Talk:David J. Brewer

...
The following was added by 70.248.124.117:

I am very sad that the original author of this article did not mention that Mr. Brwer was a devout Christian and served the One, True God. Brewer once said, "I Believe in Jesus Christ as the great Helper, Comforter and Saviour of humanity, and the Holy Bible as bearing to us the story of his mission, the rules of duty, the Revelation of Eternal Life, and also the conditions under which the attainment of that life are possible. No book contains more truths, or is worthy of confidance than the Bible; none brings more joy to the sorrwing, more strength to the week, or more stimulus to the nobly ambitious; none makes life sweeter, or death easier or less sad." I believe the same.

Your opinions are quite dandy but have no place in an encyclopedia article. If you have a citation for the quote above or some reference for Brewer's religious beliefs--arguably noted based on his published works--please add it. The comment posted above was appropriate for this talk page but not for the article text itself. Thehappysmith 18:28, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. The foregoing superstitious rant would be ridiculous on a page dedicated to a man of reason and deep thought. And until there is some documentary evidence of his opinions on mythology, I will not presume he was any more religious than Bill Maher. 76.113.64.124 (talk) 16:45, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Wesleyan College is female!
The article says Mr. Brewer attended Wesleyan College, which links to Wesleyan College, which according to our article is an all-female institution and always has been! J S Ayer (talk) 01:05, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Have redirected the link to Wesleyan University, on the basis of a mention of the Mystic 7. J S Ayer (talk) 01:43, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, you're right—I did link to Wesleyan University in the "early life" section, but I picked the wrong one in the lead. (The sources, e.g., actually do call the Connecticut school Wesleyan College, confusingly enough.) Thanks for taking care of it! Extraordinary Writ (talk) 03:02, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
