These will always respond to any genuine expression of esteem or affection for one whose memory is thus cherished. As we have these common sympathies, I shall trust that I have one qualihcation for speaking to you of him whom we have all so long known and honored. John Moekett Cramp was born in St. Peter's, Isle of Thanet, July 25, 179G. His father Avas pastor of the IJapList Church in that place. The son rexeived such i)rivileges of education in his earlier years as the locality permitted. On the 13th of September, 1812, he Avas received by baptism into the membership of the church of which his father was pastor. He soon after began to 11 iiiiike public addresses on religii)us subject.^. In September 1814, being then eighteen years of age, he entered Stepney, now known as Iiegent's Park, College. After tlie completion of his studies there, he was ordained as pastor of the Dean Street liaptist Church, in London, May 7, 1818. lie subsequently returned to his native jdace and was associ.ated with his father in i)astoral lal)ors for thirte(;n years. In 1840 he became pastor of a church in Hastings, Sussex, being then in tlie maturity of his strength and dispUiying niarlced abilities as a preaclier. A large amount of valual)le Avork in the department of autliorship liad been aecomjdislied by him before tliis time of liis life. In 1841 an invitation was given liim to accept the Presidency of the I]ai)tist College in Montreal, from Avhich the liev. Dr. Davie.? had been calleil the year before to the Presidency of Stepney College. Fur several years Dr. Cramp discharged the duties of this new position in an eilicient and honorable manner, laboring in the midst of adverse circumstances to make the College permanently successful. After a time, the financial dilficulties seeming to be insuperable, he withdrew and in February of 1851 he accepted an invitation to the Presidency of Acadia College, In his letter of acce[)tanco he says : " Henceforth I devote myself to the cause of education and religion in ^Nova Scotia, es])ecially in connection Avith Acadia College." To liis fidelity to this devotion, the succeeding years bore ample testimony. His laborious and useful services in this College continued till June, 1869. After his retirement from official responsibilities and service in connection with the College, he continued to reside in "Wolfville, in the midst of familiar scenes and surrounded by friends, occupied as his strength would permit in literary pursuits, and watching with hearty interest the events of the jiassing days to note the effect tliey might have on the moral and religious condition of men, until his peaceful departure from this life on the sixth of December, 1881, in the 86th year of his age. Thus briefly are the more noticeable events of a long and useful life related. l)ut it is hardly necessary to remark that the life of a true man is not measured or described by such a recital of facts. It m a development, a growth, markctl by its own principles, and deserving of commendation according to tlie nature of those principles. It will be my purpose to lead you to consider somewhat the spirit and meaning of this long and active life, endeavoring at the 12 same time, as far as possible, to abstain from trespassing on the special topics which have l^eeii assigned to others who are expected to address you. It is somewhat difficult to bring clearly before our view the condition of life in Engliind at the close of the last and in the opening years of the present c(;ntury. It was a time Avhcn men's minds were stirred by great (questions. The old order of things was passing away, a new order was introduced. The principles of religious liberty wore coming to be more legitimately applied. The great revival under Wesley was still felt. The great leader in that womlerful movement left the stage only just before the close of the last century. Men were beginning to impaire concerning their obligations to carry the Gosptd to the destitute in various parts of the earth. In 1787 William Carey, who was afterwards acknow- ledged to be one of the foremost linguists of his day, was a pastor at Moulton, with a salary of $80 a year. In 1792 tlie Baptist Missionary Society of England was formed at Kettering, and soou after this Carey and his companions Avere sent to India. Andrew Fuller, who was acknowledged by all who knew him, to be one of the ablest theologians of that period, did not die until 1815. John liyland, Ilobert Hall and Jolin Foster lived till a still later date. These were household names among the Baptists in England in the first (quarter of this century. To know such men, to hear them, to live in a society i[uickened by their thoughts, stimulated by their purposes and moulded by their culture, was of itself a valuable education. John Howard died in 1790, Burke in 1797. In the same year appeared Wilberforce's Practical View of Christianity, which passed through iifty editions in about fifty years- The society for the suppression of the slave trade was (.)rganized in London in 1787. After repeated attempts and failures on the part of the friends of the measure, the bill for the supi)ression of the slave trade, having passed both houses of Parliament, received the royal assent on the 25th of i\rarch, 1807. It was not till August 28, 1833, that slavery in the British colonies was abolished by Act of Parliament ; and in the same year Wilberforce, the great advocate of this reform, died. Pitt and Fox closed their labors in the first years of the century, but Canning and Brougham were positive forces in the direction of public aliairs till a much later date. The period before us was marked by genuine power and honorable achievement