… a solution for their primary needs.
After tea, we were given a rousing sermon by D. K. Phillips of the Church Society who retraced much of the area covered by the sessions. After dinner there was a question and answer time which centred mainly on evolution. Evening Prayers included the Reformed Litany.
My own Thursday morning contribution was on ‘The Capitulation of the Church to Secularism’. Most of my points had been covered, so I concentrated more on giving a …

A Sketch of Covenant Truth and Its Witnesses
John E. Hazleton
I discovered a real gem in this morning’s post. It was a small, solidly-backed, well-illustrated book. I forgot my morning newspaper as I read through its pages. Rarely have I found such excellency packed into such a small space. Truth for Today has done their readers a great service by reprinting …
The annual Dutch Haamstede Conference, held in Garderen, which draws some 160 pastors, evangelists and teachers has become a spiritual home for me and a highlight of each year. The conferences I occasionally visit in Scandinavia, Germany, North America and England are edifying and instructive, but there is just nothing to compare with the deep spirituality, warm fellowship, eager …
A Review Article
The news that Carey Publications were to publish the lives of these three 17th century Baptists filled me with a feeling of hopeful expectancy. The three Ks have aided my own understanding of the ways of God immensely and I know from my correspondents that there is an awakened, wide-spread interest in them. Michael Haykin’s book thus comes at a most …
… and aldermen and was educated at Eton, Cambridge and Oxford, finishing his studies by gaining a D.D.. He married Mary Wilson, an Alderman’s daughter, and the couple were blessed with thirteen children. He was ordained Rector of Brinkworth in Wiltshire in the year 1627. It seems that Crisp entered the ministry as an unconverted man. His preaching was highly legalistic, emphasising good works as a means, rather than an outcome, of grace. Yet, he strove earnestly to glorify God in his life …

… provides salvation but man must apply it to his heart, are certainly not ‘Puritan’.
D.R. Woodridge on Richard Baxter’s social and economic teaching is a diplomatic move as, according to more than Jim Packer, Baxter’s theology is ‘disastrous’. Yet Baxter was as chameleon-like in politics as he was in theology. Woodridge stays clear of both Baxter’s extremes, presenting some sound socio-economic common sense on choosing an occupation, dealing with business and wealth, …
The ‘Enlightenment’ that brought a deluge of immorality
The French occupation of Germany under Napoleon’s Dictatorship caused political, social and religious unrest which lasted well into the present century. The Corsican upstart conscripted Germans and compelled them to suppress their fellow-countrymen or forfeit their lives. One man by the name of Oncken, a citizen of Varel …
What is a Baptist?
Aug 21
Dear Brethren,
Before I had the privilege of joining this symposium, I felt that I knew quite well what a Baptist church was. My simple definition was that a Baptist church consisted of a body of believers who had joined together in fellowship, chosen a pastor and deacons, preferably out of their own midst, and decided, on what they held to be Biblical grounds, to require water …

Portraits of Faithful Saints, Herman Hanko, Reformed Free Publishing Association, 1999.
When the postman called with my author’s copies of Mountain Movers , he also brought Herman Hanko’s similar book entitled Portraits of Faithful Saints . A peep into the Preface confirmed this similarity as Hanko, like myself, makes Heb. 12:1 ff. his starting point. Where I, however, …
