Rejoicing In Hope
The Apostle in this chapter exhorts the believing Romans to the exercise of the grace of HOPE, engraven in their hearts by the Holy Ghost, who had called them "out of darkness into marvellous light."

The Life And Death Of David Crumpton
Some years since Mr. Crumpton left his Church in Yorkshire and came to Soho: from thence to Silver-street, Kensington. Much illness compelled him to resign his pastorate there. Since then he has preached in different places. A few months back he lost his wife by death; then his son. On Monday, August 17, 1874, he entered into rest himself. His path, for a long time, has been one of personal and of domestic affliction. Of his life and ministry we may give a fuller note next issue.
