PUNSHON, WILLIAM MORLEY (1824-1881) ,
English
  Non-conformist divine, was born at
Doncaster
 ,
Yorkshire
 , on the 29th of May 1824. He was educated in his native town, and, after spending a few years in business, at the Wesleyan College, Richmond. In 1845 he received his first
appointment
 , at Marden,
Kent
 , and soon became famous as a preacher. After serving the usual period of probation he was ordained at
Manchester
  in 1849 and for the next nineteen years travelled in several circuits, including some of the London ones (1858-1864). In 1868 he went to Chicago as the representative of the Wesleyan Methodist conference, and settling in Canada did much to advance the cause of his denomination. His preaching and lecturing drew
great
  crowds both in the Dominion and in the United States, and he was five times president of the Canadian conference. He returned to England in 1873, was elected president of conference 1874, and in 1875 one of the missionary secretaries. He published several volumes of sermons, and a book of verse entitled
Sabbath
  Chimes (1867, new edition 188o).
