Elliott, Charles, D.D.,* an eminent scholar and minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, was born May 10, 1792, at Glenconway, County Donegal, Ire- land. His early education was obtained in the ordi- nary schools of the neighborhood, but he soon went beyond their range in private study. He was lirought to a religious life under the ministry of the Rev. E. Hazleton in 1811, and soon after turned his studies to- wards preparation for the ministry;'. He was licensed about 1813 as a local preacher, and taught school until 1810, when, with his widowed mother and her eight other children, he sailed for America. Settling in Western Pennsylvania, he devoted himself to farm labor and teaching school, preaching meanwhile al- most every Sunday. In 1818 he was received on trial into the Ohio Conference, and was appointed first to Zanesville Circuit ; then, in 1819, to Duck Creek Cir- cuit ; in 1820 he was ordained deacon, and appointed to Erie Circuit, and in 1821 to Mahoning Circuit ; dur- ing part of the next year he was missionary to the Wyandotte Indians. From 1823 to 1827 he was pre- siding elder of the Ohio district; 1827-31, professor of languages in Madison College, Pa. ; 18ol-2, pastor r.t Pittsburg ; 1833-6, editor of the Pittsburg Confennce Journal; 1836-48, editor of the Western Christian Ad- vocate. The next four j'ears were spent in the regular work of the ministry ; and from 1852 to 1856 he was again editor of the Western Christian Advocate. In 1857 he became professor, and in 1858 president of the Iowa Wcsleyan Universit}' ; and also edited the Cen- tral Christian Advocate, published at St. Louis from 1800 to 1864. He was nine times a delegate to the General Conference. After a long career of arduous and successful labor, he died at Mount Pleasant, Iowa, Jan. 3, 1869. " In every department of labor Dr. El- liott was an untiring worker ; work was his element. Naturallj' blessed with a vigorous constitution and a cheerful flow of spirits, he never felt labor a burden. In his busiest hours he was light of heart, and often playful as a child. Mere elegance was never his stud}', either as to mind or manners ; but, while the learned found in him a master and the child a com- panion, the most fastidious felt at home with him as a gentleman. To know him was to love him." His scholarship was not only varied, but accurate, and in knowledge of the history and theology of the Roman Catholic Church he was not exceeded by any theolo- gian of his time. The marvel is that, amid his inces- sant labors as preacher, editor, etc., he found time for so much study and authorship. His writings include An Essay on the Subjects and Ifodes of Baptism (1834, 12mo) ; — An Essay on theValue rfthe Said (I8r5, Timo) : — Indian Reminiscences, principally of the Wyandotte Nation (1835, lCnwo):—Delimution cf Reman CatlioUcism (N. Y. 1841, 2 vols. 8vo ; London, 1851, royal 8vo) :— Life of Bishop Rtberts (1844, 12mo) :— T/^e Sinfulness of Americnn Skmry (1850, 2 vols. 12nio): — The Great Secession (a historj' of the division of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1844 on account of slavery ; N. Y. 1852, royal 8vo) -.—The Bible and Slavery (1857, 12nio) : —South-vestern Methodism, a History of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Missouri from 1844 to 1804 (1868, 12mo). He also left ready for the press an elaborate work on Political Romanism, which, it is to le hoped, will be published. The Delineation of Roman Catholi- cism is unrivalled in English literature as a storehouse of facts and arguments ; it is drawn from original sources, and is worked out with great care and accu- racy. The English edition is provided with a cojiious 'mie.-s..— Sketch by tl»e Rev. L. M. Vernon ; Irish Evan- gelist, April, 1869.
