      cst ( disagreement with any one unless provoked by officious interference . When I \ Ir . Buinet left Yarmouth , LowestofT and Filhy were no longer supplied as heretofore , and Mr . Beynon was again sole minister . Same years since the congregation thinking the whole duty rather too much for Mr . Beynon , ( though not suggested by himself , ) proposed ! engaging the late Rev . H . R . Bowles ,, them residing

      in Yarmouth , to assist him ; this gentleman being engaged to preach also at Filby , during the summer months . Since the death of this most worthy man , which happened on the first day of the present year , Mr . B . had been assisted by the Rev . H . M . Bowles , to whose praise it must be recorded that he has ever paid the greatest attention and respect to his venerable friend .

      Mr . Beynon , as a Christian minister , was truly pious and devout , his preaching fervent and instructive ., and his voice and manner calculated to fix the attention of his hearerso In every relation of life he set an example highly worthy of imitation both to his family and his congregation . He was prudent and economical , yet . truly benevolent , as far as his limited finances would permit , nor was Jhe ever inattentive to the wants and

      sorrows of his fellow-creatures . His mind was free fro in the slightest taint of bigotry , and he was ever the friend of civil and religious liberty . As a husband and father his conduct is above all praise , while to his children he has left the best

      of all legacies , that of their father ' s universal good name . His memory will be long revered by all who knew him well , and none but those who did so can full y estimate ( his truly good and upright man ' , ius he " sought not the things which are < yf men , but the things that are of God .

Firmness and energy were blended , \ n an unusual degree , with kindness and courtesy , iu the character of the individual whose premature removal we have the melancholy task of recording . The energy of his mind was

      reniarkahly displayed in the application with which , under the pressure of bodily indisposition , he continued , during the course of several years , to discharge ,, with signal ahility , the duties of his jvrofession ; and this exertion appeared to find its appropriate reward , not only im the pleasure and interest , and in the beguiling relief from the tedium aud languor of indisposition , which , aim us ft to the last , it evidently afforded him ; but im what , to his mind , would he a still higher gratification , ihe frequent opportunities wDiich were thus presented , ot
