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 Formation Of The Metropolitan Association Of Strict Baptist Churches
The formation of the Metropolitan Association of Strict Baptist Churches is inseparably linked with the church meeting at Silver Street Chapel, Notting Hill Gate, and her pastor, David Crumpton. The Association, church and pastor subscribed to a restricted communion table and the tenets of Hyper-Calvinism. These are the leading features which set apart the Strict Baptist denomination from other churches, unions, societies and associations. On 4 April 1866, a Strict and Particular Baptist Church was organized in Stormont House, Queen’s Road, Bayswater, London. Several of the founding members seceded from the Strict Baptist church, meeting on Johnson Street, Notting Hill Gate. On the day of the new church’s formation, David Crumpton was appointed the pastor. Within two years, the church acquired a building—the Silver Street…

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 Testimony Of Annie Peake
"If any of my brethren and sisters in the faith should survive me with whom I have walked in soul-union and affection, they may regret that I have not left any record of the Lord's dealings with my soul; and I am not without a corresponding feeling, but circumstances have never favoured my doing so. When the Lord first commenced an effectual work in my soul, by the ploughshare of the law breaking up the fallow ground of my corrupt nature, and laying conviction of sin upon my conscience, about the year 1833, my father, who was then far advanced in years, and quite unacquainted with

She took an active part in the work at Zion, having a…

The Life And Testimony Of George Roots
I have in the first place extracted a little from his own writing: "I am a wonder to many, and a far greater wonder to myself; and am often brought to a stand, to wonder I am out of hell; and I wonder I am suffered to live here on earth. Thus I go wondering on my journey homewards; and when I get home I shall find it the greatest of all wonders that such a mass of corruption could be raised to bliss immortal, to spend a never-ending eternity of solid joy and peace with the Lord of life and glory; there to cast all my praise and thankfulness at his feet, and ever crown him Lord of all.
