HENRY DANIELS was born at
Ecclesfield near Sheffield, in the year 1802. Early in life, through the
instrumentality of the late Rev. Theophilus Lessey, he became a subject of the
converting grace of God. After having been engaged for a time in different departments
of Christian work in the town in which he resided, he was recommended as a
candidate for the ministry, and in the year 1828 received his first appointment
to a Circuit. With unwavering confidence in God he persevered in the great work
to which he was called. As a minister,he preached the Word plainly
and forcefully; and it was
his happiness to take part in several extensive revivals of religion in
Circuits in which he travelled. As a Superintendent, his administration was
judicious, his judgement sound and his integrity unswerving. Though naturally
retiring and diffident, he knew
how to administer reproof
when necessary, “speaking the truth in love”. An entire freedom from
selfishness and a deep humility of
spirit, were prominent features of his character. A true friend, a faithful
pastor, an affectionate husband and father, a cheerful Christian, he was “an
example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in
faith, in purity”. After thirty-seven years of toil, spent almost entirely in
the counties of Devon and Cornwall, his health, which had been failing for some
time, completely broke down, and he was compelled to retire from active
service. In “feebleness extreme”, his mind was
kept in peace.
Trusting in the Lord Jesus,
he waited for His coming; and on November 8th, 1869, in the sixty-eighth year
of his age, and the forty-second of his ministry, he entered into rest.
