      We were working on some music things for our Church, so when we were discussing "What a Freind We have in Jesus", I looked to see if it originated in our Church. So my interest in Joseph Medlicott Scriven led me to your site. Such an inspirational man to have been part of your Church! And, what a treasure your site is to your Faith Community to assemble this and the rest of your history together! Thank you

      I was reached and saved through the Brethern Movement in July of 1971. The preacher was Robert Surgenor. He is still living and around 94 years old. . I left the Brethern in September of 1991. I am glad for all i learned and the many people I met. I guess the main reason we left was some of the extreme legalism and they way they treated people who were different. I even visited an exclusive assembly for the experience. When they realized i was from a regular assembly of Brthern they treated me with outright disdain. I also visited what was called a Chapel Assembly. I had a much better reception and they would have received me but they were to far from where I lived. I am now in a nondenominational church and serving God as a teacher and a gospel preacher in a number of prisons near where i live. Please respond to me. I would be interested in knowing who is behind this web site.

      Thank you so much for this wonderful resource it is such a treasure. I have been slowly collecting these works in print but many are so hard to find. God Bless you for your dedication to this vital and important piece of Christian history. I am currently reading A History of The Brethern Movement by F.Roy Coad which talks about many of these authors. Our Brethern Chapel was started in February 2020 so the work goes on. Our congregation has only the 3 founding members who have any brethern experience, the rest are all new converts or had given up on institutional church altogether. Yours in His service Glen Cullen www.wbible.nz

      While researching my East Kilbride Paterson family tree I stumbled on "Modern prophetesses; women preachers in the nineteenth century Scottish Brethren" and read about Mary Paterson - what a remarkable woman. I knew of her first cousin Matthew Paterson (1839 - 1935) who was chaplain at Glasgow Royal Infirmary for 35 years and I have wondered how he became involved in a religious vocation, when his brothers and sisters worked as labourers or farmers. I would love to get more information about Mary Paterson, her work in Africa and wonder if there was a photo of her.

      This is a great depository of knowledge! I like to add that most Christians that I know prefer much earlier publications and somehow look down on the learned old works. I point out to them that their libraries contain the works of Calvin and Luther and the sermons of Spurgeon. I am not by any means slighting the works of modern Christians; but I believe the latter rides on the shoulders of the old masters.

    • Chuck Youngerman from West Virginia said ...
      The reason for my post is I'm doing a study on the pre-tribulation rapture beginnings started by Jesuit named Manual De Lakunza, also known as Juan Josafat Ben Ezra. Who wrote a book titled the coming of the Messiah glory and Majesty. His work was then translated by a man named Edward Irving. I'm very interested in the learning is this where the Plymouth brethren was held, where John Nelson Darby, who has been deemed the father of the pre-tribulation rapture doctrine. This is really interesting subject for me because I do not believe there's a pre-tribulation rapture, it's not in Scripture and wondered why these men would hold meetings to discuss not only a rapture before the tribulation but also replacement theology where God would rapture the church and then deal with the Jews. Which I believe today are eskenazi Jews or is the Bible States and Revelation 2:9, they called themselves Jews but are not juice but of the synagogue of Satan.

      I have been working on writing a book about the rapture question for about eight years now and, of course, finally came upon John Darby's role in this subject. Hence, my visit to your website, which I find very interesting. However, I do not know who exactly "you" are. I came across the name of "Tom" in one series of blogs, but no last name, nor could I discover it by visiting other pages of this website. It would be helpful if the attendant of the various blogs would identify himself somewhere in the process.

So, I may be expanding my look at your site in the near future. I have a question. Under B.W. Newton, in the list of his materials, there are some items that require login. I looked for a place to create an account but could not find. Would you please direct me? Thanks!

