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 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.

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.

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…

The Life And Ministry Of O. H. Cudmore
The death took place of Mr. O. H. Cudmore on July 1st, 1912, for two years pastor of Rehoboth Chapel, Sible Hedingham, after a short illness. There is no doubt he will be very greatly missed, both in the Church and his home, but the Lord is too wise to be mistaken. We humbly pray the Lord to watch over those whom he has left behind. A very humble-minded man, a faithful preacher, very searching at times (for this he did not gain friends), but the Lord kept him faithful unto death, and now through mercy he receives the crown of life.