in literature. It displays a large 13 number of names, famous in tlie realm of science. At that time the application of the principles of scienco to the practical arts of life was successfully cultivated. Great political questions were then discussed with an earnestness and directness seldom surpassed in any a^'c. After the fearful scenes of the French Revolution and the political reailjustments conseiiuent on the battle of Waterloo, men in England and on the continent felt that they hail lived on into a new era. The future was bright and they were full of hope and courage. It could not be otherwise than that the active, intelligent, and observant young man, who went in 1814 from St. Peter's to Stepney to begin his professional studies, and who was ordained in London iu 1818, should have been strongly inlluenced by the spirit of such a time, and by the knowledge, which he could not fail to have, of such renowned loaders of thouglit and action. AVe should be led by the nature of tlie case to conclude, even if we did not know the fact from other sources, that such an individual in such circumstances nuist have felt the movement of the time, and have been himself prompted to take ])art in the discussions of great topics that were occupying men's minds in those years. You who have sustained to Dr. Cramp the relation of pupil to a teacher, have witnessed the pleasure with which he referred to memorable scenes in which some of these great men bore a prominent part, and have hoard him describe the effects of their eloquence, and express his admiration of the abilities by which they commanded success in the various departments of public life. And if he sometimes permitted himself to reveal his feeling, Xestor-like, that men were men when he was young, we were not disposed to dispute the claim, remembering of what men he was thinking. He had been associated with some of them in the societies for important objects, Avhich then had their origin. He had seen them at their best in their public labors, and their spirit, exami)lc and abilities had left an impress on his spirit, which it bore to the last. It was probably in part owing to the events that were transpiring in the early years of Dr. Cramp's life, but also (|uite as much to the natural tendency of his mind, that he belonged through life to the party of progress. Ho did not regard an existing order of things as right merely because it existed. Having accepted certain principles, he expected them to be wrought out in practice. Keference has already been made to the fact that the lirst third of this century presented many vital (questions on which the English u peoplo were divided, sonic holding witli tlic past, otiiora pressing on to a dilFercut and, as tliey hoped, a better future. Only the most general reference to tliese could now be perniittcd. It will be enough sini])ly to name Catholic emancipation, the suppression of the slave trade, slavery in the Ih'itish colonies, the monopoly of tho East India Company, the rights of missionaries in the Jiritish provinces of Asia, the removal of the restrictions on trade and commerce, separation of the Church from the State, the right of Dissenters to University degrees and other civil privileges in regard to Avhieh tho laws discriminated against them, the advancenuiut of of national education, the circulation of the Eilde and of a reli'dous literature. Few generations iiavc been called to act on so large a number of important subjects. On most of these Dr. ('ramp developed strong convictions early in life, and afterwards la])ored most earnestly and nntiringly to carry them into elTect. His interest in the extension of education among the peojile, and in the promotion of Christian missions, and his spirited advocacy of the principles of religions liberty, deserve special mention. IIo desired " the greatest good of the greatest number," with a broader and truer view of things than that political philosopher, to whom this maxim is ascril.ied, possessed. These early preferences and convictions he cherished to the last, and rejoiced in the successive stages through Avhich the labors in behalf of tliese various objects were carried forward towards a successful issue. In regard to some of them he Avas permitted to share in the exultation of victory. In respect to a few the contest still continues ; but he never lost hope in regard to the result, and died believing that others would ere long see what he had desired. The great questions of public interest that arose with tho passing years. Dr. Cramp met with the same spirit that distinguished his early life. During the revolutions that convulsed Europe in the middle of this century, his sympa- thies were with all who desired to eidarge the freedom and improve the civil condition of the people. To tlie close of his life he was a thoughtful student of the various problems growing out of tlie relations of the colonies to the mother country. He was jealous of anything that might tend to weaken at any point the integrity of the Empire, and yet he believed that the strength and greatness of the Empire would bo best promoted by a large measure of freedom and self-regulation in the several parts. He was among the first to discern the benefits of a union of the British Provinces of IS'orth 15 Aniorica, and tho devclopniont of tlio iigav Dominion Avas watched by liiiu "svitli tho aHuctionato intorost and hopufulnu-is of true jiatriotism. Very soon after his removal to Montreal he declared liiniself in sympathy with the purpose of tho variou.s oi'^'anizations ■which were designed to prevent intemperance. He labored jicrsever- ingly lo bring the communities in wliich he lived to a clear percei>tion of the dangers that constantly rise from this great source of disorder and crime, and his voice and pen contributed not a little to the force of argument and a})peal by which so marked a change lias been jiroduced in public opinion in regard to the jdiysical and moral evils of intem[)erance. As Dr. Cramp was greatly interested in his earlier years in the success of the societies that had been forniecl in England for the wider circulation of the J5il)le and the production of a sound religious literature, so when in sub.