J.B. Stoney

      James Butler Stoney was born in Portland Co., Tipperary, on May 13, 1814, and – when only 15 – he entered Trinity College, Dublin to study for the Bar. He gave up the law for divinity, still at Trinity College, but – fortuitously – was too young to be ordained. It was in 1833 that Mr. Stoney first came in contact with brethren and Mr. Darby.

      His service was limited to Great Britain and Ireland, but for almost 60 years, Mr. Stoney served the saints actively and faithfully. Besides his oral ministry, he contributed to most, if not all, of the periodicals of the time. For many years he edited and contributed to 'A Voice to the Faithful'.

But when the cry raised about fifty years ago awoke the slumbering saints, when the word reached souls with power - "Behold, the bridegroom, go forth to meet him" - then I say the Philadelphian character cam...
