The Life And Ministry Of Frederick Silver
“Hold Fast”, John E. Hazelton:
”Frederick Silver (1781-1864) was trained for the bar, but God called him to proclaim the unsearchable riches of Christ, and he became pastor of Bethlehem Chapel, Richmond, and afterwards of Jewry Street Chapel, Aldgate, where a week-night sermon was for many years delivered by the leading Huntingtonian ministers of the day. He was a “son of consolation” to many, and delighting to direct the inquirer and to minister to the weary, he was powerful in his defence of truth, as the book entitled “The Sword of the Spirit” testifies.”
The Earthen Vessel 1864, Page 316
“Since our last issue, Mr. Frederick Silver, so many years a minister of the Gospel, has been called home. He had been laid aside about a fortnight; and on the Friday he died, he seemed to be getting better; he was very happy in his mind, dwelling much on heavenly realities, particularly sweet in his meditations on the 103rd Psalm during the day. In the evening he retired to rest for the night. Mrs. S thought he was in a sweet sleep; he looked so composed; but on further inspection the spirit had fled:—asleep in Jesus. He was buried at a village near Surbiton. The funeral strictly private. On the coffin plate was inscribed—
Frederick Silver, Esq.,
Died Oct. 7th, 1864,
In his 82nd year.
Frederick Silver (1781-1864) was an Independent High-Calvinist preacher. He was appointed pastor of two churches (Bethlehem Chapel, Richmond; Jewry Street Chapel, Aldgate), both of which had been connected with the ministry and teachings of William Huntington.