--e(|uent years the (piestion of the revision of the translation of the Jlible l)egan to be agitated, ho at once declared hinrself favorabU; to the project, lie connected himself with the American J>i])lc Union when its supi)orters were few, and for a long term of years was a regular contributor to its funds, believing that tho immediate as as Avell as the more remote consc(|uences of its efforts for a clearer translation would be a wider diffusion of the knowledge of the Bible and a more abiding interest in its truths. And when, more recently, revision was undertaken by the English Commission, again his sympathies and hopes were aw ' oned. He watched the events that indicated the progress of liio work with constant interest, and when the fruit of so much patient study appeared he received it Avith thankfulness. Many of the changes introduced by the revisers he had anticipated. There Avere others which surprised him. We accepted his expression of dissatisfaction with these, not as the complaints of an old man looking to the past for his ideal of Avisdom or goodness, but as the utterances of a life-long habit of mind according to which he judged that no human work was to be accepted as ultimate, but that the best of to-day must be improved in the days to come. He was not blindly optimistic, but, believing that all things are directed by a beneficent providence, he found strength and comfort in constant labors for the good as yet unattained. His eye turned naturally to the future, and for him memory Avas the servant of hope. But Avhilo the natural impulses and settled purposes of his mind Avere in tho line of noAV acquisitions of knowledge and a higher 16 tlcvclopmont of human institutions, in ono depnrtmont of tliouglit antl ])('lie£ he heUl by tho past. In his view tho Lest fruits of the civilization and culture of the last eighteen centuries were to ho traced to the principles on which the church has rested. His hope for tho future was Imsed on the truths which, as lio believed, had thus (inickened thought and diixicted life in the past. lie accepted in tho main what has been called the Theology of tlie lieforniation, and found constant delight in following the labors of the strong men who wrought and suffered for these doctrines. His early life fell at a time when the inlluencc of such men as Leigh Richmond, Henry ^Sfartyn, Simeon and Cecil was felt as an inspiring power, — names which a generation ago were pronounced in the church with reverent affection, but which seem to be now almost unknown in the rush of new events. His sympathy with the spirit and methods of these devoted laborers continued through life. The writings of Cecil Avere especially valued by him, and some of them were for many years a handbook of private comfort and edification. The nature and tendency of the Tractarian movement he discerned at its l)eginning. Its later development has been but the unfolding of what he saw in the germ. Though he fouml little in rites and ceremonies to satisfy liis soul, he was not inclined, on the other hand, to mystical or quictistic notions of religion. A theology developed from metaphysics he disliked. As an interpreter of the Scriptures he sought the grammatical and logical meaning, rather than some occult doctrine which must be evolved by a spiritualizing or allegorizing process. He was satisfied with the plain statements of the Scriptures, and believed that these should be preached, not to please a philosophical curiosity, but to produce the proper fruits in the practical life. His active mind followed closely the efforts of noted men of culture and learning who are attempting to show how the wisdom of the present must dispel the most cherished beliefs of the past. But their methods of reasoning brought no conviction to his mind. He gratefully acknowledged that the critical studies on the Scriptures, by which the century has been distinguished, had shed light on some portions of the written word. But notwithstanding all these criticisms, that word remained unchanged for him in its essential character. It was to him something more than the voice of a dead past speaking to an age that could not comprehend it ; it was rather the voice of the living Spirit from whom all truth proceeds, speaking to the heart of man 17 m In for all tiino. Ho fouiul great pleasure in tracing tlio niarvollous researclies of modiirn sciunoe. The learning and the patient industry by which such valuaLlo accumulations of facts have been made and so many scientihc principles elucidated, evoked from him admiration and gratitude ; but -when these explorers amidst the mysteries of nature permitted theniselves to speak as if they had discovered the secret of the universe, they lost their hold on his mind. To account for tiiis wondrous sum of things about us and th(! ndations of part to part, scjmething more seemed to him to be necessary than could be expressed by the terms force, environ- ment, heredity and luck. The new cosmology was to him a dreary desert. The ncAv teleology was onl;, .m ingenious etlbrt to turn the world upside down and put the last first. In the midst of a generation, many of whose Avise men declare that in