Details: The Rev. Robert Chapman, Incumbent of St. Marys, West Maitland, died on Sunday evening. We write these lines with very deep regret, which we are certain is shared by nearly every person in Maitland. Mr. Chapman had been the clergyman of St. Mary s for over thirty years about thirty-two years we think. As we are informed, he was ordained Deacon by the Bishop of Australia, at St. Andrews Church, Sydney, on Sept 20, 1846. And was appointed to St . Marys early in 1847. - Mr. Chapman succeeded here the Rev. W Stack a man so able, and so much beloved by his congregation, and by the public of Maitland generally, that it was a trying situation for Mr. Chapman then quite a young man, and a young minister. He soon however acquired the love and esteem of the parish and inhabitants; and after a time so constant was the inability of persons desiring to get seats in St. Marys then a much smaller church than the present one that a deliberate effort was made to divide the large parish, and to erect a church in the part cut off. Mr. Chapman took an active part in this movement; and the writer remembers that at a meeting for the purpose, held in St. Marys schoolroom, Mr. Chapman, speaking as chairman, strongly supported the scheme, but ex-pressed doubts whether the members of the Church of England would prove sufficiently numerous, and sufficiently desirous to attend church, to fill both churches. The present writer had just been advocating the building of a large church in St. Pauls, the new parish cut out of St. Mary s. After the division was made, Mr. Chapman was agreeably surprised to find that more seats were still wanted at St. Mary s than were obtainable although St. Paul s was well filled and after a few years the present large and costly St. Mary s Church was erected to supply what had become a pressing want. And from nearly the very first day of its being opened to the present day, there have always been more applicants for seats in St. Marys than could be supplied. Mr. Chapman was not only successful in this keeping together a large congregation for certainly twenty-five years his church always more than filled, so far as applicants for seats were concerned but he always had a considerable number of communicants; and he never failed to be ready to present to the Bishop for confirmation a large number of young persons. Mr. Chapman s special virtue however remains to be noticed. He was an admirable minister of the gospel at the bedside of the sick a most welcome visitant in the sickroom. And very constant and heavy at times was the demand thus made on him, always cheerfully met. In his visits to families, what is called parish visiting, Mr. Chapman was also very persevering, and very much esteemed. During the many disastrous floods of the Hunter, Mr. Chapman took part with all the other clergymen of the town, of all de-nominations, in organising and administering relief, and in the raising of public subscriptions for that purpose. He was active also, for years, as the head of St. Mary s Young Men s Society, which used to hold scriptural and argumentative meetings in St. Mary s schoolroom. Some of our best public speakers learnt to practise their art in public at those meetings. Gradually the meetings assumed very markedly the character of public debates, at which persons of all religions, being members, took part and if we are not mistaken this eventually led to divisions, and the ultimate failure of the society. Besides his labours in St. Mary s Parish, Mr. Chapman devoted a good deal of time to outstation churches. And at the Maitland Hospital he must have been a frequent visitor as a Christian minister, for the writer, years since, when a member of the committee, heard Mr. Chapman s name more frequently from the patients, as a visitor to their bedsides, than the name of any other minister. Mr. Chapman was one of those clergymen who could not fall in with the spirit of our Public Schools Act. To him it appeared that the daily reading of the Bible in school, the daily supervision and care of the one clergyman, in his parish school, was not only best, but that it was his duty as a parish clergyman to maintain this position. And it is remarkable that St. Marys school has been for many years, and to the time of Mr. Chapman s lamented death, not only one of the very largest of Maitland schools, but one at which many persons now amongst us have received a sound education. For some few years past Mr. Chapman s strength had been failing. Besides being a devoted servant to his Heavenly Master, he was a man who felt acutely the loss of human friendship, as to persons whom he esteemed, poor or rich. And a succession of unhappy events, not brought on by himself, caused him very much pain and sorrow, not only directly but through others in the way we have hinted. Humanly speaking, the last of these events seems to have brought him suddenly to his grave. But beyond doubt that is not correct. Doubtless the "time appointed" was closely approaching, and God was preparing his old servant by trials and sorrows for more entire reliance on him alone, and thus for more assured eternal blessedness. He has gone to his rest, at the age of nearly sixty-five years. It may be well to add that the funeral is fixed for ten o clock this (Tuesday) morning.
