Chamberlain, Levi

Chamberlain, Levi a lay missionary, was born at Dover, Vt., and for many years devoted himself successfully to business in Boston. He finally determined to relinquish secular life and devote himself to the work of aiding in the spread of the Gospel among the heathen, and for that purpose went to the Sandwich Islands and was appointed secular superintendent of the missions there. "His various toils were, incessant and most important, as he had judgment, caution, prudence, economy, and self-denial." After twenty years of service in the cause of his Master, he died at Honolulu, July 29, 1849. See Missionary Herald, Dec. 1849. (J. C. S.)
