Biugraphiral :5Iu:trIJ uf Bra. Dauih Gbrrgg. 19. B., llll. B. 8 8 3 HE FOLLOWING is taken from a biography of Rev. David Gregg, D. D., LL. D., which appeared in the April number of The P1147517 in the year 1897 : - It may be well said of Dr. Gregg, as it was spoken of Timothy: 'From a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures! He imbibed their knowledge with his mother's milk. To study the Scriptures is in his case a law of heredity, and that law has been followed cheerfully and faithfully all his life. The character of his parentage ensures his early training in the 2 i4 f way he should go, for there is no better stock for biblical trained children than that from B which Dr. Gregg is descended, that of the Scottish-Covenanters of 1683. Dr. Gregg is the son of David and Mary M. Gregg, and was born in Pittsburg, Pa., March 25, 18415. His father, until his death in 1892, was an elder in the Central Reformed Presbyterian Church of Allegheny City. ln tl1e principles of that Church his son was strictly educated 3 but his secular training was conducted in the public schools of Allegheny and Pittsburg. At the age of fifteen he entered VVash- ington and Jefferson College, graduating in 1865. A class mate has said that, ' Although David Gregg was tl1e youngest man in his class, yet he was by far the best orator. He took two honors during his college course, and bore them gracefully. He was the best known student in town, and no one was more popular in college and town than he.' Leaving Washington and Jefferson, he entered the Allegheny Theological Seminary. After coin- pleting l1is course there he went abroad for a year, traveling in England, Scotland and the Continent. He returned to America in 1871. Sdarcely was he landed when numerous calls were extended to this new and untriecl minister. But all were declined. However, a renewal of the call from the Third Reformed Presby- terian Church of Brooklyn induced him to accept this call. Shortly after being installed, the editorship of Our l2amzer, a monthly church magazine, was given him. He continued this editorship for thirteen years, during which time the circulation increased fourfold. 16...
