of quiet, undemonstrative, but persistent energy. Loved and honored as few men are, Rev. Robert Everett peacefully departed, in the ripeness of years, and the consciousness of a life without reproach. * * * His active career presents many points on which we might enlarge. As a clergyman, the denomination to which he belonged has by common consent given him the first place in its councils; his advice has always been respectfully heard and generally followed. This has been very marked among his ministerial brethren; men almost as old as himself have looked up to him as a father, and their regard for him has been largely veneration for one who seemed to breathe a purer spiritual atmosphere than is given to other men. He seemed to fill his place naturally and as a matter of course, without effort and without strife. He was not eloquent, but rather diffident in the pulpit; though the inspiration of his theme, with which he was always in sympathy, made him a pleasing speaker, and sometimes kindled an enthusiasm more impressive than the most eloquent oratory. His judgment was keen and his convictions were strong; but in presenting the most abstruse subject, he was so largely sympathetic, that he was always very near to those he addressed. It is as a literary man that he has been most useful to his people at large, and it would be difficult to overestimate his services to humanity in this field. * Himself a chaste and forcible writer, his influence has been great in developing the literary tastes of the Welsh people; and the stern integrity and love of justice which he infused into the magazine (the Cenhadwr) have been of incalculable benefit to humanity.
