Reminiscences of Chalmers, Simeon, Wilberforce, &c (Classic Reprint)Excerpt from Reminiscences of Chalmers, Simeon, Wilberforce, &C Countenance, but in general he is grave, - his thoughts grow to a great size before they are uttered Wilberforce sparkles with life and wit, and the characteristic of his mind is rapid productiveness. A man might be in Chalmers' company for an hour, especially in a party, without knowing who or what he was, - though in the end he would be sure to be detected by some unexpected display of powerful originality. Wilberforce, except when fairly asleep, is never latent: Chalmers knows how to veil himself in a decent cloud: Wilberforce is always in sunshine. Seldom, I believe, has any mind been more strung to a perpetual tune of love and praise. Yet these persons, distinguished as they are from the world at large, and from each other, present some admirable points of resemblance. Both of them are broad thinkers, and liberal feelers both of them are arrayed in humility, meekness, and charity: both appear to hold self in little reputation: above all, both love the Lord Jesus Christ, and reverently acknowledge him to be their only Saviour.
