AN APPEAL FOR A POOR CURATE NEARLY

BLIND

OME friends of the Itev:.l."-NV. Gowring, in considers-
tion of his very afflicted case having, without his know-
ledge, begun a private subscription in his behalf, it has been
determined to bring it before the Christian public, in the
hope that something will be done towards the support of a
very able minister of the Church of England, whose eyesight
has completely failed him for most of the duties of his office.
For," although he is just able to see his way in walking, he
cannot discern the largest print, nor indeed any object what-
ever distinctly ; and it is the opinion of his medical advisers,
that the case may even end in total blindness.
As his mental and bodily powers remain unimpaired, and
as his knowledge of Scripture is considered very extraordi-
nary by every one who hears him, it is possible that, by and
by, he may meet with some occupation in the Church—as a
lectureship, where the reading of the Church Service would
not be required of him ; and for this kind of duty he would
be admirably adapted by his gift of extempore preaching.
He was compelled to resign his Curacy, where he was fa-
voured by many privileges, and surrounded by almost every
comfort for four years. He has sought the most eminent
advice in the kingdom, and still his sight is becoming gradu-
ally worse, so that he felt it right no longer to remain in a
situation where an assistant curate has been maintained for
some time, for the sole purpose of affording him every possi.
ble means of recovery.
He is left without the least means of support, except £7
a-year, arising from sums invested in the Savings' Bank, and
except such as may be afforded him by friends. Relations
he has none to rely upon, and the little property which he
was expecting through his wife will probably be lost to his
family by the conduct of an attorney. He closes a statement
of his case to the Bishop of Ripon in these words :
" I am in my thirty-first year, and have a wife and one
child three years old ; and unless the Lord in his good Pro-
vidence should see fit to provide something for our support,
I know not what is to become of us, as we have not a single
relation who is at all able to assist us, and the stipend arising
from my present curacy will cease in about a fortnight.
" The prospect before me is but a melancholy one as to
temporal concerns, and yet I feel persuaded that my present
affliction is sent by the Lord for some wise but mysterious
purpose. In the midst of all my trials my mind is not par-
ticularly disturbed, as I firmly depend upon the word of
Jehovah, ' Trust in the Lord, and do good; so that thou
shalt dwell in the land, And verily thou shalt be fed.' "

My political opinions are well known to most of vou to he
strictly Conservative; and on these opinions my 'Votes, if
elected to the Council, will'be based, however much I may

If honoured with your confidence, it will be my desire to

my judgment and ability, for the benefit of the Town in ge-

Your faithful Servant,

GENTLE

nd and Hatt

ing invitation I have received
Lily respectable body of Electors
again as a CANDIDATE for

_ -
the representation of your interests in the Town Council,
demands from me the expression of my grateful thanks ' • and
as the period approaches when I must resign into your hands
the trust you so liberally reposed in me three years ago, 1
cannot longer delay avowing more formally my readiness and
my intention to accede to the wishes of my friends, and to

solicit once more a renewal of your confidence and support

Having now resided for a considerable period in
crombie Ward, and during that time become personally ac-
quainted with many of you, it would be superfluous in me to
enter into any detail of the opinions I entertain, knowing
that, from past experience, they must be familiar to you ; I
have, generally speaking, opposed the measures of the
hitherto predominant party in the Council, because I believed
them to be wrong; calculated, probably, to gratify the feel-
ings of some, but in no way tending, as l conceive, to ad-
vance the real and permanent welfare of the community.
Nor is it easy to reconcile the inconsistency of that Party,

•
who,- whilst they pretend to lament over the angry expres-
sions so frequently made use of in the Counceßoom, are
still willing to approve the conducX of those Representatives
who add fuel to the flame by the introduction of topics for
discussion, purely of a Political character ; and which, in my
judgment, have no connexion whatever with the duties of a
Town Councillor, thus increasing the very evil they are so
loud in condemning ; I therefore refrain from offering any
opinion on subjects of political interest, believing that my
duty, should I be returned as your Representative to the
Council, will be to beware of incurring the reproof given by
Lord Stanley, at Lancaster, to the Manchester Manufactu-
rer, when be said, "Don't you think, Mr. Brookes, that it
would be better if every body attended to their own busi-
ness ?" It has been the practice with some of those whose
best security has been in the majority they could command
in the Council-room, to taunt the party with whom, on most
occasions, I have the pleasure to act, with liberality—with
tings of hostility towards others—and with being unfriendly
