In personal appearance D: Stuart resembled the other members of his family; he was about six feet four inches in height, and from this circumstance was known among his New-York friends as "the Jittle gentleman." His manners were gentle and conciliatory, and his character such as led him rather to win ' men by kindness and persuasion, than to awe and alarm them by the terrors of authority. His sermons, composed in plain and nervous language, were recommended by the affectionate manner of his delivery, and not unfrequently found a way to the consciences of those who had long been insensible to any real religious convictions.!. The honorable title of "Father of the Upper Canada Church" has been fitly bestowed on him; and he deserved the name not more by his age and the length of his services than by the kind and paternal advice and encouragement which he was ever ready to give those younger than he on their first entrance on the mission.
