"If there is one fact or doctrine or promise in the Bible which has produced no practical effect upon your temper or conduct, be assured that you do not truly believe it." Payson
Edward Payson(1783-1827) American Congregational preacher, was born on 25 July 1783 at Rindge, New Hampshire, where his father, Seth Payson(1758-1820), was pastor of the Congregational Church. His uncle, Phillips Payson(1736-1801), pastor of a church in Chelsea, Mass., was a physicist and astronomer.
Edward Payson graduated at Harvard in 1803, was then principal of a school at Portland, Maine, and in 1807 became a junior pastor of the Congregational Church in Portland, where he remained, after 1811, as senior pastor, until his death on 22 October 1827.
As a side note to Mizpah, which is taking the scriptures and quotes from the 1882 book by Charles Cullis, today I would like to recognize my mothers 83rd birthday.
