The Funeral Sermon Of Thomas Voysey
The removal of a servant of God is a loss extending beyond the family circle and the immediate sphere of labour in which he was found in the service of the King. It has a voice reaching throughout the whole Church of God, and, rightly considered, will humble each believer before Him whose gift the faithful minister and true pastor is.

The Life And Ministry Of Thomas Voysey

The Life And Death Of Thomas Voysey
It is with unfeigned regret we record the death of our beloved brother Thomas Burness Voysey. Only a short time since he was unanimously elected pastor of the Strict Baptist Church (Mount Ephraim), Margate, but was removed to his heavenly inheritance above ere his acceptance of the sacred office could be publicly recognized. We deeply sympathize with the sorrowing relatives and friends, and especially with the Church and congregation at Margate. Many letters have come to hand from kind friends informing us of the sad and solemn event. The following is a copy of the mourning-card received on going to press—
