Filio satis amplum patrimonium memoriam mei nominis relinquo. CICERO. PREFACE BUT for the pleasant duty of thanking those who have helped me in my work, I should not have encumbered Life of Dale v1.qxp:Life of R.W. Dale 12 06 2009 17:23 Page 6 6 life of dr. dale this memoir with a preface. As something must be said, may I add a few words of personal explanation? Let me say at once that the burden of the biographer was one from which I shrank. The sin of Ham lies as an open pit in the way of any son who writes his father’s life; and the determination not to say too much may easily lead him to say too little. Had it been possible, therefore, I should have left the task to others. But it soon appeared that the friends—they were but few—who might have undertaken the work were fully occupied in other duties, and that if any memoir were to be written I must write it. And so, accepting a responsibility that I should never have sought, I have tried to discharge it as best I could. The shortcomings, of which I am only too conscious, would have been even greater than they are but for the kindness of those who have come to my aid. The inherent difficulties were increased by special causes. My father kept no diary, except for two or three short periods far on in life. The men with whom he was most closely associated in public work he met every week. He was in London so often that he had no need to write at length about questions of lasting interest to Dr. Allon, Dr. Guinness Rogers, and his other friends. His inner vi life, between the earlier and the later years, he kept to himself. He lived before the world—or alone. It was not until he was withdrawn from active service that he recorded, save in public utterance, the spiritual experiences through which he was passing. My mother, had she been living, would have been able to add many personal details; but her sudden and tragic death, eighteen months ago, has left me without the help that she alone could give. Adequately to express my obligations to all who have assisted me is impossible. I have to thank Dr. Guinness Rogers, Dr. Fairbairn, Mr. Barber, the Rev. Philip Barker, and Mr. Mander for the portions that they have re- spectively contributed to this volume, and my friend Dr. Forsyth for many valuable suggestions, and for most Life of Dale v1.qxp:Life of R.W. Dale 12 06 2009 17:23 Page 7 proof-reading draft 7 generous help in the labour of revision. I am greatly indebted to those who have furnished me with letters, and have allowed me to use them; in many cases, letters that are not printed have been of material service in fixing dates, and in supplying details. Those friends whose names are not included in this list must not imagine that my gratitude is as scanty as my space. TRINITY HALL, CAMBRIDGE, 10th October 1898. NOTE TO THE SECOND EDITION I regret to find that some expressions on pages 614, 615 have given pain to one of my father’s most loyal friends. Nothing could have been further from my mind than to suggest that the article in the British Weekly was a deliberate or a discourteous attack on a helpless invalid. While demurring to the writer’s conclusions, I heartily acknowledge the large-hearted spirit in which he wrote, and the generous consideration with which he closed the controversy as soon as he discovered the harm that it might involve.

ROBERT WILLIAM DALE was born in London on 1st December 1829. His father, Robert Dale, was a native of Booking, a village about a mile from Braintree in Essex. There, and at Coggeshall, the family had been settled for a considerable time. The original stock cannot be traced, but it is certain that the Dales had a strain of foreign blood in them. When the Flemings, driven from the Continent by religious persecution, took refuge in England, many of them established themselves in Essex, bringing their crafts and industries with them. Braintree was the centre of a large and important colony, and they inter- married with many of the families in the neighbour- hood—probably with the Dales among the number. It is possible that the family was connected with Samuel Dale of Bocking, the intimate friend of John Ray, the famous naturalist, himself distinguished by his scientific researches.. He began life as an apothecary at Braintree, but in 1730 he became a physician, continuing to practise in the same district. His contributions to Ray’s most important works, and his own “Pharmacologia,” published in 1690, together with other scientific treatises, secured his election to the Fellowship of the Royal Society.

