Reuben Sears graduated Union College and was seteled over a church in Hudson
for several years, but his health failing, he removed to Ballston Spa, where he
wrote a poem, extollng the virtues of the mineral waters, which was published
in pamphlet form in 1819.
He was afterward settled in Dracut, MA and in New Scotland, Albany Co, NY and
died in Prophetsville, IL, 1846.
He was a Presbyterian clergyman, and one of the most conscientious and devoted
persons in existence. His whole life was made up of untiring effort for the
good of men.
He was one of the first to advocate total abstinence.
In one of his early sermons on teh evils of intemperance, he depicts the sad
condition from this cause existing among the clergy and elders, also the members
of the church, and tells them of the ruin and disgrace they are bringing upon
themselves and the church:-and here the very first ideaof the possibility of
total abstinence seems to have entered his mind, as he exclaims: "Brethren,
these things ought not to be; far better than such a state of things should
exist, would it be for all to even totally abstain from the use of all intox-
icating beverages."
As an anti-slavery man he was a "thorn in the flesh" of the Presbytery and
Synod to which he belonged, by his persistent introduction of resolutions
denouncing the institution of slavery as "wrong in principle and opposed
to true godliness."
He died in the firm conviction that God would order it otherwise in His own
good time.
