The Life And Testimony Of Elizabeth Game
On August 7th, an hour or so before midnight, our dear mother, Elizabeth Game, fell asleep in Jesus at the comparatively early age of 58 years, after almost a lifetime of trials, borne with scarcely a murmuring word, thus glorifying her Saviour—who gave her the grace—by her life. Her father was a deacon at Providence Baptist Chapel, Glemsford, Suffolk, and thus, from her earliest days, dear mother was instructed in the right paths. Later in life, with her husband (Mr. Goerge Good), she attended Ebenezer Strict Baptist Chapel in the same village.

Reformed Baptists Stumbling Over The Teachings Of Keach And Gill
Peter Masters believes Benjamin Keach and John Gill collapsed the Covenant of Redemption into the “conditional” Covenant of Grace, thereby combining the various components of each covenant into one. Samuel Renihan believes Keach rejected the Covenant of Redemption in favor of the “conditional” Covenant of Grace. I have met Reformed Baptists believing one or the other of these views, some of whom say they derive great benefit, especially from the teachings of Gill.

The Life And Ministry Of Samuel Jones
As my father, Mr. Samuel Jones, late of Peckham Grove, Camberwell (a notice of whose death appeared in last month's obituary of the EARTHEN VESSEL), was all his life identified with the Strict Baptist body, a short sketch, drawn up mainly from his own manuscript, may not be uninteresting. He was born at 23, Budge-row, London, June 21, 1817, of respectable, God-fearing parents. At first his life was despaired of; and he says, writing in 1872: "I was a sickly child for some time, and in the nurse's arms till I was three years of age;

The Life And Testimony Of Maria M’Kenzie
In early life she belonged to the Church of England, but, on Mr. M'Kenzie going forth to preach the truth in Preston and the neighbourhood, she was led to hear him, and the word was made a blessing to her soul. She cast in her lot with the people, and was baptized. She was afterwards taken seriously ill in London while Mr. M'Kenzie was supplying there; but God, in his mercy, raised her up again, and she was enabled to bless his dear name for his goodness in her recovery.

A Review: The National Synod Of The Belgic Reformed Churches, Held At Dort, In The Years 1618 and 1619
We conscientiously object to an established church in any form, believing that such establishments are unscriptural, and always have proved themselves to be, more or less, persecuting bodies. These religious formations stand opposed to the separate, independent churches formed by the apostles under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Every true church is complete in itself.

The Life And Ministry Of W. M. Haydon
My acquaintance with Mr. Haydon commenced in 1861, when he would be about thirty-six years of age. At that time it wasvmy happy privilege to conduct, in turn with some Christian brethren, a united prayer meeting in Hoxton. One evening, Mr. Haydon came; something about him struck me as to his ability to express himself well. I said if he would try to cultivate the gift of speaking; I thought he would succeed. I invited him to a meeting I was then conducting in a room in Tabernacle-walk.