all their seachings they cannot find God, that in all the resdm of nature they can see no trace of His hand, nor in all the course of human history discover any indications of His will, ho was ready to stand in his place and avow his faith : I believe in God, the maker of heaven and earth ; I believe in his revealed wordj spoken by holy men as they were moved by the Holy Ghost ; I believe in the Gospel of His Son, the power of God leading men unto eternal life. ^lost of us will say that such a faith Avas tlie manifestation of true wisdom. Some may say that such expressions indicate a type of nnnd that is passing away. The future Avill determine which is right. I'ut we remember the words which our departed friend occasionally (Quoted in his expressive style of utterance : " Sire, the church of God is an anvil that hath worn out many a hammer." It was not necessary that one shoidd remain long in Dr. Cramp's presence in order to learn to what denomination of Christians he belonged. Acknowledgment of the revealed Word as the rule of . . . . . . • faith in distinction from ecclesiastical traditions and decrees, — the preservation of the constitution and ordinances of the church after the type which the Apostles had given to it, — the manifestation of the faith of the individual as the condition of membership in the church, — the acknowledgment of the invisible and si)iritual Head of the church as the source of life and authority, — the indepen- dence of each community of believers in applying for itself the principles of church organization and church discipline, while bound to kindred communities by the duties and the ties of a 18 common fellowship,— tho insi.stonco on tlic fruits of faitli manifested ii\ a lii;,'li morality, as distinguisliin^ tlie believer from those who have not the faith, — (h^HJudenco on an ever-pniscnt Spiritual Power to give elficacy to the word and constantly renew tho energy of the cluirch, — a vivid sense of pergonal resitonsihility joined with a fretidom of thought and »i)eech that reverently regards the authority of the Scriptures and is chastened by the heaven-born graces that accompany genuine faith,- — tliese were the notes by which he recognize(l the true church. AVherever men appeared holding these principles, he regarded them as brethren. His long and toilsome studicss in the records of the past were, for the most part, a labor of love, since he desired to l)riug into the light, as far as possible, the lidelity of all who had been true to such principles, however humble may have been their station, or however few or dishonored they may have been at times when the majority of the church had a name that they lived and were dead r>ut while he was clear and decided in his convictions and beliefs his eye was quick to discover the manifestation of the love of truth. Wherever this might appear it commanded his sympathy. He was willing to* learn of any, no matter of what name. It did not concern him whether one had been pronounced ortliodox or heterodox. The cluef points with him were, what is the spirit, what the life, what the aifections which one b(;ars to the unseen Head of tho church. He had learned from the study of the past, that often the streams of true doctrine and life have come down through devious channels. The lessons of experience combincvl with his natural hopefulness to make liim feel that a leaven of truth might be at work in forms of thought that might be disturbing the placidity of many good men. Ho believed that it was well to have a form of sound words, but he always remem- bered that the spirit giveth life. Alf who became acquainted with Dr. Cramp, very soon kneAV of what nati(jnality he was. He never had any inclination to conceal the fact that he was an Englishman, The vast accumulations of Avealth and consequent increase of power, together with the wonder- ful development of the practical arts in England, the achievements of British arms in all parts of the world, the lists of English name." famous in science, literature anil statesmanship, the development of A system of constitutional government which by the experience of centuries has been shaped to guard the rights and freedom of 19 of ler- ents t of enct* ii of the lminl)lo.st as well aa the higliest in tho land, — all this lio coiitt'inplutLvl with gi'iuiino satisfaction, and ho tlrnily holievod that « pooplo who wcrw iJiado illustrious by such achicvcnicnts in the l»ast, worn destined to a more j^dorious future. I Jut ho elainiod the ])rivilege of expressing,' his opinions on any action of th« government of the day ; and we all knitw tlwt ho was ahlo to <'xpresa these t)pinions in terms that could be easily underst(M»d and remembered. lUit these criticisms did not lessen his attachment to the ^,'reat iKvmt! of Kn^'land with all that that term convoys of proud remend)rance of the past or hopeful promise for the future. ]>ut vliile he was so attached to liis native land and the realm of which it is the heart, his tlioughts annsc(jueiitly of growth, and as this labor proceeded from benevolent juotives, the result was u prolongetl course of uscfulnc^ss. I shall ask you to note but one otlier cliaructeristic of him whose life we are reviewing, — that was, l»is al)iding cjnvi«;tion that Chris- tianity and intelligence are not antagonistic, but, on the contrary, that tlie latter is properly the servant of the former; and henci; his abiding desire to see an intelligent and comprehensive application of tlie principles of Christianity. He believed in the ettuality of the members of the church, and in the responsibility of the entire mem- bership ; but he also l)elieved that gifts of teaching and of government wero bestowed on