George Nixon.\u2014\u2018\u2018 Governor\u201d Briggs, for by this title he was best known, was born in Adams, Mass., April 12, 1796. His father was a man of generous impulses and patriotic spirit. In the war of. the Revolution he fought with Stark and Allen, and rejoiced in the victories of the American army. He removed to Man- chester, Vt., when George was seven years of age, and then to White Creek, Washington Co., N. Y. For five years he devoted himself to the study of law, and at the age of twenty-one was adinitted to the bar. One or two cases which he carried suc- cessfully through the courts won for him a repu- tation, and led to his being chosen to fill several important posts of honor and responsibility. In 1830 he was chosen to represent his section of the State of Massachusetts in the House of Representatives at Washington. In this relation he was always the consistent Christian, the warm advocate of temperance, as well as the accomplished statesman. For twelve years he served his district in the councils of the nation, leaving behind him a name in Congress of unsullied honor. In 1848 his fellow-citizens, appreciating the ex- cellencies of his character, elected him governor of the State. \u2018\u2018 He was a candidate,\u201d says his son, \u201cwithout caucus or convention or nomination, save by the voice of the people.\u201d\u201d When he was chosen representative to Congress, so warm a place did he come to have in the hearts of the people while he filled the office of governor, that he justified the course pursued by his constituents in sending him to Washington and keeping him there so many years. For nine years he held the office of gov- ernor, and administered the affairs of the State in a way which secured him.the respect and affection of his fellow-citizens. Having retired from his office, he was appointed one of the judges of the Court of Common Pleas, until some change was made in the courts, when his services were no longer in demand. During this long period of civil service Gov. Briggs re- ceived some of the highest honors that his own denomination could confer on him. He was pres- ident of the Missionary Union, and those who witnessed the dignity and urbanity and tact with which he presided over its annual meetings, will not be unwilling to concede that he was a model presiding officer. He was also president of the American Tract Society at Boston, and the Amer- ican Temperance Union. Positions of honor and trust were offered him, which he declined, among these was that of chancellor of Madison Univer- sity. The death of Gov. Briggs was caused by a seri- ous accident. His last words were, \u2018I am at the lowest point of animal existence. I don\u2019t see. God and Christ are my all. I love you. Do what you think best. Leave all to God, God, God.\u201d _ He died Sept. 12, 1861. No warmer or more sincere eulogies were ever passed on the characters of any of Massachusetts\u2019 distinguished statesmen\u2014and no State can boast of a larger or more honored number\u2014than were passed on Gov. Briggs. He was firm and un- wayering in his religious convictions, and true to the principles of the denomination with which he connected himself when he was but twelve years of age. It was understood that he was a consci- entious Baptist, and that did not make him the less a conscientious Christian. But the warmth of his attachment to his own church in his Pittsfield home it is not easy to measure. Its public and its private worship were exceedingly dear to him. Very touching were the questions which his pastor, Dr. Porter, asked at his funeral: \u2018Can it be, dear brethren, that he will walk these aisles no more? Can it be that his noble form, and mild blue eye, and -benevolent face will not be seen again in the sanctuary ?\u201d We, as Baptists, count it a great honor that we can point to the name of the pure-minded gov- ernor of Massachusetts, upon whose fair reputation no stain rests, and whose moral integrity was never challenged by even the most violent partisan ani- mosity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-lga3-2.xx.fbcdn.net\/v\/t39.30808-6\/339340346_472247888372236_4224357606550516459_n.jpg?_nc_cat=111&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=5cd70e&amp;_nc_ohc=weLxPiCVihMAX8U4eHU&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-2.xx&amp;oh=00_AfAXhidtKzuYkY5C_wCu8X3RcgmlH4CJq8KO2p47VTb1ng&amp;oe=64362059\" alt=\"No photo description available.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-lga3-2.xx.fbcdn.net\/v\/t39.30808-6\/339786906_244294721294053_8479238826556266370_n.jpg?_nc_cat=100&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=5cd70e&amp;_nc_ohc=ioW8O7mT8t8AX_wNUfg&amp;_nc_oc=AQkfiiSuxh7GM3wlUwHe1-V3VM4FWFJgqBJSBXJ4h7azNztu5GQLZmvJOfrHS_d6jElSo70iiGr3p2ItKLR_Pj4j&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-2.xx&amp;oh=00_AfAJeUFUqO4WZSfw_NfnWAYwfXxIcx9f_2XVGVtfyMXNkg&amp;oe=6435E08A\" alt=\"May be an image of 1 person\"\/><figcaption>  <br> <br><br>   <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baptist Church History &#8211; (10) Facebook Admin\u00a0\u00a0\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00b7\u00a0Daily Baptist Encyclopedia Post by Jim CurranO for politicians like this today!Briggs, Hon.
