The Life And Testimony Of Mary Wild
Mary Wild was the only daughter (though there were many sons) of godly parents, both of whom I well knew, not only as being attached hearers of mine during the time of my residence in Wilts, but from personal intercourse, especially with her mother in my subsequent visits, as her father was taken out of this world of sin and sorrow as far back as 1837. The Experience Of Mary Wild’s Parents As no memorial has ever appeared of them, though better worthy of it than many, I shall from some memoranda which have lately been put into my hands written by the deceased, as well as from my personal recollections, give a little account of this godly couple, as a kind of introduction to…

The Life And Testimony Of Ann Bell
Mrs. Bell was much impressed with the value of the soul, and the importance of religion at an early age. She could say she never hated God's people, but felt towards them a mixture of veneration and admiration, which in after years ripened into the warmest love. She was very gradually taught her lost and helpless state as a sinner, and as light increased, her efforts to work out a righteousness to please the Lord were changed into prayers that she might know him; and, through the power of grace, she was enabled to follow on, until he manifested himself to her. One of our friends well remembers the earnestness with which she expressed this reigning desire of her soul, to know the Lord as…

The Life And Testimony Of Lady Hazlerigg
My dearest mother was born Feb. 17, 1784, and departed to her rest in Jesus Oct. 25, 1868. In her earlier days she knew not the Lord, though she was not without some convictions which made her envy at times the beasts that perish. She was left a widow when still young, and survived my father about fifty years; and she had to experience a widow's trials and sorrows. In her 65th year, in 1848, the Lord of her peace began to work effectually upon her soul. She was convinced of her state as a sinner, and as a lost sinner felt her need of a Saviour such as Christ is. In due time the Lord was pleased to comfort her. As her own letter…

The Life And Ministry Of George Clark
The Christian reader is here presented with a very short account, only a few memorandums, respecting a very poor, yet very rich disciple of Jesus; an humble unassuming follower of the Lamb: of one who, though illiterate in worldly learning and science, was yet will taught of God in things that are divine; and who, in a very remarkable way and manner, was sent and conducted by him (who directeth all the movements of his own ministers) in his own time, to the small town of Ivinghoe, in Buckinghamshire; where he was the honored instrument, in the Lord’s hand, of first introducing the preaching of the everlasting gospel; and where subsequently a good sized meeting house was erected for the Lord’s worship, and a church…

The Life And Ministry Of William Huntington
Few men have had to encounter such a storm of contempt, slander, enmity, and opposition as that eminent servant of God of whom these Recollections are given to the public by one who was well acquainted with him, and who, like most of those who sat and had profited under his ministry, entertains undiminished for him the warmest affection and deepest respect. The only doubt amongst those who despised and hated him was whether he were a fanatic or an impostor; and some very quietly and curtly settled the doubt to their own full satisfaction by pronouncing him to be both. This seems to have been the opinion of the late Lord Macaulay, who, in his "Essay upon Lord Clive," speaking of the mysterious horror…
