He was born on March 19th, 1813 at Blantyer, Lankshire. He was raised in a religious but poverty stricken home in scotland. When he turned nine years old, he memorized Psalm 119 and won a prize which was a copy of the New Testament. He worked very long hours averaging about 14 hour days at a cotton-spinning factory when he was only 10 years old. That is where he spent 10 years then started studying medicine and theology. After he worked for 14 hours he would come home and study till his mother blew out his candle. He studied long and hard at which it finally paid off when he went to college at Glasgow University.
