D R. PARKER, who was born at Hexham-on-Tyne, was educated at University College, London. At the age in which he is represented in our first portrait he had just left his pastorate at Bunbury to take up the work at Manchester, with which he was conspicuously occupied for over ten years. At forty, the age depicted in our third portrait, Dr. Parker had recently come to London, where he built the City Temple at the cost of £70,000, and where his fervid eloquence attracts huge congregations.
