The Life And Ministry Of John Phillips
He was taken ill in Brighton, early in December, 1871. Some of his sentences we could not catch sufficiently to connect them. He was frequently in prayer. Once most distinctly he was heard to say, "Show me thy hands and thy feet. Lay me low and keep me there till I say, Not my will, but thine be done." At another time, "Do bless me and my dear partner and children. Thou knowest how very near they lie to the heart of thy poor dust. Thou canst bless them, and provide for them, and none, O Lord, but thou canst give them grace.

The Life And Testimony Of Mrs. Burn
Dear Mr. Banks,—I send you an account of my mother's life and death. She was well known to many of your readers; it might be acceptable to some. I feel a desire to pay this last tribute to her memory for one especial reason, and that is, that she really travailed in spiritual birth for me, until (I hope) Christ was formed in my heart, the hope of glory. She did indeed, too, minister to me in some of my soul's conflicts, and was a fellow-helper of my joy. I felt a real soul union to my mother that I do not to many.

Andrew Fuller Split The Particular Baptist Denomination
The Works of Andrew Fuller; very large hardback; 1012 pages; price £27; published by The Banner of Truth Trust, and obtainable from Christian bookshops. We must confess we were rather surprised that Banner of Truth should publish the works of the renowned Baptist minister, Andrew Fuller (1754-1815). As is well known, the publication of Fuller’s The Gospel Worthy of All Acceptation in 1785 split the old Particular Baptist denomination in two. There were many like Gadsby, Warburton, Kershaw and Philpot who rejected Fuller’s teaching (and interestingly, with this section a wonderful time of spiritual prosperity followed).

The Life And Ministry Of Joshua Banforth
He was baptized by the late Mr. Kershaw, for whom he always retained the highest regard; and he also frequently spoke of dear William Gadsby's ministry as having been a blessing to his soul. Living in this neighbourhood, he removed his membership from Rochdale to Slaithwaite. For nearly forty years he was in the habit of supplying many of the causes of truth in Yorkshire and Lancashire, and was

The Life And Testimony Of Ruth Bodman
Death. On Feb. 18th, 1897, in her 73rd year, this deeply tried and true child of God (a member with us at Zion Chapel, Trowbridge,) was gathered home. For over 50 years she had, by the living power of God, known the truth as it is in Jesus, and in 1846 she first contributed to the pages of the “Gospel Standard." She was truly a captive taken from the strong. She found great encouragement in reading the pages of the "Standard;" and she appeals to God, in writing her first account of her signal call by grace, that her motive was to show the electing love of God, and desired that it might prove a blessing to some poor quickened soul.

The Life And Ministry Of George Tustin
George Tustin was born at Hook Norton, in Oxfordshire, in 1802. He was the son of poor, but pious, parents. Early in his boyhood his parents removed to Middleton Cheney, in Northamptonshire, where they continued to reside till they were called away, at a ripe old age, to enter upon that eternal rest which is found only beyond the grave. My father did not receive any religious impressions till after he had entered upon his married life.