some for the good of all, and that these gifts should be exercised in such a manner that the clmrch should appear as a well-ordered and thriving community, sliowing how diversity of gifts contribute to perpetuate unity of life. Intelligent laymen are in the cburch to lead it forward in every good cause. Tlie duty, the privilege, is theirs. Their call will l)e manifest in the wisdom of their work. It follows from this that the ministry is the highest of all offices. Hence it is necessary that this office should be held by men who are able to meet its responsibilities. They may be great classical scholars and philosophers or they may not, but they must be men who know the people and whom the people can know, — men Avho understand the doctrines of the Book they are sent to teach, who understand the spirit of the times and can adajit their methods to it, men who in general intelligence and culture can win the respect of the communities they are to lead, men who can speak a word in season to the timid Nicodemus, and the alarmed jailer, and the inc^uiring eunuch, but who can also comprehend the meaning of the fact that the last chapters of the Epistle to the llomans are the bloom and the fruitage of the earlier portion, that herein is the typo of the development of the church, that, if it does not perpetually show the corresponding bloom and 21 ■ho the so ,he ier ill, frnitai,'t», it is licciiuso there is iiu life, or, at lit-st, Imt a fi-fhlt* lifo in the .sto(;k.

I'loltahly Dr. ( 'ramp's ^'reatest work was in the line of his cirorts to train siu-h a ministry for sncli olmrches. He sitinetimes f^riut ns, one may ask, of what significance is it if one of them goes out 1 l\nt when we think how much of lovo and hope, joy and energy, noble purpose and successful accomp- lishment, lias been concentrated within the life that we have been considering, its value grows in our estimation as we contemplate it. While we honor the memory of the dead with the tribute that is its due, we are gaining deeper and truer views of the possible dignity and value of every human life, and so the good who have loft us, live again with us in the better lives of those who remember .tJiem. dh. champ as a teacheb.

L., Chief Superintendent of Education, N". 15., and one of the Governors of Acatlia College, spoke as follows ; — Although, Mr. President, I have Ijceu unahle to command cither my time or my tiioughts in any adequate degree for this service, I should ho unfaithful to a great and revered memory, and untrue to my own feelings, did I not say a few words on this occasion. The shock of that stroke of death which, on the 6th of December last, removed John Mocket Cramp, the second founder of Acadia, and the beloved and revered t(3acher of so many of us, was felt wherever in the wide world a scholar of Acadia happened to be. "When I bade him farewell in his study one sunny day last September, ho spoke words which cheered me in my work, as he had so often done before, and added with resignation and hope, " I am now only ■waiting for the great change." That was the last time I saw him. I cannot now recall the time when I first saw him. It seems to- me as if I had always known him, so early and so large a place does he fill in my present recollection. It was in 1854 or 1855 that I took residence on this hill as <^ pupil in Horton Academy. Dr. Cramp had then been conniicted with Acadia some three or four years. He had left England in 1844 to take charge of the Bixptist Theological College, .^Foutreal, of which institution he was President till 1849. This was his first I)ublic educational labor. AVhile in the pastoral office in England, however, as early as his pastorate in London, he gave private instruction to occasional students. I have recently read a letter written to one of his pupils in 1819, in which I instantly recognized " the touch of a vanished hand and the sound of a voice that is still." When Dr. Cramp come to Acadia there were few students at the College. With the aid of Professor Chipman he carried on tlie Arts department and the department of Theology. This was a courageous undertaking ; but the following summer Professor Chipman and four students of promise were suddenly removed by the appalling disaster in yonder Pasin. That was an overwhelming event to Dr. Cramp, but liis brave heart rose above it, and 23 liis trust in God inspired him to do great things for the salvation uf the College. During this period of intensilied trial his labours were prodigious, disclosing a depth of roRourc(>, a breadth of attainment^ and a range of actjuisition which were fortunate indeed for the future of this institution. At one time or another he here taught Latin, Greek, history, mental philosophy, moral philosophy, evidences of Christianity, rhetoric, logic, political economy, and geology, besides the various branches of the theological department, including Hebrew and Greek exegesis ; and he was almost e(iually successful as a teacher in each of these subjects. The wiile range of his scholastic attainments doubtless had much to do with his marked freedom from old-time prejudices resi)ecting the subjects which should find a place in the undergraduate course. Ho attached much importance to a study of those branches of knowledge which the experience of the world had proved to l)e fit instruments of culture, being himself undoubtedly the best i)atristic .scholar in the Dominion ; but his nihid was always open to considerations designed to adapt the curriculum to the progress of knowledge and the currents of modern thought. Dr. Cramp believed that right conduct and capacity for effective work were the objects of education. There were ever })resent to him