1 Corinthians: Chapter 3, Verse 5
“Who then is Paul? and who is Apollos? etc.]” The apostle’s name being used, and he a party concerned, could speak the more freely upon this head, and ask what they thought of himself, and other preachers, whether they were more than men? what authority and power they had, whether they looked upon them as the authors of a new religion, or the founders of a new sect, that were to go by their names? and directs them what light to consider them in, how that they were “but ministers by whom ye believed:” They were servants to Christ and to his churches, and not lords; they did not assume any dominion over men, or pretend to lord it over God’s heritage; there is but…

The Life And Ministry Of Samuel Collins
Earthen Vessel 1889, Page 168: The Late Mr. Samuel Collins, Of Grundisburgh, Suffolk One of the greatest and grandest Suffolk preachers of the Gospel of the past, known to us, was Samuel Collins, of Grundisburgh. It was not in sunny Suffolk that our ears and heart were first charmed by the pouring out of his soul in tremulous accents on Gospel themes but in that highly favoured sanctuary at Hill Street, Dorset Square, London, of which John Foreman, of blessed memory, was the renowned pastor so many years. It was in the early days of our Christian career, mainly, that we spent several happy Good Fridays in succession at Hill Street with our beloved wife and her parents and friends, and there we heard Samuel…

The Life And Ministry Of John Cooper
In the 1889 edition of the Earthen Vessel, the following sketch is given for the life and ministry of John Cooper: The Late Mr. John Cooper, Of Wattisham, SuffolkA quarter of a century ago the names of George Wright, of Beccles, Samuel Collins, of Grundisburgh, and John Cooper, of Wattisham, were familiar to almost every old resident in the county of Suffolk; and for their preaching qualifications they had few equals in the Strict Baptist Denomination. The last time we saw Mr. Cooper, was at Blakenham Chapel; he was then seated in the corner of the building, and appeared to be very feeble in shaking hands and in wishing us a loving farewell. We learn from Mr. S. K. Bland's excellent account of Mr. Cooper,…

Gathered Fragments On The Life And Ministry Of John Hazelton
In an attempt to provide a helpful introduction to the life and ministry of John Hazelton, I have selected and collated several articles from various editions of the Earthen Vessel, the result of which I hope will prove a blessing to the reader interested in the testimonies of Christ’s ambassadors. In the Earthen Vessel 1877, Charles Waters Banks provides a short biographical sketch of the life and ministry of John Hazelton: “There are thousands of Baptists in North and South Wales, in the United States, and in different parts of the Colonies, who wish to know who we have now in London, to whom our Churches look as God's appointed leaders for His people in this the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Some of…

The Life And Ministry Of Richard Searle
An Autobiographical Sketch, "Earthen Vessel (1867)", Page 141: Dear Brother, it has been the request of some of my Christian friends for years to publish a sketch of my experience in the dealings of the Lord with me; so that when you wrote a pressing request for it after a prayerful consideration, I felt I must not deny you; therefore I take my pen, praying the Lord may make it a blessing. I was born at Bethnal Green, in the east end of London, February 23, 1812. My parents were poor, but gave me a plain education. My mother, I hope, was a godly woman, many years a member of the late R. Langford's, on the Green; but afterwards she became a Baptist, and was…
