The Life And Ministry Of Thomas Collinge
He was born in 1810 at Blackley, near Manchester. His parents being very poor, his lot was but a rough and hard one. His father died when Thomas was about nine years of age, leaving a widow and five children, of whom Thomas was the eldest. About this time he was turned upon the world, and, to use his own words, “’We were much dependent on other people. O how often have I been glad of a crust!" adding, "The people among whom I lived found that I was born in sin; for I lived as if I had no soul, and as if there was no God. As I grew in years, strength, and vigour, I spent all in sin; I hated to hear…

The Life And Ministry Of John Crowley
Having had my mind many times inclined to try and write a brief account of my unprofitable life, and the desire having again and again declined, when it was brought to my mind forcibly yesterday, I said within myself, "By the help of God, I will begin." As I have no diary, I am dependent upon the blessed Remembrancer to help me. I was born in the town of Fairford, on April 8th, 1812. My parents were poor, God-fearing people. I was the youngest of five children. Only two lived to grow up; and I had a weak body and nervous constitution from my birth. My father brought up my brother and myself very strictly, yet tenderly.

The Funeral Of John Vincent
In the chapel Mr. Cozens said, "I will read to you the register of the births and deaths of the patriarchs of the old world (Gen. 5), and the first public funeral, of which we have an interesting account in the fiftieth chapter of Genesis." In reading the first portion, Mr. Cozens laid great emphasis upon the words "And he died," making ever and anon some solemn remarks upon the recurrence of those words. Before reading the account of Jacob's funeral Mr. Cozens took us into the sick chamber and described the closing scene.

The Life And Death Of John Vincent
"MY VERY DEAR FRIEND, MR. BANKS,—I am sorry to inform you of Mr. John Vincent's death. He preached twice on last Lord's-day, was taken ill on Monday morning, and died this morning, at three o'clock, September 15, 1880. We have lost our pastor, and the chief supporter of Love-lane Chapel. May the Lord incline some good man to come to feed the people with the true bread of life. I shall be glad to hear from you; I hope you will not forget us. I am getting almost past writing. May the good Lord be with you to your journey's end.

The Life And Testimony Of John Vincent
Mr. John Vincent,—(one of the deacons; we may also add, one of the ministers, of the Strict Baptist Church in New Bridge street, at Newcastle-upon-Tyne)—has forwarded us the following special communication. Norfolk is a county less known to us in a Gospel sense, than other counties are. We hope to know it better soon. The Cathedral city of Norwich is better off for Particular Baptist Churches than most Cathedral cities are. At Claxton, Mr. Pawson is doing a good work. Lowestoff and Yarmouth, are towns where our principles ought to be more recognized; but mental and spiritual power is wanting.
