LANSING BURROWS, EDITOR. $ ijilttfolfttjiii: AMERICAN BAPTIST PUBLICATION SOCIETY, 118 ARCH STREET. 1853. ■ •> ■ PREFACE. The main object of this work is to present to the world the statistics and localities of the Baptist Churches in America. These churches being independent, united simply by the fellowship of a common faith, and not by any inter-ecclesiastical government, recognizing no central synod or assembly to which reports are due, it has not been easy to gather returns from every part of our wide land. The Associations being formed of churches so contiguous as to be able to correspond freely and to meet by delegations annually, compile and publish their own minutes and statistics mainly for the information of their own constituents. The returns must therefore be generally accurate, as they are reported by each church every year, and printed for distribution among the churches so reporting. This accounts, too, for the imperfection in some particulars of many of these minutes. The counties, post-offices, dates, &c, are so well known to most within the Associational bounds, that the import- ance of printing them each year does not appear to the compilers. But it should be remembered that these documents are of interest to others, and that therefore every item should be given, which is necessary to inform strangers of their localities and condition, and to enhance their value as materials from which the statistics of the whole denomination are to be gathered, and its history compiled. These minutes, bound in volumes, are preserved for future reference and use, in the Library of the American Baptist Publication Society. Wherever we fail, therefore, in obtaining all the minutes of a State, we have imperfect returns for the General Register and an imperfect volume in our library. The officers of the several Associations will thus see the importance of forwarding to us at least (3) 4 PREFACE. two copies of their minutes, one for use in compiling the Register, and one to be bound up in the volumes for the library. With much toil and cost, after a voluminous and protracted corre- spondence, extending to every State and Territory, the information in the following pages has been collected and arranged, and is now submitted to the public. It is not complete ; but it is fuller and more accurate than any previous work of a similar character. The Registers of Rev. John Asplund, published in 1796, — of Rev. D. Benedict, in 1813, — of Rev. I. M. Allen, in 1833 and 1836, — are the only works that purport to give the detailed statistics of the denomination. Summaries have been prepared by Rev. D. Benedict in his later work, and by the compilers of the Baptist Almanac from year to year. These works have been prepared with great labor, and we owe much to the excellent men who have patiently toiled to gather and publish them. Still we now have advantages in the cheap and extended postage system, in the facilities of rapid intercourse, and in the growing conviction of the importance of such a work, which our predecessors in this department of labor did not possess. We have made the best use of these advantages we could. That there are omissions and deficiencies we know ; that there are some errors we fear. We have succeeded in obtaining most of the minutes of Associations, and of the reports and catalogues of other bodies connected with the Baptist denomination for 1851 ; and whatever defects a rigid criti- cism may discover are mainly attributable to the partial and imperfect returns of these printed documents. The Editor would say, in the language of Rev. Morgan Edwards, in the preface of his rare little volume entitled " Materials towards a history of the American Baptists/' " whereof there are on this continent about 300 churches, including German Baptists/' published in 1770 : " As to apologies for the work itself he will not attempt any, being firmly of opinion that if he should lose any reputation by it, he cannot lose it in a better way, than in endear voring to promote the Baptist interest, which, in his judgment, is the interest of Christ, above any in Christendom. Whoever finds fault with the performance will thereby intimate that he is able to supply its defects and correct its errors; and if he will do both or either, the author would bo well pleased should every reader be a fault finder." PREFACE. O In many instances we have succeeded, by private correspondence, in ob- taining the information necessary for filling up the tables that were published in an imperfect state. To the friends in all sections of the country who have kindly aided us, by forwarding minutes, catalogues, reports, &c, who have sent us letters containing fuller information than the minutes furnished, who have written sketches of State Conventions, Literary Institutions, &c, we take this method of expressing our grateful thanks. The names of some of these will appear in the volume in connection with the articles they have prepared, and by which the value of the volume is enhanced. We regret that some to whom we applied for sketches of State or general organizations, Colleges, _&c.; have not found the leisure or disposition to respond. The engravings of Church buildings, Colleges, and Schools, which orna- ment the volume, are presented as good specimens both of elegant and therefore costly, and of neat though cheap, architecture. The expense of these engravings has been defrayed by the friends who consented to their insertion, the blocks having been prepared for their own use, and duplicates given to the Publication Society. This plan will be continued in future volumes. A Committee of the Society will procure engravings of this kind, for any desiring them, sending the blocks to their direction, and the only compensation asked, will be the privilege of retaining an electrotyped dupli- cate for the use of the Society. The Register purports to present the statistics of the, churches for the year 1851. In some instances, where no minutes for that year could be obtained, or where churches have failed to report, the totals of the previous year have been inserted. In a few cases the names and statistics of churches organized in 1852 have been given. These variations are very few. The returns of 1851 form the basis of the work. Whether subsequent volumes of a similar character shall be published by the Society, depends upon the favor with which the present is received. If in this department of publication they can serve the denomination without pecuniary loss, their sense of its worth and importance will prompt the Board of Managers to make arrangements for an annual Register. But they cannot feel justified in using the funds entrusted to them, for such a purpose, if any loss should ensue. If it is as valuable as the Managers b PREFACE. hope, it will pay for itself. If it is not, the single experiment will test the fact. Praying that the work may be useful in imparting gratifying and im- portant information, in making churches and ministers better known to each other, in establishing a mutual universal correspondence, in inciting humiliation for failings and adverses, and in awakening gratitude to God for his kind providence and favor, the work is affectionately dedicated to the Baptist Churches of America.

The names of the Pastors of the Churches are in most cases those fur- nished by the Minutes for 1851, or by correspondents. In some instances where changes have come to our knowledge, they have been recorded, though the relation may be of a later date. In a few cases the names and statistics of churches constituted in 1852 are given. Where the total number of members in a church has been omitted in the Minutes, the total of the previous year, when known, is inserted. The distinction between supply and pastor could not be generally observed, as in many of the States, where one minister preaches statedly to two, three, or four churches, he is considered and called the Pastor of each. We have, therefore, inserted the name of each minister as pastor of the church to which he regularly preaches. The names of churches printed in capital letters indicate that they are located at county seats. II.— TABLES OF MINISTERS AND THEIR POST-OFFICES. The letters annexed to the names of the Ministers signify — P. — Pastor. Sec. — Secretary. M. — Missionary. Ed — Editor. F. M. — Foreign Missionary. Pres. — President of some Literary Insti- S. — Supply. tution. Ev. — Evangelist. Prof. — Professor W. C— Without Charge. C— Colporteur. L. — Licentiate. T. — Teacher. A. — Agent. W. C. — Without Charge. There are many of our ministers, thus desig- nated, who are actively engaged in preaching the gospel, though not statedly to particular churches. Partly engaged in secular callings many of them are still devoting a portion of their time usefully to the work of the ministry. We have not the information necessary to distinguish such from those who are in feeble health, superannuated, or entirely engrossed in secular pursuits. Where we have known such as are generally devoted to ministerial labor, and yet are without the charge of any particular church, they are designated as Evangelists. M. P. — Missionary Pastor: designates one who is supported, as the pastor of one or more churches, by some Home Missionary Society. P. M. — Pastor and Missionary : designates one who devotes part of his time as pastor and part of his time as missionary, as is the case in many of the Southern and Western Associations. 2 (9) ENGRAVINGS.

(10) REGULAR BAPTISTS IN THE UNITED STATES. ALABAMA. STATE CONVENTION. The twenty-eighth anniversary of the Alabama Baptist State Convention was held at Tuskegee, Macon County, November 1st — 4th, 1851. The design of the Convention, according to its constitution, is "to promote, by all lawful means, the following objects, viz. : Foreign and Domestic Missions ; the education of such Ministers as may have been licensed by the Churches to which they respectively belong ; Bible Translation and Distribution ; Sunday Schools, Religious Periodicals, Tract and Temperance Societies, as well as all other objects warranted by Christ in the Gospel." The amount reported directly to the Convention, contributed for these objects of benevolence during the year, is $5,322.71. The Howard College, and the Judson Female Institute, flourishing Institutions located at Marion, were originated by the Convention, and are owned and maintained by it. A more particular account of these Schools may be found in the "Educational Department" of this volume. The following is the " Report on the State of Religion," published with the Minutes : — " With gratitude to God, your committee give it as their opinion, that in no period, in the history of our State, has the course of religion been so prosperous as at the present time. The glad tidings have come to us through the corresponding letters, from the churches and Associations to your body ; but more particularly through that welcome visitor and bearer of good news, the ' Southwestern Baptist.' " Although some of our churches and Associations have not, within the Conventional year, been visited with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, as in former years, yet we are satisfied that revivals have been more general than formerly. The revivals, we are gratified to learn, have been characterized bv deep conviction for (13) 14 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER. sin ; a thorough knowledge of the total depravity of the heart ; the utter inability of man to save himself by the deeds of the law ; and a consequent reliance upon the Bible doctrine of justification by faith in Christ for salvation. It should encourage the Convention, and the Associations that labor with it in our State, to know that the revivals have been mostly among those who have sowed bountifully the word of God among the destitute, and at those points where they have most assiduously cultivated the seed. We are satisfied that revivals are now more prudently conducted, and are becoming more Scriptural. Ministers and churches are laying aside human appliances, and are betaking themselves to the instrumentalities found in the Word of God. We, therefore, believe that the time will come when there will be no objection to revivals, except by the Adversary and his friends. " Another pleasing fact has not escaped the observation of your committee ; they are satisfied that there is a rapid increase of Scriptural piety in the churches. This is evinced by a more strict attention to the Word of God, the instrument of sanctification ; by increased liberality to the benevolent objects cherished by this body ; and by a greater consecration of time and talents to the service of God. " Your committee believe that this increase of piety in the churches is owing, mainly, to the rapid and gratifying improvement in our ministry in spirituality and intelligence. It is evident that the ministers in our State are understanding the duty of entire consecration to the cause of Christ better than formerly, and are becoming more spiritual and holy ; and as ministers raise higher the standard of holiness, the churches grow to the measurement. " Your committee cannot forbear to mention another pleasing feature in the ministry of reconciliation. It is that they are becoming sounder in the faith, and co-operate more unitedly for the promotion of the cause of God and the salvation of souls. The old-fashioned Bible doctrines of election and predestination are better understood by them ; more firmly believed, clearly stated, and logically enforced. They contend, too, more earnestly for the great doctrine of the Reformation, Justification by Faith. We sincerely hope that the time is not far distant when our ministry will see eye to eye, and speak the same thing in regard to those doctrines which lie at the foundation of true piety."

The Register of 1812, prepared by Rev. D. Benedict, has no record of any churches in Alabama. It was then an unsettled and almost unknown territory. The first church organized in Alabama was the Flint River, in 1808. The Register of Rev. J. M. Allen, published in 1833, reports 250 churches, 155 ministers, and 11,408 communicants. In 1836 there were 333 churches, 188 ministers, and 15,630 communicants. In 1840, Rev. Hosea Holcombe published the statistics of the denomination, and reported, including the anti-mission bodies, 507 churches, 279 ministers, and 25,026 members. The Minutes of the State Convention for 1847, report 744 churches, 348 ministers, and 43,283 members. The returns published in the present volume show that there are of Regular, or Missionary Baptists, 579 churches, 358 ministers, and 41,482 communicants. Of Anti-Mission Baptists there are 197 churches, 83 ministers, and 8,364 members, making the grand total for 1851, 776 churches, 441 ministers, and 49,846 communicants. 16 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER.

