… in a Last Supper scene surrounding Keir Hardie as a type of Christ. Was golden-penned Sonia Hill, who has been a great instrument for good in my life, rejecting her womanhood by complaining that the only weakness apparent in a male author on the American Puritans was that he could have depicted the every day life of the times? Surely not! Mr Mead fears that no woman may comment on any man and that we must recall all our female missionaries, sack all our female teachers, burn books …

… rid of every single inhabitant and their property and land given to English plunderers. Wow! Hill compares Cromwell’s ‘butchering’ of troops and civilians to Hiroshima. Wow again!
Much of Mr Johnson’s description of Charles is equally applicable to Cromwell, though in his contempt of Parliament and the Established Churches, Cromwell was demonstrably more extreme than Charles. Johnson accurately describes the dilemma Cromwell created for himself and Parliament but this …
… his shocking treatment of sound men such as Hervey, Toplady, Erskine, Cennick, Cudworth and the Hill brothers. Murray tells us that it is not his task to enquire into these things. Thus we are only permitted to see Wesley at his Sunday best, with Murray polishing up Wesley’s own down-to-earth accounts to make them more spiritual and gentlemanlike.
Between the lines, we learn that Methodism spread by poaching where Calvinists had already evangelized. Oddly enough, in his conclusion …

Reflections on Some Recent Banner of Truth Criticisms Regarding William Huntington and Avarice
Aug 17
… beginning of his ministry but this was rapidly doubled. This was not an unusual amount. Rowland Hill, the only London pastor who could compete in numbers received half to a third more salary than Huntington. James Hervey (1714-1758) received £180 per year and also the profits from a farm which had been in the family for generations. In spite of his popularity, Hervey’s congregations was only half that of Huntington’s. Pastors in patronised livings, however, often received between £600 …
Robert Oliver on Huntington
Aug 15
… what might happen to him, has the nerve to state that “Dr. Ella... has to admit that Rowland Hill the most persistent critic outlived Huntington” (p.19). He then gives a page reference to back up this slip of the tongue where Hill is not even mentioned. No such statement or hint occurs anywhere in my book! In fact, I stress that Huntington always respected Hill more than his other critics. Here Oliver is obviously insinuating that I grudgingly have to face the fact that Hill did not …
… them for funds for the Baptist mission. This reminds one of the questionable method of Roland Hill who begged money from Huntington’s members for his own church yet denounced them as ‘Antinomians’. Religions built on a relative understanding of law are bound to remain hypocritical where no enlightenment by grace is present. Carey, however, was different. He journeyed to India only after receiving the assurance that he would be able, like Paul, to pay his own way through combining …
… which he freely distributed. Very soon, Oncken saw fruit for his labours. He lodged in Ludgate Hill with the sixteen-year-old servant of a drunkard American merchant with whom he shared the gospel. After a few days, the boy professed Christ as his Saviour. Many such fruitful endeavours on the part of Oncken moved The Continental Society to appoint Oncken as their missionary to Germany and he departed for work there in Hamburg on December 16th, 1823. His membership in a London Independent …
