The Life And Ministry Of Henry Hall
“The memory of the just is blessed.”—Prov 10:7 It is with keen feelings of sorrow that we record the almost sudden death of our long known and very highly esteemed friend and brother in Christ, Mr. Henry Hall, pastor of Ebenezer chapel, Wirtemberg- street, Clapham. The loss of our brother to the Church of which he was so long pastor, and to the denomination at large, is great indeed, as he was ever ready to assist God's cause in any direction to the utmost of his ability. His warm and liberal heart, and the principles of faith which he tenaciously held and propagated for so many years, have endeared his memory to many genuine saints, who sorely grieve (although not without hope of his spirit…

The Life And Ministry Of Henry Boulton
My dear departed father, Henry Boulton, was born in Whiskin Street, Clerkenwell, August 27, 1843, of godly parents, whose desire was to train up their children in the fear of the Lord. The early impressions that he received under the teaching of his godly mother were often the cause of deep and solemn thoughts concerning the future. His parents were Strict Baptists, but more often they attended Woodbridge Street Chapel, then under the pastoral care of Mr. Luckin. When about six years of age, he was sent to the Sabbath School connected with Woodbridge Street, and continued there for many years; and occasionally he referred in the pulpit to the teaching that he received there; and would mention the hymns he was taught when a…

The Life And Ministry Of H. J. Wileman
On May 28th, 1860, much joy was expressed to a small circle of friends in the small country town of Oakham, because a seventh son was born of gracious, praying parents, who received their tender charge as a gift from God, to train in His fear. Judging from that early training, so distinct some of it even today, one can see plainly that an earthly portion was by no means the only thing thought of. This was verified in after years, for not only can the writer remember the prayers of his mother, which he listened to, as he crept to her bedroom door, but has also seen his father's face wet with tears, as his heart went up to God to ''bless the dear…

The Life And Ministry Of Ebenezer Beecher
My Dear Brother,—In response to your request for a sketch of my life, I may say, that although born of believing parents on November 9th, 1837, and trained by them according to their ideas of propriety, it became evident in my case that, "that which is born of the flesh is flesh," and although I was preserved from going to a great length in open profanity, I had no manifest spiritual life until I was over 21 years of age; still, there were three distinct events earlier than that, which I now know to be the work of the Holy Spirit. But in the summer of 1859, an answer given to a question propounded by me, was the means of opening my eyes, and sending…

The Death And Funeral Of Charles Hancock
Our Lord and Master has been pleased to take to Himself our dearly beloved and faithful pastor, Mr. Charles Hancock, of Sturry. On Monday, December 18th he conducted the funeral service of Miss Charlotte Moat, and remarked at the graveside that we must all come to this. The next day he left home for Leicester, with his wife and daughter, for a fortnight’s change at the residence of his son; on Sunday, December 24th he went to hear Mr. Realff. During the following week he was taken very sadly, and it was thought advisable to heve medical advice, and he was ordered to bed at once. During his prostration he wrote a loving letter to the senior deacon, Mr. Morris, stating how keenly he felt…

The Life And Ministry Of Charles Hancock
Dear Brother Banks,—You kindly ask me for a sketch of my life, together with a brief history of the cause of God in Sturry. I confess I have studiously avoided publicity in my present sphere, feeling I am not like most of God's servants, but of late years have been more drawn to you as editor of the Earthen Vessel and to the great army in our beloved denomination that surrounds you. I was born of Christian parents into this world on January 28th, 1821, and in 1838 was born again into the kingdom of God, and I desire humbly to praise God, that, though going the broad and down- ward road, I was preserved from all outward sin, and death, for twice was I…