      Thank-you Currently reading David Wilkerson's book, Hungry For More of Jesus, and he referenced JB Stoney. "I have in my library twelve volumes by J.B. Stoney, a devout writer among Plymouth Breathen. Every volumes centers on Christ---thousands upon thousands of pages extolling the beauty of our Lord and His ministry as A Man in Glory. In devouring these precious books, I find myself continually humbled and challenged by this brother who was written so much on the single subject of the glory of Christ." 1st paragraph of Preface to Hungry For More of Jesus, by David Wilkerson The Quietness of Communion, by JB Stoney ... is balm to my spirit and soul. Thank-you, again. David Tresham

      Re Your article at: https://www.brethrenarchive... THIS COMMENT IS MORE OF A PRAYER REQUEST FOR ALL OF US WHO HAVE BEEN NEGATIVELY AFFECTED BY LESS GODLY BRETHREN CHRISTIAN "CULTS" I reviewed your very enlightening article, early this a.m. I was brought up with the Plymouth Brethren "Taylorites" or "Exclusives". My first exposure started in Burnley, England. In 1953, when I was 7, my parents, John Mathison (2007) and Nan (1995) , siblings William & Rosemary (1997) emigrated to Toronto, Canada. My paternal grandfather, also Gordon, followed us from Liverpool, 4 years later. Unfortunately, the Taylorites (aka PB's or Exclusives), became less about the New Testament, the love of Jesus and more about the Old, i.e., The Law or, Legalism. When brethren started turning against each other - sometimes siimply due to differing opinions - both my father, John and my Grandpa, Gordon left "the Meeting" in the early 60's. Another very sad corollary was that our family, along with other ostrasized "dissidents", lost a huge chunk of our social network. This was the glue upon which the PB's relied to keep its members "in tow". I now, in 2023, live in B.C., Canada with my wife, Donna and 1 of my twin daughters, her hubby and 3 grands. Whereas I still believe, my faith has been very tested from my association with The Brethren in my early, formative years until now when I'm in my 78th year. So, I would beseech you to pray for me, my family and all those who have been scarred by similar loveless, legalistic Brethren "Cults".

      Realised I had not got CMH 'Leviticus' while studying Numbersch14/15. Today mankind has thrown away the goodness and grace of God's providence in declaring a bann on 'the land's' resources which have been promised for our creature benefits, as a result western culture is about to be plunged in to 'wilderness' conditions which will last at least a generation (unless Christ returns), such is the judgment of God on unbelief. The man who collected sticks on the Sabbath, given for man's blessing was the first to come under this judgment.

I really enjoy reading the english version of J. N. Darby's bible translation. I have been trying find a complete audio version of this bible. I have looked for a complete version that I can buy and own, including the OT, but I have not found one. Please let me know if you have one, know of one or are in the process of recording one. I am sure that I would not be the only one happy to purchase an audio version from your site. May God, our Father, bless your work, Amen

      Your website, especially under "people" has been a large help in that I have on my own compiled two lists in excel spreadsheets, one for authors and the other of identification of initials. In these lists, I have been putting the year born/died, or if not known, an approximate year they were actively writing books/pamphlets. Getting some middle names from your list has been helpful. I am willing to share these lists, but hesitate to include a column of identifying what brethren these authors were identified with. I am thankful to be able to meet with brethren and am most familiar with those who rely upon Bible Truth Publishers in Addison, IL. I understand you have even visited there, including their 2nd hand bookroom upstairs. In reviewing your people list, I find just a few things that could/should be added to or fixed. One thing lately I find in your listing for Henri Louis Rossier is that you only show a few of his books, whereas you could find more sold by Believers Bookshelf on the historical books, etc. I appreciate your efforts very much.

      I am a Prison Preacher since 1986 and a salesman. I preach mainly in California State Prisons as a Volunteer Protestant Chaplain. In 1986, a State Chaplain at Folsom Prison asked me as he was interviewing me to take messages at the Grey Stone Chapel on the Yard on Saturday evenings once a month. As I went into the office where he was sitting at his desk, I sat before him as he began to ask his first question. "Andrew where do you attend Church?" As I was sitting before him, I noticed his wall behind him from top to bottom of exhaustive commentaries some first editions, my answer to him was " I noticed you have a beautiful library and I noticed some names of which I am well acquainted with, like Harry Ironsides, FW Grant, JN Darby and the Bible Treasury along with CH Mackintosh, so to answer your question I go where they went" He looked at me with a huge smile, "your with the brethren?" Yes I replied. He then began telling me a story of how he (Chaplain Dietsler) came to Christ from the street preaching of Harry Ironsides. He said to me, "You can preach here anytime you like"

      I was privileged to be able to hear the gospel at a young age through Sunday School work at Birtchcliff Gospel Hall in Toronto, Ontario. I trusted Christ as my Saviour in July 1960 at the age of 10. I progressed spiritually and have been preaching the gospel for over 45 years as a commended worker here. I will access your website more fully and frequently in the days to come, Lord-willing. We await His anticipated soon return.

