TEMPLE, Daniel, missionary, born in Reading, Massachusetts, 23 December, 1789; died there, 9 August, 1851. He learned the shoemaker's trade, and labored at it in his native place till he had attained his majority, but afterward entered Dartmouth, was graduated there in 1817, and at Andover theological seminary in 1820. He was ordained as an evangelist in 1821, and went to Malta as a missionary in 1822, where he labored till his return to this country in September, 1828. He sailed again for Malta in 1880, and from 1833 till 1844 was stationed at Smyrna. After this he was an agent for the American board in this country, and in 1847 assumed a pastoral charge at Phelps, New York, which failing health obliged him to relinquish in 1849. He published many works in modern Greek, Italian, and Armenian, including several biographies of Bible characters, and edited a monthly magazine in Greek. See his "Life and Letters" by his son, the Reverend Daniel H. Temple, with an introduction by the Reverend Richard S. Storrs, D. D. (Boston, 1855).
