My dear Friend, Mr. Hoadley, I am much obliged to you for your kind remembrance of us in sending us your acceptable present, and I would have been glad to have thanked you in person, had you given me the opportunity yesterday, or looked in upon me this morning. Like many others, you probably did not expect to see me in the pulpit yesterday, and indeed, as I then said, I would… Read More
My dear Friend, Mr. Godwin, I have been so very busy of late that I have been obliged to neglect my correspondents, and among them my old, faithful, and affectionate friend, to whom I am now endeavoring to send a few lines. Writing, however, is but a very imperfect mode of communicating with our spiritual friends. There is always something which we should like to say, but cannot, and which we could… Read More
My dear Friends in the Lord, Mrs. Peake and Miss Morris, In my prayers for you both, I feel led to ask of the Lord to give you faith and patience, for these two graces you much need in active and daily exercise. But that you may have them brought into your heart and there maintained with a divine power, tribulation is needed, for tribulation works patience (Rom. 5:3), as well as… Read More
My dear Friend, Mrs. Peake, I walk every day when I can, and usually to the same spot, which is more than a mile from my house, to the top of a gentle hill, where there is a seat under a wide-spreading oak and commanding a lovely view of hill and dale, the latter wooded; and there I sit in the warm sun, sometimes meditating or otherwise engaged, perhaps not unprofitably, with… Read More
“Accepted in the Beloved.”(Ephesians 1:6) ———————————————— Such precious words as these, appear too full of glorious grace for “a poor vile sinner” like me to take upon my lips. I say not this to produce effect, or to awaken any fleshly sensation in your minds, for I know that such productions last only for the moment, and pulpit effects, arising from the flesh and the devil, will perish with the experience of… Read More

My dear sister Fanny, I am sorry to find from your letter that you are still so afflicted in body. I was in hopes you were gradually recovering health and strength, and, though weak, were able to come down stairs, or even get out into the open air. Unless much favored and supported by God, bodily illness is a great affliction; but you know where to look to for strength, and who… Read More
My dear Friend, Mrs. Peake, Having now a little respite from my labours, and an opportunity not being likely soon to recur to write to you again, I send you a few lines according to your request. You will be desirous to know how my health is, especially as the season has been so very trying. In common, then, with most who are weak, I much felt the great heat, especially as… Read More
Is there anything in the Bible that specifically refers to the United States insofar as the future of this world is concerned? There is nothing in the Bible that indicates or names the United States. While it is true that God does name historic nations like Egypt and Israel, He does not name any modern nation. It certainly does not name Russia or China or the United States or Germany, or any… Read More
The Timing of the Rapture! In many Christian circles there is a popular theological view which states that the Church must somehow be taken out of the world before the Great Tribulation period. Sadly this doctrine has become one of the most predominant views in the Church. This form of theology is the product of spurious dogma that over the years has been taught relentlessly. It is not supported by sound Biblical… Read More

Christian Reader, — Thou art here presented with another discourse on the old subject, which I believe will ever be the controversy of Zion as long as freeborn sons and bond children are together. It began between Cain and Abel; it appeared in Noah’s family; in Sarah and Hagar, Ishmael and Isaac; between Esau and Jacob; between the apostle and the Jewish scribes; and it will be ended when the lamp of… Read More

Dear Friend in the Truth, I expressed in my last letter my inability to accept the kind invitation of the church to come among you, so as to have the opportunity of conversing with you upon your present trying circumstances.

My dear sister Fanny. It is now some time since I sent you a few lines, but we often hear of one another through the correspondence of our dear relatives.

My dear Friend, James Davis. I am sorry that you should have experienced so heavy a loss; but I have found myself more than once, when I have been calculating on some increase of income or some temporal advantage, that a sudden stroke has come and swept it away.

In a sequestered village in Rutland called Braunston on February the 16th, 1803 William Tiptaft was born of Yeoman stock. His parents “designed him for the Church” and he became a Curate to Treborough in Somerset 1826. It was, however, a year after (January 1827) when divine life entered his soul. By 1829 God had convinced him of the truth of the doctrines of Election and Free Sovereign Grace. From his new… Read More
This remarkable minister rose to great prominence and popularity from the humblest possible beginnings. Son of a country day labourer, William was wild and dissolute in his early days.

For some years his work was that of a coal heaver, and the most vivid and interesting account of his life is to be found in several of his works especially in… Read More
My dear Friends, Mrs. Peake and Miss Morris, We were highly favored in our journey home, not only in the day, but in the comfort of the transit, being by ourselves all the way, and passing from Leicester to London by the new line without once stopping.

My dear and much esteemed Friend, Mrs. Peake I have often admired the spirit in which Mr. ____ acted when he had to curtail his expenses. He said the question was whether he should give up two extra carriage horses, or give up his donations for various religious end benevolent objects, and he at once preferred the former course. What we are enabled to give to the Lord’s cause and the Lord’s… Read More
My dear Friend, Joseph Parry, You have been very kind in communicating to me the tidings of our dear friend Miss Wild’s death.

My dear Friend, Thomas Godwin, I have often thought what a mercy it is that the people of God are not dependent upon one another for the supplies of grace whereby they live unto God. The ministry is useful, the conversation of friends is useful, correspondence by letter on the precious things of God is often useful, and from each and all of these we have derived or communicated profit. But how… Read More
