Corprew who died in Portsmouth Virginia and Solomon Cosby a Danville Virginia native who died in Abeokuta West Africa aged 31. Both men died in 1881.Also mentioned in the broadside is John Jasper 1812–1901 another prominent Virginia Baptist Preacher best remembered for his sermon The Sun Do Move which expressed his deep faith in God through the imagery of a flat Earth around which the sun rotates.Finally British Baptist Charles Spurgeon is mentioned. Spurgeon a prominent abolitionist known as the “Prince of Preachers” never came to the United States but had a close relationship with Thomas Lewis Johnson the Virginian author of: Africa for Christ. Twenty-Eight Years a Slave—Johnson studied for two years in the college that Spurgeon founded named posthumously Spurgeon College before leaving for his two-year stint in the Cameroons. On his return a sick and grieving widower Spurgeon was one of the many British Baptists who helped him. S.l.:: s.n.,, 1882-1900. unknown books
