In the 1800s, Charles Henry Mackintosh was a dispensationalist, magazine editor, Bible commentator, and preacher among the Plymouth Brethren. Mackintosh was the son of Highland regiment officer Captain Duncan Mackintosh. At the age of eighteen, he read John Nelson Darby's Operations of the Spirit and received a spiritual experience through his sister's letters. He started working in a commercial establishment in Limerick, Ireland, in 1838. He traveled to Dublin the next year and joined the Plymouth Brethren. Mackintosh stated, "I had not the honor of being among the first of those who planted their feet on the blessed ground occupied by Brethren," in reflection of his course around 1874. About the year 1839, I left the Establishment and went to Dublin to join my place at the table where lovely Bellett was ministering to great acclaim. Naturally, as a young man, I retired and never gave public ministry of any type a second thought. It's true that nothing could have ever motivated me to speak in public save the deepest sense of duty.
