Excerpt from Memorials of Charles Stoddard

I have been long, he writes, din the habit of reading well-written biographies of good men; and think they are of excellent influence when well pre pared, and where the character was truly excellent. How great and blessed has been the influence of the published memoir of Henry Martyn, off Brainerd, of Payson, and others! How many have been stirred, by reading such works, to a higher stand dard of Christian character and devotedness! A good man should wish to do good not only while he lives, but after he is gone, by the help of the printed page. And I should be willing' that those who survive me should make such a disposition of my mental remains as they may think proper; and if any thing I have said or done, is by them thought to be useful to the cause of Christ, let them print it.
