A Celebration Of Sixty Years
Lines Written By Mary R. Bennett, On Completing Her 60th Year, Eight Months Before Her Decease Another milestone has to me been given, Another landmark on the way to heaven, Now sixty have been numbered one by one Swiftly and silently I travel on; Why should my life so full of mercy be? Why has God given so good a lot to me? When sins oppressed my young and anxious mind, He turned my eyes to Jesus, made me find In Him my Saviour and my endless peace: And said to me that, when life here should cease, I should be with Him in the realms of bliss; Should know and love, and see Him as He is, All the long years of pain or…

The Life And Ministry Of Marry Bennett
Many readers of the Earthen Vessel and Gospel Herald in the counties of Surrey, Sussex, Kent and elsewhere, will receive with deep regret the announcement of the death of Mary Randell Bennett, the beloved wife of Mr. W. Bennett, of Wellesley-road, Croydon, formerly of Chelwood House, Burgess-hill, Sussex, where, for a great number of years, she almost entirely supported the Baptist chapel there. Her translation from earth to heaven took place November 12, 1894, aged 60. Deceased was a daughter of the late Mr. Thomas Daynes Wood, at one time minister of Wilderness-row Strict Baptist Church.

The Life And Ministry Of Nathaniel Hart
My dear father was born August 26th, 1818, at Stowupland, Suffolk. Very early in life he was the subject of much exercise of soul, and was first brought to think upon his state of sinfulness through the reading of the Word of God. The constant practice of his godly father was to gather his children round the table on Sunday evenings, and to have them read the Scriptures verse by verse. So very early were these impressions made upon his mind that, when quite a child, he frequently could not sleep at night, because of his exercises concerning his own state, and the thought of eternity and the punishment of the wicked. Other children seemed happy when he was miserable. I have heard him say…

The Life And Ministry Of Robert Young Banks
Moses, the man of God, speaks: "We spend our years as a tale that is told," or as a meditation. "Our years are three score years and ten"; or by reason of strength, even four score years. "It is soon cut off, and we fly away." Such is true to the life and experience of the four brothers, whose language has been, "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life." And echo is heard, "I shall dwell in the house of the Lord for ever." I have been asked by a dear relative to forward him a brief sketch of my more recently deceased brother, who survived his elder brother about six weeks, our eldest brother having entered into his…

The Life And Ministry Of T. Jones
Dear Brother,—In compliance with your very kind request, I herewith send a few particulars of my early days, as leading up to the subsequent statement related at Zion, New Cross, on April 30, 1895, at public recognition services. Well, sir, I was never drowned, scalded, nor burned. I am thankful that, through mercy, I escaped these evils, which are the general incidents accompanying autobiographies; nevertheless, I narrowly escaped the undertaker, as the doctors gave me up as incurable over twenty years since, assigning as their reason that the left lung had gone, and the right was fast going. I must leave other people to judge of the accuracy of those professional gentlemen. In the month of August, 1846, in the busy time of harvest, it…

The Life And Ministry Of Thomas Higham
Knowing that a great number of God's people felt a strong attachment to our beloved brother Thomas Higham, and that his memory will be cherished with sincere affection by them while life lasts, and by the wish of his beloved and sorrowing widow and family, I have undertaken to write a few particulars concerning his life and labours. For over forty years I have known and loved him, and the friendship first formed has continued unbroken until his glorious translation. Our dear brother, in his early days, like the rest of the fallen sons and daughters of Adam, walked according to the course of this world, living without God and without hope. But "The appointed time drew on apace, Not to propose but call by…
