    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.

    The Life And Death Of Frederick Burgess

    Mr. F. G. Burgess was a native of Tilehurst, near Reading, being born in that village in the year 1847. When but 11 years of age he found his mother sitting in her chair, dead, her death being due, it is believed, to heart failure. Shortly after this, on the re-marriage of his father, he left the parental roof and started life on his own account. This life appears to have been a very chequered one. After spending a year or two in the country, be found his way to London and took his own course in sinful practices.

     Where Are We Safe In These Times?

    To our Christian friends, fellow labourers, and readers of the Earthen Vessel generally, we send the greeting of one, who, although he did, in the hour of temptation, deny Christ, yet being converted, or restored by the powerful Grace of God, was commanded by his Divine Master, to strengthen his brethren; accordingly, in addressing "them that had obtained like precious faith with us through the Righteousness of God, and our Saviour Jesus Christ,”—he said to them, "Grace and peace be multiplied unto you, through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, according as His Divine power hath given unto us all things pertaining unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Hirn that hath called us unto glory and virtue."

    The Life And Death Of David Crumpton

    Some years since Mr. Crumpton left his Church in Yorkshire and came to Soho: from thence to Silver-street, Kensington. Much illness compelled him to resign his pastorate there. Since then he has preached in different places. A few months back he lost his wife by death; then his son. On Monday, August 17, 1874, he entered into rest himself. His path, for a long time, has been one of personal and of domestic affliction. Of his life and ministry we may give a fuller note next issue.

    The Life And Ministry Of Henry Dadswell

    My dear father was born at Brighton in the year 1857. His parents were members of the Church at Ebenezer, Richmond Street, of which Mr. Israel Atkinson was pastor, his father being a deacon and secretary of the Sunday-school, and his mother a faithful helper in every good work; and they gave their son the best education in their power. He attended the Sunday-school at “Ebenezer,” and his answers to the pastor’s Bible questions, written when he was in the Bible Class under the leadership, first of Mr. Green and then of Mr. Field, and his papers written for the pastor’s week-night Bible Class at a late dat, when he had become a Sunday-school teacher, so impressed Mr. Atkinson that he told a friend of…

    Daniel Allen: Pastor And Pioneer

    There is a class of early settlers of whom Australia is justly proud today. They pursued new avenues of discovery, lent their names to mountains and deserts, and set the standards by which their successors were judged. They possessed qualities of vision, energy, courage, and determination: the ‘true grit’ character which opened up the continent. These were the pioneers. To attempt to include Daniel Allen within this class might be rejected as presumptuous and inappropriate. A pastor he was indeed, looked upon as a father in Christ by many; but a pioneer also? Surely an extravagant claim! Nevertheless, consider the description given above, and compare the following features to determine what spirit he was of. He pioneered, not in opening up a new country, but…