I am not unaware of certain requirements regarding the writers of said materials and would understand this sites imposing certain restrictions, one would almost be surprised if they did not, however there does not seem to be any field to fill in so as to effect a sign in or up.

I have been going through some of my old documents and came across "The Believers Pathway" dated January 1934, with him on the cover. I believe it was his obituary. I also have a handwritten manuscript book with over 300 of his hymns. I was wondering if you would like any copies of these documents? I would be very happy to forward them to you and fill in any information about him. Kind regards, Christine

      I think it's just that the page numbering is confusing .. ie there was probably a flyleaf page or two in the orginal that were empty and not included in the scan, so the first 'real' page is number 3 (which doesn't have a number inscribed on it). Cp. https://www.stempublishing.com/magazines/bt/BT12/1879_250_Neutrality.html looks to be the nothing missing.

      Historically I find the site interesting but I have some reservations about such a publication. The breakup of the Brethren movement is one of the saddest episodes in the history of the church on earth. Instead of savouring the past failures, should we not be on our knees before the Lord and weeping as Jeremiah wept? Does it really matter what brother X wrote to brother Y in 1863? Are we meant to be drawn into the arguments that went on then? Should it not be all buried and put out of site? I'm sure that's what the Lord in His mercy has done. FER, reviled as he may be, made two very cogent statements: 1. I do not expect anyone to agree with what I say = they are my own thoughts; and 2. We are NOT a company, and more to that effect. And think how many so-called companies of Brethren, each claiming to be the right one, litter our western world. So what is the KLG group? Nothing.

I'm in the process of recording audiobooks of some of the brethren's writings, and working from OCR'ed copies on Bible Truth Publishers web site. But from time to time, I need to resolve a question of what is there, because of an evident error. Coming here, and looking at the originals (so to speak), I can resolve the questions without making assumptions, however obvious the answer may seem to be. Thank you. By the way, if you would like to listen to some of these recordings yourself, feel free to visit http://www.PresentTruthPublishers.com/audio.html. Have a good and blessed day!

    • Syd Warren from Cape Town, South Africa said ...
      I have used and appreciated this resource for many years; thank you Tom for your generous service and “ministry.” I think that those who use the website know that it’s a reservoir of “brethren” writings. If it doesn’t suit some, there are many other sites with excellent material. So, may I respond to the remarks left by “1 from 3” (23 Feb 2013), simply to highlight a biblical truth concerning “types of brethren,” or the denominations, or Christendom in general, with its varied forms of belief and worship. His (1 from 3) plea is to “get out” (from the brethren) so that “the Holy Spirit may truly set you free.” In case I miss the point, let me quote William Kelly (recognised as one of the greatest spiritual minds) from his commentary on Judges (I apologise for a lengthy quote, but how poignantly true): “In it (Judges) we are given to see the failure of the people of God to retain even what they had actually conquered; still more to press on in the acquisition of that which Jehovah designed for them. In both we have what clearly answers on the one hand to the blessing in which God has set Christians, and on the other to the ways in which the enemy has contrived to rob them of their just portion in the enjoyment of the Lord. This no doubt is a humbling lesson; but it is unspeakably gracious that God has given it to us in His word. In short the Spirit of God has set out very clearly in the New Testament the departure from their own proper privileges of those that had been brought into blessing. It has even shown us, with the greatest fullness and care, the ways in which Satan gained the advantage over those that bore the name of Christ. Who can fail to notice divine wisdom in the fact that the worst features that were afterwards to appear in Christendom should be then manifest before the eye, not indeed of all saints, but of the Spirit of God. For this simple reason it is now only unbelief or negligence of Scripture that can be surprised. Let the shadows of coming evil be ever so filled out by developing facts, still they only verify the word of our God. Thus the confirmation of the word, being thus borne out not only in the good that God has imparted but in the havoc that the enemy has wrought among those that call on the name of the Lord, really turns when learned from God, into a very solemn warning, and the increasing vigilance of the saint, by making him feel the wisdom and the goodness of God in separating us — a thing always in its own nature repulsive, and naturally so to one who loves the saints unless there were an absolute call for it and confidence in His grace, whose will it is when unity is perverted to His own dishonour. Granted that there are those to whom separation is no trial. They are not to be envied. It ought to be a sore trial which nothing justifies but the stern and solemn sense that we owe it to Christ — nay, further (as is always the case, what we owe to Christ being the best thing for the saints of God), not only a necessary course for our own souls in allegiance to the Lord, but a warning due to those ensnared by the enemy. Do we truly desire the blessing of all the children of God? Who does not that loves the Lord Jesus? Must we not pursue, if it were only for their sakes, that which is most according to Christ? That which will be most salutary for them under such circumstances will surely be to show them the danger of desiring paths which they might too lightly tread — the paths of ease and yielding to the world, where Christ is unknown, forsaking what is true and holy to God's glory. ‘By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.’"

