The Life And Ministry Of Francis Yates
Some of us have lost a very close friend, and the Church of God is the poorer, since the Lord has been pleased to take to Himself another of His servants—Mr. Brands Oakes Yates, the dearly loved Pastor of the Strict Baptist Church at Gave Adullam, Beeches Road, Blackheath, Staffs. The departed had entered upon his 84th year, forty-two years of this long life having been lovingly spent with the aforenamed church.

The Life And Ministry Of James Sharples
By the grace of God, James Thomas Sharples was what he was. Actuated by this persuasion, our pen moves with our heart, while endeavouring to make known what sovereign grace did for him, and how it eventually burst forth into glory when he left us for heaven. So, while the benefit of this little account shall be, we trust, far reaching; the glory must be given to Him, who alone being worthy, says: “My glory will I not give to another” (Isa. 42:8).

The Believer’s Rest
Without stopping to dwell on the rest of the Sabbath, which God instituted when He had completed the fair work of creation, as He gazed with complacent eye on every form of beauty, as it came forth into being perfected by His creative power, He pronounced it very good, He rested and sanctified the Sabbath day for ever; nor can we tarry to speak of the rest of God's Israel, in the land of Canaan, after He had led them about and instructed them for forty years in the wilderness, although their conduct, their wanderings, and God's gracious dealings with them, their final possession