TnE Arkansas Baptist State Convention was organized, in accordance with a resolution of the Saline Baptist Association, at Brownsville, September 21st, 1848, for the purpose of promoting the cause of truth by uniting and concentrating the efforts of the denomination in supplying, as far as possible, the very great destitution which then existed in this State. Rev. "William H. Bayliss was chosen President by the delegates, who represented one Association and seventeen churches. This first meeting of the Convention was highly interesting. The aged silver-haired Gospel pioneer, who had labored long and hard in this " great harvest field" rejoiced in the prospect of a brighter day. The tearful eye, the deep devotional sigh, and the heart-felt Amen accompanying the broken accents of humble prayer for the infant Convention, testified that God's Spirit was moving the hearts of his people to this great and good work. Liberal contributions, too, were made to supply the temporal wants of the hitherto much neglected minister. Seldom are Christians privileged to see brighter manifestations of God's grace than were witnessed at this meeting. The master and servant, the child and parent, the self-righteous moralist and profane sceptic, bowed at the same altar of prayer, and ere the meeting closed more than forty happy hopeful converts were added to the militant kingdom of Christ. Thus the first Arkansas Conventional meeting closed, inspiring many hearts with brighter hopes. Rev. J. C. Perkins, who has recently been called to the " rest which remains for the people of God," was appointed general agent of the Convention. His qualifications did not consist in great talent or learning, for he had charge of a family before he was able to read God's holv Word. He had entered this field alone (32) ARKANSAS. 33 — spent months, and even years, proclaiming the unsearchable riches of Christ, without seeing the face of a Baptist minister — he had traveled about five thousand miles annually for many years, without receiving one dollar in money as compensation for his labor. He was emphatically the father of the Baptist cause in South Arkansas. He was universally known and revered as a truly humble and devoted Christian minister. Two other agents were subsequently appointed, together with several missionaries, each of whom labored several months, and whose reports were highly encouraging. Over fifty baptisms were reported, and $752.28 were received into the treasury during the year. The second year's operations were also encouraging. An agent was employed who obtained subscriptions to the amount of $1,181, collected $555.10, and sold dui'ing four months of the year, $562.36 worth of books. One missionary labored with the slave population on Red River, and reported over thirty baptisms. Several other missionaries labored during a part of the year and reported seventy- seven baptisms. The receipts of the year amounted to $763.28, while the expenditures were $1,166.08, leaving the Convention over $400 in debt. At this embarrassing crisis the much lamented Perkins was again appointed general agent, and still again were the anticipations of the brethren disappointed, for " God's ways are not our ways." Severe affliction once more visited his family, and the aged companion of his bosom was called from earth to heaven. Owing to this disappointment and the indebtedness of the Board, but little was accomplished during the third and last year. The Board is still in debt without either agent or missionary in the field. It may be certainly said of this country "the harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few." Many Baptist churches are without any regular preaching. From almost every part of this State the " cry for Gospel light" is heard. OFFICERS OF THE CONVENTION FOR 1851-2. Rev. Jesse Hartwell, D. D., Camden, President. Rev. W. H. Wyatt, Freo, Rev. E.

Wheeler arrived in San Francisco as a missionary of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, March 1st, 1849. At that time there was only one place of worship in the town, (a small school-house,) occupied by Rev. S. D. Hunt, who had been on the ground four months acting as " chaplain to the people." On the 18th, Mr. C. L. Ross, having a private house in such a state of forwardness as to afford shelter, opened it for public worship, and Mr. Wheeler commenced preaching. On the 27th of May, regular services were commenced, both morning and evening, and a Sabbath School started. On the 24th of June, six persons, four males and two females, adopted articles of faith and a covenant, and on the 6th of July were publicly recognized as a regular Baptist church. On the 10th of the same month the Church commenced the task of erecting the first house of Protestant worship in the territory, the pastor, with his own hands, doing the first work. The house was 30 by 50 feet, and was completed and opened, with appropriate exercises, in the very short time of 25 days. It was made of the plainest materials, and put together in the cheapest manner, and yet its cost exceeded $6000, which, together with the expense of a lot (72 by 137J feet) at $10,000, was borne by one of the brethren, C. L. Ross. Two other churches having been organized, the San Francisco Baptist Association was formed, September 25, 1850, in the city of San Francisco.

It originated at the annual meeting of the Hartford Baptist Association held at Middletown, in October, 1822, at which time a committee was appointed to take into consideration the expediency of forming a Convention of the Baptist churches in the State. A meeting of delegates from the churches was held at Suffield in November following, at which the plan of a constitution was prepared and ordered to be printed, and the meeting adjourned till October, 1823, in the city of Hartford, at which time the constitution was adopted, and the time of the first annual meeting fixed upon, the second Wednesday in June, 1824, at Middletown. A Connecticut Baptist Missionary Society had been organized as early as 1814, having its origin in the missionary spirit awakened in the denomination by the conversion of Rev. Messrs. Judson and Rice to Baptist sentiments. In November, 1823, this Society voted, that, " Whereas in our opinion the business of missions may be better conducted by a Convention of churches than by a Society of individuals, and whereas such a Convention is now in operation in this State ; therefore resolved, that this Society be from this time dissolved," all its concerns being transferred to the State Convention. Forty-four churches were represented in the Convention at its first anniversary in June, 1824, and Rev. Asa Wilcox was its first President. Though the primary and chief design of the Convention was to promote the work of Domestic Missions, assisting feeble churches, and supplying destitute regions within the bounds of the State, yet other benevolent interests were embraced in its operations, and most of the contributions of the churches throughout the State (39) 40 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER. for the various objects of benevolence have been generally transmitted through the Convention treasury. During the first six years of its operations, the amount of funds received and expended, chiefly for Foreign and Domestic Missions, averaged not far from one thousand dollars per annum; but the amount has steadily increased, until for the year ending June, 1851, the Treasurer reported as received for Domestic (or State) Missions, $1,716.69, and for various other purposes $7,092.61, making a total of $8,809.30. Including' the sums transmitted through other channels, the amount contributed by the churches to the different benevolent enterprises of the denomination probably did not vary greatly from $10,000. An inestimable amount of good has been accomplished through the agency of the Convention in the Domestic Mission field, partly by pecuniary aid afforded to feeble churches for sustaining the ministry, and partly by direct missionary labor. We cannot well state the number of missionaries employed from first to last, because for several years no regular and systematic course of missionary labor was pursued, though quite a number of preachers were temporarily and at different times engaged in the service of the Board, and their labors were greatly blessed in the gathering of churches and the salvation of souls. For the past seven years, however, besides the appropriations made to feeble churches, a steady system of missionary operations has been maintained — two missionaries (and a part of the time three) having been regularly employed in the State. The result, with God's blessing, has been the organization of eight new churches, and the reviving and strengthening of several old ones, the erection of ten new houses of worship, and in many respects an essential advance of Baptist interests in Connecticut. The number of churches at present embraced in the Convention is 115, with a total, according to the last report, of 16,355 members. OFFICERS OF THE CONVENTION FOR 1851-2. Rev. E. T.

The annexed cuts present views of the exterior and of the interior of the First Church, New Haven. The building was erected in 1822-3 ; enlarged in 1835, and entirely remodelled in 1850. Its dimensions are fifty by eighty-three feet. The interior is now very elegantly finished. Heavy cornices and dentals, with a splendid centre piece, ornament the ceiling, — the walls are painted in fresco panelling; a fine perspective is painted in rear of pulpit. The organ is so arranged, as to seem part of the building. The pulpit platform covers the Baptistry. The pulpit is of white Italian marble ; and the communion table and furniture are in admirable keeping with the whole. The pews are finished in mahogany, and all furnished with cushions of figured crimson damask. The floors are all richly car- peted. It is regarded as one of the most pleasant and beautiful places of worship in that city of elegant church buildings. DELAWARE. At one period the Baptists in this State were as numerous, in proportion to the population, as in any of the middle States. The church at Welch Tract was organized in Wales in 1701, and immigrated in a body, settling at first in Pennepek (now Lower Dublin). In 1703 the church again migrated and settled upon the Welch Tract in Delaware, and became a numerous and influential body. The Brynzion church was constituted in 1781, and the 1st Wilmington church in 1785. These churches were connected with the Philadelphia Association. Several other churches were subsequently organized and the Delaware Association formed. While they continued in correspondence and fellowship with the Regular Baptists they prospered. In later years, however, they renounced fellowship with the great body of our churches, in their hostility to missionary eflorts, and have gradually dwindled away until scarcely any thing is known of them save their earlier history. There are now in Delaware, connected with the old Delaware Association, five churches, with an aggregate of 102 members. There are also some remnants of churches in Sussex county, connected with the Salisbury Association, and the aggregate in the State is not over two hundred members. There are but two regular Baptist churches in Delaware, viz., CHURCHES. CONST. COUNTIES. PASTORS. BAPT. MEMBERS. Wilmington, Second, Dover, 1835 1852 New Castle, Kent, J. G. Collom, J. T.

The Georgia Baptist Convention was constituted in 1822 at Ea- tonton, Putnam county, by Delegates from the Georgia and Ocmulgee Associations. Its first officers were Elder Jesse Mercer, Moderator, and Elder J. P. Marshall, Clerk. Mr. Marshall was grandson of Elder Daniel Marshall, the Baptist pioneer in Georgia, who consti- tuted at Keokee the first Baptist Church in the State. The objects of the Convention, as set forth in their Constitution, were : — 1. To unite the influence and pious intelligence of Georgia Baptists. 2. To form and encourage plans for the revival of experimental and practi- cal religion in the State and elsewhere. * 3. To promote uniformity of sentiment and discipline. 4. To aid in giving effect to useful plans of the Associations. 5. To afford an opportunity, to those who may conscientiously think it their duty, to form a fund for the education of pious young men who may be called by the Spirit and their churches to the Christian ministry. 6. To correspond with bodies of other religious denominations on topics of general interest to the Redeem- er's kingdom, and to promote pious and useful education in the Bap- tist denomination. In 1824 the Sunbury Association united with the Convention, and in 1825, $187 were raised and appropriated to aid in the education of three young men, preparing for the Ministry. In 1826 the Exec- utive Committee were instructed to prepare a plan to provide a fund for the purposes of Theological education. At this session the Treas- urer reported £200 received for Foreign Missions: $125 for Do- * This third item was afterwards omitted, to avoid giving ground of fear that the Convention might encroach on the independence of the Churc (50) GEORGIA. 51 mestic Missions ; $100 for education of young men for the Ministry ; and $149 for tracts and religious books. At this session Elder W. T. Brantly was delegated to represent the Convention in the Baptist General Convention. In 1827 representatives were received from societies formed from the Churches composing the Hepzibah and Flint River Associations ; in 1828 representatives were received from 3 additional Societies ; and in 1832, after an operation of 10 years, it was composed of del- egates from 2 Associations and 14 auxiliary societies, the Ocmulgee Association having withdrawn. ' It had contributed during the first ten years of its existence, about §1,000 for Foreign Missions, about $1,500 for Domestic Missions, and about $250 for religious books, for the benefit of indigent Min- isters, and for the distribution of tracts. About $1,400 had been expended in the same time to aid in the education of 15 Beneficia- ries preparing for the Ministry, partly under the private instruction of pastors, and partly in public Academies ; the expense of their board being mostly sustained by benevolent brethren. In 1832 arrangements were effected for the organization of a Seminary for the Literary and Theological instruction of pious young men preparing for the gospel ministry, to be connected with manual labor. This Institution was called the Mercer Institute, in honor of Elder Jesse Mercer, on account of his able counsel, and lib- eral contributions in bringing it into operation. It was located on the present site of Mercer University, in the county of Green, and was opened in the beginning of 1833, under the charge of Elder B. M. Sanders. Among its first pupils were five young men preparing for the ministry, four of them Beneficiaries. All of them have since been eminently useful in their respective fields of labor. Three of them have already entered into their rest ; among whom is num- bered Elder W. M. Tryon, the lamented late President of the Bap- tist Convention of the State of Texas. Elders T. U. Wilkes and C. F. Sturgis of these five brethren, only remain still to lift up their voices on the walls of Zion. A legacy of $2,500 bequeathed by the lamented Josiah Penfielcl of Savannah, and an equivalent subscrip- tion by benevolent brethren attending the Convention in 1829, laid the foundation of a permanent fund for the education of young brethren preparing for the ministry, the interest of which only could be used. This legacy, with the equivalent subscription, were realized in January 1833. To this fund a legacy of $1,000 by brother B. A. Hamp, and one of the same amount by sister Martha Harper 5? AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER. were very soon added, making a total of $7,000 to constitute a per manent fund, under the control of the Convention, for the education of young men preparing for the ministry. At the Convention in 1842 this fund was reported to amount to $21,000, after having aided 22 Beneficiaries in their education, and at present, in 1852, it has reached the sum of $32,000 after having aided 32 Beneficiaries within the last 10 years. In 1842 the Con- vention had received contributions for Foreign Missions within the previous 10 years to the amount of about $31,000 ; and for Domes- tic Missions about $5,000, besides a considerable portion of Domestic Mission labor, sustained by the Associations in the State within the limits of their own churches, and not reported to the Convention. At this period the Convention was composed of delegates from 8 Associations and 5 Societies. In 1836 the subject of the organization of a Southern Baptist College was agitated in the Convention, a location selected, and Trustees appointed. In 1837 these Trustees determined to relin- quish the project under the difficulties to be encountered by them ; on which the Executive Committee of the Convention resolved to connect a Collegiate Department with the Mercer Institute, and forthwith obtained for it a charter of incorporation from the Legis- lature of the State, under the .title of "Mercer University." The Convention in 1838 approved and confirmed this act of its committee, and appointed trustees, for its management in the terms of the charter, to whom they committed the direction of all its oper- ations and interests. In 1837 a fund of $2,000 was contributed to the Convention by two benevolent individuals, the interest only of which could be used, for the education of indigent orphans, and especially the orphans of deceased ministers. In 1840 the Convention received from Elder Jesse Mercer a do- nation of the Christian Index with its office, an entire new set of type, and all its unpaid clues. The objects of the Convention, from the beginning were regarded with great indifference by a large body of the Denomination, and from many it received strong opposition. Some, no doubt, from hyper Calvinistic or antinomian views of doctrine, were really alarmed at the apprehension that it would lead to the encourage- ment of the sentiment of salvation by works, and sap the foundation of the pure doctrine of salvation by grace. With some it is to be feared, that opposition proceeded from the apprehension that it GEOKGIA. 53 would reflect too much light upon their spirit of covetousness and selfishness. From whatever cause the opposition really arose the result was, that the Convention received very partial co-operation for more than 20 years. From 1845 it received increased accessions, till in 1850 it reports delegates from 20 Associations and 11 Societies. These Societies were formed mostly from the churches of those Associations that did not co-operate. From the depressed condition of the finances of the country during this latter period, its benevolent contributions did not increase in proportion with its numerical strength. From the reports of its annual meetings it appears that its collections for the last nine years up to its session in 1851 inclusive, were for Foreign Missions about $16,000, for Domestic Missions about $14,000, and for the circulation of bibles, tracts, and other religious books between four and five thousand dollars, besides considerable sums collected by agents of these general objects and not reported to the Convention. It has never yet adopted the policy of representation on a monied basis, although it is a reasonable policy, and it is probable its con- tributions might have been increased by it. Its constituents have been from eight to ten representatives from each Association and two from each Society, thus encouraging Associational co-operation rather than that of Societies. Its leading objects of interest from the beginning have been Foreign and Domestic Missions, connected with the education of pious young men for the ministry. Mercer Institute, and University embracing Literary and Theological instruction, has for the last 20 years been the child of its earnest paternal care. GEORGIA STATE CONVENTION.— OFFICERS FOR 1851-2. Hon. Thomas Stocks, Greensboro', Moderator. Rev. P. H. Mell, Penfield, Secretary. Rev. C. M. Irvin, Madison, Assistant Secretary. Thomas J. Burney, Esq., Madison, Treasurer. *** The Georgia Tables were very fully compiled, and the MSS. forwarded to Rev. P. H. Mell, of Penfield, who kindly offered to correct and complete them. He did so, but unfortunately the MSS. was lost on the mail route between Penfield and Philadelphia. We have hastily reconstructed the tables from the materials that were left in our possession, and though the totals are reliable yet the details are very deficient.

