Excerpt from True Greatness: A Discourse on the Character of Rev. Willbur Fisk, S. T. D., Late President of Wesleyan University; Delivered Before the Faculty and Students of the University, in the Methodist Episcopal Church, Middletown, Conn., Wednesday Afternoon, April 3d, 1839
It was at this time his intention to study law, and with that view entered the oflice of a highly respectable at torney. But again his circumstances embarrassed him. At the end of six months he abandoned his object and engaged as private tutor in a gentleman's family in Ma ryland. Heie he continued but a short time, not more than two years, when the rupture of a blood vessel in the lungs made it needful for him to return to his native air. On his way he was taken very ill with a fever at Burling ton, Vt., and was brought very near to death. But the wavs of Providence are merciful. He was spared for his own good and the benefit of many. On arriving at home he found a powerful revival of religion in progress, and by this means his serious impressions which had very much declined during his scholastic career were revived with greater force than ever. The complexion of his life was now entirely changed. He gave himself away to Christ, and entered upon the work of the sacred ministry, and thought Of nothing but to be a plain faithful and eflicient minister of the New Testament.
