  DEATH OF THE REV. GEORGE CRUICKSHANK MAITLAND, M.A.
  The Sunderland Herald of Friday last records the death of the rev. gentleman, (who was the son-in-law of the late Sampson Payne, Esq., of Southampton) in the following terms :- "The youthful and well-beloved pastor of Ebenezer Chapel, after struggling for ten days with an attack of smallpox, has passed away from the scene of his activities and well-won a valiant soldier of the Cross. Our impression of this day fortnight contained an account of the proceedings at the anniversary services at the chapel, in which Mr. Maitland took part; to-day, our obituary records his death at the age of thirty years. Few men occupying a prominent position in this part of the country have risen so rapidly in public estimation as Mr. Maitland. Only eight years have elapsed since, as the successor of the Rev. R. W. M'All, he entered on his ministry in this town, yet in that comparatively brief space of time he had become the recognised leader of the Dissenters, for whose distinctive principles was always ready to do battle. And whatever opinion might have been entertained respecting the views which he propounded in polemical conflicts, no well-informed men could fail to perceive that, as a controversialist, Mr. Maitland's abilities were of a high order. The drill which he underwent in the Logic Class while attending college in his native town of Aberdeen was turned to good account in the warfare of the press and the platform. And, in making this allusion to his university training, it may be well to correct a misstatement which has gone abroad, that Mr. Maitland graduated as a medical student; which was not the case. Great as was the confidence placed in his intellectual prowess, and generally acceptable as were his pulpit ministrations, it is in the homes of his people where his memory will keep longest green. A more indefatigable visitor could hardly exist, and it was only a man in the bloom of youth and in possession of robust health who could have gone through the toils which he regularly and systemically imposed on himself. Mr. Maitland's was essentially a large heart; and he could he identify himself most thoroughly with the anxieties that beset the households where his presence was always welcome. The motherhood of his congregation will cherish the fondest recollections of his tender-hearted interest in the well-being of their little ones; and it is melancholy to think that it was while engaged in this department of his labours that he caught the disease which has carried him off. In private, Mr. Maitland showed many manly qualities which gained him enduring friendships, particularly amongst the young of his own sex. He could, of a truth, become all things to all men, not by coming down from the performance of his Master's work, or by derogating from the dignity of an office which he magnified to its fullest extent, but by winning the heart he found a readier road to the intellect which he sought to win over to clear and correct apprehensions of the truth as viewed from his own stand-point. He was passionately fond of music, of which he had a critical and thoroughly scientific knowledge; and at the very commencement of his ministry he threw himself into the movement which we ourselves laboured hard to intimate in behalf of psalmody improvement. Mr. Maitland preached a sermon on the subject, extracts from which were published in the Herald, and he followed up his pulpit appeals by organising a series of lectures which were successful in the highest degree. In almost every sphere of usefulness open to a minister of the gospel he bore a part, and in all his relationships, both to his own congregation and to his fellow-townsmen generally, he encountered but very few of those alternate ebbs and flows from which the tide of human affection is never altogether free. He was esteemed for his works' sake, and throughout the whole of his too short career his enthusiasm never flagged. It was the good fortune of the writer of these lines to be on terms of cordial intimacy with the deceased – an intimacy which none of the incidents attending recent local controversies ever imperilled – and he can bear ample testimony to the hard and continuous labour from which Mr. Maitland never flinched. Only a single evening in the week was at his entire disposal, and so far as the care of her own family would permit, his able partner in life – she who is now left in the loneliness of new-made widowhood, with four orphans round her desolate hearth – was not behind him in the discharge of those duties which so well became one in her position. A few months ago the congregation testified their grateful appreciation of the zealous services of their pastor by voting a substantial addition to his stipend. By an inscrutable decree of the great overruling Power he has not been spared to enjoy the riper fruit of eight years' devotion to duty, and the church which has prospered so signally under his spiritual oversight is once more left pastorless. The end of such dispensations is hard to trace; "but it shall come to pass that at evening-time it shall be light."
  The funeral took place yesterday, at Sunderland Cemetery. At half-past one o'clock the hearse, with the mourning coaches and numerous cabs were drawn up beside the chapel, which was crowded, many persons being unable to gain admittance. The service was conducted by several Congregational ministers. The Rev. W. Parkes read a portion of Scripture, and then called upon the Rev. R.W. McAll, who offered up a prayer. An address was afterwards delivered by the Rev. J.C. Geikie. The service was of an unaffecting character, and great emotion was manifested by the congregation. At the conclusion of the service in the chapel the funeral procession proceeded towards the cemetery, the carriages, cabs, and a line of people who followed being so numerous as to extend about a quarter of a mile in length. At the grave an address was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Reid, of Newcastle, and the melancholy proceedings were concluded with prayer by the Rev. Mr. Stewart, of the same town.
