The Life And Testimony Of Ruth Bodman
Death. On Feb. 18th, 1897, in her 73rd year, this deeply tried and true child of God (a member with us at Zion Chapel, Trowbridge,) was gathered home. For over 50 years she had, by the living power of God, known the truth as it is in Jesus, and in 1846 she first contributed to the pages of the “Gospel Standard." She was truly a captive taken from the strong. She found great encouragement in reading the pages of the "Standard;" and she appeals to God, in writing her first account of her signal call by grace, that her motive was to show the electing love of God, and desired that it might prove a blessing to some poor quickened soul.

The Life And Testimony Of William Dunderdale
He was born in a remote and obscure farming district. His mother thought it right to have him christened, and so took him for that purpose to Mr. B., a minister in the Church of England; but she was greatly disappointed by finding him intoxicated, and incapable of performing that rite. However, she went a second time; but, to her astonishment, found him in the same sad and lamentable state, and had to come home with a heavy heart.

The Life And Testimony Of Elizabeth Warren
My dear daughter has from her earliest childhood had a pretty clear knowledge of the letter of divine truth, being, at the age of six, in great distress for fear she should never go to heaven. She was always very willing to go where the truth was preached, whatever part of the world she was in. At the age of seventeen, not being able to get to where I then worshipped, she went among the General Baptists, and joined a Bible class.
