven."2