STATE CONVENTION. BY REV. B. F. BRABROOK, DAVENPORT. The incipient organization of this body occurred at Iowa City, June, 1842. Its object, as expressed in its published Minutes, to consider the expediency of forming a Territorial Convention for missionary purposes. Rev. Burton Carpenter was elected President, and Rev. W. B. Morey, Secretary. Seven ministers were in attendance, and ten churches were represented through delegates duly appointed. The session was characterized by great unanimity of judgment and devotion of purpose to the appropriate objects of the Convention. The second anniversary of this body was held with the Baptist church in Davenport, June, 1843. Rev. Hezekiah Johnson, President, and Deacon J. T. Fales, Secretary. Eight ministers were in attendance, and eight churches were duly represented. No language can better express the emotions produced by the successive meetings of this session, than that closing its Minutes : — " The Convention was well attended, and a most delightful state of harmony and Christian union characterized all its deliberations. Each seemed to feel the high responsibilities which, as Christians, were imposed upon them, and to separate with an ardent desire for grace to meet them to the Divine acceptance." The third anniversary of the Convention was held with the Baptist church at Mount Pleasant, June, 1844. Rev. Ezra Fisher, President, and Dr. C. G. Blood, Secretary. Eleven ministers were in attendance, and sixteen churches were represented through their delegates. This session was rendered peculiarly impressive by the valedictory instructions and counsels of Rev. brethren Fisher and Johnson, who by their piety, experience, and devotion to the interests of Zion in the Territory, had entwined themselves about the very heart of the denomination. It seemed, indeed, a mysterious providence, that (103) 104 AMERICAN EAPTIST REGISTER. the original standard-bearers should thus be called to the farther West just as the precious seed which they had so laboriously and ■widely scattered, was giving promise of a rich and abundant harvest. But what was an irreparable loss to Iowa, has proved an inestimable gain to Oregon. The Convention held its fourth anniversary with the Baptist church in Muscatine, June, 1845. Rev. Hiram Burnett, President, and Rev. E. C. Brown, Secretary. Twenty-three ministers were present, and twenty-two churches were represented in the body. The session was more numerously attended by visiting brethren from the adjacent states, than any preceding one, and was a season of the deepest interest, which tended very materially to harmonize and settle the principles of its future operations. The fifth anniversary of this body was held with the Baptist church in Iowa City, June, 1846. Rev. B. F. Brabrook, President, and Dr. C. G. Blood, Secretary. This session afforded most pleasing evidence of rapid progress in enlightened and efficient instrumentalities and appliances for the enlarged cultivation of the whitened and imploring fields that destitute Iowa presented on every side. The sixth anniversary of the Convention was held with the Baptist church in Farmington, June, 1847. Deacon J. T. Fales, President, and Rev. W. B. Morey, Secretary. Eighteen ministers were in attendance, and twenty-one churches were duly represented. The all-engrossing subject of consideration at this session, as it had been to some extent, at each preceding session since 1843, was the early establishment of a Collegiate and Theological Institution of Learning within the bounds of the Convention. The Convention, for the first time since its organization, was now called to deplore the loss of two of its faithful and devoted missionaries, Rev. Peter Robinson, of Marion, and Rev. Isaac Whitemore, of Linn county. They were brethren of eminent pietv, " of meek and quiet spirit," indefatigable labor, and pre-eminent usefulness. To human view, the continued life of none could have been more imperiously demanded, but none were better prepared to go. The following resolution may serve to indicate the sentiments entertained by the denomination : — " Resolved, That while we cherish a spirit of humble deference to the Divine appointment, which has thus suddenly bereft us of our endeared brethren in the midst of their increasing usefulness, it iowa. 105 becomes us also to exercise devout gratitude to God, for the eminent services which they were enabled to render the cause of our divine Redeemer during their short pilgrimage, and for the bright example which they have left for our imitation." The seventh annual session of this body was held with the Baptist church in Davenport, June, 1848. Rev. D. P. Smith, President, and Rev. T. H. Archibald, Secretary. There were twenty-two ministering brethren in attendance, and twenty-two churches were represented by their delegates. The session was one of great harmony and marked efficiency. Again the Convention was called to deplore the loss of one of its earlier and most indefatigable missionaries, Rev. M. J. Post, of Pella. The 'Convention held its eighth anniversary with the Baptist church in Iowa City, June, 1849, when the church cordially welcomed the church to their new, commodious, and tasteful meeting house, alike an ornament to the State, and an honor to the denomination, erected mainly through the agency of Rev. D. P. Smith, their pastor, by the munificence of eastern benefactors. Rev. B. F. Brabrook, President, and Rev. T. H. Archibald, Secretary. There were in attendance fourteen ministers, and twenty churches were represented through their delegates. The prevalence of the cholera at this period materially diminished our delegations. Nevertheless the season was one of no inconsiderable interest and advancement to the cause of our blessed Redeemer. The ninth annual meeting of the Convention was held with the Baptist church at Mount Pleasant, June, 1850. Rev. D. P. Smith President, and Rev. S. B. Johnson, Secretary. Twenty-one ministering brethren were present, and fifteen churches were duly represented. Here again, it was the privilege of the Convention to enter a new, and beautiful meeting house, erected by the church, and also to participate in the delightful services of its dedication to Almighty God. And here, too, the pall of gloom was again cast over our annual Convention by the mysterious and overwhelming Providence that summoned us to record the name of another cherished missionary fallen, Rev. W. B. Knapp, and those also of his entire family, who died of cholera. Brother K. July 1st, sister K. and one child the 2d, another the 3d, and the last on the 7th. Thus, within one week the family group were all consigned to the grave. 14 106 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER. The Convention held its tenth annual session with the Baptist church in Muscatine, June, 1851. Deacon J. T. Fales, President, and Rev. S. B. Johnson, Secretary. There were in attendance sixteen ministers, and twelve churches were represented through their delegates. The Convention held also a second session with the Baptist church in Burlington, the September following. Here, as in preceding instances, the Convention was cordially welcomed to a new, commodious, and elegant meeting house, the best of our denomination, if not of any denomination, in the State. Deacon J. T. Fales, President, and Rev. G. J. Johnson, Secretary. Twenty-one ministers were present, and fifteen churches were represented. The session was devoted mostly to missionary and educational purposes. It was gratifying, indeed, to trace the progress of the body for ten years. From about three hundred, it had reached an aggregate of near two thousand members. Then without a meeting house, it now numbers fifteen, and among them some of the most durable, ample, and elegant structures in the State. Others are in process of erection. And more than all, the churches have "a mind to work," and are blessed with a ministry which, though appallingly inadequate to the necessities of the augmenting thousands migrating -within our bounds, is, nevertheless, signally blessed of God in its arduous toil. The scattered sheep are gathered, converts are made to the faith, and our noble rivers and inland streams are all becoming consecrated by their baptismal associations, while at each successive anniversary, as "the redeemed of the Lord" commingle in united counsel and effort for Zion's greater purity, unity, and power, the exclamation is involuntary, "What hath God wrought!" and yet more irrepressible the gushing prayer to "the Lord of the harvest," that " He would send forth more laborers" into this wide-spread, whitened, and imploring "harvest."

The Baptist Church, in Iowa city, was erected in 1845-6j at a cost of $1,300, a large proportion of which sum was collected by Rev. D. L. Smith. The edifice is of brick, 40 by 63 feet. The front steps lead to a portico, supported by Ionic columns, from which is the entrance to the Hall, flanked on either side by antis, each con- taining a flight of stairs to the galleries, and lighted by well pro- portioned windows. The extent of the first story is marked by a handsome marble cornice, upon which rest pilasters, which embellish the second story. The basement contains rooms for the use of Sab- bath Schools, &c. The interior of the building is finished in good style, and is neat and attractive. The pews are well arranged, and will accommodate about 400 persons. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH, IOWA CITY, IOWA.

The fourteenth anniversary of the " General Association of Bap- tists in Kentucky," was held at Hopkinsville, October 20th, 1851. Rev. W. W. Gardner labored for six months as general agent of the Association. In reporting the results of his labors, he says : " Much of the labor which I have performed cannot be reported in dollars and cents. While acting as agent, I have endeavored to perform as much missionary labor as I could consistently with my agency ; and have done what I could, by the way, for Georgetown College, and Covington Theological Institution. I have raised up- wards of one thousand dollars, and, I hope, induced others to raise a larger sum. I have labored in several interesting revivals, and preached one hundred and fifty sermons, during the last six months." Seventeen missionaries were employed during the year. Their reports show, that, in their united labors, they had devoted to missionary labor 1342 days, travelled 12,089 miles, preached 1091 sermons, and baptized 254 converts. The Treasurer reports, that $2,315.63 had been expended. The following are the officers of the Association for 1851-2 : Rev. J. L. Reynolds, D. D., President. Daniel G. Hatch, Corresponding Secretary. F. C. McCalla, Georgetown, Recording Secretary. Gabriel B. Long, Treasurer. Rev. V. E. Kirtley, Lawrenceburg, General Agent. WALNUT STREET BAPTIST CHURCH, LOUISVILLE, KY. The beautiful edifice erected by this Church is situated in a cen- tral and commanding position. The style of architecture is gothic, the dimensions 120 feet by ti4, with a spire 240 feet high. The ground cost $7,500, and the edifice more than $30,000. It was erected for their lamented Pastor, Rev. Thomas Smith. (HO) WALNUT St. BAPTIST CHURCH, LOUISVILLE, KY. KENTUCKY. Ill RETURNS FOR 1851. Baptist Association. CHDRCHES. CONST. COUNTIES. PASTORS.

STATE CONVENTION. The third annual session of this body was held with the Bartho- lomew Church, Ouachita parish, July 19, 1851. The following officers were elected : Rev. W. J. Larkin, Marion, President. J. S. Cleveland, Vernon, Corresponding Secretary. Wm. W. Crawford, Minden, Recording Secretary. James Shannon, Treasurer. The Convention have thus far scarcely commenced the work for which it was organized, as the following extract from the Report seems to indicate. " We believe that there is great destitution, and a great want of energetic and zealous missionaries in almost every portion of the territory comprised within the bounds of this Convention. But your Committee believe that the Convention would better advance its objects by the employment of an agent during the present year, than by the employment of missionaries, as the time for which the Con- vention could employ them would be too short to accomplish much. The following Preamble and Resolution point out the difficulties in the way of success. Future years, we doubt not, will furnish more cheering intelligence. " Whereas, we feel deeply grieved that our Convention has been attended by so few of our brethren; and whereas, we believe that the hearty co-operation of the churches and ministers is essential to efficiency and prosperity ; therefore, "Resolved, — That the Secretary of this Convention be directed to send a copy of these Minutes to all ministers within our boun Is and that we hereby most cordially and respectfully invite every brother who is anxious for the spread of the truth, and who is willing to assist us by his players, counsels and money, to meet us in Conven- tion at our next annual meeting, unless providentially hindered.

