1IIK MAIN INCIDCNTS III' HIS I.Il'i:.
In Ills youth mid early manhood Dr. Nevln
was n ilellcitii constllutlen, and hardly
hoped te Hiirvlve thongeoKO. He readlly
apprehended the IiiiporUuce of Bcrupuleus
care or his health ; and, by the avoidance or
all extremes and irregularities and the con cen con
Hervatlon or conditions of dlet, temperature,
ami exposure, he maintained hiuiNelf In geed
health ten remarkableage. Soventeen years
nge, when his family physlcl in pronounced
blin likely te hae lllteeu years of Hie, he
inatilfehted Incredulity; but Providence
which carries sjven te hear hairs" crowned
liliu with "the beauty or old men."
Dr. Nnvln'a father had been graduated
from Dleklinien, and his keen appreciation of
tun aiivauuige ei a nneral eilucatleti direciea
his en le Cnlen college, mid tiuhsoiiently
te l'rlncoten seminary and tlie 1'rosbyteriau
ministry. Iletween Ills graduation from his
college course, at an early ageaud with high
linnerH, ami his entering iiihiii the theologi
cal career which has wen ler him fame co
exlfliisive with Christendom, there wero ov ev
ural yesrs ofi-evere bodily prostration, which
was cured by recreation mid cemmunings
with nature, in the woedlauds and en horao herao horae
back. Frem the nutset he attained distinction as
a Hebrew nebular, and for two years, whlle
Dr. llodge was In Hurope, he tilled his chair.
He wrote his " ltlbllc.il AntlqiiUleV' In lh'.7
and in 1S'J8 was liconsed te preach by the
Carlisle prcishytery.

months, but In ISLl'.i, neon after Ills father's
death accepted and entered iiiven the duties
of the chair or Illblical llterature in the I'res
byterUn thoeloglcal seiiilnary In Allogheny.
There he remalned for ten yeara, teachlug,

te thirteen yean sorvlee In that mountain
lintun or thechurcli'a theological and literary
institutions. They wero years of great ac
tivity, el development, and or controversy.
There he was associated with Drs. Hauch
and Hchair, and Ireni that tnixlest Institution
wero lulnilned thunderbolts which shook
the world or thought In 1813 llie " Anxious
llencli " conlrevorsy arese and his famous
publications followed In quick micoesslon
about that tsirlisl.

chapters are devoted te Dr. Nevln, his en.
Irance Inte the Hofernuxl church by aiveiit aiveiit
aiice or the call te the nemluary pn)fesserliis
mid his I ilsitH there. He was elected by a
special meeting ( TsyiKHl at ChatiilsirHhurg,
lit 1SI0, without any opsistlen. He had
mastered tlm Herman language and was an
admiring student of the Herman theology
and learning. These eharaolerlsll and
thulr iiciualutatice with him through
his "Illblical Antlqultles" receiniueiideil
him te the body or earnest men who oheso
him, and he onlered iien his duties In the
springer 1810. Dr. Aplel dewrllxis him at
that iwrlisl as "a llttle ever 37 years, but
everything alsuit him, with the exception or
his dark, black hair Indicated a Kjronern
much greater age. His race was marked
with llie disip lines or thought, and his gilt
was that or h isirs.ni who had Imiiii accus
tomed te carry heavy bunions." He was In
troduced te the students by an ex
tended, exteiiisiranoeus discourse In the
chapel en a Sunday morning, marked
by great Intellectuality and originality.
Dr. Itauch, the genius, or the Reformed
Institutions at that time, grew enthusiastic
ever him ami was a devoted listener te all
of his preaching. Ills Inaugural, non the

