The Life And Ministry Of Samuel Cozens
Samuel Cozens, Pastor Of Zoar Chapel, Ipswich "I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith" (2 Tim. 4:7). With feelings of solemn regret we record the almost sudden death from apoplexy of our dear brother, Mr. Samuel Cozens, pastor of Zoar Chapel, David-street, Ipswich. which occurred on Friday, July 1st, 1887, aged 66 years. Although our brother, Mr. Cozens, had not quite reached the allotted period assigned to man, he had been a great sufferer for some years from several internal complaints, which had almost incapacitated him for many months past from fulfilling the duties of his pastoral office. At last the dear Lord gently brought him down into the valley of death while in harness without…

The Life And Ministry Of William Sage
At Bulkington, near Bedworth, on March 15th, 1865, William Sage, aged 62, departed this life. He was for twenty years a member of the church at Bedworth, and ten years clerk and deacon. He was warmly attached to the late Mr. Congreve and a fellow-deacon. Being taught by the same Spirit, having one faith, with one mind they strove together for the faith of the Gospel. As an honest, simple-minded Christian, he was much esteemed and beloved by the members of the church and the ministers visiting us. His excellent choice of experimental and savoury hymns has been remarked by the supplies, which have sometimes preached to them first, and given them both subject and text. He will be long remembered when some of Hart's…

A Book Review: Memorials Of The Late John Warburton
All who cherish the memory of our now glorified friend, Mr. John Warburton, of Southill, will, we are sure, speedily purchase his autobiography just published, and will thank the editor of it, Mr. C. Hemington, of Devizes, for the able and faithful manner in which he has discharged his work. We have perused the volume with much real pleasure and profit, and heartily commend it to the careful reading of all our friends.

The Life And Ministry Of John Warburton Jr.
The Late Mr. John Warburton, Minister Of The Gospel, Southill, Beds. "God hath His mysteries of grace; ways that we cannot tell; He hides them deep as the sacred sleep of him He loved so well." The death of Mr. John Warburton removes from our midst one of the most faithful and laborious Strict and Particular Baptist ministers of this country and of this age. The cause at Southill and the pulpits for many miles round have lost a familiar character. Mr. Warburton was no ordinary man. In the pulpit he was bold, lively, cheerful, and intrepid; his style was easy, methodical, and original. He was always himself, and never sought to imitate any but Christ and His apostles, and never hesitated to utter what…

The Life And Ministry Of Obadiah Dolbey
Mr. Obadiah Stephanus Dolbey, the Pastor-elect of the Surrey Tabernacle, is a Yorkshire man, of humble but respectable origin, who, like two of our most popular London preachers, claims to have received no distinguished advantage from any of our great schools of learning, but what he has come short of in this respect he has gained literally, as his honoured predecessor, Mr. James Wells, did, by dint of energy and perseverance, which have determined the progress and success of many of the best of England's great men. But he owes what he is as a man, as a Christian, and as a pastor to the grace of God. Mr. Dolbey's father being a godly man, he may have had some special impression of mind that…

The Life And Testimony Of John Oldcastle
Sir John Oldcastle was born in the reign of Edward III. He obtained his peerage by marrying the heiress of that Lord Cobham, who with so much virtue and patriotism opposed the tyranny of Richard II. He was much esteemed by King Henry IV but that which made him truly noble was, that God was pleased in those dark times, to reveal the truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ to him, of which he became a zealous professor, and a valiant defender, especially of the godly ministers who were our first reformer Wycliffe's disciples, whom he protected against the rage of the persecuting clergy, who bore the greatest sway in those popish times. This occasioned him to become the butt of their envy and…
