The Life And Ministry Of George Wiltshire
“May the dear Lord grant that I, a poor unworthy sinner, may not write one word more than I have handled, tasted, and felt, though, no doubt, you will find in my narrative a part of what I have already told you of my experience. But I wish you to have things in a more straightforward course, as, perhaps, you may have to peruse this epistle over again, when the hand that now writes to you is silent in the tomb.

Why Are We Strict And Particular Baptists?
"Strict and Particular Baptists.'' The title came into prominence in connection with the Norwich Chapel Law-suit of 1860, when it was contended that the Lord's Supper was administered in that place of worship in a way that was opposed to the custom of the founders of the Church and the provisions of the Trust Deed. The decision of the Master of the Rolls was in favour of those who had introduced the innovations, and against those who desired that the ancient practice of the Church should be maintained. From that time forth these, and those that see with them, became a separate section of their Denomination—and they have since been regarded as Strict and Particular Baptists, in opposition to those whose Church Order is that…

The Life And Ministry Of Ebenezer Vinall
The Open-Place Said: EBENEZER A. VINALL, Died May 6, 1880. Aged 63. Septimus Sears departed! Francis Covell silent! Ebenezer Vinall in the grave! How quickly one after another is called from the Churches where Christ has been preached with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven. “Dust to dust! it mingleth well among the sacred soil.'" After some of the roughest storms that nature can endure, in a succession of horrible fits, the soul of Ebenezer Vinall was called home to his happy rest. The Church in Regent-street, City-road, is again bereft of its pastor.

Her father was a member of the Establishment, and in her earlier years she generally attended church with the rest of the family, though she sometimes went to Gower Street with her grandfather and her aunt, the former Mrs. Clowes. She always spoke in the highest terms of Mr. Fowler, who was the first stated minister at Gower Street.

The Life And Ministry Of George Mason
For more than fifty years a Strict Baptist Church has flourished in the favoured village of Prestwood, a short distance from the town of High Wycombe. 'l'he once venerable Benjamin Mason, of Knowle Hill, and several of his descendants and relations were faithful friends to the cause of Christ in those parts. Our kind brother in Christ, Mr. William Mason, of Paddington, has desired us to give the following brief sketch of the life and death of his brother George Mason, who was one of the excellent, the honoured, the beloved, and devoted pillars of the Prestwood Baptist Church. Mr. William Mason says:—

The Baptists In America
Dear Brother in Christ,—-I have read the “Gospel Standard" for a little more than three years, and have felt a sweet fellowship for those generally whose sentiments and experiences have been presented through its pages. At my suggestion, also, a few of my brethren took it the past year, and some more are taking it this year. The doctrine it contains is precious to them, and the experiences related in it speak to their own; and they, as well as myself, acknowledge to having been comforted and profited in reading it. We cannot but feel that those who are represented by it are one with us in the dear Saviour, though separated very widely upon the earth and under different earthly Governments. The power of…
