John Gill By George Ella
Speaks for itself. I no longer read many books and am very selective as to what I will read. And moreover, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yes, he pondered and sought out and set in order many proverbs. 10The Preacher sought to find acceptable words; and what was written was upright words of truth. 11The words of the wise are like goads, and the words of scholars are like well-driven nails, given by one Shepherd. 12And further, my son, be admonished by these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is wearisome to the flesh.

The Life And Ministry Of Griffiths Vaughan
William Bailey Griffiths Vaughan died on 26th January. From his own writings the following paragraphs are extracted:— "Brought up under the truth at Zoar Chapel, Bradford, Yorks, I was from early youth accustomed to hear the faithful proclamation of the gospel, which my carnal nature often resented and upon which its enmity often sat in judgment. In about my seventeenth year, the sudden affliction of my dear father brought me to my knees for the first time in earnest prayer in felt helplessness."

Lena Vaughan, a member at Zoar Chapel, Bradford, died on 15th November, 1974, and was buried at Harpenden on the 20th November in sure and certain hope of a glorious resurrection. She was married to the late Mr. W. B. Griffiths Vaughan at Gower Street Chapel on 30th May, 1921, by Mr. John Booth.

It is true that she had responded to that same question in 1911 in respect to her union with the church's living Head.

The Life And Testimony Of Mary Ann Booth
The Lord has been pleased in His wisdom to solemnly visit us again at Bradford, and to remove suddenly from our midst dear Mrs. Booth, the loving helpmeet of our late, beloved pastor. For some time her eyesight had been rapidly failing, and an operation for cataract had been performed in the Eye and Ear Hospital; but about ten days after, the heart suddenly gave way, and she passed away in a moment or two.

The Life And Testimony Of Elizabeth Vaughan
Death. On March 21st, 1890, Elizabeth Vaughan, Widow Of The Late William Vaughan, For Twenty-Seven Years Pastor Of The Church At Bradford, Yorkshire. A close friendship and correspondence having been kept up between myself and the deceased for nearly half a century, I feel my mind led to state a few particulars respecting her during her pilgrimage journey in this vale of tears. The poet in a few words well describes her experience where he says, “A rough and thorny path we tread in hopes to see his face;" though at times she had her bright gainings, and could leave her all in the Lord's hands, saying,
