Sermons by the Late Thomas Chalmers, D.D. LL. D, Illustrative of Different Stages in His Ministry: 1798-1847 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Sermons by the Late Thomas Chalmers, D.D. LL. D: Illustrative of Different Stages in His Ministry, 1798-1847
Dr. Chalmers was licensed as a preacher of the gospel by the Presbytery of St. Andrews on the 31st July 1799. In December 1801, he became assistant to the Rev. Mr. Elliot, minister of Cavers, a parish lying along the banks of the Teviot, a few miles from Hawick. As Mr. Elliot was laid aside by his infirmities, the pulpit duties devolved wholly upon his assistant, after a regular discharge of which for a period of about nine months, Dr. Chalmers left Cavers in September 1802. He was ordained as minister of the parish of Kilmany, in Fifeshire, on the 12th of May 1803; and twelve of the most important and most fruitful years of his life were spent in this peaceful retreat. In the autumn of 1815, he was removed to Glasgow, in which city eight years of incessant but triumphant toil were devoted to all the different kinds of ministerial labour. In November 1823, he finally resigned the pulpit for the professor's chair. He was twenty-three years of age at the date of his ordination, and forty-three when he gave up his charge - his ministry as an ordained clergyman covering thus the space of twenty years.