The first Baptist church in Maine was organized in 1682, in Kittery, a town at the southwest angle of the State, while it was yet a Province of Massachusetts. In less than a year it was dissolved, owing to the persecutions of the civil authorities, most of the mem- bers emigrating to Cooper River in South Carolina, where its minister, Wm. Screven, formed the first Baptist church, that in Charleston. The second church was not formed till eighty-six years later, (1768) at Berwick, originally a part of the same town of Kittery. The first ordination of a Baptist minister took place there in 1776. The first association, the York, was formed in 1785, containing five churches in Maine, with four ministers. The Bowdoinham Association was formed in 1787, with three churches, containing one hundred and eighty-three members. The germ of the Maine Missionary Society is found in the plan adopted by the Bowdoinham Association in 1789, which bound each minister to preach to destitute churches on specified Sabbaths during the year. Ten years after, this developed itself into what was known as the " Gospel Mission," which, continuing these voluntary labors, also provided an itinerant missionary for destitute parts of the State. In 1804 this developed itself yet further into an organized body of wider compass, called the Maine Missionary Society. It was formed at Readfielcl, with Rev. Sylvanus Boardman, father of the heroic missionary to the Karens, for its first President. In 1824 the Baptist Convention of the State of Maine was formed, and in the next year, leaving the Missionary Society still in exist- ence, undertook its work. In 1842 the Convention transferred back to the Missionary Society this enterprise ; which the latter has been pushing forward with increased force, while the former, composed of all ordained ministers, and one lay messenger from each church in 18 (137) 138 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER. the State, lias for its objects, " to concentrate our influence in the cause of Christ, to cultivate Christian acquaintance, to communicate intelligence respecting the state of religion in the churches, and to gather statistics of the denomination." For the last six years the operations of the Missionary Society have been in the hands of a Central Board, instead of three. or four District committees, and thus its efficiency has been much increased. The average annual receipts for the last five years, excluding the expense of an agent, have been $1894. 87. This does not include operations in the Eastern District of the State, which are in the hands of a local conference. Affiliated with these bodies is the Maine Education Society, formed in 1830, whose average annual receipts for the last six years have been $244. 50. The growth of the denomination for the last six decades is exhib- ited in the subjoined statement.

The Baptists have increased over six times as fast as the population. OFFICERS OF MAINE BAPTIST CONVENTION FOR 1851-2. Kev. Caleb B. Davis, Paris, President. Rev. J. S.

MARYLAND UNION ASSOCIATION. BY EEV. GEORGE F. ADAMS, BALTIMORE. Maryland had been, for many years, among the States most destitute of Baptist influence and practice. With a view to increase the numbers and moral power of the denomination, the " Maryland Baptist Union Association" was formed in 1836, avowedly for the purpose of " advancing the cause of true religion, by efforts to aid feeble churches, and to supply destitute neighborhoods with preach- ing, to encourage the more general diffusion and reading of the sacred Scriptures, and evangelical books and tracts, &c." Its field of operation is the State of Maryland and the District of Columbia. To secure these ends, there is an Executive Board, whose business it is to raise funds and employ missionaries. The business of the Board has generally been conducted with liberality and energy. God has greatly blessed its labors. This Association numbered, at its commencement, six churches, four ministers, and 484 members. Now, at the close of sixteen years, it has 27 churches, 27 ministers, and 2,342 members. Of this increase 14 of the churches have been constituted since its organization, about the same number of places of worship have been erected, and a corresponding number of Sabbath schools established. Eight or ten missionaries and colporteurs are em- ployed in preaching and distributing books and tracts. Although the denomination is still feeble in Maryland ; yet relatively there are few, especially of the old States, in which our increase both as to numbers and influence has been more encouraging.

In 1802, a few devoted men, desirous of extending the influence of the Gospel, organized the " Massachusetts Baptist Missionary Society." Previous to that time, there had been among the Baptists in this country no such organization, and the churches, as such, were almost as indifferent in respect to laboring for the destitute abroad as though the commission had never been given, " Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." Nor is it probable that the founders of that society ever anticipated the results which have directly and indirectly followed their small beginning. But as they looked upon the portions of country which were then newly settled, and contemplated the inability of the sparse population to sustain the preaching of the Gospel, they thought that by combining their influence and their efforts, they might send out missionaries, who would render essential service to the cause of Christ, by proclaiming the truth to the destitute. The field which they proposed to cultivate, may be ascertained, to some extent, from the fourth article of the constitution which they adopted. That article reads thus : " The object of this society shall be to furnish occasional preach- ing and to promote the knowledge of evangelic truth in the new settlements within these United States ; or farther, if circumstances should render it proper." That they had no adequate conceptions of the magnitude of the enterprise in which they had engaged, or the length of time it would take to accomplish it, is, we think, evident from the provision ■which they made in the last article of their constitution, " to dissolve the society when the purposes of its institution shall render its existence no longer necessary." Immediately after their organ- ization, they appointed three missionaries, two of whom were in- structed " to visit the new settlements in the districts of Maine and New Hampshire, and the other to visit the new settlements en the (152) MASSACHUSETTS. 153 north-westerly parts of New York and the adjacent settlements in Canada." The instructions which these missionaries received in regard to the manner of performing their duties were sound and judicious ; and the reports of their labors show how faithfully those instructions were heeded. It would be interesting to trace the pro- gress of that society from year to year, and show the results of its operations, the enlarged spirit of benevolence which it awakened, the interesting information it was the means of bringing before the churches, and the manner in which it prepared the way for the formation of other societies, especially those great national societies which contemplate the whole world under the appellation of Home and Foreign Missions. But suffice it, in this connection to say, that the " Massachusetts Baptist Missionary Society" continued its operations for about thirty years, without any very material change in its constitution and design. Its original founders had nearly all of them passed away, and its labors, instead of being diminished, were yearly becoming more extensive and pressing. About that time, the " American Baptist Home Missionary Society" was formed. And we shall be claiming nothing which is not justly due, in saying that the plan of that noble institution was conceived and matured chiefly by men who had been connected with the '; Massachusetts Baptist Missionary Society." That which afterward became nominally the parent, was in reality the offspring. But in accordance with what was deemed a wise arrangement, this and the several state organizations became auxiliary to the national society. In 1826, it was thought advisable to have the constitu- tion of the old society remodelled, and to have its name changed to that of the " Massachusetts Baptist Convention." The Convention every year has done something for the parent society, and been one of the most efficient auxiliaries of that body. At the same time, it has been fostering with maternal care the feeble churches in our own Commonwealth. It has had, a part of the time, two faithful missionaries, and constantly one mission- ary travelling among the churches, preaching the Gospel to the destitute, — counseling those who were in difficulty, and making peace among those who were at variance. In addition to this, the Convention has, for several years past, afforded pecuniary aid to more than twenty churches annually, enabling some of them to retain pastors, and all of them to maintain preaching, which could not have been effected without such aid. 20 154 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER.

Now the Convention makes the churches agents, and, instead of employing missionaries, aids feeble ohurchea in sustaining pastors. The column headed " Number of MJ MASSACHUSETTS. 155 arics," seems to indicate that for the last seven years but one mis- sionary has been employed. He is at the same time Missionary and General Agent. But, during the same period, it will be seen that an increasing number of churches have been aided, so that a consider- able number of ministers are supported, in whole or in part, by the funds of the Convention.

Tin' edifice w under the supervision of W. W. Boyington, Esq., Architect. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH, SPRINGFIELD MASS. MICHIGAN. STATE CONVENTION. This Convention was formed in 1835. It embraces all the objects of Christian benevolence generally patronized b y the Baptists. In the intervals of its annual meetings its affairs are managed by a Board numbering generally about sixty ministers and laymen. Besides this, each of the departments of Christian labor and benevolence is assigned to an Executive Committee, which reports quarterly to the Board upon their own action and the general interests of the department assigned to them. In addition to the general objects of benevolence, this body has three objects of a purely domestic character. These are ; the department of Domestic Missions for the aid of such feeble churches in the State as do not come within the design of the American Home Mission Board; the " Michigan Christian Herald," a religious newspaper, started in January, 1842; and the Theological Institution at Kalamazoo, which now commands perhaps more of the strength of the denomination in the State than any other object. The sixteenth anniversary of the Convention was held at Ann Arbor, October 9 — 12, 1851. Four missionaries were employed a part of the year in the State directly by the Convention, in commencing the work of Domestic Missions through agencies of their own, at an expenditure of $325. The agent of the Convention had secured a subscription of $10,000 for the Kalamazoo Theological Seminary. OFFICERS OF THE BOARD FOR 1851-2. Rev. S. Chase, Northville, President. R. C.

The geographical position of the Territory of Minnesota, its natural resources, and the intellectual character of its inhabitants, render it one of the most interesting sections for evangelical labor in our country. It was deemed important to occupy it as mission- ary ground at the earliest practicable period, and with that object in view, a pioneer missionary — Rev. J. P. Parsons, of the American Baptist Home Missionary Society, — was among the first to enter the field. He was followed, shortly after, by two others. They occu- pied the three most important villages in the Territory and supplied seven out-stations. A church has been organised in each of those villages, and meeting-houses erected in two of them. The death of Mr. Parsons, while returning to his field of labor from the States, and the removal of other missionaries retarded for a season the progress of the churches in that Territory. But their places have been supplied by other men, and the prospects are encouraging. The following Tables show the commencement of our operations as a denomination in Minnesota: — Minnesota Territory. CHURCHES. CONST. COUNTIES. TASTOR8. BAPT.

Prior to the year 1783, that portion of Mississippi known as the Natchez Country, nominally belonged to Great Britain, but after the treaty of 1783 it passed for a time into the hands of Spain. About this period a company of immigrants from South Carolina and Tennessee, settled in this region. It was the first Protestant community formed in all the wide region of the South West, below the Cumberland mountains. This community was constituted as the " Salem Baptist church," not only without a Presbytery, but without the presence of a single ordained minister. In 1800 a church was constituted four miles from Woodvile, Wilkinson county, by a part of the Ogden family, and others. About the same time, one was constituted on Second Creek, and, we think, was called New Hope. In 1805, the New Providence church, Amite' county, was constituted ; and the Ebenezer in 1806. These five churches met in September, 1806, on Cole's Creek, and organized the Mississippi Baptist Association. From this beginning, by colonization and emigration from other States, have all the other Associations in the State arisen. The Mississippi Convention, as at present constituted, was organized December 23d and 24th, 1836, in Washington, Adams county. Rev. Ashley Vaughan was the first President, and Rev. S. S. Lattimore the first Corresponding Secretary. According to the constitution " the objects of this Convention shall be to organize and digest an operative system of measures in relation to missionary exertions, throughout the State of Mississippi ; to promote religious education ; to support missionary service among the destitute, both at home and abroad ; and to adopt from time to time such measures (173) 174 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER. as shall be considered by the Convention calculated to promote the general interest of the Redeemer's kingdom, particularly within the bounds of this State." The contributions, through the Convention, for Foreign Missions, for the last five years, have averaged $1,500, for Domestic Missions out of the State, $2,000, in the State, $400, for Indian Missions, $800, for education of candidates for the ministry, $200, and for the Bible cause, $1,500. Many Associations employ missionaries within their own bounds, and raise funds, which are forwarded directly to the general Boards. The contributions for benevolent objects from Mississippi, for one year, have reached $7,000. The Convention has rendered assistance to Natchez, Vicksburg, Jackson, Yazoo City, Canton, and Grenada, while the churches in these places have been erecting houses of worship. Since the year 1847, new and elegant houses of worship have been erected in many important places where no Baptist houses of worship existed before. The Convention has been chiefly instrumental in stimulating to the erection of these houses in South Mississippi. At its last session four hundred dollars per year were pledged to sustain Rev. J. P. Herrick as a missionary among the Puttawattomie Indians. The fifteenth anniversary of the Convention was held at Aberdeen, November 6 — 11, 1851. Eleven Associations were represented in the body.

