A Report On The Annual Meeting In Support Of The Earth Vessel
To the Ministering Brethren—to the Members of the Church of Christ at Crosby Row—and to all who gave their countenance and help at the Annual Meeting on behalf of The Earthen Vessel, on Tuesday, May 17, 1853, this small expression of my gratitude is presented with feelings of increasing desire that my labours may be more than ever devoted to the bringing together, building up, and feeding of a portion of the ransomed church of the living God. Riding this morning, (Wednesday, May 18th) from Paddington to Wantage, in Berkshire, (where I hope to preach the gospel of God) my mind has been stirred up with a desire to address a few words to you expressive of my sincere thanks for every token both of…

The Life And Ministry Of Israel Atkinson
Mr. Geo. Murrell, of St. Neot’s, gave out the 132d Psalm; after which, Mr. Field, of Greenwich, read part of Eph. 4. Mr. Murrell, of St. Neot's, then gave out the second part of the 132d Psalm. Mr. Samuel Milner, of London, then stated the nature of a of a gospel church, basing his remarks on l Tim. 3:15, "The house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth." Mr. Milner first stated that the church was a company of faithful men and women, united together for gospel purposes, on gospel principles. He said it was common on these occasions to give our reasons for dissent; but we take higher ground. We conceive the New Testament…

The Life And Ministry Of Edgar Flegg
Dear Brother,—In response to your request I send you a brief outline of my life. I was born in London, in the year 1867. I was blessed with godly parents, brought up under Christian influence and training, and the subject of many earnest prayers on the part of my parents. These things, together with the godly instruction I received at Soho Sunday School, were the means of preventing me from running into the depths of outward sin, into which some are permitted to go. About the year 1880, I was much affected by my brother being baptized, and became greatly concerned with respect to my condition before God. From this time I commenced attending the week-night services with my brother, and, although I often felt…

The Life And Death Of John Brine
John Brine, Baptist. Here lie interred the remains of the Rev. John Brine, who departed this life February 21st, 1765, in the 63rd year of his age. His ministerial abilities were very extraordinary, and his zeal and faithfulness in asserting and defending the great truths of religion, equally conspicuous. Not long before his decease, he expressed his sentiments in the following words: “I think I am of sinners the chief—of saints the least; I know that I am noting, but by the grace of God, I am what I am.”

The Life And Ministry Of Ebenezer Marsh
Born into this world of sin on August 5th, 1853, the dealings of God with the writer have been one long chain of goodness, grace and love to the present hour; but, oh! what shame and confusion of face is mine as the question comes, "How has it been requited?" Only the writer could give anything like a just answer to this soul-humbling question, and his pen for very shame refuses to transcribe all he knows. Let my God read it if He will, whose heart of love has blotted out my sins through His own most precious blood, but let no imperfect creature wish to peer into this veritable chamber of horrors—the accumulated transgressions, iniquity, and sin, of this base heart.

The Life And Ministry Of Gilbert Beebe
Mr. Saluson: In fulfillment of my promise, I will state some of the most important incidents of my life. I was born in the town (now city) of Norwich, Connecticut on the 25th day of November, 1800. At a very early period, and as far back as my memory extends, I was seriously impressed with a solemn conviction of my sinful and lost condition as a sinner, and of the necessity of being "born again," to qualify me to see the kingdom of God. When I think from my best remembrance of the date, I was made to hope and rejoice in God as my Savior, and to feel his love shed abroad in my heart. I think that at that tender age I was…
