William Bailey Griffiths Vaughan died on 26th January. From his own writings the following paragraphs are extracted:— "Brought up under the truth at Zoar Chapel, Bradford, Yorks, I was from early youth accustomed to hear the faithful proclamation of the gospel, which my carnal nature often resented and upon which its enmity often sat in judgment.
