26 JANUARY


On Friday last, at his house, in Clarence-terrace, Penzance, the Rev. H. Treffry, jun. Wesleyan minister, aged 33 years. He commenced his ministry in 1821, when scarcely 20 years of age, and for 7 years laboured with great acceptance and usefulness, and bode fair to become a shining light in the connextion to which he belonged; but the exertion which his zeal lead lead him to make in the cause to which he had consecrated himself and all the powers, were too much for a constitution which, at first, was not very strong; and after sustaining two or three attacks of illness, which greatly weakened him, in 1831 he ruptured a blood-vessel in the lungs, and in consequence entirely laid aside from the work of the ministry. From that time to his death, he was the subject of uninterrupted afflictions, which through grace he bore with patience and submission to the divine will. In July last, he preached an anniversary sermon, at the request of some friends, but this proved too much for his weakness, and from that time he sunk rapidly towards the grave. His nervous system being much shaken, and the remedies to which he was obliged to have recourse, having a tendency to produce great depression, his feelings, in consequence, were not sensibly joyous, yet his faith in the atonement of Christ, and his expectation of future happiness through the merits of that atonement, were never for a moment shaken. He remained perfectly connected to the last, and died in peace.
