Bond ("i5N, esar', or ^l&K, issar', a moral oblgci- fithi .- Siopoe, a physical means of restraint) is used for an obligation of any kind in Numbers xxx, 2, 4, 12 [ sec Vow]; metaphorically, the word signifies oppres- sion, captivity, affliction (Psa. cxvi, 16; Phil, i, 7) See Captivity. The influences of the Holy Spirit arc called the bond of peace (Ephes. iv, 3). Charity or Christian love is called the bond of perfectness, be- cause i! completes the Christian character (Col. iii, 14). Bonds are also hands or chains worn by prisoners (Acts xx, 23; xxv, 1 1) hound or subjected to slavery (1 Cor. xii, 13; Rev. vi, 15). Sec Prison.
Bond, John Wesley, a Methodist Episcopal . was horn in Baltimore, Dec. 11, 17*4, enter- ed the Baltimore ('(inference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1810, and was appointed successively to Calvert, Fairfax, and Great Falls Circuits, after which he travelled as comp mion to the venerable Bishop As- burv until the death <.f the latter, h, 1816 b.3 was ap- pointed to Severn Circuit, and in 1817 to Harford. Here he contracted the fever of which he died, Jan. 22, 1819. Mr. Bond wis a man of clear understand- ing and sound judgment, and diligent in all the duties of his Christian and ministerial profession. — Minutes of Conferences, i, 324.
Bond, Thomas Emerson, M.D., distinguished as physician, editor, and preacher, was born in Balti- more in February, 1782. His parents removed to Buckingham county, Va., and his cariy education was received there and in Baltimore. After studying
medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, he re- turned to Baltimore to practise medicine, becoming M.D. of the University of Maryland. He rose rapid- ly to distinction in practice, and was called to a profes- sorship in the university, which, from a failure of his health, he never occupied. From his boyhood he had been a diligent student of the English classical writ- ers, and had modelled upon them a chaste, masculine, and nervous English style. He was also curious in theological questions, and brought to their study a mind of singular acuteness, disciplined to severity by his studies in physical science. At an early ae.e he joined the Methodist Episcopal Church in Harford county, Maryland ; and, while practising medicine in Baltimore, he was licensed as a local preacher. From 1816 to 1830 the Church was agitated by questions of reform in its government, and Dr. Bond took a very active part in the discussion. In 1827 he published an Appeal to the Methodists (8vo), in opposition to the proposed changes, and in 1828 a Narrative and Bi fence (8vo) of the course of the Church authorities. From 1830 to 1831 he edited the Itinerant, a newspaper pub- lished in Baltimore for the defence of the Church. In all these publications Dr. Bond showed himself a mas- ter of the subject, as well as of the art of controversy, and his writings contributed signally to the overthrow of the so-called Radical reformers. In 1840 he was chosen editor of the Christian Advornte end Journal, published in New York, the chief weekly organ of the Church. Here for twelve years he found his greatest field of activity, and achieved the greatest success of his life. In skill of editorial writing he has yet been surpassed, it is thought, by no person engaged on the public press in America. The Methodist Quarterly also contains several important contributions from his pen. He died in New York 14th March, 1856.
