The Life And Testimony Of William Dunderdale
He was born in a remote and obscure farming district. His mother thought it right to have him christened, and so took him for that purpose to Mr. B., a minister in the Church of England; but she was greatly disappointed by finding him intoxicated, and incapable of performing that rite. However, she went a second time; but, to her astonishment, found him in the same sad and lamentable state, and had to come home with a heavy heart.

The Life And Testimony Of Elizabeth Warren
My dear daughter has from her earliest childhood had a pretty clear knowledge of the letter of divine truth, being, at the age of six, in great distress for fear she should never go to heaven. She was always very willing to go where the truth was preached, whatever part of the world she was in. At the age of seventeen, not being able to get to where I then worshipped, she went among the General Baptists, and joined a Bible class.

The Life And Testimony Of Samuel Cox
We had the honour of speaking a few words over the remains of that venerable man, Mr. Samuel Cox, when his beloved family laid the mortal part in the grave, just at the rear of dear James Wells's vault in Nunhead cemetery, on Friday, June 18, 1880. We have attended funerals since 1820—sixty years since—we never saw one more respectably or consistently conducted. We refer not to the religions department, but to the decorum, propriety, affection, and honour of the bereaved family.

The Life And Testimony Of Francis Covell
Personally, we never knew, never heard, never saw Mr. Francis Covell in the whole course of our life, but from his published sermons; from the testimony of many friends; from the secret witness of the Spirit within, we esteemed and honoured his name, and had confidence in his work, because we fully believed he was a minister called, qualified, and successfully employed by that Almighty and Eternal LORD GOD, whose saving and anointing power alone can make a man's testimony the power of HIMSELF unto the salvation of others.

The Life And Testimony Of Ann Carter
My dear mother was not a scribe, therefore I shall write what I have had from her own lips at intervals. I do not know the exact time she was sailed by grace, but she was awakened to her sinnership under a Primitive Methodist minister. She was very reserved, but a lover of peace. She went to live at Holwell, four miles from Alvescot. While there she opened upon the 1003rd hymn (Gadsby's Selection), which contained the very breathings of
