I got copies of two missing booklets of T. Oliver. I put all booklets together as a complete book:

The cover sheet was created by myself. I put the 10 lists of contents after the cover sheet. The covers of the booklets are at the end.

There was another "Thomas Oliver" who is mentioned in a footnote on page 221 and 222 of "The Gospel Messenger" 30 (year: 1915). See here:
https://www.cw-archive.org/de/magazines/TGM/30#221
This footnote tells us: "On 16th July {1915}, after a very short illness, he passed into the eternity of which he wrote so warningly to the unsaved. . . .We knew the writer well. He was, when a young man, very sceptical, and judged God very hardly. God's answer to this was by giving him a deep sense of his own sin, and then saving him very blessedly. From that hour he began to serve the Lord devotedly, and follow Him fully. He was 'a man of God,' whose Christ-like life is an imperishable heirloom to his family, and an inspiring example to the saints of God. His last words of gospel to the unsaved will be much blessed of God, we are persuaded, for by them he 'being dead, yet speaketh.' "
My question: Is there any relation of this Thomas Oliver (+ 1915) with the "Dr. Thomas Oliver" (+1946) of Galashiels?
