circumstances. In his carly boyhood. young Eli worked upon the farm with his father in Hollis, but being then of feeble constitution. farm work was found to be too hard for him, and when about the age of sixteen. he was apprenticed to a shoemaker to learn his trade. In the fall of IS17, Rev. Eli Smith, Jun., then of Frank- fort, Ky., made a visit to Hollis, one purpose of which was. to engage a small company of young men. inclined to study for the ministry. to go to Tennessee to be educated, with that view. Upon hearing the public address of Mr. Smith upon the subject. young Sawtell. then of the age of eighteen, and two other Hollis young men, of about the same age, made up their minds to go to Ten- nessee the spring following. But when spring came, the courage of the other two failed. Under the agreement, made with his master. one year's service was still due on the contract of appren- ticeship. Having made up his mind to go to Tennessee, he bought of his master this last year's time, by giving him his note for $90. to be paid when he should return as a minister from Tennessee, which debt was promptly paid eight years after on his first return to New England.
On the first of May, 1818, Dr. Sawtell. then in his nineteenth year, started for Tennessee, a distance of eleven hundred miles (a large part of the way through the wilderness). on foot and alone. with his whole wardrobe, and library, consisting of a Bible, hynm- book and primer, tied up in a cotton handkerchief. In this plight. and with $14 for his expenses, he made his way to Maryville, Tenn., prepared for college at the school in that place, graduated at the college in Greenville, Tenn., in 1823, and at the theological seminary at Maryville in IS25, and was licensed to preach the same year. After being employed for about a year in collecting funds for Maryville college, in the year 1826, he came on to New Eng- land and spent two years or more, in various States, as an evan- gelist. He afterwards returned to the west, and in IS29 was settled as pastor of a Presbyterian church in Louisville, Ky., where he con- tinued till 1836. In the year last named, he was appointed agent of the American Seamen's Friend Society, and went to Havre in France, where, through his efforts, a seamen's chapel was built and a church established, of which he became pastor till 1843. when he was appointed agent of the Foreign Evangelical Society. in the service of which he was employed for several years. This agency led to his travelling and preaching very extensively, in both

His connection with that society having been dis- solved, he established a flourishing female academy at Cleveland, Ohio. of which he was principal till 1854, when he accepted a second appointment to take charge of the seamen's chapel at Havre. where he continued for the next nine years. In 1863 he again returned to the United States, and for a year or more served in the union army in the care of our sick and wounded soldiers. In March, 1865. he was again settled in the ministry, in charge of the Congregational church and society in Saratoga, N. Y., where he continued for about four years, when, by reason of impaired sight and health, he resigned and removed to Brooklyn, N. Y .. and after some years to Newmarket. N. J., where he still resides. While in Europe Dr. Sawtell received the honorary degree of D. D., from the college at Maryville. Tenn.

MINISTERS, PHYSICIANS AND LAWYERS NOT GRADUATES OF COLLEGE
REV. NOAH WORCESTER, D. D.,
son of Noah and Lydia (Taylor) Worcester, was born November 28, 1758. The opportunities of Dr. Worcester for attending school were limited to the short public schools in Hollis, which, such as they were. ended with the winter of 1774-5. In the spring of 1775, at the age of sixteen, he enlisted in the army, and was in the Hollis company at the battle of Bunker Hill. In 1776 he went to Plymouth. N. H., where he taught his first school. having (as he says in a short autobiography) " never studied Geography or Gram- mar, or even had the benefit of a dictionary." While at Plymouth. he says : " After I became an instructor, I felt the importance of learning, and exerted myself to obtain it by such means as were in my power. I found myself deficient in the art of writing. and being at Plymouth where. in the time of the war, it was difficult to procure paper. I wrote over a quantity of white birch bark. in imi- tation of some excellent copies I found at Plymouth."
Again in 1777 he was in the army, and was in the Hollis com- pany at the battle of Bennington, where. in his eighteenth year. he was fife major. In September. 1778. having bought of his father the remaining fourteen months of his minority. he went again to Plymouth with the expectation of spending his life as a farmer. except as he might occasionally teach school. The fall after he was married. on his twenty-first birthday.
In 1782 he removed with his family to Thornton. N. H .. where he had a small farm, and, while carrying on his farm there, also worked at the trade of a shoemaker. which he had learned in his boyhood. Obliged to practise the most rigid economy in respect to time, when at work upon his shoe bench. he was in the habit of