Dr. It inch died In lsll. The fiineral dis
course and lermal eulegluiii upon blin deliv
ered by Dr. Nuvlu at the end or the term
were notable addresses; and quite nat
urally Dr. Nevln was called te the
HtieciMslnn. He was unwilling, he a of or,
te quit the seminary and consented only te
lake the presidency or the college tenisirarily
without pay, until Its presidency and ether
professorships wero mere fully endowed.
Ills nccessieii proed a source of great
strength te tlie Institution : but Its financial
Mippert was net that which the hopes of Its
Irieuds had anticipated ; and w lien negotia
tions opemsl for a transler or the Institution
te liiicaster audits union with Franklin,
Dr. Neln balled the project as ene which
opened the way for a uiore substantial
foundation of Its future career. Meantlme
his health had become seriously luiialred ;
welghtv labors, literary, philosophical ami
theological, In a large measure controversial,
tee. had iHirne heavily upon him and In K.t,
when the college was remeved hither and
Kev. Dr. 1 V. tlcrhart was chosen Its presl-
dent, Dr. Nevln tnunil roller from all elllclal
duties. Altera year's residence in Carllsle
he came te Umeaster, then for n few years
resided at Windser Ferge, nearCbiirchtewn,
this county, the home of his wlle's ancestors,
and llually built the present homestead west
of this t ,ty. Recalled te the new college,
from Hit te Imi, he tilled the chair et
philosophy ami history and icsthetlcs, mid
from m4 te ls70 was prosldent of the Institu
tion. During bII these years his pen was
busy and his w rltlngs ha e been voluminous.
Alter bis retirement from the collego he
preached frequently, wrote much and read
astly. Ills profound scholarship in the
ancient and modern tongues and the free
range of Investigation which he gave te his
mind, led him ever much ground ; he sound
ed low or depths and climbed lnttler height t.
I' n til lately Ills eye was net dimmed nor his
natural lercn abated, but be at last came In

An account of the position of Dr. Nuvlu as
a theologian, and or the many IncliIenU or bis
lile and controversies during the most ovont evont ovent
rul period or his career, at Mercersburg,
would run lar beyond the limits of this
sketch. Thothemo will be a prolific oue ler
many years te come. Kneugli te say that no
man or his tlme has lett doepor Impression
mi Iho theological thought or the age. In
this country ami abretd his pre-cmlnpnce
has long IkmIii roeegiil70d ; nml by common
consent his Furopean conlninveraries hae
assigned te him a position In this country as
a theologian and nieUphyslcian, net below
that or Jonathan Fd wards, who up te this
dav bad been easily the greatest
Very seen lie realised for the Refermed
church and Us Institutions, deploring the
death or Dr. Ranch, that his gins fitted him
te take the place of that brilliant genius
whnie career was se brief; and te the llttle
collego and seminary at Mercersburg was at
tracted the attention of the whole theological
world; and thore was laid the basis of a
theology w hlch became known the world
ever as " the Mercersburg system." Fn
(lowed with n philosophic mind of high
order, he was attracted te the profound philo
sophy el nermany, Btid began In psychology
mid ethics where Dr. Kaiich left oil. Ile began
ns a couimeiitator and educator, but as Dr.
Appel says, after thoroughly mastering
these subjects, " he reproduced them In his
own mind ami with (its superior knowledge
el the secret resources or the l.nglisn
language presented a mere distinct and
satisfactory vlew of German philosophy than
could be seen through (leriuan authors
Ihoniselves."
His writings have been prosentedte tlie juilv
llu mainly through the discourses el the class
and lecture room, the pulpltset the Reformed
church, the piges of the Mercerxbitrp Jievute
(new Jlrermnl Cnirct Quarterly), nnd In
the columns of the Mtsienyrr. All attempts
te compile them ami reproduce In systematic
lerm have been thus far a failure. Their au
thor biiusell never bad tlme nor Inclination
for this, If Indeed he felt ready te present
them as a complete and finished system of
philosophic thought The work will, how hew
ever, undoubtedly be undertaken by some
one of llie distinguished body or pupils mid
assoclates, who have studied, oxteuded and
applied his teachings.
IN CONTIIOVWISV.
Fer a considerable portion of UU llfe nnd
during the tlme of his most nctive labor Dr.
Nevln was very largely engaged In contro centro contre
vorsy upon the phases of religious thought.
which engaged his profound attention. His
disputation with Rev. Orostes Rronseu, I). D.,
attracted very general attention. Ills expo expe expo
sltleu of the Heidelberg catechism excited
most earnuet discussieit In the church of his
adoption, uud of which ler a generation he
has been recognized as the leading thinker;
and later the adoption of a liturgical form of
worship and the doctrinal quostlens which
It saemed te have luvolved were tim subjects
of great controversy In which be took a lead
ing part
His teaching or the spiritual real prosenco or
Christ in the I.euI'h supper, and that the
church was n continuous living institution
uoveiopmg iuuii irem me tlme or the npas
tles down te the present day, led te Heme
controversies, among which u nohtble
oue wan that conducted betwoen him
self In the Messenger and llav. Dr.
lterg In the 1'rutestant Jlanncr, His ' Mys
tical I'resouce " engaged him In controversy
with Dr.U.A.Hodgelu the J'rinceten llcvitw.
Rut the best kuowiiefall thoie controversies
was that which nroae out of the "Anxious
ltench" tract, and the criticism ensuing Irem
It and evoked in return upon that system or
rollglem revival. Hev. Appel, In his book,
has given an account el the proceedings lu
the election of Rev, Mr. Kamsay.a revivalist,
te the Refermed pulpit In Merrersburg town ;
of the correspondence between him ami Dr.
Nevln ; of lUmsay's declination, Ills llerce
letter explaining It and the resulting contro
versy which engaged the attention or the
Method 1st, Horeruied, Lutheran and I'resbyte
rian churches. With the advance of years and
the setllement of ninny questions which
had Isvnu disputed, and with his retirement
rrem nctive work mid regular writing, Dr
Nnvln nsenped the storm or oentrtivorcy
which lie had he long breasted ; and In the
later years or hi llleall the jieaceful and mel
lowing iiccenipjnlinciilM nl a happy old age
wereblslnt llecommaniled theunlvertial re
sicttf all denominations rer his Integrity
or Christian character, his elevated scholar
hip and Ter the purity or III private life. It
WBsthe went or liUramllyte held mi Informal
roceptlon til his frlemls at each recurring nn
nlvera.iry or his birth. Our leading cltlrens
never flled te de him honor tiKn these oc
casions ; nnd whenover llterary or religious
festivals or ether times brought back te the
city his old students, his associates, or the
ministers, elders and leading menilsirs of the
church te which he give a half century of his
Ille, they went their way .te Ciernnrven Place
ns te "a pilgrim shrine, n Mecca of the
mind."

