==References == | <p> a Wesleyan Methodist: minister, was born in Devon, England, in 1789. He was accepted by the British Conference, and sent to [[Newfoundland]] in 1816. He endured persecutions and hardships, escaped perils oft, was appointed to Halifax,. N.S., in 1832, labored thenceforth principally in Nova, [[Scotia]] until his death at Sheffield, N.B., May 23, 1860. Apparently stern and unapproachable at first a kind heart and large sympathies dwelt in Knight's stalwart frame. Inflexible when right, humble, dignified, zealous, cantious, courageous, yet gentle; he was an excellent; preacher, well-read, and one of the ablest and most prominent ministers in the Maritime Provinces. Dr. Knight was a strong friend of temperance, and published an address on the subject. He also published a Lecture on the Genuineness and [[Authenticity]] of Revelations (St. John's, N.B., 1850). See Huestis, Memorials of Meth. Ministers in East Brit, America, page 56; Morgan, Bibl. Canadensis, page 214. </p> | ||