keeping pen and ink by his side to note down any important thoughts as they occurred. In this way he accustomed himself to a rigorous mental discipline, especially in the writing of dissertations on various theological subjects.
In 1785 he addressed a letter, (which was afterwards published,) to Rev. John Murray, the noted Universalist preacher of that day. "On the Origin of Evil." This was Dr. Worcester's first publica- tion, and soon brought him into public notice, and prepared the way for his introduction into the ministry. Upon the recommendation of the neighboring ministers he was licensed to preach in 1786. and on the ISth of October of that year was ordained as pastor of the Congregational church and society in Thornton. He had lived in Thornton for five years before his ordination, and in the meantime had been schoolmaster. selectman, town clerk, justice of the peace. and representative to the general court. From IS02 to 1804 hc was the first missionary of the New Hampshire Missionary So- ciety. In ISIo he removed to Salisbury, N. H .. and for three years was the assistant of his brother, Thomas Worcester. as min- ister of that place. While at Salisbury he published his well- known work entitled " Bible News." which afterwards passed through many editions.
In IS13, the monthly periodical called the " Christian Disciple " was established by a number of the prominent clergymen of Boston. and Dr. Worcester was invited to become its editor. On the acceptance of this invitation he removed to Brighton, Mass .. and continued to be the editor of that periodical till ISIS. While so' engaged his mind became very deeply interested in the cause of universal peace, and in IS14 he published his celebrated pamphlet entitled .. A Solemn Review of the Custom of War." an essay that was many times republished in this country and England. and was translated into several foreign languages. The publication of this pamphlet, not very long after. led to the formation of the Mas- sachusetts Peace Society. of which Dr. Worcester was elected Sec- retary. In ISI9 a quarterly periodical was established by this society, entitled the " Friend of Peace," of which Dr. Worcester was the editor and principal contributor till the year IS2S. when he resigned on reaching his 70th year.
His mind was afterwards directed. with much earnestness, to the examination of the question of the connection of " the Sufferings of Christ with the salvation of men." and in 1829 he published a

small volume entitled the " Atoning Sacrifice-a Display of Love. not of Wrath." In IS31 he also published a small work entitled " Causes and Evils of Contention among Christians," and in 1833. his last work with the title ". Last Thoughts on Important Subject -. " Beside the above works he also published the following : Sermon. at the ".Ordination of Rev. Thomas Worcester," and " Friendly Letter to Rev. Thomas Baldwin," 1791. "Candid Discussion of Close Communion," 1794; " New Hampshire Election Sermon." ISoo ; " Reasons for declining to adopt the Baptist Theory and Practice," ISog ; " Appeal to the Candid or Trinitarian Review :" 1814; "Thoughts on the Personality of the Word of God ;" and " Review of Atheism." IS16. Received the honorary degree of A. M., from Dartmouth college, in 1791, and that of D. D. from Harvard in ISIS. Died at Brighton, October 31, IS37. in his 79th year. His monument at Mt. Auburn bears the following inscription :
"TO NOAH WORCESTER, D. D., Erected by his Friends In commemoration of his Zeal and Labors In the cause of Universal Peace, And the consistency of his character As a Christian Philanthropist and Divine."
REV. LEONARD WORCESTER.
son of Noah and Lydia (Taylor) Worcester, born January 1, 1767. Mr. Worcester went to Worcester, Mass., in his youth, and served an apprenticeship to the printers' trade in the office of Isaialı Thomas, Esq., a distinguished printer and publisher of that time. After reaching the age of majority, he was, for several years, edi- tor, printer, and publisher of the newspaper called the " Massachu- setts Spy." In 1795, at the age of twenty-eight, he was chosen deacon of the first church in Worcester, of which Rev. Dr. Austin was pastor. and without any regular or systematic course of theo- logical studies he was licensed to preach by the Mendon Associa- tion, March 12, 1799, and was ordained as pastor of the Congrega- tional church and society in Peacham. Vt., October 30, 1799. He discharged the duties of his pastorate with much acceptance for thirty-eight years, till IS37. when he left Peacham on account of impaired health. He afterwards resided in Littleton. N. H., and St. Johinsbury. Vt., until his decease at the place last named, May 28, 1846, æt. 79.

REV. THOMAS WORCESTER,
son of Noah and Lydia (Taylor) Worcester, born November 22. 176S. Mr. Worcester studied for the ministry with Rev. Daniel Emerson at Hollis and was ordained as pastor of the Congrega- tional church and society in Salisbury, N. H., November 9, 1791. Objections were made at the time, (by some of the ordaining coun- cil) to the ordination of the candidate, mainly, for the reason that he had not had the advantage of a " college education." After considerable delay in consequence of this opposition, Judge Eben- ezer Webster, the father of Hon. Daniel Webster, and a member of the society, rose and addressed the council in an earnest and eloquent speech in which he said, " Mr. Moderator, we have chosen this young man for our minister, and we are satisfied with him : we have invited this council to ordain him, Sir, but if you do not see fit to do it. (he added with determined emphasis) we shall call another council that will." After this address the candidate was ordained without the call of a second council.
In the year IS07, Hon. Daniel Webster, then a parishioner of Mr. Worcester, united with his church. At the time of so doing, Mr. Webster wrote out his own creed, or confession of faith, which he left with his pastor. The original document in the hand writ- ing of its author. after the decease of Mr. Worcester, was found among his papers, by his executor, Judge George W. Nesmith, and by him deposited in the library of the New Hampshire Historical Society at Concord, where it is still supposed to be.
