HOW, WILLIAM WALSHAM (18231897) , English divine, son of a Shrewsbury solicitor, was born on the 13th of December 1823, and was educated at Shrewsbury school and Wadham College,
Oxford
 . He was ordained in 1846, and for upwards of thirty years was actively engaged in parish
work
  at Whittington in Shropshire and
Oswestry
  (rural dean, r86o). He refused preferment on several occasions, but his energy and success made him well known, and in 1879 he became a suffragan
bishop
  in London, under the title of
bishop
  of
Bedford
 , his province being the
East
  End. There he became the inspiring influence of a revival of church
work
 . He founded the
East
  London Church Fund, and enlisted a large band of enthusiastic helpers, his popularity among all classes being immense. He was particularly fond of children, and was commonly called " the children's bishop." In 1888 he was made bishop of Wakefield, and in the north of England he continued to do valuable work. His sermons were straightforward,
earnest
  and attractive; and besides publishing several volumes of these, he wrote a good deal of verse, including such well-known hymns as " Who is this so weak and helpless," " Lord, Thy children guide and keep." In 18631868 he brought out a Commentary on the Four Gospels; and he also wrote a
Manual
  for the Holy Communion. In the
movement
  for infusing new spiritual life into the church services, especially among the poor, How was a
great
  force. He died on the roth of August 1897. He was much helped in his earlier work by his wife. Frances A. Douglas (d. 1887).
See his Life by his son, F. D. How (1898).
