JANUARY, 1861. MEMOIR OF REV. HENRY EVERARD, OF SPALDING. REV. HENRY EVERARD was born April 8th, 1780, in the village of Fulbeck, on the cliff-row between Lincoln and Grantham. His parents were small farmers, made no profession of religion, were industrious, well-meaning people, and, in common with their neighbours, attended the Established church. When little more than three months old, Mr. Everard lost his father, who was killed by a fall from his horse. His mother, by the advice of her friends, removed with her children, the eldest a daughter scarcely three years old, to Horbling, near Donington, and afterwards to Postland, near Croyland. While at this last place, Henry was the sharer in the kind interposition of a very merciful Providence. He was sent by his mother on Christmas-eve, to Croyland, to purchase some 'shop goods' for the family. The pools and dykes were frozen, and Henry skated there. As he returned, night came on, and he lost his way. The ice broke and let him in. He called loudly for help, but no one at that bleak place ( Cowbit Wash') heard the voice of the sufferer. He crawled out of one hole in the ice only to sink in another. At last, nearly exhausted by effort and by fright, he providentially caught hold of the weeds and grass growing by the side of the bank, scrambled out, and with his clothes as VOL. II., NEW SERIES.

His mother and the rest of the family were lost in wonder and thankfulness to the God of mercy, who had thus preserved his life amidst such imminent danger. Soon after Mr. Everard became of age, he took a farm of eighty acres, at St. James's, five miles from Fleet. Being impressed through grace with the claims and value of eternal things, he asked one of his labourers if he knew any preacher in the neighbourhood who held the doctrine of universal redemption, through the death of Christ. O yes,' said the servant, Mr. Burgess, of Fleet.' It so happened that Mr. Everard's farm adjoined the one occupied by Mr. Benjamin Ewen, a good man, about his own age, and a member of the church over which Mr. Burgess was pastor. An intimacy arose between the young neighbours. They went together to the house of God, and by the way had much pious and profitable discourse. In the course of twelve months, Mr. Everard saw it his duty to join the church at Fleet, and was requested to give his religious experience to them by word of mouth. He and his wife, with some other friends, were soon after baptized. Only a short time elapsed before the church at Fleet, with the concurrence |
