Mrs.Sime writes; "I never knew any one who gave me more the idea of power over other men, such power as our Saviour showed while on earth, the power of love and purity combined."] In the Autobiography of Mrs.Gilbert, an eminent member of the family of the Taylors of Ongar, there occur some reminiscenses of Livingstone, corresponding to those here given by Mr.Moore[14].
[Footnote 14: Page 886, third edition.] The Rev.Isaac Taylor, LL.D., now rector of Settringham, York, son of the celebrated author of _The Natural History of Enthusiasm_, and himself author of _Words and Places, Etruscan Researches_, etc., has kindly furnished us with the following recollection: "I well remember as a boy taking country rambles with Livingstone when he was studying at Ongar.

Mr.Cecil had several missionary students, but Livingstone was the only one whose personality made any impression on my boyish imagination.

I might sum up my impression of him in two words--simplicity and resolution.

Now, after nearly forty years, I remember his step, the characteristic forward tread, firm, simple, resolute, neither fast nor slow, no hurry and no dawdle, but which evidently meant--getting there[15]." [Footnote 15: On one occasion, in conversation with his former pastor, the Rev.John Moir, Livingstone spoke of Mr.Isaac Taylor, who had shown him much kindness, and often invited him to dine in his house.

He said that though Mr.Taylor was connected with the Independents, he was attached to the principles of the Church of England.
