Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Congregational Quarterly, 1872, Vol. 14 After he became a resident of Norwich, Mr. Williams at tended the Second Congregational Church, and became greatly interested in the preaching of its pastor, Rev. Alfred Mitchell. In July, 1820, he made a public profession of religion, uniting himself with the church. No extended record remains of his religious experience and though he came into the church during a time of unusual religious interest, and when large additions were made to it, yet it was, so far as I can learn, without being the subject of any sudden or striking change. It was rather a quiet, gradual work, which had brought him to this great step. With that constitutional cautiousness which made him appear to others at times to be too deliberate or slow, he waited some months after he entertained the hope that he was a Christian before he connected himself with the church. His wife joined the year before him, while he held ofi, making full trial of his feel ings, and of his desire to become an avowed disciple of Christ, before he ventured to enter into public covenant with the Lord and his people. His own experience, i imagine, conduced to this; for, as was rather to be expected, the gracious change wrought in him was gradual, though deep. He waited till he was satisfied that it was God's spirit that was leading him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