Many of the inhabitants of the new counties of Missouri emigrated from the counties of Boone and Howard. In their new home they found themselves associated with other emigrants from the older States destitute of all Gospel ordinances and privileges. In their destitution they soon sent Macedonian appeals to the ministers residing in the counties whence they had emigrated. These appeals became so numerous and urgent about the year 1833, that a deep interest was awakened in the hearts of those ministers, which led to a private consultation, and finally resulted in a mutual agreement that they would go two and two, and preach to the people in those newly settled counties. Little did those self-sacrificing heralds of the everlasting Gospel think, when they were making their tours of preaching to those destitute settlements, that they were laying the foundation for an organization that would produce so great and permanent results. At their own charges, Elders J. B. Longan, R. S. Thomas, F. Wilhite, T. Fristoe, W. H. Duncan, A. Woods, and others, traveled and preached, and constituted churches and gathered information relative to the spiritual condition of the people. The destitution of Baptist preaching was found to be so great that a spirit of inquiry was awakened in the minds of those heralds of the cross. What shall we do, and how can we supply these people with the living ministry, was earnestly asked, and ultimately a meeting of conference was appointed to be held in June, 1834. At this meeting, the conference agreed to hold another meeting in June, 1835, with the Bonne Femme church in Boone county. At this time the Baptist Central Society of Missouri was organised. As they had neither ministers nor funds, the only alternative they had of doing any thing was to send themselves, as they had been doing (188) MISSOURI. 189 for several years. While these devoted and pious servants of God were prosecuting their labors of love, the elements of opposition were aroused and preparing for the most unrelenting and uncompromising hostility. The anti-missionary spirit now developed itself by making favor to the missionary enterprise a test of church fellowship. The liberty of bestowing their means to the support of the gospel was denied the friends of missions. All the arguments that opposers were capable of presenting to the sordid and selfish propensities of depraved human nature were resorted to, to overthrow the new organization. Politicians were warned to be on their guard, that this was the entering wedge for a union of church and state, and that nothing short of a system of taxation would satisfy these lovers of mammon. These were times that tried men's piety. Yet these excellent men boldly and fearlessly proclaimed that God had ordained and commanded that his everlasting Gospel should be preached to all nations, kindreds, and tongues. The first annual meeting of the General Association was held on the 3d of June, 1836, with the Bethlehem church in Boone county. At this meeting John B. Longan was chosen Moderator, and G. M. Bower, Secretary. Seven ministers, and nine lay brethren gave in their names as members. On the Sabbath, Elder Longan preached a discourse explanatory of the objects of the Society, after which a collection of $51.75, was taken. S. Wilhitewas appointed Treasurer, and the Minutes show a balance on the subscription list of $17.50, which is the whole amount of funds. Brother Anderson Woods was appointed general agent, to preach throughout the State, and promote the objects of the Society. This includes every thing of interest that was done at their first annual meeting. The Minutes of the second annual meeting which was held on the 2d, 3d and 4th days of June, 1837, at Mount Moriah, Howard county, show a considerable increase of members to the Society, and was attended by a number of able ministers from a distance. Eight missionaries were appointed for two months each, and brother Kent Scott was chosen general agent. The executive committee reported very favorably on the success attending the efforts of the missionaries. The Minutes show an increase of funds over last year of $244. The third annual meeting of the Society was held at Columbia, Boone county, June 1st, 1838. Brother Scott, the general agent, had visited ten counties, attended several Associations, collected $75, and obtained $11.50 on subscription, and baptized 126 converts. 190 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER. The brethren were cheered by intelligence of a great revival that had commenced in Cooper county under the labors of brethren Williams and Frost, the former of whom was sustained by the American Baptist Home Mission Society. Between 300 and 400 converts were baptized within the bounds of Concord Association. May 31st, 1839, the Society met at Big Lick, Cooper county, and at this meeting they resolved to be known as " The General Association of United Baptists of Missouri." The Minutes show an increase of members, an increase of missionary labor, and a considerable increase of funds, and great cause for gratitude to God for his blessing upon their feeble efforts. The fifth annual meeting of the Association was held at Paris, Monroe county, August 28, 1840. Many new names were added to the list of members, and the Treasurer's report exhibited a balance of $342.14 after paying off all demands. The sixth annual meeting of the Association was held with the Chariton church, Howard county, on the 27th day of August, 1841. Elder N. Flood had been employed as general agent, and reported 9 months labor, preached 170 sermons, traveled in the bounds of fifteen Associations, collected $384, and obtained pledges for $197.50. The joint labor of the missionaries was 13 months and 17 days, 69 persons baptized, and four churches constituted, all in destitute portions of the State. The seventh meeting of the Association was held with the Richland church, Calloway county, on the 26th of August, 1842. A committee of brethren was appointed to inquire into the expediency of publishing a Baptist periodical as speedily as possible, under the sanction of the Association. An effort was also made to establish a depository of our denominational books in the city of St. Louis. From the efforts that were made at this meeting it is very apparent that the Association had taken a strong hold on the affections of the denomination, and that it was casting off all fears from the anti- missionary party. The eighth annual meeting was held with the church in Jefferson City, August 23d, 1843. Sixteen churches were represented, mostly located in the bounds of the Mount Pleasant Association, where the General Association had its origin. The committee on the subject of a periodical reported that 12 nos. of the " Missouri Baptist" had been published. A collection of $15.10 was taken up in favor of Foreign Missions, the first thing of the kind that had ever beeo done MISSOURI. 191 at any of the meetings of the Association. The amount of missionary- labor performed was not reported. The ninth annual meeting of the Association was held with the Mount Moriah church, Howard county, August 23d, 1844. The report of the executive committee showed that nine missionaries had been laboring in various portions of the State. They reported 84 baptisms. The tenth annual meeting of the Association was held with the church at Columbia, Boone county, August 28th, 1845. At this meeting a great deal of important business was transacted calculated to promote the Redeemer's kingdom. Very able and interesting reports on the subject of Foreign Missions, Sunday Schools, and the American and Foreign Bible Society, were adopted. The contributions now increased to $664.93. Ten missionaries were employed for three months each. They reported 74 baptisms. The eleventh annual meeting of the Association commenced its session with the church at Livingston, Lafayette county, August 27, 1846. The Minutes show 42 churches represented by their delegates, and four Associations. Their contributions amounted to $807.40, and the Treasurer's account showed a balance of cash on hand of $741.44. The missionaries reported 13 months, labor, and 24 baptisms. The failure on the part of the missionaries to perform the labor assigned them, is attributable to the great amount of sickness that pervaded our State during that season. The importance of establishing a religious periodical was presented to the Association by a very able report, and a committee of three appointed to prepare a prospectus and procure subscribers. The twelfth annual meeting of the Association was held with the Walnut Grove church, Boone county, August 26, 1847. A very interesting report on the subject of a periodical was presented, and the first move for an institution of learning was here projected by Dr. Lynd. A provisional committee of five was appointed to originate an institution of learning for the Baptist denomination. Very able and interesting reports on nearly all the benevolent objects of the times were adopted, which gave an increased impetus to the cause of the missionary enterprise. The missionaries reported 26 months, labor, and 80 baptisms. At this meeting the executive Board appointed 11 missionaries. The Association held its thirteenth anniversary with the church at Big Lick, Cooper county,. August 24th, 1848. The report's 192 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER. exhibit that a periodical is in circulation with 1075 subscribers, that upwards of $16,000 in subscriptions have been obtained for the literary institution. The executive Board appointed 15 missionaries. The cash paid into the treasury at this meeting would employ one missionary 4 years and eight months. The missionaries reported 45 months labor since the last meeting, and 288 baptisms. A very neatly printed pamphlet of thirty-two pages contains the proceedings of the fourteenth annual meeting of the Association, held with the Mount Nebo church, Cooper county, August 23, 1849. At this meeting a new interest was got up in behalf of the German population in the valley of the Mississippi, and delegates were appointed to meet in convention at St. Louis, the last week in October. The provisional committee on the College report that they have located the College in the town of Liberty, Clay county, and name it William Jewell College, and that the subscriptions amounted to $00,000. The executive Board reported they had had thirteen missionaries in the field, and appointed 19 for the ensuing year, and required them to perform 65 months, labor. There were $1,035.94 paid into the treasury at this meeting. The Association from its organization had never failed to meet its liabilities. Its greatest difficulty had been to find competent ministers. The fifteenth anniversary of the General Association, in 1850, was held Avith the Bonne Femme church, Boone county, August 22d. The receipts were 1,049.54. Sixteen missionaries had been employed, and reported 955 sermons preached, and 161 converts baptized. The sixteenth annual meeting was held at Liberty, Clay county, the seat of the William Jewell College. Some fift}r churches were represented, and the Treasurer's report exhibits an aggregate of $2,118.64 collected for the purposes of the Association. OFFICERS OF THE GENERAL ASSOCIATION, FOR 1851-2.

The first church of our denomination was organized at Newton, 1755 ; but owing to the strong opposition to our views and efforts, it is not strange that our churches did not increase very rapidly. In May, 1819, an invitation was given to the Baptist churches in. the State through the "N. H. Patriot," and the" Concord Observer," to hold a general meeting at the Tacon House, Concord, on the first Wednesday in June, for the purpose of forming a Domestic Missionary Society. The records of that meeting say : — " Agreeably to the above notice, a number of regular Baptists, both ministers and private mem- bers, assembled at the Town House," etc. " Elder Otis Robinson was chosen moderator, Elder William Taylor, scribe." A preamble and constitution were adopted, in which the object is stated to be "particu- larly to spread the gospel more generally through the destitute parts of New Hampshire. ' ' The members were to pay one dollar a year, or more, which was to be expended in employing missionaries in such places in the State, or elsewhere, as might be deemed proper by the Board. About forty persons became members at that time. It was recom- mended to the churches to form Mite and Cent Societies, to aid the funds of the Society. Such were the beginnings of organized efforts in New Hampshire. A small amount of funds was raised, and brethren were appointed to fulfill missions of two, four and six weeks, in feeble destitute churches ; and others were appointed occasionally to solicit contri- butions. Through these incipient labors, some of our now most efficient churches were collected and nourished in their infancy. In June 1828, the Baptist Convention having been organized, and (207) ' 208 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER. embracing within its designs the objects contemplated by the N. II. Domestic Missionary Society, its books and funds were transferred to the Convention, and the Society was dissolved. During its ope- rations it collected and expended about $3,000. The trustees of an academy at New Hampton were desirous of placing it under the patronage of the Baptist denomination, and of so changing its character that it might afford instruction in literary and theological studies. To effect this a corporate body was neces- sary on the part of the Baptists, to share in its supervision. Ac- cordingly in June, 1825, delegates from several Baptist churches met and organized the New Hampshire Baptist State Convention, at which time a proposition of the trustees of the Academy was accepted, and measures adopted to secure funds. At the present time the Conven- tion appoints all the trustees of the Academical and Theological Insti- tution at New Hampton. The general object of the Convention however was, " to combine the energies and raise the tone of religious feeling in the denomination, in relation to the various benevolent objects of the day." Consequently money has been collected and paid into its treasury for Foreign, Home and Domestic Missions, Bible and Tract Societies, and Theological Institutions ; though Do- mestic Missions and Theological Institutions were objects which at first more particularly engaged its attention. In carrying on its operations in the State instead of sustaining permanent missionaries, it has generally aided feeble churches in sustaining pastors. The amount expended in building up the cause in the State, during the twenty-five years of its operations, is not far from $29,500, exclusive of the $3,000 appropriated by the Do- mestic Missionary Society. At the time of the organization of the Missionary Society, there were in the State 53 Baptist churches, 3,700 members and 35 pas- ters. Now we have 96 churches, 75 ministers, and SUS'.i communi- cants, making an increase in 33 years of 43 churches, 49 ministers, and 4389 members. At least one-half of our churches have been aided by the Convention, many of which have become efficient bodies, not only able to meet their own expenses but also to contribute libe- rally to the assistance of others.

