The Life And Testimony Of Walter Lockwood
College Slip Strict Baptist Church has lost a valuable helper in the home-call of our brother. He was called by grace when residing at Richmond in 1871. He had a season of deep conviction until his soul was almost in despair, but was eventually brought into liberty under a sermon by Mr. Chipchase from ls. 53:4, 5. He realised that the dear Saviour had borne his griefs and carried his sorrows; and it brought healing, peace and joy to his wounded heart. He joined the Church at “Salem," Richmond. He had many providential trials, and trod a very tribulatory path for several years; eventually God made his

The Life And Testimony Of Lucy Turner
From a child, my dear mother had known the truth; and for many years had walked in all the ordinances of the Lord blameless. She was the mother of 13 children, and was as affectionate a mother as she was a true helpmate and dutiful wife of my dear father. Her gifts and graces were not confined to the things of this world. She lived as well as died a Christian. Having led a godly life, of course she had her share of persecution and tribulation, which she bore with exemplary patience and resignation.

The Life And Death Of Frederick Burgess
Mr. F. G. Burgess was a native of Tilehurst, near Reading, being born in that village in the year 1847. When but 11 years of age he found his mother sitting in her chair, dead, her death being due, it is believed, to heart failure.

Where Are We Safe In These Times?
To our Christian friends, fellow labourers, and readers of the Earthen Vessel generally, we send the greeting of one, who, although he did, in the hour of temptation, deny Christ, yet being converted, or restored by the powerful Grace of God, was commanded by his Divine Master, to strengthen his brethren; accordingly, in addressing "them that had obtained like precious faith with us through the Righteousness of God, and our Saviour Jesus Christ,”—he said to them, "Grace and peace be multiplied unto you, through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, according as His Divine power hath given unto us all things pertaining unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Hirn that hath called us unto glory and virtue."

The Formation Of The Metropolitan Association Of Strict Baptist Churches
The formation of the Metropolitan Association of Strict Baptist Churches is inseparably linked with the church meeting at Silver Street Chapel, Notting Hill Gate, and her pastor, David Crumpton. The Association, church and pastor subscribed to a restricted communion table and the tenets of Hyper-Calvinism. These are the leading features which set apart the Strict Baptist denomination from other churches, unions, societies and associations. On 4 April 1866, a Strict and Particular Baptist Church was organized in Stormont House, Queen’s Road, Bayswater, London. Several of the founding members seceded from the Strict Baptist church, meeting on Johnson Street, Notting Hill Gate. On the day of the new church’s formation, David Crumpton was appointed the pastor. Within two years, the church acquired a building—the Silver Street…

The Life And Death Of David Crumpton
Some years since Mr. Crumpton left his Church in Yorkshire and came to Soho: from thence to Silver-street, Kensington. Much illness compelled him to resign his pastorate there. Since then he has preached in different places. A few months back he lost his wife by death; then his son. On Monday, August 17, 1874, he entered into rest himself. His path, for a long time, has been one of personal and of domestic affliction. Of his life and ministry we may give a fuller note next issue.
