The Life And Ministry Of John Noble
It appears that he became the pastor of a church at Tallow Chandler’s Hall, Dowgate Hill, in 1690 composed of two congregations, each of which was so well satisfied with his ministry as to invite him to become the pastor, and both of which united into one Society rather than not enjoy the benefits of his very acceptable ministry. In this station he was preserved with great honour, integrity, and usefulness, for about thirty four years; in all which time he truly manifested himself a minister of the grace of Christ. He was removed by death June 12, 1730, in the 71st year of his age.

The Life And Ministry Of Thomas Patient
He was for some time an Independent minister in America, where he embraced the principles of the Baptists. The consequence of this was, that he was violently persecuted and opposed by the Independents, who as little understood the principles of religious liberty, as those by whose opposition they had been obliged not long before to leave England. Returning to England, about 1640, he became the colleague of Mr. Kiffin, and signed the Confession of Faith, of the seven churches; and travelled with him through the country. Crosby says, he went with General Fleetwood into Ireland. This we suppose was in consequence of au order of Parliament, March 12, 1649, viz.

The Life And Ministry Of Richard Marsh
This dear, aged servant of the Lord was well known and highly regarded amongst the Strict Baptist churches in Lancashire and Cheshire. When God the Spirit first met with him he was, like all of us by nature, wholly taken up with the things of time and sense. He was one of the bell-ringers at the parish church of his native place, Tyldesley, near Manchester, and also a member of a club of hand-bell ringers, to which carnal amusement he was very much attached.

The Life And Ministry Of Frederick Wright
With deep sympathy for the bereaved widow, relatives, and church at Hope Chapel, Rochdale, we record the death of Pastor F. H. WRIGHT. At the comparatively early age of 51 years, his labours here below have reached a close. It is impossible for us to understand the mysterious dealings of God in dispensations like these, but well is it when carnal reasonings are hushed, and faith exclaims under the mighty operation of the Holy Spirit: "It is the Lord: let Him do what seemeth Him good" (1 Sam. 3:18).

The Life And Ministry Of Charles Moore
"During this time I had many solemn thoughts of death and eternity, and many almost sleepless nights on account of sins committed. I was apprenticed to a wool-comber, and my fellowworkmen were of a most drunken class, so that I soon became a prey to all manner of sin. The hidden evils of my heart broke out in every hideous form, and I neither feared God nor regarded man. At the age of sixteen it pleased God to quicken my dead soul, open my blind eyes, and unstop my deaf ears, and he made me feel that living and dying as I was then, hell must be my eternal portion.

The Life And Ministry Of George Morton
I gather from my father's account of the Lord's dealings with him that he began to be awakened to a sense of his lost and ruined state before God when about 23 years of age. His parents were in poor circumstances, so that he was sent to service when very young, and to use his own words, there he learned to fake God's Holy Name in vain and to profane his holy sabbath, and also to indulge in some of the most sinful practices: But God, who is rich in mercy, in his own time and way, brought him to a knowledge of his sinful state, both by nature and practice,
