AND ITS SURROUNDINGS. 213 



The following information has been kindly furnished for 

 insertion : — 



" The Hazelwood Chapel Trust has been founded by James 

 Peek, Esq., to perpetuate the memory of his brother, the 

 late Richard Peek, Esq., of Hazelwood, by placing in trust 

 the sum of £11,000, which amount is to be supplemented 

 at some future time by other sums from other branches 

 of the Peek family. The objects of the Trust are — to 

 support an Evangelistic Agent at Hazelwood, whose duty 

 it is to conduct Divine worship in the chapel there on 

 the Sabbath, and in the immediate neighbourhood during 

 the evenings of the week, as opportunities offer; to super- 

 intend a Sunday School at Hazelwood, and to distribute 

 religious tracts, &c, in the neighbourhood around it; to 

 visit and minister to the sick poor in the same locality, 

 by supplying them with medical comforts and small gifts 

 in money, at the discretion of the visitor ; to support either 

 wholly or partially, by payments not exceeding thirty-two 

 shillings per month, eight incurable invalids, and to give 

 annuities of twelve pounds to each of four blind persons, 

 who, as well as the invalids, must be resident within six 

 miles of Hazelwood." 



The amount of good effected by the "Hazelwood Chapel 

 Trust," and also by the "Kingsbridge Invalid Trust," is 

 incalculable. Truly this whole neighbourhood has cause to 

 hold in high esteem the names and memories of these 

 benevolent gentlemen, who have done so much for the 

 temporal and spiritual necessities of their fellow men.
