Synopsis
Excerpt from Life of Elder Mark Fernald: Written by Himself
He firmly loved and labored for the Slave, and from the first was out-spoken against the fugitive Slave law, and has been a faithful advocate of the Christian's duty to obey God rather than man. Having for years been acquainted with the dangers of the sea, and the peculiar temptations Of the sailor upon the land, he has ever taken a deep interest in his welfare. He has ever supported the cause Of missions and benevolence in the spread Of the glorious gospel among the poor and destitute.
He died, as every Christian minister should die, with his armor girt about him, still willing to do service for God, preferring rather to work than to rest. He never aban doued the cause, Or turned his back in time Of danger and adversity. He was not double-minded, carried about by every wind of doctrine. And though dead, be yet speak eth; and his example and influence will be felt forever.
