      PREFACE

      In placing this volume in the hands of his congregation, as a memorial of the centenary of Kensington Chapel, the writer has one or two words to say to them.  They will easily see that there is here no attempt to supersede Dr. Stoughton’s excellent and well-known history of our Church, entitled Congregationalism in the Court Suburb.  For all detail of our work, as well as for most delightful reminiscences of the ministers who laboured here, they are referred to Dr. Stoughton’s book.  The letterpress of this little book is an introduction to the pictures it contains, and it is an attempt to trace the rise and progress of the Church, rather than to dwell on the interesting features of individual ministries.  This has, as the writer feels, limited the interest of the book somewhat; but he relies largely on the illustrations to commend it to those who have some sympathy with the Church whose doings it briefly chronicles.  He has only to add that his best thanks are due to Mr. Sidney Davie, who has given him valued assistance in the reproduction of the photographs; and to Mr. Edward Spicer for very much co-operation in bringing out this memorial volume.  But especially is he indebted to the member of the congregation, whose name he may not mention, who so kindly wrote the notice of the three and a half years of the present ministry.

      Kensington, April, 1893.

      I—FORMING THE CHURCH

      There is but little of the romance of history associated with the story of the Nonconformity of the last hundred years.  The Free Churches that arose in England a century ago began with all the advantages of toleration.  Their members were not objects of persecution, and the chapels that formed their local habitations had no longer to be built in obscure courts that testified to the unpopularity, and possibly the irregularity, of their existence.  Churches that have such an inheritance as ours lose, no doubt, much of the stimulus which those enjoy that have great traditions of heroism and fidelity through stern seasons of suffering for conscience’ sake.  In the absence of such stirring pages from our history, we may well be thankful that so much remains which we may regard with especial gratitude to God, in the consistently true and honourable service rendered to the cause of Christ through four generations by the ministers and members of our Church.  The story of Kensington Chapel for the hundred years of its history has been that of a succession of able and devoted ministers, supported by a Church of consecrated men and women, who have not unworthily represented the best traditions of the Nonconformity of the last century.  Neither
