A coal miner for over 50 years, Er Grace (1883-1965) was minister for more than 40 years at Ebenezer Particular Baptist Chapel in the West Yorkshire town of Ossett. These are the only surviving sermons from his years of ministry. Preached in 1963 and 1964 at over 80 years of age when he was physically frail, he often refers to his failing memory and diverts into related subjects. They contain however abundant evidence of his ‘doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, persecutions and afflictions’.