the practical relations subsisting between a sound body, a pure heart, and a clear head. Physical, intellectual, and spiritual health, certifying its existence in conduct and labor, was, in his view, a preparation for imlependent life, and ensured self-direction and progress. Worthy and purposeful activity which brought the energies of the Avhole man into play was to him the chief end of knowledge and discipline. He reversed the saying of 15acon, and affirmed with the emphasis of his own example that " light is nut only a good thing to see, but to see by." The result Avhich he desired to see in course of hopeful accomplishment in the case of every student who came within these walls, was the producing of a Christian man, standing four sijuare to all evil in his own heart, in society, in church and in state, with sympathies as broad as humanity, and with skilled energies for doing abundant work. His old scholars present in this great assemljly will readily recall his paternal interest in their physical healtli, his practical hints on food, clothing, and daily exercise, and the encouragement he always gave to manly sports, though looking with disfavour on violent exertion and feats of strength. He took note of physical 24 training only so far as it is a necessary condition of perfect health. 'I'he doctrine of Pascal, that " disease is the natural state of (christians," was abhorrent to him. As T call up before me the every day contact of students Avith Isim in College "work, I feel afresh the inspiration of his intense personality. Dignified in mien and bearing, Avith an eye to command, his ])resencc in the lecture room was stimulating in a high degree. Every student instantly recognized in him a man of original force and skilled e(i[uipnient. In his teaching all truth rested on facts, and reputed facts must be verified before serving as a ground of induction. He taught that lesson with as much persistency as the leaders in modern physics, bnt uidike many of them he set his face steadfastly against every })hase of mere speculative knowledge. Clearness and r(!alness were essentials' with him. The over-Aviso student found himself put suddenly and severely on the defensive, and felt the thrust of a Damascus blade. He had a rare gift, Avhich he used in a rare way, of humbling self-conceit, anil giving pride a fall. He made his students feel the immense superiority of intellectual honesty to intellectual power. Accuracy Avas demanded as a <|uality of prime importance. He believed, Avith Arthur Helps, that the man Avho is to succeed must liaA'C an almost ignominious love of details. His OAvn knoAvledge Avas Avonderfully minute and exact, and once ac(|uircd seemed to be always at the command of his Avill. His extraordinary memory Avas his right arm in the presence of his class. His criticisms and comments were keen and incisive, cleaving error to the bone Avith the inevitableness of fate. His students Avere made alive to the truth that correspondence betAvcen the thing thought, the thing done, and the thing said, is a test of consistent and noble type of life. Every recitation Avas a discipline in veracity, in careful statement, in thinking before speaking. Desultory reading was seen to be of little avail, and Avide reading — that it tended to confusion unless care Avas had to read first the latest standard works in any department of knowledge. There Avas always a breezy and stimulating freshness in the atmosphere of his lecture room. It was no cloister dim. The shoutings from the fields of victory in the outside Avorld, whether of peace or Avar, resounded Avithin its doors, and Avere turned to swift account in animating the facts of history, in Avhich he Avasso deeply and accurately versed, or in giving vividness and reality to 25 some practical truth of science or pliilosopliy. It was his [»ractico to use the latest discoveries of science for the purpose of empha- sizing the limitations of existing knowledge, and the vastness of the domains awaiting exploration. He kept tlie windows of his lecture-room Avide open to tlie worM of action, and trained his students to share in tlvought and feeling tlie struggles of the men of tliis age the world over in establishing or defending the principles of political or religious libert}'. As an extreme illustration of the freedom with which he handled before his classes subjects which were not set down in the printed course, but wdiich he knew were really there, I may instance his exhibition of righteous indignation when the facts in connexion with tlie so-called Jamaica Eebellion were laid before the world. Rising in the lecture-room, (to the stature of a giant, as it seemed), the liglitning flashing from his eyes, he denounced the hanging of men, the flogging of women, and the burning of houses, as the acts of a weak and cowardly tyrant, who was a shocking disgrace to the English name, and worthy of death. It was nothing to him that Kingsley, Tennyson, Ruskin and I arlyle lent the weight of their great names in defence of Governor Eyre. The inviolable rights of citizens of the Empire, and the rigl.ts of humanity itself, had been outraged. It was therefore, he said, of concern to the students of Acadia, and demanded their execration. Intelligent but downright hatred of oppression and tyranny, in every form and in every clime, and glowing yet intelligent sympathy with freedom and constitutional liberty, were aims most surely accom- plished by him in all his students. A loyal Englishman himself, his students learned from him the force and power of a discrimi- nating and ardent Christian patriotism. They not only gathered new love for their native land, but felt the noble revenmce of his spirit for the institutions of England — reverence not so nuudi for any special forms which they had assumed, as that their existence testified hist(jrically to the courage, endurance, and moral stamina of the race, and thus gave assurance of stability and progress in personal liberty and free government. By means such as these hti sought to lift his students out of the isolation and poverty of mere provincial life, and enrich and ennoble them by a consciousness of vital relations as wide as humanity. Within the range of my experience his educative force in this direction was uni(iue, and altogether remarkable and immeasurable. 