The Late Rev. F. V. Bussell.
sad and pathetic * . His last sermons in his own church wtre delivered on the Sunday following the lamented death of the Duke of Claronoe stud Avoudalo . In the morning hia address had special reference to tho illustrious Duke , and were from the words , " Oar days on etrth are as a shadow . " In the evening , by a curious coincidence , he oreaohod . for the last time"from the almost prophetic words , " I will
lay me down in peace and take my rest , for it is thou , Lord , only which makest me dwell in safsty " ( Psalm ir . 8 ) . Those who heard the sermon say it was one of intense and convincing earnestness , and the part was especially notable where he dwelt on the happiness of the Chrigtiin , who , when lying on a bed of sickness , feeling his strength failing him day by day , could take this blessed verse to
heart and say , "I will lay me down and take my rest . If my poor decaying body he laid iu the grav ^ , uiy soul will take its rest in the paradise of God . " A few days after the service he was smitten with influenza , nnd for Five weeks has been battling with the pneumonia which supervened , " feeling his strength failing him day by day , " until on Sunday night he " lay down " calmly and peacefully to " to tako
his rest in the paradise of God . Bro . Bussell was educated at Newark Grammar Sohool , and at Corpus Cbristi College , Oxford , where he oame out in second class in Moderations in 1866 . He received his degree in 1868 , and the year following entered upon a ouraoy at Padiham , in Lancashire , which he retained for two years . He received his M . A . degree ia
1871 , and removed to Worksop , where for seven years he laboured as senior ourate of the Priory Choroh . At Worksop he iron " honour , love , obedience , troops of friends , " aud ou leaving to accept the living at Balderton , near his native town , he was the recipient of many gifts from the parish and friends in token of the esteem in which he was held . At Balderton he was not long in making the
impress of his vigorous hand , warm heart and eloquent tongue felt in the village . His first movement was the restoration of the church , with its beantifal Norman doorways , the admiration of all architects and antiquarians who ceo them . This he succeeded ia carrying out with reverent care , raising for the purpose the sum of £ 3090 by subscriptions , and by the aid also of a bazaar at Newark
Town Hall . Having put the saored edifice in order and repair ( the reopening taking place in 1883 ) he turned his attention to the enlargement of the churchyard , and with the aid of his friends aud a small grant from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners , he seoured addition *! ground , whioh waa levelled , turfed , and walled in , and will answer the requirements of the parish for many years to come . Much
more might be said of his earnest and devoted work as a parish priest . But there was another department of pnblio life into whioh he rose to still higher promiuence in the eyes of a large and influential section of the community . Twenty years ago he was initiated a Freemason , and loving its tenets and its charitablo work he made a apeoial study of the constitution , ceremonies , and principles of the
Order . He became Master of the Pelham Lodge , Worksop , iu 1876 , and in sncceding years held high office in every branch of Masonic effort . In the Mark degree he rose to be one of the Chaplains of the Grand Lodge of England . In the Royal Arch he was Z . of Alexander Chapter in 1881 , and in tho Rose Croix Prelate of Magnns Chapter , No . 109 . In tho Craft he was made Deputy Provincial Grand Master
of Notts in 1889 , and Chairman of the General Purposes Committee . His services were in constant request at installations , and Masonic gatherings of every kind , and there are few men who have ever attained such proficiency in their knowledge of the ceremonies of this ancient Order . A fitting recognition of his remarkable ability and zeal was made in the Jubilee year , when he was elevated by tbe
Grand Master H . R . H . tbe Prince of Wales to the dignity of Past Grand Chaplain of England . His brethren in the Province were delig hted at his appointment , and showed their appreciation of it by presenting him with his regalia . As may be imagined , the new * of Bro . Bnssell ' s death has caused great grief to the Masonic community as well as to his parishioner ? ,
neighbours , and friends in the Newark district and elsewhere . A Lodge of Emergency of tbe Newton Lodge was held at the Savings Bank , Newark ( Bro . G . Atter W . M . ) , at whioh there was a crowded attendance , brethren being present from all parts of the Provinco , and bringing vvith them several magnificent wreathf . Au imposing prooessioii left the Savinga Bank at one o'clook and walked
the two miles to Balderton , where a large concourse of people assembled . There was a most impressive scene , the sun shining through and dispelling the fog about an hour before the faneral . The oration was delivered by Bro . H . Georgo P . M . P . P . G . D . of C , who spoke as follows : —Brethren , we stand here at the grave of him who , but a few days ago , was our V . W . D . P . G . M . Many and varied
emotions stir the hearts of this vast assemblage , but all join together as ono man in pay ing their last sad tribute to the memory of our dear brofhor , whose mortal remains have juit baen deposited in thtir last earthly restine-place . In thus , as it were , bidding him farewell it will not be unfitting here briefly to pass in review his earthly career cut short in what to our finite minds seema its most
useful and « ucc « 8 sful period . Our friend and brother waa born quite near , At Newark Vicarage ; eldest son of his father , the Itav . John Garrett Bussell , who was for nearly 40 years vicar of Newark , and whose memory is still green and cherished by all who knew him . We may , therefore , say—A worthy son of a worthy sire . In few words 1 inav remind you that our brother was educated at Newark
Grammar Sohool and Christ ' s Church , Oxford , ordained deacon and priest by the Bishop of Manohestor , licensed to the curacy of f' & dibsm iu 18 G 0 , * nd in 187 L to the curacy of the Priory Church , Worktop . While at Worksop two important events occurred . Ho married tho lady who ia now his sorrowing widow , and with whom no all this day so sincerely , doeply and sorrowfully sympathise , and
