Excerpt from James Tift Champlin: A Memorial
Two thoughts (2 Tim iv. 7) were present with the Apostle Paul as he came to the close of his long and eventful career; first, that his had been a well-spent life, and second, that throughout his Christian course he had never relinquished his personal faith in Christ. All along the ages, from the time of the apostle, there have been others, disciples of the same Master, who could say, "I have completed the glorious contest, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith." They are the men who with an untiring energy have labored as did Paul for the higher interests of mankind; and who like him, in all their Christian way, have proved faithful to their divine Savior and Lord. Of such was James Tift Champlin.
He was a son of John and Martha (Armstrong) Champlin, and was born in Colchester, Connecticut, June 9, 1811. Soon after his birth his parents removed to Lebanon, in the same state, where he spent his boyhood and youth on his father"s farm. When about fourteen years of age he united with the Baptist church in Lebanon.
