Elijah Martindale, a pioneer preacher of the 1800s, was quite an interesting character. Β If you read the free preview edition of the Quarterly (you can download it here), then you got to read some of the interesting things that happened in his life, including the fact that he was kicked out of the church that he was preaching for…

because he preached the truth on baptism and salvation.
