The Life And Testimony Of Isabella Prentice
I knew the subject of the present Obituary very well, as she was not only a member of my church at Stamford, but, previously to her marriage, lived in my service as cook for about six years; and therefore from my personal knowledge of her, and having heard from her own lips much of her own experience, I can so far testify to the truth of the account which she has given of it by her own pen in the following pages. Like most of us, she had her infirmities; but taking her on the whole, and having, of course, had much opportunity for observation, I must say that I have rarely known a person who daily lived more under the power and influence of…

The Answered Prayers Of A Loving Mother
Some of the readers of the "Gospel Standard" knew and heard the late Mr. Scandrett, who was for many years the beloved pastor of the church of Christ at Godmanchester, and to them it will be interesting to learn a few particulars of the experience and death of his aged widow, who departed this life on the 25th of August, 1858, aged 91 years. Her daughter has furnished me with a short account of her dear mother, and I think I cannot do better than send it to you almost in her own words.

The Answered Prayers Of A Loving Father
We are favored with a copy of a neat pamphlet just written by our Christian and ministerial brother, Thomas Jones, of Dacre Park, Blackheath, entitled—“Jubilee Jottings. A Retrospect of the Past. An Ebenezer of Praise. Passages in the History of the Baptist Church at Sible Hedingham, Essex.” The profits of this little fourpenny book (if there be any) are to be given to the Sunday-school connected with the chapel; and as it is a most pleasing and instructive narrative, we expect it will circulate far and near. The author has given us full permission to use as much of it as we can; we therefore connect with our report of the jubilee services a few extracts from the church’s history. The following paragraphs carry us…

The Gratitude Of A Wayward Daughter
Gospel Standard 1869: A Correspondence Between A Daughter And Her Parents The following letters will speak for themselves. The first was written by the daughter of Mr. Scandrett, for many years pastor of the Strict Baptist church at Godmanchester, and the two others are the answers to it from her parents: A Letter By F. Moss (Scandrett) To Her Father And Mother My dear Father and Mother, I take up my pen at this time to address you with feelings very different to what I have formerly done. Yes; I feel that I am a sinner, a great sinner, and always was, though I did not know it as I have lately seen myself to be. I have been led to see my lost and…