In Us issiie of February HO, ISSIl, printed an
extended biographical notlce tif Dr. Nevln.
ai-cempanled by tributes te his character ami
estimates or his praetor as n theologian by
the heads of the Reformed institutions here
nml sotneof the city clergy. Frem theso we
ropreduco these extracts, ns lilting this
present occasion ;
Ri:v. Dit. i:. V. (litmiAHT ; "The Rev. J.
Willlmnsen Nevln, 1). D., Is noted ler jiro jire jiro
reund and bread thought In philosophy and
theology; ami his theological thinking ter
the last thirty or forty yea is Is remarkable
for the emphasis which he puts en tho;ierAei
of Jesus Christ. He was the llrst theologian
In the United Htntes who brnke away rrem
the system of Calvinism en the oue hand
and from Armlulanlsm en tlie ether, nnd
made the concrete unity of (led Hint man
the central Idea of doctrine and worship.
Fer a long tlme he steed alone en this
ground, with no sympathy rrem his
thoeloglcal ixsirs. Instead he was resisted,
severely criticized, and net unrrequently de
nounced. Rut he did net tench and con cen cen
tend in vain. A great change lias taken
place. Dr. Nevln has llved long oneiigh te
mii the central prlnclple or Christianity
alllrmed by hits in the ascendant He is a
man or learning and scholarship as well
as a profound thinker. This aspect el bis
worth has net come se prominently Inte
the foreground ; perhaiis chlelly ler the
reason that he Iiim been aerse te dlsplay,and
has always been mere concerned ler Chris
tian truth than ler porseual rennwn. Ills
learning Is acctirate and extensive, net only
In his Heclal department, but also in history,
the undent languages and In llterature.
Isp dally has he during his whole life la-en
a thorough student el Hely Scripture in the
original tongues. When mere than halt n
century nge he was n student of the theologi
cal seminary at I'rlncetnn, the study or
Hebrew, as he has often remarked, was
suptrlli-lal and yielded fowpermanontresulls.
He et his own motion read all the Isieks of
the Old Testament In the original ; and com
mitted many perllnna, by chapters, lsth of
the Old and New Testament te memory.

hirce I regard him as ene or the profoundest
thinkers or this age, whether In America or
KureKi. knowetnowrltor whoexcolshlm
lu the u se or forcible Fnglish, as seme erhis
lielemlcal atticles abundantly testify. Jehn
Henry Newmnn rosemhlos him In the purity
mid ferce el his language, but Dr. Nevln ad
ded te this the mere mystical depth that
comes rrem the Herman mind. Ills articles
In the urt7i ..tmcrtcrtH en "The Use or
l'hllejphy" mid en "Human Freedom " are
specimen's or his best thought and style.
Jonathan I'dwards, the elder, approaches
him nearest, In my Judgment, among the
metaphysical thinkers and writers or America.

as many books as seme ethers, yet his work

questionably, among the most Important

stages lu his lifework. First, his thorough
scholarship, which at the very earliest jieried
et his public career was recognized by all
who became acquainted with him. .Second,
his vas' grasp et mind In the widest range of
speculative thought He was a master and
teacher In the Held of Investigation iinsur iinsur
