Excerpt from In Memoriam, Rev. Charles Brown, Mrs. Eliza a Brown His mind was for some time greatly exercised on the sub ject of religion, but it was not until July 14, 1826, when he was twenty years of age, that he surrendered himself to Christ. In the first volume of his diary, which he had kept for nearly seventy years, he vividly describes the event, which, after a season of prayer, took place at noon of that day: I felt my sins roll off from me almost as sensibly as though they had been a garment cast aside. Immediately I experienced that joy which the world can never give. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
