The Life And Testimony Of Elizabeth Ainscow
She was sister to the late Mrs. M'Kenzie, and was brought up in the Church of England; but when very young she was led to see that she was a great sinner; and living in a country village, near Preston, she used to go into the fields, and there implored the forgiveness of her sins. One day the passage, "Come, let us reason together," was applied so powerfully to her that she ex- claimed, "What, Lord? Reason with me, a

The Life And Ministry Of Ann Maslen
She was born in the parish of Overton, near Marlborough, in the year 1806, and ran in the way of Adam nature till about 1823, when she was seized with a severe affliction in connection with the spine. The doctors attending her, with her relatives and friends, looked for a speedy dissolution, but after a few years our friend began to improve, and finally recovered. This affliction seems to have been the means, in the Lord's hand, of bringing her to see a need of something more than earth can bestow, and a longing went out of her soul to

The Need Of An Evangelistic Spirit In Our Churches
The following address was given by Edwin White at the Annual Meeting of the Metropolitan Association of Strict Baptist Churches (MASBC) in March 1903. Herein Mr. White underscores the biblical mandate to preach the gospel to all sinners, especially in the hearing of the unconverted. Mr. White was a Hyper-Calvinist, and so were the churches he was addressing. They rejected the notion that saving faith is a spiritual and/or legal duty of the unregenerate and denounced the practice of free offers of the gospel.

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).
