I am wondering though whether it is a faux-Caribbean accent or a non-existent one. I am not familiar with all of the traditional English accents on the British Isles but couldn't this pass as one of them? It is likely that the Caribbean music is clouding judgement on the accent, but accents are not my strong point.

Godliness--godlikeness--is the goal to be reached. Before the student there is opened a path of continual progress. He has an object to achieve, a standard to attain, that includes everything good, and pure, and noble. He will advance as fast and as far as possible in every branch of true knowledge. But his efforts will be directed to objects as much higher than mere selfish and temporal interests as the heavens are higher than the earth. - E. G.