26 Associated Avith tlic earnestness of -wliicli T liavc spdVeii, and pontitniting it through and through, was the not less striking cliaracteristic of his cheerfulness. He was liabitually cheerful, and his spirit, like that of all earnest souls, was contagious. The discontented, gloomy student was lifted out of himself by the huoyanoy and stimulating (quality of Dr. Cramp's animal spirits. There was perpetual sunshine in him, whose warmth revealed the singular youthfulncss of his sympathies. Stuilents divined at a glance, and proved through long years the correctness of their first impression, that he had never lost the hoy's heart. ]Iis friishness and spontaniety ; his interest in comparative triiles when these were of interest or prolit to his students ; his swift transition from. mirthfulness to gravity ; his purity of heart ; his gentleness and tenderness — these ard such as these, so obvious to all, and so perennial in their manifestation, attested the childlike nature which dwelt at the very centre of his being. Every one who knew him as a teacher will say that he was, of all men, a stranger to The hardening of the heart, that brings Irreverence for the dreams of youtli. In College discii)line Dr. Cramp was considerate, but iirm and decided. Ho knew well the virtue of Arnold's maxim, " A teacher must not see everything." He expected, and secured in a very high degr(!e the conduct of Christian gentlemen on the part of all. He largely relied on healthy activity, maidiness, the sense of honor, and the feeling of moral obligation. IFe desired to train every student not merely to obey when the pressure of authority was upon him, but also to use freedom aright when he became a law unto himself. He was interested in the spiritual welfare of his students. His public sermons seemed to be largely prepared under a sense of thei" needs, ami were full of the helpfulness of the ( lospel. My mind reverts, however, with special interest to his Sunday afternoon addresses in the old Academy Hall. "Who that heard t\umi can forget how his words revealed a strength and ardency of loyalty to a personal Christ, hardly inferior, as it seemed to that of Paul's ; an intelligent reverence for the Bible aa " the great text-book " — " the Magna Charta of soul-liberty," " the manual of conduct," and "the final authority" in this world in all matters between man and his (!od. There nmst always be a large percentage of College students whose moral and spiritual rubicon is passed before their arts course is completed —sensitive spirits who, as their outlook grows more and more elevated, are overwhelmed with a con.'cious- ness of whai it means to live loyally to all tluit is noblest in tluim and above them, and do a righteous man's work in the struggling, roaring world for whose cont(;sts they are preparing. Sudi spirits are oppressed in secret under a sense of the awful solitude that enc()Ui})asscs personal responsibility, and yearn for the synii)athy of strong and tried souls. I know that I speak to the hearts of many when I say that they recall with grateful emotions tlie affectionate and helpful sympathy with which Dr. Cramp was wont to receive them under such circumstances, when sought in his [irivaie study. Tlie solemnity of life was no new thought to him. He did not argue with one who t!iu3 approached him, but gently drew aside tlie almost transparent covering of his own inner life, disclosing its underginling and overarcliing faith in the crucified and risen Christ. That was the citadel of his confidence, iuul his n^pn-t; was a great testimony to doubting and perplexed hearts ot the sustaining power of religious faith. Beyond all verbal instruction and conscious aid rendered to his students in the capacity of stimulator, helper, and director. Dr. Cramp taught very powerfully by the force of his own examjile. In this way, more continuously and perhaps even more successfully than in any other, he appealed to his students to regard time as a pricidess gift ; to adopt regular and orderly methods of Avork ; to cultivate intellectual thrift ; and to labor with fidelity and conscientiousness. In the same forceful way he was ever giving empliasis to prom])tness and despatch, and reading out to his students in cheerful and earnest tones the practical truths that they must be self-instructors ; that they must not only be good, but gf»od for something ; that the battle of life is not fought by proxy ; that nothing has been done by man that cannot be better done ; that every one should be occupied, and die with the consciousness that he had done his best ; and that humility is — the root From which all heavenly virtues shoot. "We Alumni, to whom he addressed such stirring words at graduation, saying " Quit you like men," have known the [jerfection of his professional courtesy since we left the precincts of Alma Plater, now doul)ly endeared to us by his precious memory. He followed us all into the wide world with a watchful eye and the 2« y earnest prayerful and protracted study ho had mnde himself conversant with the heaven-inspin^d