Coming as he did, al most at the beginning, of Bellingham as an estate, he has grown up with it perhaps during its most important stage, and in his own quiet way has. contributed something personally, and through the medium of the church he has no ably led, to the communal life of Bellingham which probably never will be effaced. He has made strangers to know one an other: he has helped many a lame dog over a stylo: he has cheered many an aching heart: he has put many a youngster in the right road, and held out hand to many a 'bottom dog Always cheerful, a fine friend, a fair opponent on the battlefield of debate, he goes on to take up a new work where the quali ties which Bellingham: has.
