The Life And Death Of William Kern
The long and faithful work of our beloved pastor, Mr. W. Kern, was brought to a close early on the morning of Friday, Feb. 6th, when he peacefully passed away to his eternal rest. He was born at Wonersh, Surrey, in 1836, where he resided for several years. His first pastorate was at Guildford, in the near neighborhood of his birthplace, where, after earnest and loving ministration, extending over some five and a-half years, he gained the affection and esteem of members and friends worshipping with him, as well as of the residents of the town generally. He received and accepted a call to the Church at “Bethesda,” Ipswich, rather over a quarter of a century ago. During his pastorate here 211 member have died,…

The Life And Death Of George Keeble
Last Days And Hours Of George Keeble, Minister Of The Gospel, Lately Residing At Peterborough. In writing a few lines, giving particulars of my dear father's last days and hours on earth, it is with the sincere desire that under whose eye they may come, the same may be, in the Lord's hand, an encouragement to those in the path of tribulation and trial. It is indeed a great and unspeakable mercy to have a father, a companion in the path of conflict, and one who was deeply taught in the things of the Spirit of God. However time may change, the one true religion stands firm, and this was our favoured lot to see in him to his latest breath. The last month of…

The Life And Testimony Of Ebenezer Marsh
Our esteemed brother Marsh has joined the ranks of "the spirits of just men made perfect." The tongue, so often heard in the Churches magnifying his Lord and Master, lies silent in the grave, and he can no more wield the pen in the behalf of His cause. He has passed for ever from the stage of this world, but his memory is with us still, and these lines are designed to keep that memory in a measure among our readers.

The Life And Testimony Of Elizabeth Jeffries
My dear mother was brought up to attend the Church of England till after her marriage, when she attended and became a member with the Primitive Methodists, and afterwards with the Independents. She was much concerned about her safety in Christ, and was in soul-bondage for many years, not finding amongst those with whom she worshipped the things her soul desired; till on one occasion, when visiting her native village (Alvescott), she heard Mr. Doe, and the Lord blessed her with the assurance that she was interested in "the covenant ordered in all things and sure."

The Life And Testimony Of Nancy Beach
Mrs. Nancy Beach, the beloved wife of the late highly esteemed and God-honoured William Beach, was called to enter into the joy of her Lord early in the morning of June 1st. Her translation to the better country leaves a big gap in spiritual and earthly friendships. She came into the light of this world Dec. 2nd, 1826. Her parents were Christ-illumined people; she was, therefore, a child of much prayer, and it was her father's joy to know that he was the chosen instrument through the Holy Spirit's power of giving serious impressions to his daughter while in communion with the Lord at the family altar. With her parents she attended Rye Lane Chapel, Peckham, and sat under the ministry of the late George…
