Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Excerpt from The Dew of Youth: And Other Lectures to Young Men and Young Women on Early Discipline and Culture
AN apology may be needed for republishing a series of lectures to the young, most of which were delivered twenty, years ago. But the new gen eration who have come upon the stage during this period inherit the same nature, and are ex posed to the same temptations, with those who have gone before them, and the plain and simple instruction embodied in this volume may be as well adapted to their condition as it was to the wants of those who were originally addressed.

Thomas March Clark was an American clergyman. He was a rector of Grace Church, Boston and served as a Bishop of Rhode Island from 1854 to 1903.
Background
Thomas March Clark was born on July 04, 1812 in Newburyport, Massachusetts, United States. He bore his father’s name, and was a descendant of Nathaniel Clark who settled in Newbury, now Newburyport, Massachusetts, sometime before 1670. Among his early recollections was that of seeing his father’s richly laden ships come in from distant lands. His mother, Rebecca, was a daughter of Abraham Wheelwright, who had been a Revolutionary soldier, a seafaring man, and later a partner in a profitable business with the West Indies. He was a descendant of John Wheelwright, banished with Anne Hutchinson from Massachusetts in 1637. Both Clarks and Wheelwrights were rigid Presbyterians, and Thomas was brought up under Calvinistic teachings, which came back to trouble him even in his later years.
Education
Thomas was educated in his home town, in an academy in Framingham, and in Phillips Andover. At the age of fourteen he was a freshman at Amherst. Here, he says, “I neglected my studies to such a degree during the first two terms as to render it disadvantageous for me to remain there. In 1828 he entered Yale, graduating in 1831. After a period of teaching, during which he was the first principal of the Lowell, Massachusetts, high school, he entered Princeton Theological Seminary, and in 1835 received, in his old home church, Presbyterian licensure to preach.
Career
Clark supplied the Old South Church, Boston, for a few months, but on February 3, 1836, was ordained deacon in the Episcopal Church, and priest the following November. This change was precipitated, he says, “by consciousness of my unfitness to express in extemporaneous prayer the sentiments of an intelligent congregation whose Christian experience had in a great many cases been matured before I was born”. He had outgrown Calvinism, however, and the ancient liturgy appealed to him strongly.
From 1836 to 1843 he was rector of Grace Church, Boston. Called to St. Andrews, Philadelphia, in 1843, he remained there till 1847, when he returned to Boston to become assistant at Trinity, thinking that Bishop Eastburn, then in charge, was about to relinquish the parish. After “four years of mossy quietude” and waiting, he accepted a call to Christ Church, Hartford. In 1854, greatly to his surprise, he was elected bishop of Rhode Island, and on December 6, was consecrated at Grace Church, Providence, of which he also acted as rector until 1866. For forty-nine years he filled the office of bishop, and from 1899 till his death, that of presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church in the United States. During his administration his diocese had peace and growth.
Clark also contributed the articles to the New York Ledger, for ten years. During the Civil War he was an active member of the Sanitary Commission, and an occasional consultant with President Lincoln. He was a representative of this country at the first Lambeth Conference in 1867, and in 1876 officiated in many of the American churches in Europe. Among his publications are a series of lectures to young men, Early Discipline and Culture (1855); and Primary Truths of Religion (1869), designed to meet Unsettled conditions of mind. Widely read once, it has little help for doubters of a later day. Worthy of mention, also, is John Whopper, a tale of the extraordinary adventures of a newsboy, published anonymously in 1871, and sometimes credited to Edward Everett Hale. It was republished in 1905 with an introduction by Bishop Henry C. Potter. In 1895 Clark published his Reminiscences, a book of much charm and value.
Achievements
Clark became one of the most popular preachers and lyceum lecturers of the country. He was among the first to discard the old-fashioned pulpit style.
(This book is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS series. The c...)
Religion
Clark was a member of the Episcopal Church. He was a Broad-Churchman and one of Bishop Brooks’s most intimate friends, but evangelical in his faith and preaching, and while condemning excesses of ritual, not intolerant toward the High Church party.
Views
Clark was an active supporter of the Union cause during the Civil War.
Personality
Clark was a massive, magnetic person, with a deep rich voice, and unfailing resourcefulness. His humor and wit were irrepressible, but always kindly. His simplicity, genuineness, sane judgment, broad sympathies, and irenic temper made him trusted and beloved by all classes.
Connections
On October 2, 1838, Clark married Caroline, daughter of Benjamin PIoward.