Those familiar with the history of New Jersey Baptists, are aware that all their churches, constituted from the year 1688 to 1791, united with the Philadelphia Association. The only provision made, during this period, to supply the destitute with the ministry of re- conciliation, consisted in volunteer service. Under this arrangement, brethren filling the pastoral office, by leaving their own people des- titute, were enabled to spend, each, one Lord's day in three months among those who seldom or never enjoyed the means of grace at any other time. The first account of a Baptist Missionary Society in New Jersey with which we have met, is included in a short paragraph in a circu- lar letter written by the late Rev. William Collier, and published with the Minutes of the New York Association for 1803. The prob- ability is that this was originated by the prominent and more enter- prising brethren in the Western and Central parts of the State ; for- when the Convention met in 1811, to form the "New Jersey Baptist Association," while in session a resolution was passed, commending the "New Jersey Baptist Mission Society" to the sympathies and pat- ronage of the churches there represented. And at their Annual Meeting in 1812, a report, showing the state of its finances, was pre- sented and published with the Minutes. We are able to furnish the reader with only an imperfect account of the funds collected by the Society or of the Missionary labor performed through its instru- mentality during the period of its existence, because we have met with no published account of its doings previous to the organization of the "New Jersey Baptist Association." The sum collected, how< (214) NEW JERSEY. 215 from 1812 to 1830, a period of 18 years, will not much exceed $1800. The brethren who from time to time labored as Missionaries were employed for periods varying from two weeks to nine months. But there was no single year in which the aggregate of labor under the auspices of this Society was equal to an entire year for one man. After spending thirty years Avith the limited amount of funds placed at their disposal, and the scanty number of men em- ployed, in the important work of exploring the State, the brethren became fully convinced that the vast and increasing moral and reli- gious destitution every where presenting itself to view around them, was too great to be fully and successfully supplied, unless a society could be organized on a basis calculated to secure more generally the sympathies and co-operation of the churches throughout the State. With this conviction, and with the fond hope that a plan might be settled upon, by means of which the object, for which they had so long and earnestly prayed and labored, might be attained, a meeting was called at Nottingham Square, July 27, 1880, when the " New Jersey Baptist State Convention " was organized. The friends and ardent supporters of this enterprise felt at the com- mencement of their operations no little anxiety in consequence of the determined and bitter hostility to missionary efforts, known to exist in different sections of the State. They justly apprehended that strenuous exertions would be made to cripple them in their ef- forts, and if possible to prevent their success. But conscious that they were influenced by a desire for nothing less than the Glory of God, and the Salvation of Souls, and in the exercise of an humble and firm reliance on Him who had said, " Lo I am with you alway even to the end of the world," they ventured forward in the work in which they had so unreservedly and zealously embarked. At the first An- nual meeting they made an affectionate and earnest appeal to the churches throughout the State, in which a touching account was given of the condition of many feeble churches, languishing and with- ering for want of the stated ministrations of the word and of the ad- ministration of the ordinances of Christ, and of the multitudes of their fellow men perishing for lack of knowledge, and in which they earnestly solicited their sympathies and co-operation. This appeal received a generous and hearty response. About twenty-two years have elapsed since this Society commenced its career of usefulness, within which time most of the opposition at first manifested has subsided. By degrees the churches have engaged in 216 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER. the good work until there remains at present but five Baptist churches in New Jersey professedly opposed to Missionary enter- prise. Twenty-two years ago with $659 09 in the treasury the So- ciety commenced its work with a fixed determination to persevere in prosecuting this noble and praiseworthy object, until with the Divine blessing no portion of the State should be left without the Word of Life and the ordinances of the Gospel. There has been a steady in- crease in the amount of funds contributed and a corresponding in- crease in the efficiency with which the efforts of the denomination have been characterized. The amount received within the above named period for this object alone is $38,496 58, which is an average of about $1,749 84J per annum. This includes the amount collected at the last Anniversary, and an annuity of $124. The whole amount that has been expended, ending with the last financial year, is $36,643 91, which is on an average about $1,665 63 per annum. The amount of labor performed within the last 22 years by about 112 different brethren is in the aggregate equal to 270 years of one man. The number hopefully converted, and that have been baptized on a profession of their faith is 2,490, an average of about 113 per annum. Were we to extend an estimate of results realized, in con- nection with the efforts of this Society, no farther than what is em- braced in the statement already made, we should find abundant cause for gratitude to our Heavenly Father for the signal blessing with which He has crowned the labors of his servants. But great, glorious results have been realized by the denomination in New Jersey in other re- spects. Scattered and wandering disciples have been sought out and reclaimed ; brethren long and sadly estranged from each other by imaginary differences in religious sentiment, have met together, be- come reconciled and are now heartily laboring together for the ad- vancement of the Redeemer's cause ; feeble churches have been built up and strengthened ; new and flourishing interests have risen up in almost every county in the State, and many precious souls ready to perish have been converted to God, while the number and efficiency of the churches have been greatly increased. It has been found true in the experience of those who have been engaged in this bli work, that "they who go forth bearing precious Beed, weening, Bhall return again rejoicing and bringing their sheaves with them." This may be found verified in a remarkable degree in the case of the New Jersey Baptists, by tracing their history fur the last 150 Tears. In the year 1700 they numbered only three churches, and during NEW JERSEY. 217 the succeeding 100 years they increased from three to only 26 churches. In 1761, the whole number of communicants in the State, amounted to only 543. From that time to 1800, a period of 40 years the num- ber added to the churches by baptism was 3524, an average of about 88 per annum. During the same period the membership increased to 1976, about 36 per annum. From the year 1801 to 1830 a pe- riod of 30 years the churches increased in number from 26 to 55. Within the same period there were 5606 added by baptism, an av- erage of about 187 per annum. The membership increased in num- ber to 3973, an average increase of about 66 per annum. From 1831 to 1851, embracing a period of about 21 years, the number of churches, after deducting 13 that have disbanded and 5 that occupy anti-mission ground, have increased from 55 to 101. The number that have been baptized is 16,148, an average of about 769 per annum, and number of communicants have increased to 13,517, an average of about 454 per annum. The following sums have been contributed within the last 22 years, by the Baptists in New Jersey, viz. : — $20,513 18 for Foreign Mis- sions ; $17,519 07 for American Baptist Home Mission Society ; $6,985 40 for American and Foreign Bible Society; $2,270 68 for American Baptist Publication Society; $1,938 06 for miscellaneous objects, which, including contributions to Convention fund, makes the sum of $87,722 97. The amount would, no doubt, have been greater if the churches had from the first been as particular in reporting as they have been within the last few years. As it stands, however, it will scarcely be disputed that New Jersey Baptists will compare very favorably with their brethren in other States for benevolent contributions.

The new house of worship now being erected at Haddonfield, is one of the most beautiful in the state. The style is " Norman By- zantine," from designs furnished by J. E. Carver, Architect, Phila- delphia. It is built entirely of brown sand stone, and surmounted by a handsome spire, with clock and bell. Its dimensions are 42 by 65 feet ; when finished it will cost about $8,000. This church was constituted in 1818. For more than twenty years Rev. J. Sisty was Pastor. It is now under the pastoral charge of Rev. A. S. Patton, and is in a prosperous condition. NEW MEXICO. The establishment of churches in this Territory is attended with peculiar difficulties. Its geographical position is interior and iso- lated ; its native inhabitants are only partially civilized Mexicans, warlike and even cruel savages, and a comparatively few Americans, a considerable portion of whom are indifferent to the religious or moral improvement of society. The prevalent and almost universal religion, is a species of Romanism, or, as it has been called, Mexi- canism. The practical fruits of which are to be seen in the extreme ignorance and dark moral turpitude of the people. A prominent element of the struggle on this field, therefore, will be that of divine revelation against human tradition ; of scriptural practice against puerile ceremonies ; of the purity and holiness of the Bible against the sensuality and pollution of ignorant, depraved, and degraded human appetites. This struggle must be commenced with powerful odds against evangelical instrumentalities, but, with the encourage- ments of the word of God, should be commenced and firmly perse- vered in, as circumstances require. Rev. H. W. Read, the pioneer missionary to New Mexico, re- turned in 1851 to the States, and spent several months in labors to awaken a more general interest, and incite to more efficient labors for the evangelization of the New Territory. Other missionaries have gone into the field and are commencing the foundations upon which to raise future churches. No church had been organized at the last advices.

The Baptist Missionary Convention of the State of New York, was organized at a meeting of delegates from the Otsego, Oneida, Madison, Franklin, and Cayuga Associations, held in the town of Mentz, Cayuga Co., November 21, 1821, under the name of " The Bantist Domestic Missionary Convention of the State of New York and vicinity." In May, 1825, it was united with the " Hamilton Baptist Missionary Society," or rather that society was so expanded as to embrace the Convention, an Act having been passed by the Legislature, April 25, 1825, changing its name to that of " the Baptist Missionary Convention of the State of New York." The Convention, therefore, dates its anniversaries from the origin of that society, which was in 1807. It was formed on the 27th of August of that year, at the house of Rev. Nathan Baker, in Pompey, Onondaga Co., and consisted of twenty members, and com- menced its operations with $20 in its treasury. Rev. Salmon Morton was its first missionary, and was paid $4 per week for his services. At its organization it was called the " Lake Baptist Mis- sionary Society," but at its first annual meeting held at Pitcher, Chenango Co. it was changed to that of " Hamilton Baptist Missionary Society." The essential features of the organization remained un- changed in its expansion into the Missionary Convention of the State, and have continued so until the present time. It had its origin in the wants and destitution of the scattered and rapidly growing settlements of Central and Western New York. Indeed, Western New York, now the garden of the State, with its numerous population and its flourishing cities and villages, was at that time an almost unbroken wilderness. But the tide of emigration was ra- pidly setting west. Our fathers were men adapted to their times, (223) 224 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER. and sought to provide for the religious wants of the constantly enlarging field around them. The Convention has thus been in- timately identified with the growth and prosperity of the denom- ination in the State ; has been, under God, one of the main instrumentalities in securing that prosperity and growth. A large number of the eight hundred churches in the State, have- been, in the days of their weakness and infancy, the recipients of its bounty, and numbers of them are now among our strongest and most pro- minent churches. We mention, in illustration, Washington Street Church, Buffalo ; Bleecker Street Church, Utica ; First Church, Williamsburg ; First Church, Syracuse ; First Church, Oswego ; Binghampton Church, Watertown Church, Owego Church, &c. The Convention has also exerted a very healthful and effective influence in promoting union among the ministry and churches, in efforts for the advancement of the cause of Christ. Nor have its labors been confined to the State of New York. Northern and Western Pennsylvania, portions of Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Canada, have received its aid. At present, however, its field of effort is mainly within the State. It also early had its attention turned to the religious wants of the Indians. Its efforts have been principally among the Senecas, Oneidas, and Tuscaroras ; a station is still maintained among the latter, at Tonawanda, Erie Co. The " Neiv York Baptist Register" which has been the organ and property of the Convention for more than a quarter of a cen- tury, was originated by a few brethren in the vicinity of Utica in 1824, and edited by Rev. Messrs. Galusha and Wiley. At the annual meeting of the Convention in the fall of that year, an arrangement was made by which it became the property of the Convention, and A. M. Beebee, Esq., its present editor, was engaged to conduct it. The first paper issued under this arrangement was on the 4th of March, 1825. The " Register" has always been an important aid to the Convention, and to every other good work connected with the prosperity and progress of the denomination in the State. Since 1821 the Convention has made 378 appointments of mis- sionaries, whose labors amount to 240 years of time ; it lias made 800 appropriations in aid of feeble churches, and expended, fin- bracing what it has paid into the treasury of the American Ba] Home Mission Society, $220,648.31. The largest amount it has received in any single year was in L839, being $19,634.70, and it NEW YORK. 225 paid into the treasury of the American Baptist Mission Society that year (being then auxiliary to it) $9,547.99. The business of the Convention has been conducted by a Board of Directors, whose meetings have been held at different places, usually in the central part of the State. But at the last annual meeting held at Elmira Chemung Co., October 8th and 9th, 1851, the following article was added to the Constitution : " Immediately after the annual meeting of the Convention, the Board of Directors shall meet and elect an Executive Committee, consisting of such number, located in such place, charged with such duties, and subject to such regulations, as the Board may deem best adapted to the interests of the Convention ; the location being sub- ject to the instruction of the Convention at any annual meeting." Such an Executive Committee was elected by the Board, consist- ing of thirteen brethren, located in the city of Albany and vicinity, who are charged with the conducting of the business of the Conven- tion for the year.

