1524	From "The Baptist Magazine": REV. JOHN THOMAS. Died on Thursday, the 1st of November, aged eighty-nine years, the Rev. John Thomas, father of the Rev. James Thomas, of the Baptist Mission House, Calcutta. This venerable servant of the Lord was for thirty- nine years the faithful pastor of the first Baptist church, Broseley, Salop, and the honoured instrument of winning many souls to the Saviour, of whom several are now labouring in the ministry of the gospel. The superior strength of divine grace over that of nature was strikingly evinced in that, whilst he was oblivious of even his own daughter, (who was his constant, tender, and affectionate attendant), he was at the same time fully alive to Him, whom, in nearly his last moments he designated, "The chiefest among ten thousand, and the altogether lovely." Here was the "ruling passion strong in death."	THOMAS, Reverend John (I15624)
1525	From Broseley News 1903: The weekly meeting in connection with the Broseley Wesleyan P.S.A. was held in the chapel, when Mr. E. R. Hartshorne presided over a large attendance. Mr. A. T. Hartshorne gave an excellent address on "Circumstances", and Mr. A, J. Preston gave a fine rendering of the solos "Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep" and "Comfort ye" ("Messiah"). "PRESENTATIONS.â€” On Friday last week a pleasing function took place at the Liberal and Labour Club the occasion being the presentation of a Gladstone bag by the members of the club, to Mr. E. R. Hartshorne on his leaving England to take up an appointment in America. Mr. James E. Hartshorne presided over a good attendance, and, having made a few remarks pertinent to the occasion, called upon Mr. G. W. Taylor (secretary); who, in an interesting speech, said that when it became known that Mr. E. R. Hartshorne contemplated taking his departure from their midst, the Members of that club felt it incumbent upon them to present him with some memento of their kindly regard and esteem. He was one of their valued members, and they were very sorry to lose him, but they sincerely trusted that their loss would be his gain. All the subscribers had given willingly and cheerfully. He, himself, had been in close touch with Mr. E. R. Hartshorne at Messrs. Mawâ€™s Works, Jackfield, for the last 15 years, and the business transactions they had with each other from time to time were of the most amicable description. He was always courteous and business-like, and would be missed very much.â€” Mr. George Hurdley, who made the presentation, said he also had been associated with Mr. E. R. Hartshorne in Messrs. Mawâ€™s offices for a number of years, and he was in a position therefore to substantiate all the good things said of him by Mr. Taylor. He sincerely wished him and Mrs. Hartshorne every happiness and success in their future home. (Applause.)â€” Mr. E. R. Hartshorne, in acknowledging the kind gift bestowed upon him, said he thanked Mr. Taylor and Mr. Hurdley for their kind expressions concerning him. He would be glad to hear that the club was making satisfactory progress, and hoped the members would make politics more a matter of study, and thus be enabled to give an intelligent reason for the faith that was in them. He was not leaving Free Trade England for Protectionist America, because he had believed Free Trade was dying out. He was a firm believer in Free Trade. His only object in leaving the land of his birth was with the view of improving his condition in life. He had an offer which he thought would accomplish this, that was all, it did not affect his political views in the least. (Applause.)â€” Mr. P. Stephan said he was not one of those men who expressed his regret at a man emigrating to another country if he was going to improve his position thereby. He congratulated Mr. E. R. Hartshorne on his courage, determination, and perseverance, all of which he possessed in a remarkable degree, and they were important factors is securing success in life. He felt assured their friend would make his mark in his adopted country. (Applause)â€” Mr. J. Jones said that Mr. Hartshorne made himself useful in his day and generation, and would be much missed, especially at the Broseley Wesleyan Chapel, of which he was a consistent member and teacher in the Sunday School. (Applause.)- On Wednesday the friends and members of the Wesleyan Church presented Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Hartshorne with a set of fish carvers and knives and forks, as a token of esteem. The recipients had been ardent workers in the Wesleyan Church, Mr. Hartshorne for many years acting as secretary to the Sunday School, and for the last two years as superintendent. The Rev. B. E. Hawkins (Madeley Wood) made the presentation, and expressed his regret and that of the church in losing two such willing, energetic, and sympathetic workers. Mr. E. R. Hartshorne accepted the gift, and, on behalf of himself and his wife thanked all his friends for the kind thoughts and wishes conveyed to him, stating that he had had many happy times and associations connected with the work carried on in Broseley."

1541	From The Baptist Handbook 1943: He was trained at Bristol College and was one of six students of his time who went to the mission field in 1881. Mr Thomas was appointed to Delhi, where he was first the colleague and then the successor of Rev James Smith, the pioneer in North India of owrk among the low castes. This work was developed by Mr Thomas amid difficult conditions. He did much to build up the Indian Church and to evangelise the district through his own efforts and those of colporteurs whom he trained. He was also instrumental in opening up work at Baraut and served among British troops and Anglo-Indian residents in Agra. An earnest preeacher, a loyal colleague, he was a friend to all. He retired to England in 1920 and was a welcome deputation in the Churches. He was a member of a missionary family which has been represented for four generations in the Indian Mission.

1545	From the nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century, many medics gained the qualifications 'LSA, MRCS' or 'LRCP, MRCS'. During this period, the MRCS (Member of the Royal College of Surgeons) exam was taken by most medical practitioners at the outset of their career along with the LSA (Licentiate of the Society of Apothecaries) or later the LRCP (Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians). Many of these did not go on to practise surgery at all, but entered other fields of medicine. In 1843 the College nominated 600 Fellows, and from 1844 examined candidates for the FRCS (Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons). It was this higher qualification which became an essential prerequisite to entering surgical training and going on to practise as a surgeon.	BUTLER, John (I7965)