I was able to download GH Lang’s book to read and started it, but when I came back to it, I couldn’t download to continue reading it. Any advice what to do? Thanks

      . Thank you so much for putting this site together the benefit, encouragement and instruction from these brethren is not adequately appreciated by Believers in this present day. I am however one who does see the immense value of what the Lord showed these brothers in time past. I pray that their insight into the supremacy of Christ and the place of the assembly will be recaptured as our Salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. Thanks again for your labor. Do not grow weary in doing it. It is not in vain and you will one day reap a reward for your efforts. If you know any believers in the United States that are looking for others to fellowship with please let me know how I may contact them or you can pass on my email address. It would be awesome if they lived anywhere near the Midwest part of the country but I would take anything. For the glory and fame of the name, Tim

The author was himself associated with Brethren and the book contains a chapter on the Spiritual life of the Island. Names mentioned as early brethren coming to the Island include: B C Greenman, Christopher Knapp, Hugh Campbell, John Campbell, August Van Ryn, Robert Stratton, Mr Stebbins, A H Stewart & son Sam Stewart, Walter Kendrick, and James Frazer. He mentions open air Gospel meetings in the late 1890’s and a Gospel Hall built in 1902. There are also sketches of the various places of worship on the Island.

      I love this site. I was born in China of American parents who were " under auspices' of what is called Christian Missions in Many Lands. Unfortunately, they had to leave quickly when Mao's well trained gunmen appeared. About 20 years later, my Dad(and Mom and sister) went to Hong Kong to work with a person who had been a part of the group that left China in 1949. Unfortunately, he learned very quickly that CMML is not a body of oversight. The assembly that commented this other person, who collected Gold bars, had a restaurant in Seattle ETC. had actually never been seen in the field by his commenders. He separated quickly and I still keep in contact with a couple of the girls with whom they shared the mysteries of English, as the spoken language.

      Some will have come across my website http://adayofsmallthings.com ADOSS is mainly dedicated to taking the writings of John Nelson Darby, and rewriting them, with God’s help in a shorter, simpler way.  As you will be aware Darby was used of God to revive Christians’ understanding that the Lord’s assembly was heavenly in origin and destiny: that His body here belonged to Him there.  He was also used to awaken believers as to the rapture of the church, whereas there had been so much confusion as to His second coming.  Also, looking at the public side of the church, after resigning his position as a vicar in the established church, he found that the Christian’s place in the ruined state of Christendom was to keep faithful to the Lord, finding a few he could meet with, without making any sectarian claims.

    • John Conover from La Mesa, CA said ...
      I was with Kelly-Lowe brethren for many years, but no longer for about 25 years. I was born into the west Philadelphia meeting in 1930. I am the grandson of R W Knapp, who was a laboring brother with that group. The assembly moved to East Lansdowne. Later I helped start an assembly in Burlington, NJ. I moved to California in 1982. Since then we have had continuous Bible studies in our home. I am interested in finding a pamphlet by R J Little which was shown to me about 1954, in which he stated that it was unscriptural for an assembly to break off from another. Can you help me find this pamphlet? Thank you for any attention you can give. Your in Christ - John H Conover

      Great site, Tom. Many of the articles I've read are very interesting. Thanks for all the hard work you've put into this. May the Lord give all of us the discernment to hold fast and profit from what is good and holy and true, and yet to discard that which is unhelpful and would hinder.

