Excerpt from Memorial of Rev. John S. Inskip
Heaven came down our souls to greet, While glory crowned the mercy-seat.
What irresistible exhortations welled up from the abundance of his good heart, sprang spontaneously from his vivid imagination, and fell with thrilling effect from his burning lips anointed with the unction of the Holy One! Were there ever exhortations exactly like his? How his powerful frame would quiver under the fervor of his own fiery soul I Was he not pre-eminently adapted to almost every occasion? Was he not naturally and graciously equal to almost every emergency? Sometimes thundering with awful eloquence; sometimes flashing with the lightnings of the law sometimes melt ing all hearts with the dying love of the suffering Son of God at other times exquisitely touching in his almost womanly tenderness and still again brimming with his own joyous exuberance! How the proud, the formal, the sober and the sanctimonious would relue tantly, yet surely crumble under those marvellous appeals full of sanctified wit and wisdom, and expand into a contagious good humor! How the stiff, stately and stubborn would bend, and sway and bow under his extraordinary insight into all phases of human nature, and his equally extraordinary spiritual discernment. His very pleasantry was ready and forceful yet chastened, sanctified and singularly correspondent to time, place, persons, and Circum stances. Rarely or never at a loss; seldom off his guard; full of native dignity commanding cordial respect yet cheering the grav est hearts.
