The Life And Death Of Charles Graham
New York, America.—Dear Brother Winters,—I send you a synopsis of how the Lord has thinned us out since we met first at Grand-street, Williamsburgh, in April, 1889. On March 20th, 1890, the Lord called away from us W. Mott in the 81st year of his age. His obituary appeared in your columns at the time. The next the Lord called was Mr. John Axford on July 29th, 1891, in his 82nd year—His obituary likewise appeared in your columns with portrait. The next was Mrs. A. J. Hill, who died on February 6th, 1892, aged 49 years. Her obituary likewise appeared in your columns at the time. She was one who helped to form our little Church in June, 1891. The next the Lord called away…

The Life And Testimony Of Charles Graham
Dear Brother Winters,—It is with the greatest difficulty I begin to write about myself. I commenced to preach at the same time that brother William Bracher began in 1841, and preached in and around London until 1850. I came out here alone without my family. When I landed, the first place I called at with reference to religious matters was the late Mr. Axford's. I then attended the Old School Baptists preaching in a hall. I thought they were sound in the faith. After a few weeks I met a brother named Nash at the meeting. He saw I was a stranger, and spoke to me and took me home to dinner. He also took me the same day to hear a coloured minister named…

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. Our dear brother Voysey has gone. The Lord Himself has called him home. Though personally known to but few of you here, he was your pastor's most true and devoted friend, with whom he had walked in unbroken unity for over twenty years. Moreover, he formed, in the providence of God, one of the connecting links which brought about our union today as pastor…

The Life And Ministry Of Thomas Voysey
Our beloved brother was born June 11th, 1849. He was the son of godly parents; a privilege for which he ever blessed the Lord. His beloved mother was the eldest daughter of the late Mr. Jas. Jeffs, of blessed memory. She was called to her rest on September 8th, 1871. Her removal was a heavy trial to our dear brother. His beloved father long filled the office of deacon well in the Church at Brentford, where his memory is still fragrant. Our departed brother was the subject of convictions of sin as far back as he could remember. He ever treasured many of those words and sayings of his dear mother, which were as arrows that pierced his soul, and, anon, as balm to heal…

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—

The Life And Ministry Of Thomas Baldwin
Recognition Of Mr. Thomas Baldwin As Pastor Of Zion, Norbiton, Surrey. We have attended many recognition services, but never remember to have enjoyed one more than that held on Monday, Jan. 11th, 1892, at Zion, Norbiton. The brethren present appeared to be alive to their position, yet thoughtful in their expressions, and steady in their movements; and the congregation looked cheerful and fully at home. The whole of the proceedings were carried out in the most sacred and orderly manner possible. The sanctuary is really a beautiful one; its position and surroundings are all that could be desired. At the rear of the chapel is a neat and commodious school-room, which was erected a short time since.
