The Life And Testimony Of John Stockdale
In that valuable work on “Church Fellowship,” by Mr. W. Jeyes Styles, the writer thus defines the office of deacon:—“Deacons are honorary servants of the Church, who, for Christ’s sake, and love to His cause, attend to all temporal matters, and thus leave their pastor more free to pursue his high and holy calling”; and our author further adds on “The Ideal Deacon” (Note XI, p. 147):—“It is clear that Deacons must not only be in fellowship with the Church, but men well known for the spirituality of their religion, the consistency of their lives, their adherence to the doctrines of the Gospel, and their manifested fitness for the work.”

The Life And Testimony Of Joseph Parry
Those who have been favoured to read the letters of our late friend, Mr. Philpot, will have noticed the name of the subject of this short memoir amongst his correspondents. The high esteem in which Mr. Philpot held him must also have been perceived, and a desire probably awakened to know a little more about a correspondent so esteemed, and especially about his end upon earth. We shall now attempt to satisfy, in some degree, that desire, only wishing we had more materials, and that it could have been, had it so pleased the Lord, the pen of his intimate friend, Mr. Philpot, to have written this memoir.

The Life And Testimony Of Emma Debnam
Mrs. Emma Debnam, the beloved wife of Pastor J. R. Debnam, was born at Steeple, in Essex, of God-fearing parents. From her youth she felt convictions of sin, and was often led to cry, “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” At last the Lord was pleased to set her soul at liberty by the application of John 17:24, “Thou has loved them from the foundation of the world.”

The Life And Ministry Of O. H. Cudmore
The death took place of Mr. O. H. Cudmore on July 1st, 1912, for two years pastor of Rehoboth Chapel, Sible Hedingham, after a short illness. There is no doubt he will be very greatly missed, both in the Church and his home, but the Lord is too wise to be mistaken. We humbly pray the Lord to watch over those whom he has left behind. A very humble-minded man, a faithful preacher, very searching at times (for this he did not gain friends), but the Lord kept him faithful unto death, and now through mercy he receives the crown of life.

The Life And Testimony Of David Dann
Death. On Dec. 18th, 1896, aged 42, David Dann, a member and Deacon of Beulah Chapel, Harrow Road, London. In the providence of the Almighty he was removed to Tunbridge Wells about two and a half years ago (as he was not able to get employment in London), and was very soon laid on a bed of suffering after he arrived there; but it pleased the Lord to sanctify the affliction to the good of his soul, as will be seen from the following letter which he sent to a friend:
