lIKV. JESSEHEItfKB.
A Yoic<‘ Iroui lt|<‘ Tomb.
The editor of tbo Washington Ga
zetle has recently been presented by a
lady friend with an unpublished poem
of Mr. Mercer, which is published in
the Gazette, with the following sketch,
which will, no doubt, be read with in
terest by ipany of the older of our rt-ad
! ers who have themselves seen and
'heard that remarkable man, or have
' heard their fathers and mothers tell ol
him:
Half a century ago the Rev. Jesse
Mercer lived and preached and ruled
the people, in their religious uflairs,
all through this region of country. He
lived in a house in this place, on the lot
of the late Judge N Wylie, now the
property of Ip* daughter, Mrs. M. An
drews. The house in which Mr. Mer
cer lived was divided into two parts (it
was buiit in the shape called an L)
moved back into out buildings which
are still standing, and the present large
land handsome residence built on the
spot where it stood, by Judge Wylie,
who purchased the property after the
death, we think, of Mr. Mercer.
There are a considerable cumber ol
persons now living in this and the ad
jacent counties who remember this
great Baptist preacher, we having list
ened to him in our childhood, when he
preached in the Baptist Church in this
place. In h's day he was a great man
and w is considered the greatest preach
er of b.s age in this country. His in
■flucnce was greater, perhaps, than that
of any minister who ever lived in this
portion of the country. He wa widely
known, and was looked up to by his
follower:?and those of his faith, then
the almost universal belief of the peo
pie of this section as almost infallible.
He was the founder of Mercer 1 Diver
sity, which was established at PenSeld,
under his auspices, as a manual labor
school. Ho was. po doubt, a great
preacher and a great man. or he could
not have made the reputation nor have
wielded the influence he did amongst
the early settlers and pioneers in this
portion of the Stato. He was evidently
the uian for the times in which and the
peoplo amongst whom ho lived. He
must have been r. man of intellect, and
certainly was one of indomitable will
a i'l ei ergy. Ho must have been a man
who was obliged to rule. ITe could
brook no opposition, and his fiord was
the law with hi flock. He no t only
expounded the Gospel, and held firmly
to the faith of his and nomination, even
in their most extreme views, and held
his people strictly up to his tenets, but
he was often appealed to by member*
of his persuasion to Settle disputes, to
decide between utan and man, and was
even eailed upon to settle domestic diffi
culties and to quiet house-hold distur
bances. His word was law, and he, no
doubt, did much wood amongst th*
sturdy settlers who came down from
irginia into this country, by prevent*
inw law suits amongst them and by
bringing peace to many an unhappy
household. But the old man seemed
'to fancy that he had quite a turn in the
poetical way. Like manv great men.he
seemed to have a mistaken idea ns l<l
wherein was his greatest talent. As a
preacher he must have been a man of
m ii t; as a man of bold, independent
thought and of great character there esn
he no doubt, but a3 a poet he was evi*
dcntly a failure, He never essayed to
try his pen in the sentimental style of
poesy, hut confined his songs to
those of a religious nature. He col*
iected together a number of hymns,
some of them, and all of any merit, the
standard old hymns which have been
sung from time immemorial. But there
were a largo number of original hymns
written by the good old brothers and
sifters. and particularly the sisters of
his flock, or rather flocks, for he preach
ed to many congregations. These ef*
fusions wero written at his solicitation.
He also wrote a number himself, and
put them all together in a hymn book,
which he failed “Mercer’s Cluster.”—
These hymns were sung in all the
51"? y house amongst the Baptists thro’
all this country. There are those who
do say that the old gentleman made a
handsome sunt by this publication. I®
certainly had a very extensive sale.—
Wo have seen the book, and it has pui
zled our mind to think how it was pos
sible for a musician to put the words in
to any kind of metre. The original
hymns are wonderful specimens, and
are striking evidehcos of the positive
absence of poetic grnius amongst tho
immediate ancestry of those of us who
are natives of this and adjacent coun
ties.
