The Life And Ministry Of Frederick Fuller
Our beloved brother in the Lord was born at Ridgmount, Bedfordshire, in the year 1842, of godly parents, where he followed the Lord in the ordinance of believer’s baptism.

In 1880 he became pastor of the Strict Baptist Church at Aylesbury, where for thirteen years he ministered with the Lord’s blessing and approval.

The Life And Death Of William Kern
The long and faithful work of our beloved pastor, Mr. W. Kern, was brought to a close early on the morning of Friday, Feb. 6th, when he peacefully passed away to his eternal rest. He was born at Wonersh, Surrey, in 1836, where he resided for several years.

The Life And Death Of George Keeble
Last Days And Hours Of George Keeble, Minister Of The Gospel, Lately Residing At Peterborough.

It is indeed a great and unspeakable mercy to have a father, a companion in the path of conflict, and one who was deeply taught in the things of the Spirit of God.

The Life And Testimony Of Ebenezer Marsh
Our esteemed brother Marsh has joined the ranks of "the spirits of just men made perfect." The tongue, so often heard in the Churches magnifying his Lord and Master, lies silent in the grave, and he can no more wield the pen in the behalf of His cause.

John Kershaw: A Preacher Of Grace
Dear Sir, I do not wonder at the strong terms of approval in which you speak of the late Mr. Kershaw's autobiography. I have read it with deepest interest. There is one feature of the work that specially commends itself to my mind; that is, its freedom from rancour and bitterness. Even where he differs, he seeks to concede as much as possible to his opponent, without compromising his own character or principles.
