The Life And Death Of James Popham
Waymarks Vol 9 (1937) The Late Mr. J. K. Popham Pastor Of The Church, Meeting For Divine Worship At “Galeed” Strict Baptist Chapel, Brighton. Having already gone to Press, before the bereaving news reached us of the passing of the late Mr. J. K. Popham, on June 17th, 1937, at the advanced age of 89 years; together with the fact that the funeral has not taken place as we write, it will be obvious to our friends that anything beyond a brief word in relation to the sad, yet blessed event, is out of the question.

The Life And Ministry Of Alfred Dye
Since we went to press, the Lord has seen fit to call to Himself, after an illness lasting only a fortnight, the former Pastor of the Church at "Providence,” Rowley Regis—Mr. Alfred Dye. He entered into rest just after 8 a.m. on March 17th, 1930, at the age of 78 years. Some of his last words were: “Heaven! heaven! heaven! I see heaven! Going, going, going;” and later on, “Up, up, up.” The funeral took place on Thursday, March 20th, at “Providence,” in the presence of a large gathering of friends, Pastors Yates, Robbins and Hunt officiating.

The Life And Ministry Of Walter Brooke
It is not our custom to make extended references to the passing of various members of our denomination, the purpose of sending forth this magazine being far removed from the mere dissemination of news, but circumstances sometimes warrant a departure from usual practice.

The Life And Ministry Of E. A. Brooker
It came as a great shock to us, after reaching home from chapel on Lord's Day evening, December 27th, 1953, to hear over the telephone of the sudden passing from time to eternal glory, of our late friend, Mr. E. A. Brooker (Pastor at Rehoboth Strict Baptist Chapel, Tunbridge Wells). Before us, as we write, is a letter from one of his deacons, from which we cull the following particulars:

The Life And Ministry Of Francis Yates
Some of us have lost a very close friend, and the Church of God is the poorer, since the Lord has been pleased to take to Himself another of His servants—Mr. Brands Oakes Yates, the dearly loved Pastor of the Strict Baptist Church at Gave Adullam, Beeches Road, Blackheath, Staffs. The departed had entered upon his 84th year, forty-two years of this long life having been lovingly spent with the aforenamed church.
