| Transciption: | THE LATE REV. G. BEALE A short address was given by the Rev. D. Harding, who stated that their deceased brother had for 48 years been in the ministry of their connexion, thirty-one of which were spent in active labour, and seventeen as a supernumerary. Though not a great preacher in the accepted term, he was an earnest, prodding, servant of Christ, and was made the honoured instrument of winning many souls for his Master. His goodness was his greatness, and many will be the crown of his rejoicing on the last day. The hymn “Give me the wings of faith to rise,” having been sung, an appropriate voluntary was played as the body was removed to the church for conveyance to the Cemetery, where it was laid in sure and certain resurrection to eternal life. Several of the congregation who were present also attended the last ceremony, though inclement weather prevented all doing so. |