STATE CONVENTION. BY REV. S. J. WHEELER, M. D., MURFREESBORO. The first effective meeting of a general character among the Bap- tists of North Carolina was held in Greenville, Pitt Co., commencing 10th February, 1829. Prior to that time a few churches and associations met, at irregular intervals, in what was called the " General Meeting of Correspon- dence." The constituency of the " General Meeting " was mostly in the eastern counties, and singularly enough, among the members of the " Meeting," are to be found the names of some, who have since, shone conspicuously among the anti-missionaries. Joshua Lawrence of Tarboro, at one time manifested some interest in the missionary operations of the "Meeting," and was a regular member. For proof,see minutes of "General Meeting of Correspondence," in the library of the Female Collegiate Institute at Murfreesboro'. Let me remark in passing that the largest and best collection of histor- ical matter pertaining to the Baptists of North Carolina, is to be found in the library of the Institute at Murfreesboro'. On the 26th March, 1830, the " General Meeting " was merged into the " State Convention." Elder P. W. Dowd was elected pres- ident ; Elders Biddle and Meredith and Brother C. McAllister Vice Presidents ; Elder John Armstrong Corresponding Secretary ; R. S. Blount Recording Secretary, and H. Austin Treasurer. The most of these excellent men have gone to their final reward. The " Gen- eral Meeting of Correspondence," which was sometimes called the " North Carolina Baptist Benevolent Society," confined its opera- tions to supplying the destitute in our own State ; but the Conven- tion enlarged its operations, and declared its " primary objects to be : '253) 254 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER. the education of young men called of God to the ministry ; the em- ployment of Missionaries in the State, and a co-operation with the Baptist General Convention of the United States in the promotion of missions in general." The following persons composed the Board of Directors, viz. : Charles J. Skinner, H. A. Skinner, Thomas D. Mason, Daniel Boon, Samuel Wait, Wm. Sanders, Elijah Clark, Jas. G. Hall, Peter P. Laurence, J. Hartmus, Jos. B. Outlaw, W. J. Hintoh, Jacob Rascoe, Samuel Simpson, John Purify, Jas. McDaniel, G. Huckaby, J. Holamon. The Convention elected Elder Samuel Wait General Agent. The Treasurer's report exhibits $220 62 for Home Missions ; $55 for Education. At the next Anniversary held at Roger's X Roads, Wake Co., it was resolved that the sessions of the Convention should be held thereafter in August instead of April. A considerable impetus was given to the cause of benevolence by the large distribution of a circular by that excellent man, Peter P. Laurence, Esq., of Tarboro, who acted as Corresponding Secretary in 1829. The circular sent to the writer of this sketch is dated 10th July of that year. For nearly twenty-three years has that circular been carefully preserved, as a memento of the zeal of a venerable friend. Nor will grati- tude cease to remember Brother Laurence's fellow laborers and co- temporaries connected with local societies prior to 1829. In the records of the " Raleigh Missionary Society, among other names, ap- pear those of Jno. Purify, G. Huckaby, aided by that fearless champion of truth the late Elder Robt. T. Daniel. Brethren Jno. Blount, Wm. Wilson, Jno. Wheeler, and Thomas Brownrigg were the strong supports of the " Chowan Missionary Society," while El- der Biddle, the late General Simpson and others, accomplished great good in the " Neuse Baptist Missionary Society." The most of these worthies have fallen asleep ; a few remain to admonish us to be vigi- lant in our mighty work, that we too shall soon pass away and our opportunity to do good be gone forever. These local societies all ceased and formed one body March 26th, 1830 ; in the town of Greenville — a place consecrated to the memory of revolutionary pa- triotism and deeds of noble daring — a spot well deserving to be the birth place of that noble institution, the "Baptist State Convention of North Carolina." Perhaps it should be here remarked that the first movement in favor of missions among the baptists of N Carolina, (if not in America,) took place in the Kehuki , ti"n. on a motion of that man of God, Elder Martin Ros3, in which he wai NORTH CAROLINA. 255 ably sustained by the lamented Spivey ; and to the giant influence of Elders Ross and Spivey may we attribute the circumstance that the Chowan Association, (which sprung from the Kehukee in 1806,) took a vigorous stand in behalf of missions at an early date. The Convention at Reaves M. H., Chatham Co., held Aug. 3-7th, 1832, was a most effective meeting. Here the first step was taken towards the establishment of a periodical under the auspices of the denomination in the State. This resulted in the establishment of the "Interpreter," a monthly pamphlet of 24 pp., by the Rev. T. Meredith, which was changed to a weekly under the title of the " Bib- lical Recorder," in 1835. Afterwards, it was united with the Southern Watchman, (the Baptist organ of South Carolina,) and then assumed the name of the "Recorder and Watchman," which was for several years the organ of our brethren in both the Carolinas. At the Con- vention of 1832 it was resolved unanimously to " purchase a farm, and adopt other . preliminary measures for the establishment of a Baptist Literary Institution, on the Manual Labor Princijrte." Ac- cordingly J. G. Hall, W. R. Hinton, J. Purify, A. S. Wynn, S. J. Jeffreys were appointed "a committee to raise two thousand dollars for the purchase of a farm." Thus originated "Wake Forest Insti- tute," which went into operation on 1st February, 1834, with 25 stu- dents. After a full trial, (as was believed,) of the manual labor plan, that department of the Institution was discontinued. In 1839 the Institute was changed into "Wake Forest College," with power to confer degrees, and has held its way amid the fears of friends and opposition of enemies, until it has attained " a literary reputation be- yond its years." Perhaps no organization under the auspices of our churches has done so much to elevate the character of the Baptists of North Carolina among intelligent men as has Wake Forest Col- lege. Its graduates wherever they are, are the friends of all movements of the Convention, and seem to appreciate the real interests of the Church, more clearly than some who are members. The session of 1833 was held in Chatham county. Rev. Dr. S. Wait was chosen agent of the " Wake Forest Institute," and to his labo- rious efforts, do we owe, in a great measure, the origin and continued existence of the College and Convention ; for both which he toiled as agent with an energy, and perseverance that has resulted in their present prosperous condition. The sessions were held annually after 1832, in November, until 1840, when the Convention met on Friday before 1st Lord's-day in October at Liberty, Johnson Co. Here 256 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER. Matthew Yates, (at present missionary to China,) " was received as a beneficiary and sent to Wake Forest College." In 1841 the Con- vention met on " Friday preceding the 3d Sabbath in October," and every session since has been held at the same time of the year. For the first time, the Convention appointed a committee on statis- tics in 1841, which continued to report for several years the statistical condition of every Association in the State, and a complete list of all the Baptist ministers, and their post-office addresses. It has been a source of regret that for several years past, there has been no report on statistics presented to the Convention. Such reports increase the interest of the published proceedings, and give the denomination an appearance of unity and compactness in the entire State, the good effects of which is readily apparent. The finances of the first session of the convention have been stated, and it may be interesting to see a condensed view of the op- erations of the Convention from its origin to the present time. NO.

After nearly two years of preparatory effort by the Cincinnati Baptist Missionary Society, this body was organized by a meeting of delegates convened for the purpose, at Zanesville, May, 1826, under the name of " The Convention of the Baptist Denomination of the State of Ohio." As first organized, it consisted only of delegates from Churches, Associations, and primary societies. Be- sides such delegates, any member of a Baptist church may now become a member of the Convention by the payment of one dollar a year, — a life member by the payment of ten dollars at one time, — and an honorary life trustee by the payment of thirty dollars at one time. The object of the Convention still remains, as at first stated in the constitution, to wit, "to organize and digest an operative system of measures in relation to missionary exertions through- out the State of Ohio, and from time to time to adopt such means as shall be deemed by the Convention calculated to promote the general prosperity of the Redeemer's cause, particularly within the bounds of this State." A special object of attention, at the outset, was the establish- ment of a weekly religious newspaper. Hence originated the " Baptist Weekly Journal" in July, 1831, now published under the title of the Journal and Messenger. The various objects of Christian benevolence have also, at the successive annual meetings, been noticed with favor and recommended to the patronage of the churches. But the work of domestic missions, within the bounds of the State, has been the primary and chief object of attention. For the promotion of this work alone, agents have been employed, and the funds contributed have been appropriated. At first the 35 (273) 274 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER. work proceeded feebly and slowly ; the churches were few, scattered, and feeble, and of the entire membership in the State, (say 7000 in all,) about one-half were opposed to missions. The amount of funds raised the first six years was $1790, — an average of less than $300 a year ; for the next seven years, up to May, 1839, the amount raised was $4,345.73, — an average of $620.82 a year : total, for thirteen years, $6,135.73, — an average of $471.98 a year. During this period, the missionaries employed were mostly engaged in the itinerant service, with an allowance from the treasury of the Convention, the greater part of the time, of from ten to sixteen dollars per month. Good was accomplished. But the exigencies of the case were very inadequately met ; and the more liberal friends of the cause were prompted to devise and carry into execu- tion a more efficient scheme of operations. In 1838-39, Rev. Reuben Winchell, then employed as the agent of the American Baptist Home Missionary Society, in Ohio, at the suggestion of a lay brother, proposed the raising of what they called the " Village Fund," consisting of subscriptions by individuals of five and ten dollars a year, to be appropriated in sustaining pastor3 in county seats and other towns and villages, — not exceeding $100 a year to each place. The plan was adopted, and this effort consti- tutes an important era in the history of the Convention, and in the progress of the Baptist cause in Ohio. Convenient and well located meeting-houses have arisen ; self-sustaining churches have multiplied ; the number of pastors and evangelists, wholly devoted to their work, has increased. The plan has proved eminently suc- cessful, and is still carried forward on a constantly expanding scale, with the single modification of allowing larger appropriations where they seem imperatively needed. During the first year, ending May, 1S40, the amount of funds raised was $1,551.52; twenty missionaries were employed ; aid was given to churches in nineteen towns and villages ; and the time of missionary service equalled thirteen years of one man. During the last year, closing October, 1851, the amount of funds raised was $3,948.39; 34 missionaries and agents were employed, whose united service was equal to over 21 years of one man ; and aid was given to 27 county seats and other important towns and villages, besides a large number of out- stations, where the seed of Divine truth was sown with a liberal band. During the whole period of twelve years ami five months since the " Village Effort" was commenced, the amount of funds ohio. 275 raised and expended by the Convention is $31,112.21, — an average of over $2,500 a year ; and the average of missionary labor has been equal to that of 22 men in constant service. The increase in number and in strength of the Baptist churches in Ohio, for the last twenty-five years, has been very largely pro- moted by home and domestic missionary effort. Besides the labors of the Convention sketched above, much has been done by the American Baptist Home Missionary Society. In 1833, and for several years subsequently, Ohio occupied a prominent place in its field of operations. Much has also been done by our district Associations, and other local organizations. The amount of funds raised and expended by these local bodies, for the year ending with October last, was about $2000, — making the entire amount raised and expended in the State, last year, for domestic missions, not less than $6000. Our churches are, in a good degree, awake to the importance and magnitude of this work of home evangelization. Our motto is onward. While we now have only about 450 churches, — many of them very feeble, — we have ample room in territory and prospect- ively in population for a thousand. We labor in hope. " The little one shall become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation : I the Lord will hasten it in the proper time." EFFORTS IN BEHALF OF FOREIGN MISSIONS. On the 6th of August, 1815, Rev. Luther Rice preached in the Court House in Zanesville, and received a collection of $35.67 for the Baptist Board of Foreign Missions. This was five years pre- vious to the organization of the First Baptist Church in Zanesville. It was the first personal visit of an agent to Ohio on that errand, and is believed to be the first public collection made in the State for our foreign missions. Mr. Rice made two or three visits to Ohio in subsequent years. The five Associations then existing in the State, embracing 89 churches, and less than 3000 members, all in some form, and to a greater or less extent, favored the new enter- prise of evangelizing the heathen. During five years, to April, 1820, the amount of contributions was $1,932.67. During the next year, ending April, 1821, $200 are credited to Ohio, and also $100 in goods and produce for the Indian Mission near Fort Wayne, Indiana ; and during the year ending April, 1822, contri- 276 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER. butions were made to the amount of $985.69, mostly in goods and produce for the Fort Wayne Mission, from the Miami and Mad River Vallies. A part of these contributions was not included in the treasury reports of the Board. For the next ten years very little, and in most of them nothing, was contributed to the Foreign Mission treasury. Among the causes of this decline these may be enumerated ; want of an active agency in the field, want of mis- sionary intelligence, want of confidence in the enterprise itself, and prejudices created by false rumors in regard to the conduct of the work. During eighteen years, up to April, 1833, the whole amount credited to Ohio by the treasury of Board was $2,341.21, — an average of about $130 a year. The organization of the State Convention in 1826, the publica- tion of a monthly periodical at Zanesville, by Rev. G. C. Sedwick, commenced in 1826, and continued till superseded by the Baptist Weekly Journal in 1831 ; the establishment of the Granville Col- lege in 1831 ; the operations of the American Baptist Home Mis- sionary Society, commenced in 1832 ; the annual meetings of the Western Baptist Convention at Cincinnati, in November, 1833, and several subsequent years, with the circulations of its proceedings and reports ; and especially the visit of Mr. and Mrs. Wade, returned missionaries, at the first of these Conventions, in 1833, together with what, though last named, is not least, the valuable labors of the late Rev. Alfred Bennett, whose series of annual visits to Ohio and other Western States, as agent in behalf of the cause of foreign missions commenced with the same Convention in 1833, — were the chief instrumentalities whose combined influence led the Baptists of Ohio to engage, with new system, and efficiency in the various forms of evangelical enterprise, and especially with a larger measure of activity in the cause of foreign missions. During the ten years, ending April 1, 1843, the amount raised in Ohio for our foreign mission treasury was $9,620.75, — an average of about a year. Since April 1, 1843, an agent has been employed most of the time in Ohio and the adjoining States. Under the favorable influ- ences which have been exerted, and especially through the wider diffusion of missionary intelligence and tho activo co-operation of pastors, the pecuniary contributions have greatly increased, and the churches have several representatives in the field abroad. For the nine years ending April 1, 1852, the amount of contributions ohio. 277 from Ohio is $38,591, — an annual average of nearly $4,300. The present rate is about $5,500 a year. STATE SOCIETIES.

