and alluded to varioue personal matters relating to the
' old folks 01 the parish, '%!r. foyer said it win a long
time to look back to the day when he heard his good
friend for the fint time in the pari•h church at
Stafford. It was on the Mat January. 146, that he,
what was technically called, "read himself in,- and
from that day to thin he could say, without fear .if
contradiction, that his great aim and endeavour had
been first te seek the gler-y of Him who had placid
him there amongst them, and secondly to advance
the welfare, both eternal and temporal, of every
single individual who had come under his charge.
(ApPlaises.) Be had been with them in their joys '
and sorrows, in the hours of sicking., and at the
approach of death, and hr might say, without fear of
contradiction, that in all the verifies steps of their
life he had shown ever a deep interest in all that
befel them. If, had shared their sorrows as well as
their joys ; the first to ostwratillate them if there had
had been any source of happiness happen so them,
and to condole with them in tome' of affliction.

first of all spoke of ins whom he could hardly venture
Ilie rater to, who in God'• good time had been taken
away from them ; but they had still left many for
whom they felt a deep affection, and who were doing
Amour to the house and family of which they were a ,
part. (Cheers.) If e briefly tnuched im the distinguished
carter of the Rector's oldest son, Mr. Bosworth Smith,
who, by his able writing. was able to exert an indurate
and power in this country, and he MIA confident that
his ability had been, and would always be, e voted for
the real ginsi of our land. (Applause.) Major
Smith and other members of the family having been
alluded to, Nlr. Floyer continued He had known
his gond friend the Rector ever since he wa. a boy.
He ',membered his coining to Wincheseer school n

there many years together; they pauel to Oat .rd,
awl were there in the same college; thee afterwards
studied in their various professions, he (wing in the
• law, and his good friend Canon Smith in another
profession in London. It was not many years before
this living became vacant, and he had the great
plesaiire if presenting him to it., and it had been not
the mere pleaaiire of • moment, but it nail been the
satisfaction of hi• life that he was the means, -.ander
Ceod's providence, of bringing his honoured friend to
WV. and minister to thous. (Applause.) Ile wa. in

would the parish be if some power greater than theirs

Stafford he the sarr.e 1 The centre pin which made a
parish of it would be gone. And so with his good
friend ; if he were taken from them they would stiffer

plause.) He knew how they all valued him; they had
shown it by the spontatieoue and cordial manner in
which they had come forward to testily to their
feeling towards hini by combining to make that

Mr. Floyer then isucovered the gift, which took the

it woul I simply be • matter of time. If Mr. Eng-
land's life were insured it would make it a !natter of
