OBITUARY. 'IN MEMORIAM , FREDERICK BENNETT'. "On the 1st inst the death, at Exmouth, of the Rev. Frederick Bennett brought to his rest one of whose vigour and wisdom had for many years been prominent in the Salisbury diocese. The son of Mr John Leach Bennett, of Merton, he was born in 1822, and spent the fifty years of his ministerial life in the same diocese. Although he as for almost the whole of that half century in one parish, he showed how such a continuity need imply neither stagnation in his pastoral charge, nor limitation of his views and energies. He took his degree at Wadham College, Oxford, in 1843, and was ordained two years later. His first curacy, Maddington, Wilts, was afterards his benefice, with which the Bishop joined later the adjoining parish of Shrewton. The two together form one large village, containing then more than a thousand people. He was a pioneer of Church work and principle, bringing with him from Oxford a zeal which the remote villages in the middle of Salisbury Plain had not experienced. Religion, intelligence, and morals were in a neglected state. Dissent was strong. There was an endowned Baptist chapel, as well as a Wesleyan meeting-house. There were no parochial schools, and the churches, were both in disrepair. He built, at his own expense, a chapel for Maddington, and by great exertions, restored and enlarged the church at Shrewton. He at once opened schools fof a temporary character, and afterwards erected handsome school buildings in the centre of the village. He started and always maintained, daily services and weekly Communion. He regularly took part in the religious instruction of the day schools, and also in the night schools, which he carried on during the winter months. His parochial visitation was most systematic. He kept a list of all the houses in the parish with ruled columns for the twelve months in the year, so that he might note how often in a month each was visited. Such details may seem to be commonplace now. But the Church of the present day does not know how much it owes to those who began some sixty years ago to work their parishes on such lines as these. Not a few parishes have been lifted up by having as their clergy those who had been his curates at Shrewton.

For twenty years he was an ideal organizing secretary for the S.P.G., and produced a great effect in the Archdeaconry of Wilts by his missionary zeal. In 1868, Bishop Hamilton gave him a prebendal stall in the cathedral, and two years later he was made a Rural Dean by Bishop Moberly. In this latter office he was most vigorous and successful, having great influence with is brethren.

When his health failed seriously ten years ago, he determined to give up his work; but the village in which he lived so long has still a touching consciousness that his impress upon it was permanent. He had a remarkable circle of friends, and in his new home at Exmouth, as well as in the diocese of Salisbury and many other places, the removal of this example of unpretentious but high principled energy leaves a sense of serious loss."
