    The Life And Ministry Of Daniel Allen

    Our departed brother Daniel Allen, of blessed memory, many years the beloved pastor of the Particular Baptist Church, A, Sydney, and whose death we recorded in our last issue, was born of humble parents in the parish of Wilbey, Suffolk, in the year 1824.

Subsequently, he was appointed to the charge of one of the Baptist Churches, and with the exception of a year spent in Launceston, continued as pastor of the Melbourne Church till 1870, when he settled at Sydney, and became the pastor…

    The Life And Funeral Of Edward Carr

    The name of the late Rev. Edward Carr, Pastor of Providence Chapel, Bristol Road, Bath, is well known to many of our readers. After a ministry extending over forty years he was called Home at the age of 68, on January 10 last. During our own ministry at Bath we frequently met Mr. Carr and enjoyed occasional happy intercourse with him. Many of his congregation were known to us. Shortly after the war broke out, there being no service at Providence Chapel; a large number of Mr. Carr's people attended Kensington Episcopal Chapel, on the occasion of a special intercession service in relation to the war. Mr. and Mrs. Carr were called to pass through deep sorrow by the loss of two of their sons…

    The Life And Death Of Edward Carr

    On Jan. 10, 1920, Edward Carr, pastor of Providence Chapel, Bath, entered into rest. The removal by death of my late beloved husband came most mercifully. He had got out of bed about 12.30, and fallen asleep in his chair about 12.50 his head drooped, his spirit had fled. He was sitting with hands clasped, as was usual when he slept in his chair, and looking most peaceful, all the weariness gone, and a little smile around his eyes. I do not propose to give an account of my husband's life, as the earlier part was written by himself in the " Chronicles of a Chequered Pathway,"* and many, especially in Manchester and London, will have the memory of his sermons fresh in their minds.…

    The Life And Testimony Of Edward Carr

    The spiritually minded and Christ-exalting author of those monthly articles in this Magazine, bearing the title "The Loveliness of Christ," deserves a niche among the worthies whom—for the grace of God that is in them—we delight to honour, in so far as our Portrait page is concerned. "And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; and to esteem them very highly for their work's sake." There is a special pleasure in "knowing" the faithful servants of Christ, in features and by report, whom we have never met in the body. And it is one of the felt privileges of our own editorial position to introduce to our readers authentic likenesses of…

    The Life And Ministry Of Frederick Holden

    Dear Brother Winters,—At your repeated and special request, I send a few particulars respecting myself, for insertion in the Earthen Vessel & Gospel Herald. I was born into this world on June 5th, 1834, in the village of Brettenham, near Wattisham, Suffolk. When I was about three years old my parents removed to Rattlesden, where I lived with them until I was 16, attending the Baptist Chapel there, of which my grandfather, the late John Cooper, of Drinkstone, may be said to have been the founder. Both my parents were members of the Church meeting there, and my father, Michael Holden, was well known among the Churches in Suffolk for many years. I have nothing special to record in relation to my boyhood, except that…
