Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from War Inconsistent With the Religion of Jesus Christ
David Low Dodge's mother, when a girl, was Mary Stuart, and when she married his father, in 1768, was a widow bearing the name of Earl. The young husband hired a small farm, the wife by her industry and econ omy had furniture sufficient to begin housekeeping, and the little home was founded in which David Low Dodge's only sister Mary was born in 1770. Three years later the father hired a more expensive place in the same town, where the boy was born in 1774. During that year, he writes in his autobiography, my father became serious, and commenced family prayer. He was educated in the old semi-arminian views of his mother and the halfway covenant. My mother was a rigid Calvinist of the Whitefield school. Neither of them ever madea public profession of religion, but they were careful to observe external ordinances, catechize their children, and give religious instruction. They were honest, industri ous, temperate, kind-hearted people, universally respected and esteemed by all who were acquainted with them.