      We own the Old Meeting House which was used as a Plymouth Brethern Meeting place from 1949 through to 1956, Mr William Gladwell owned our house and he and his wife were both Plymouth Brethern. We never met them when we purchased the house in 1979 as Mrs Gladwell had passed and Mr Gladwell was in a nursing home. He was a printer who worked in Guildford. I am really interested on any information you give us on the Old Meeting House it was called The Mission Hall The Street West Clandon. It is in your meeting books from 1949 through to 1957. Mr Gladwell had this house built in 1953, the Mission Hall was a cottage on the 1841 census through to 1991 when it was listed as Church Hall. I do not know the history from the 1991 period through to 1949 but would be very pleased to know if you have any further information. For some reason it is not listed in the Guildford information on the area.

      Hello there, stumbled across your web site. Very good. I used to be in contact with Edwin Cross until he died. I used to hunt out the graves of many Brethren. Once I found them I sent Edwin copies of my photographs. I have a collection of 5,500+ pictures of the graves of a whole variety of people. Spent many an hour in West Norwood finding many famous people .. could never find Cronin or Reader Harris even though I had their grave numbers. In Bristol I uncovered the graves of Henry Craik, Anthony Norris Groves and Mrs Peters the hymn writer.Of course G.Muller is there as well as James Wright (his son-in-law). Could keep you entertained for hours. .... and on and on it could go. Would you know where G.H.Lang is buried and E.H.Broadbent ? Thanks, David.

      Hi David, Thanks for your message .. looks like you have outdone me on the grave-hunting then! Would be interested to hear more about your collection of photos, who is buried where, etc? Cronin I thought was relatively easy to find .. well I suppose it actually took me twenty minutes or so within the square when I first found it, even with the exact map, but when you do find it, it seems obvious! I haven't been to Bristol yet, but been on my to-do list for the last seven years lol! Don't know about Lang or Broadbent, but will look into it. best, Tom

      I want to view some of your documents and have not been able to log in through Google. One option seems to be to email you and ask for a custom log in. So, please, may I have one? I am a family history researcher, and it came to my attention that John Nelson Darby had been holding Brethren meetings in the lower Ottawa Valley in around 1868. A document I read said that Mr. Darby and a Captain James Dunlop organized these meetings, along with an otherwise unidentified Mr. Turner. My great grandfather Hugh Turner was a fervent Brethren member, lived in this area in 1868, and converted most of his family to the Brethren faith. I suspect he may have become involved in organizing these meetings. Hence my wish to look at some of your documents. Thank you if you allow me to view them. And cheers from Canada! Brenda Turner

    • Greg from Oz said ...
      Hi Tom Do you have any biographical info on J S Oliphant? I came across two snippets recently that may help a researcher. A little anonymous book called "He Being Dead Yet Speaketh" (published by WH Broom) contains various diary entries and notes. By Googling some of the dates and locations I was able to identify his name as William Cooper. During this process it came to light that his widow, Jane Susanna (nee Coke), subsequently married JSO. JSO was born in Hyderabad in 1837 and died in Southampton in 1924. He had at least 9 children by his first wife, Jean Emily (nee Bright). His second marriage was in about July 1885. The second snippet comes from a letter from Egypt in the old German newsletter Mitteilungen for 1894. Brethren were expressing concern over the visit of JSO and his wife. It had been spread abroad that they were very wealthy. That's all I have - but it's been my experience that a small piece of info can prove useful in the right hands when searching for historical material.

      I came across your website and have a few questions.

      Why are you posting private information such as address lists of exclusive meetings (non-Taylorite) on the internet when you are violating copyright laws by doing so and when the address lists itself says about guarding it from outsiders? Copyright is illegal. You need to remove the address lists.