  • The Theological Socialism of the Labour Church
    ‘SO PECULIARLY ITS OWN’ THE THEOLOGICAL SOCIALISM OF THE LABOUR CHURCH by NEIL WHARRIER JOHNSON A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Theology and Religion School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham May 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The thesis argues that the most distinctive feature of the Labour Church was Theological Socialism. For its founder, John Trevor, Theological Socialism was the literal Religion of Socialism, a post-Christian prophecy announcing the dawn of a new utopian era explained in terms of the Kingdom of God on earth; for members of the Labour Church, who are referred to throughout the thesis as Theological Socialists, Theological Socialism was an inclusive message about God working through the Labour movement. By focussing on Theological Socialism the thesis challenges the historiography and reappraises the significance of the Labour

SPURGEON Book Page iii Friday, June 8, 2001 2:22 PM Preface Spurgeon was steeped in and fashioned by the writings and principles of the Puritans and can only be understood in their light. This book, therefore, makes no apology for presenting him as “heir of the Puri- tans.” In his preaching of Christ, in his controversies, and in his per- sonal life, he would not have been what he was without them. In the Sermons there are embedded many autobiographical glimpses of the Prince of Preachers, and I have garnered not a few for this book. I was brought up in the Spurgeon tradition. My parents knew Spurgeon well and were often at his house in their younger days. Many were the stories about him told in our family.

  • John Angell James, of Carr's Lane, Birmingham
    JOHN ANGELL JAMES, OF CARR’S LANE, BIRMINGHAM When John Angell James was born in 1785 in the small Dorset town of Blandford, Dissenters were still no more than second-class citizens in England. University education and public office were alike closed to them. The outbreak of the French Revolution added fear to prejudice. They were hated as enemies of the English Constitution, for some of the more radical amongst them had declared their admiration of Revolution principles. The rapid increase of their numbers during this period further alarmed the clergy and sharpened the antagonism. (In 1772 there had been 380 Congregational churches while in 1822 there were nearly 800). Their close alliance with the Wigs made them a political force which was to grow formidable during the next 50 years. The Evangelical Revival had brought new life to the Dissenters as well as to the established Church. It shook them out of their pietism, and brought through their doors both converts and inquirers. It softened their high Calvinism and gave them a new missionary spirit. In 1795 Congregationalists joined with other Evangelicals to form the London Missionary Society, and they gave great support to the British and Foreign Bible Society founded in 1805. Angell James himself was to play a notable part in the rapid growth of the Congregational Churches over the next fifty years and in the advocacy of the missionary enterprise. For the work which he would have to do, nature had equipped him well. He had a warm heart, a beautiful voice and the gift of eloquence.

Sell . 232 EDITORIAL This issue ranges from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries and it illustrates the transition from orthodox to evangelical Dissent and thence to liberal evangelicalism. The Christian community is the common denominator, with some emphasis on its education and its ministry. The focus is local because it is Dissenting but everywhere is local at some point and the coverage here is Welsh, Scottish and metropolitan as well as provincial English. Nabil Matar is Professor of English at Florida Institute ofTechnology. His paper was originally delivered at the international conference, "Peace, Unification and Prosperity: the Advancement of Learning in the Seventeenth Century", held at the University of Sheffield in July 1992 to mark the end of the first phase of the Hartlib Papers Project. Edwin Welch, though resident in British Columbia, is the Cheshunt College Foundation's Honorary Archivist; it is a short step from the Countess of Huntingdon to Viscountess Glenorchy, and he brings to light a document not unknown but quite unused.

  • David Bogue and the Gosport Academy Noel Gibbard
    David Bogue and the Gosport Academy Noel Gibbard David Bogue (1750-1825),' a native of Berwickshire, moved to London in 1771, and in 1777 was ordained as a Congregational minister at Gosport, Hampshire, where he served until his death. Gosport was a port of 5,000 inhabitants, very cosmopolitan in character as the Dutch, English, Welsh, Scots and the French mingled together. For many of them it was a port of call, but a number settled down there, and Bogue must have welcomed with open arms those who came from his native country, the families of Geddes, Campbell, McLeod and McDonald.2 In 1789, after a period of twelve busy years, Bogue received the first three students to prepare for the ministry of the Word. In 1800 the academy came under the auspices of the London Missionary Society. This work of ministerial training was made possible through the kindness of George Welch,3 a wealthy London banker, with the help of two other gentlemen. Welch was concerned with the spread of the gospel and was one of the principal supporters of the 'Societas Evangelica'. In a discussion with William Jay, Welch lamented the presence of an 'unregenerate ministry' and was moved to support students under the care of three ministers in three different places, David Bogue of Gosport being one of them.4 The tutor was to be paid ten pounds a year for each student during a three year course. After Welch's death, others carried on the good work, and were anxious to enlarge the academy at Gosport.
