The Life And Ministry Of Charles Suggate
Our brother, Mr. Charles Suggate, was born at Brampton, Suffolk, on March 12th, 1834. His parents were poor, but, though not spiritual, highly moral and respectable. They were attendants at the parish Church, the only place of worship in the village, and endeavoured to bring up their children according to the best of their light and knowledge. His mother had indeed been in far better circumstances, coming of a family of the name of Rand, of some note in Hadleigh for generations past. Her father, a farmer of good position, removed into the neighbourhood of Brampton, where financial misfortune overtook him, and his daughter had to leave a boarding school to take a situation as a servant. Although brought up in comparative affluence she cheerfully…

A Pastoral Charge
The Charge Delivered By Mr. G. Moyle, Baptist Minister, Of Rye Lane, Peckham, At The Ordination Of Mr. S. K. Bland, Of Cheshunt. In the afternoon, Mr. Joseph Hamblin, late of Foot’s Cray, read a portion of scripture, and offered up sincere and earnest prayer for the pastor and people now united. Mr. George Moyle, of Peckham, delivered The Charge, from 2 Timothy 2:24,25: “And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient. In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth." These words were written by an inspired apostle, and must not therefore be considered as the words of man, but as they…

The Life And Ministry Of George Moyle
The Late Mr. George Moyle, Of Rye-Lane, Peckham On the morning of Tuesday, September 25, 1877, George Moyle passed away from this wilderness to his inheritance above. He had been sustained in honour and integrity, and in much affection, in this world for seventy-four years. He was permitted to preside over the Church as its pastor at Rye-lane for a period that few now have the pleasure of reaching. It was on Tuesday, May 9, 1848, that he was publicly recognised at Rye-lane; so that for nearly thirty years he went in and out before the people, delivering his message to the joy and rejoicing of not a few. At that recognition service, William Felton gave the address on "The Nature of a Gospel Church;"…

In Memory Of My Beloved Husband
On the morning of Tuesday, September 25, 1877, George Moyle passed away from this wilderness to his inheritance above. For thirty-five years he served as pastor for the church meeting at Rye-Lane, Peckham. On Sunday afternoon, October 6, a special service was held at the chapel, during which time the congregation sang a hymn, composed by his wife, in commemoration of his death and celebration of his promotion to glory. Our dearest old friend has now fled to his rest, And no longer is sighing with pain; That poor worn-out body, now sleeping in dust, Will never know sorrow again. He once sowed in tears,—now is reaping in joy, For Jesus has wiped them away,— And to fountains of waters is leading him on, Where…

The Life And Ministry Of Robert Young Banks
Moses, the man of God, speaks: "We spend our years as a tale that is told," or as a meditation. "Our years are three score years and ten"; or by reason of strength, even four score years. "It is soon cut off, and we fly away." Such is true to the life and experience of the four brothers, whose language has been, "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life." And echo is heard, "I shall dwell in the house of the Lord for ever." I have been asked by a dear relative to forward him a brief sketch of my more recently deceased brother, who survived his elder brother about six weeks, our eldest brother having entered into his…

The Life And Ministry Of T. Jones
Dear Brother,—In compliance with your very kind request, I herewith send a few particulars of my early days, as leading up to the subsequent statement related at Zion, New Cross, on April 30, 1895, at public recognition services. Well, sir, I was never drowned, scalded, nor burned. I am thankful that, through mercy, I escaped these evils, which are the general incidents accompanying autobiographies; nevertheless, I narrowly escaped the undertaker, as the doctors gave me up as incurable over twenty years since, assigning as their reason that the left lung had gone, and the right was fast going. I must leave other people to judge of the accuracy of those professional gentlemen. In the month of August, 1846, in the busy time of harvest, it…
