I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched
out.
When the ear heard me, then it blessed me: and when the eye saw me, it
gave witness to me:
Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him
that had none to help him.
The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused
the widow's heart to sing for joy. Job xxix. 10, 11, 12, 13.
LIFE OF ISAAC T. HOPPER
Isaac Tatem Hopper was born in Deptford Township, near Woodbury, West
New-Jersey, in the year 1771, on the third day of December, which
Quakers call the Twelfth Month. His grandfather belonged to that
denomination of Christians, but forfeited membership in the Society by
choosing a wife from another sect. His son Levi, the father of Isaac,
always attended their meetings, but never became a member.
