Mr. David M. Lamb (London)
Mr. Lamb is a Northerner, and was born at Gateshead, in the county of Durham, in the year 1856. He began work in a glass-blowing factory at the age of nine, spending half time at school until he was thirteen. He held the post of Trade Union Secretary before he was twenty.
Mr. Lamb came to London nearly thirty years ago, and was attracted to Waterloo Road Chapel in connection with temperance work, and was asked to join the committee. On a certain Sunday morning he stood on the steps of the chapel, and the late Mr. Hobbs, the leader of the Sunday morning class meeting, said in his cheery style - "Come in, my friend; this is Liberty Hall." This was Mr. Lamb's first introduction to a Methodist class meeting. Under the influence of the pastor (Rev. W. H. Tickell), he was soon won to Christ, and became an earnest and enthusiastic worker.
