Cooper, Peter (2)

an English Wesleyan minister, was born at St. Neots, Huntingdonshire, in 1804. He was converted when nineteen years of age, entered the ministry in 1830, retired from active work in 1864, and died at Blackheath, April 20, 1878. His insight into character and his broad common-sense gave him power in dealing with the problems of life. He was a plain, practical preacher; his style was quaint, sometimes epigrammatic; his piety was cheerful and lowly. See Minutes of the British Conference, 1878, page 38.
