Over 300 years ago in a little known part of England a small and almost unknown company of Baptists met to worship God. These men and women were valiant for the truth in days when it was costly to be a Christian. Their leaders were men unnoticed by the eyes of the world and even today their little meeting house lacks a congregation. In spite of this obscurity, one of their number became minister of the best known of all Baptist churches. The heirs of that church still meet in the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Elephant and Castle, London, enjoying the Christian liberty for which their forefathers suffered.