Book. The history, biography^ types, shadows, prophecies and promises of the Old Testament were as familiar to his mind as t.ie letters of the olphahct. lf(! had examined with critical acumen the relations existing l)etween the ancient and the gospel dispensations, the perfect liarmony (jf the two testiimenta and their bearings upon the unfohlings of the true faith, and salvation of man. The Bible of God as a whole was his text-book on all occasions, and from these inspired resources ho was accustomed to bring out things new and old. He believed with a i)ure heart fervently in the inspiration of the sacred scriptures, and therefore he rejected with withering re])uke teachings of a mere intellectual philosophy, the dogmas of Popish superstition, and appealed from all human authority, direct to the word and testimony of the living God. His quotations and illustrations were, for the most part, from the inspired records. This fact gave to his ministrations special point and power. 4th. He was an Indnstriuus preachcv. His ministry took in a Avide range of work for the Master. He istudicd, wrote and taught until he was recognized by all as a master in Israel ; but in such connections, and in such relations to the church as invested his ministry with increasing power for good. Some people imagine if a man be called to preach the gospel, he must do nothing but stand up and proclaim, as best he can, the messages of life, but I like the broader view. If a man can preach the word not only with his tongue, but with his pen, by the press, through Academic or Collegiate instructions, or by means of Christian As^ork of any kind, in the name of the Lord let him do it. AH acknowledge the special care of the Apostle of the Gentiles to preach the gospel ; but he supplemented his sermons with fourteen epistles that have been a brilliant light to the churches in all Dr. Cramp, like the Apostle, supplemented his succeeding ages. 31 prearhin<^ with tlio prudiictions of lils ready pon.

All along the lines of his busy life he seemed to hear a voice behind sayinj^f, "Work while the day lasts." And work he did until the activities of life were exchanged for the (quietude of death. f)th. Dr. Cramp was an c feet iva preacher. Not because he was loud, boisterous, or exciting, but because he was lucid, comprehensiye and pungent, addressing his messages with much point and force to the understanding and to the conscience. There were no cumbersome s(!ntenees, or far-fetched illustrations to bewilder the brain of his hearers, Init ev(uy senti.-nce was lucid, decided, iiiii>ressive. His sermons were so arranged as to give to each his [)ortion of meat in due season. Who can tell the number of Chrirstians edified and strengthened liy his ministry, or the many souls which shall appear in the crown of his rejoicing i The liudit of etcrnit^v alone can unfold the beuelicial results of his protracted ministrations. 6th. He was a 7'efi.dy preacher. How frequently wo have heard preachers, when called upon unexpectedly, refuse to preach, assigning as their reason the want of i)reparation. lUit Dr. Cramp was instant in season and out of season. Our Ordinations, Associations and Conventions can witness to the fact that Dr. (J ramp was always ready to prciach when called upon to do so. His prolific mind seemed prepared at any moment to produce a sermon just appropriate to the occasion. 7th. He was a redval preaclier. Not perhaps in the general acceptation of this term as applied to evangelistic labours of modern times, who direct their preaching wholly to the awakening of churches, and to the multiplication of convert.-, but in a highly important sense, he was a genuine revival preacher. Some of ycni present will remem])er with what distinctness this phase of his ministry was especially brought out in a style that probably astonished himself as well as some of his most intimate friends. In the year 1855, wlien a mighty revival wave passed over Horton Academy, Acadia College and the people of "Wolfvillc generally, some who are here to-day reniember how heartily Dr. 32 Oraiiip entered into tliat blesaiMl work of grace, proacliiii;j; the word ill d(!inonstriition of tlio S[»irit, leading,' penitent converts to the fountain of cleansin;^' and (Muiduetin^' new born l)('lit!ver.s throngh waters of (Jliristian baptism into the cliurch of (Jod. JIu Dr. Cranij) was accustonuMl at our Associations and Conventions to s|ieak with (juivering Hi) and tearful eye of that precious revival as a new experience to himself ami as a marvellous unfolding of the un.searehal>le riches of grace divine. Many of the sulijects of tliat mighty outpouring of the Spirit have gone t ) their rest above, and, it may be, are looking down over heaven's ])attlement3 upon the proce(Mlin,L;s of this day Among the number I may mention the names of William Johnston Dugald Ihonipson, Charles Harris, C. F. Ilartt, Henry Vaughan, and Andrew P. Jones. "Who can tell but these now sainted ones were among the first to bid their teacher and spiritual guide welcome as he went up from his death chamber at "NVolfville to take his place among the glorified in the heaven of heavens ! While some of the converts of 1855 are with their teacher above, thank God others remain to this present hour to perform Avell their part in pushing forward with accelerated force those great interests of education and religion for Avhich Pr. Cramp so faithfully and successfully labored during the best portion of his l>rotracted life. God gave us one Dr. Cramp ; He has now taken him away, and wc can only say : " Servant of God, well done ; llcst fVoiii thy loved employ ; The buttle fought, the victory ■won, Enter thy Master's joy." 33 DH.
