PARKER (Joseph, 1830-1902, Congregationalist Divine)

Fine Cabinet Photo by G. & R. Lavis of Eastbourne boldly signed showing him three quarters length in profile, seated in a chair with a book in his lap and more on the table next to him, 6½" x 4¼", no place but Eastbourne, no date

Parker's preaching differed widely from his contemporaries like Spurgeon and Alexander Maclaren. He did not follow outlines or list his points, but spoke extemporaneously, inspired by his view of the spirit and attitude behind his Scripture text. He expressed himself frankly, with conviction and passion. His transcriber commented that he was at his best when he strayed furthest from his loose outlines.
George & Rebecca Lavis were a husband and wife team of photographers (active 1863-1883), who had a fashionable portrait studio in Eastbourne, Sussex.