      I am away for the rest of the week, so there are unlikely to be any more updates until Friday now. My intention for this project was also very much it to be a 'winter project' too, as its not so much fun sitting at home scanning things when the sun is shining as when it is too cold to do anything else, so updates might not be quite as frequent now for the rest of the year!
      It is a good time to review things now too; my first intention in doing this was to process the manuscript material I obtained a few years back, as I knew otherwise it would remain in the same boxes forever. Most of this is still in the pile waiting to be scanned, but there is clearly light at the end of the tunnel. I think my second aim was to provide somewhere I could keep my own notes about historical matters, as so often you read or hear something and when you want to recall it, you just cannot quite place where it was you saw it! Now hopefully this system allows me (and anyone else) to attach notes and comments, ad hoc, to people and items, so the information gathering and collecting process can be made a lot easier.
      Thank you to everyone else who has contributed or taken an interest in the site. I think there is still a long way to go, and much more material to be added, and as more people become aware of it, this will hopefully also bring to light further material. Please let me know any feedback or comments you might have, and especially if you notice something that is broken!

      The sooner you get out, the sooner you will meet and SUBMIT to the Holy Spirit, and start doing what he wants you to do in fellowship with God the Father and Jesus the Son

      When you honestly look at the trail of destruction, and the pre-occupation of your legalistic ways of trying to be perfect, and realise the only worth you have is what Christ gives, you will then be found in God's will.

      The reason for all the destruction among the Brethren is that it is a work of man, and not of God

      You only have to answer one question honestly, and you will see that God is not pleased, but rather very sad at the destructive and counter productive practice of the Brethren, which is completely un-biblical.
      The question is this...who brings one to faith in Christ...The Holy Spirit...so if the Holy Spirit knows what he is doing...why are the majority of new believers coming to faith outside of the Brethren...hmmmm interesting question

      Thank you for your comment. I have personal experience of almost all 'types' of Brethren, apart from the Hales Exclusives. Now in all these groups i have found the majority of individuals to be godly, genuine, and sincere Christians, and particularly with 'open' companies, have a great deal of mutual love and desire to share the gospel with the unsaved. However, the unavoidable truth is that in the history of all branches of 'Exclusivism', time and time again, the same sins of bullying and dishonesty are found to recur over and over in respect of ecclesiastical matters. This I am sure is because the doctrinal foundation demands that maintaining 'unity' and the authority of 'assembly decisions' is placed above that of basic common righteousness and that the goal of continuing the 'system' is viewed as far more important than redressing wrongs done to individuals. That has had its most bitter and ugly fruit in the Taylor branch which perhaps is your background, but is even, alas, common (though not in any way to the same degree) among the much milder KLC company I am associated with.
      You will forgive for me saying though that given you are not even prepared to attach your name to your comment (cp 1 Cor 1:11), I think perhaps you have not yet entirely 'escaped' these things as much as you maybe imagine to have done.
      Best,
      Tom

      thank you for your considered response Tom.
      I was in the KLC (not Taylor)because of someone whom I met shortly after I was saved. I purposely left my name out as I have no wish to start up a conversation with all the old contacts..and I married into the family of a key legalist responsible for recent divisions.
      My spouse who grew up in the system but always was apart from it, wanted to leave the first week we were married, but unfortunately I thought we should stay because of precisely what you observe "i have found the majority of individuals to be godly, genuine, and sincere Christians"...so we stayed for 10 years before leaving..have had far more real spiritual growth and biblical practice, and biblical teaching amongst the "denominations" than we ever had in the brethren.

      Are people truly Godly though if they put assembly decisions and false unity above the word of God and the work of the Holy Spirit? I would have to say that I was not as I have also observed in my brothers there.

      I have spent the last 3 years praying about whether it would be worthwhile or fruitful to go back to try to help, but sadly to say the Spirit has made it clear that it would be a waste of time, as God has clearly removed the lampstand from the whole exclusive company, (if it ever was there?) I agree the "opens" do a great work, but still are hindered by some of the false practices and doctrine.
      And I do forgive your comment...and wish you well...I only posted here out of interest..as it seems that you and some others see the truth of the problem.
      Those who get completely free from the assembly system, often end up having a very fruitful ministry in the denominations, honoring God rather than man and submitting to the Holy Spirit rather than the assembly wisdom(sic)
      May the Holy Spirit truly set you free to serve Him, rather than being tied up in useless focus on these problems which are made of man, and ultimately of satan.
      blessings my brother....

      Hello,

      Sorry, I do not bother, because I understand that you must be a very busy brother and I will not abuse your time, but I write again because I could not open pdf files, and I have much interest in the excellent material of your website.

      The Lord bless you abundantly in this work
