Memoir of the Rev. Edward Bickersteth: Volume 1

The name of the Rev. Edward Bickersteth is too widely known, and too deeply loved and honoured, for the present Memoir to require a lengthened introduction. It has been undertaken in compliance with his request, made afl Tectionately and solemnly in the course of his last illness. He said that the publicity to which God had called him in the sight of His church, would render it needful that some account of his life should appear; and committed it jointly to myself, and my beloved wife, his eldest child; with an earnest charge that the sinful creature should be put in its right place of humility and nothingness, and the Saviour alone be exalted. Soon afterwards he remarked, still alluding to the same subject, Let it be made clear, that my only ground of confidence is the Lord Jesus Christ Christ first, Christ last, Christ all in all.