In 1843, a few Baptist brethren and sisters from Illinois and Missouri, in company with other enterprising pioneers crossed the Rocky Mountains in search of a home in the mild and salubrious clime of the western slope of the Cascade range of mountains, where the labors of the husbandman were said to be generously rewarded by the unfailing crops of small grain and vegetables, and where their flocks and herds might fatten on the rich and luxuriant grasses which every where grew, in great abundance, on the extended prairies of the many and almost endlessly variegated vallies, through which the pure mountain streams rolled in their course to the great deep ; thus fondly hoping to exempt themselves, in a great measure, from the labor of providing food and houses for their flocks in winter, and , at the same time, to escape the malaria and all its attendant ills which so extensively pervade whole States in the vast region of the Mississippi valley during the summer and autumn months. No doubt some of the brethren, at heart, ardently desired to aid in planting the standard of the cross in the land of their future homes, where they might enjoy for themselves, and transmit to the millions who might rise up in the future States of Oregon, the uncorrupted teachings of God's book, and exemplify them in a life of obedi' to their high and holy claims. Several of these brethren having chosen their land claims in the Tualatin plains, and constructed their rude cabins, immediately set themselves about the maintenance of the worship of God, by convening themselves statedly on the Lord's day for prayer and praise. Although removed thousands of miles from the living ministry of their own faith and order, and repeatedly solicited to associate themselves with pedobaptist churches, till they might be favored with a ministry of their own, yet upon prayerful deliberation they ventured to organize themselves into a church state on the 25th of May, 1844, taking the significant name of West Union church. During the following summer they (292) OREGON. 233 continued to meet statedly for the worship of God, devoutly supplicating the great Head of the church that He would send them a faithful under shepherd who should feed them with the bread of life, and defend them from the artful assaults of error. While these disciples were thus employed in Oregon, and effectually cut off from all intercourse, for the time being, with the churches in the States, Rev. Vincent Snelling's mind was providentially directed to the subject of emigrating to this Territory. Early in the spring of this year, he, in company with a respectable number of his brethren, left Missouri, as a kind of providential reinforcement, to the few pioneers who had led the way to the borders of the Pacific. His arrival in the settlements of Oregon was hailed with joy, and he was soon invited to, and accepted the pastoral care of the infant church. In connection with his labors with this church, scattered through the Tualatin plains, a territory equal in extent to half an ordinary county, he occasionally extended his labors into Yam Hill valley, about forty miles distant to the southward, where some of his brethren were settled. This valley forms part of the Williamette valley. Rev. Ezra Fisher, and Rev. Hezekiah Johnson, having received appointments from the American Baptist Home Mission Society, as missionaries for Oregon, in the spring of 1845, after a journey of eight months of fatigue and perils so common to the early emigrants across the mountains, arrived with their families in safety in the settlements, on the 6th of December. Rev. Mr. Johnson commenced his labors in Oregon City, and Rev. Mr. Fisher in Tualatin plains. During the ensuing spring, Rev. Mr. Snelling having removed to Yam Hill valley, at the request of his brethren in that vicinity, gathered a small church which was constituted by advice of a council of delegates, convened for that purpose, and was publicly recognized on the 2d of August, 1846, by Rev. Messrs. Snelling, Johnson, and Fisher. Rev. Mr. Snelling having occasionally visited and preached to the brethren settled on the La Creole river emptying into the Williamette from the west, about 12 miles above the mouth of the Yam Hill, on the 23d of the same month aided in the constitution of a church bearing the name of the aforesaid river. On the 4th of July, 1847, a church was constituted in Oregon City, gathered by the labors of Rev. Mr. Johnson, and recognized by Rev. Messrs. Johnson and Snelling. During the same summer a church was constituted on the Molala Prairie, twelve miles south-east from Oregon City, and recognized by Rev. Mr. Snelling. This year Rev. 294 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER. Messrs. Win. Porter and Richard Miller emigrated to the Territory, who formed a valuable acquisition to the ministry. Rev. Mr. Porter devoted his labors to the service of the West Union church, as far as consistent with the dependent condition of his family. The feeble state of Rev. Mr. Miller's health confined him mostly to his immediate neighborhood. Rev. Mr. Fisher having removed to Clatsop plains, near the mouth of the Columbia river, immediately on the Pacific coast, on the 19th of March, 1848, a small church was constituted in connection with his labors. In June following, Rev. Mr. Johnson having travelled up the east side of the Williamette, constituted the Santiyam church on the South Fork of the Santiyam river. On the 25th of the same month the "Williamette Baptist Association" was organized. The delegates from several anti-missionary churches met in convention with the delegates from the missionary churches. But being unable to effect a union upon satisfactory principles, the anti-missionary delegates declined going into the constitution. And in June, 1850, the anti-missionary churches constituted an Association, taking the name of Siloam Association. In the fall of 1848, Rev. Richmond Cheedle, missionary agent of the " American Baptist Publication Society," arrived in the Williamette valley, whose labors are contributing largely, to the diffusion of religious intelligence and a correct knowledge of Baptist principles, through the publications he distributes, and to the comforting of the brethren as he visits from house to house, and preaches the word from Sabbath to Sabbath. In 1850 the Lebanon and Shiloh churches were constituted in Marion county, on the east side of the Williamette, and in a central part of the valley. Early in the spring of 1851 a small church was constituted at Albany, a county town on the Williamette, about 12 miles above the mouth of the Santiyam, under the labors of Rev. Mr. Hill from Missouri, who spent about a year in that place in the character of a preacher and teacher. Early in September of this year, Rev. Messrs. Chandler and Read arrived in the settlements by the overland route, under appointment from the Home Missionary Society, and immediately entered upon their appropriate labors of teaching in the Oregon City College, and preaching, Messrs. Fisher and Johnson entering upon other important labors which the devclopements in the settlements so eminently demand. During the spring of 1848, an interesting revival was enj in the West Union church, in which Rev. Mr. Snellins labored, OREGON. 205 aided by the labors of Rev. Mr. Porter, during which time nineteen were added to the church by baptism, and about the same number by letter. Other churches have received occasional tokens of Divine favor, but no one has been favored with a general work of grace. As yet we have no meeting houses in the Territory except a small one in Oregon City. The churches uniformly worship in log school houses, and private dwellings (usually log cabins), except during the summer months, when for convenience, the people construct a temporary stand or pulpit, in front of which seats are made from split and hewed logs, in some shady grove. Rude as are our places of worship, we probably approach near to the primitive simplicity, in which our Divine Master delivered the most instructive discourse of which we have any record. Seldom, even in the western wilds, do the disciples go from our solemn assemblies uninstructed or the impenitent unconvicted. As yet it is a source of frequent and deep regret that so scattered are our settlements, and so seldom is preaching regular, at any given place, oftener than once each month, that but few Sabbath Schools are sustained in our churches. Probably not more than five are sustained by Baptist churches in the whole Territory, the number of scholars about 100, and of teachers about 15. Our churches manifest a laudable spirit of inquiry after religious knowledge, as will appear by the report of our colporteur, in the sale of religious books, as well as by their willingness to encourage religious periodicals.

The Baptists of Pennsylvania, for more than a century, were " more abundant in labors" for the promulgation of the truth, beyond, than within the borders of their own Commonwealth. The first Association in America — the prolific mother of a multiplied and healthy progeny, which, in the language of the historian, " has given rules and even doctrines to most of the Associations in the South and West" — claims Pennsylvania as the place of her nativity. In every section of the colonies, and of the early republic, was her influence felt. New York, JSfew Jersey, and other places farther East, together with all the Southern States, when the Ohio and Mississippi rivers were the boundaries of those States, formed the field of its culture. Gano, Miller, Vaughan, Thomas, Sutton, Morgan, Stelle, Davis, Blackwell, and a host of other devoted and successful servants of God, were missionaries sent, not to the destitute interior of their own State but to bless by their prayers and labors, other sections of the common vineyard. There is now not a State, except Maryland and Delaware, to which the Baptists of Pennsylvania gave their pioneers and early coadjutors, whose numerical strength, and domestic influence, does not exceed their own. They were the principal agents in the establishment of the first denominational College, and they have not been backward in aiding the erection and support of many others, and yet until recently, have had none of their own. Though in extent Pennsylvania is less than some of the Western States, yet it is larger than most of the Eastern, and from its position between the Eastern and Western, and extending to the Southern States, it is well situated to exert an influence upon our entire country. On the East, her commerce is with the entire world. On the West, she may appropriate a large share of the trade of inland (296) ©K®^® ST. BAFTDSTT ©MGJK©^, Philadelphia.^ PENNSYLVANIA. 297 seas, and draw the treasures of half a continent into her great metropolis. Though less than some of the Western States in extent, in population she is far superior, having about one-tenth of the inhabitants of the United States within her bounds. Her population is greater than the entire number west of the Mississippi river to the Pacific Ocean, including the native tribes. Though the geographical centre of the United, States is 160 miles west of the western boundary of Missouri, the centre of population is within Pennsylvania. For the few past years, a more earnest spirit has been awakened among the Baptists of the State for the supply of the destitution, and for the dissemination of a pure Christianity within their own borders. The fifteenth anniversary of the Convention was held at Jersey Shore, October 24 — 25, 1851. Nine Associations were represented. The report of the Board shows that thirty-five missionaries had been employed during the year — twenty-one for the whole time — three for nine months — seven for six months, and four for a shorter period. These, in the aggregate, preached 4,297 sermons; traveled 23,769 miles ; visited 3,719 families ; and baptized 224 converts, besides various other labors. They occupy regularly ninety-two stations and out-stations. The amount expended during the year was $5,807.74. OFFICERS OF THE CONVENTION FOR 1851-2. Hon. James M. Linnard, Philadelphia, President.

Ic is a beautiful model — designed by S. Sloan, Esq., of Philadelphia. Including the Corinthian portico it is 82 feet long, by 44 feet wide, having a vestibule, a choir gallery, and 82 pews on the floor. The spire is 125 feet in height, and is fitted to receive a clock and bell. The cost of the edifice, with ground, furniture, and fixtures, Mill lie about $10,000. The church was constituted in May, 1852. Rev. •I. M. Richards is the pastor. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH, GERMANTOWN, PA. A RHODE ISLAND. STATE CONVENTION. The twenty-sixth anniversary of the Rhode Island State Convention was held in Newport, April 8, 1851. The following brief review we extract from the annual report : — " By ' little and little' has the Lord our God accomplished much, through the instrumentality of this organization. Twenty-six years ago, the Rev. William Gammell moved, seconded by the Rev. F. Shurtliff, that a Convention, as described in a preamble then read, ' should be organized as aforesaid.' Several objects then contemplated by the Convention, have been from time to time taken up by other organizations, and the aim of the body gradually assumed greater simplicity and directness, until its object was limited to aiding feeble churches, to sustain the preaching of the gospel, within the bounds of the State. At first the efforts of the venerated founders of the Convention seem to have been expended in sustaining traveling agents, to explore the State, collect funds, and preach to the destitute. And as late as 1829, Fall River church, now become two bands, was supplied by the agent of this Convention. The limits of our report will not permit us to enter into even a brief history of the doings of this body ; but a few data may be given, which may assist us in forming an idea of the small beginnings, and of the slow but steady progress made in raising funds, and in planting and nourishing churches throughout the State. The following sums, (omitting the fractions,) were expended in this work : In 1829, $441 ; in '32, $751 ; in '35, $644 ; in '38, $833; in '42, $1,170 ; in '44, $2,065 ; in '47, $2,820, (the largest sum expended in any one year,) and in '50, $1,930. The average sum expended in each year since the Convention was organized, is, as near as can be ascertained from the imperfect data in our possession, a little over $1,000. The increase of the Convention's means of usefulness may be more clearly seen, if we take periods of ten years. In 1829, for example, (309) 310 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER. they were $441 ; in '39, $963, and in '49, $1879. The great majority of the churches in the State have been more or less aided by the Convention. We can now recall fourteen of the most efficient churches out of the city of Providence, which have been fostered into strong and vigorous health by the timely assistance rendered to them in their early struggles. This we are aware is but an imperfect method of calculating what has been done, by the good hand of our God upon us. How many offshoots have sprung from those churches, how many members have gone to other States or countries, rejoicing in having been permitted to hear and feel for the first time the power of the gospel faithfully proclaimed by the zealous missionaries of this Convention ? Yet how small a sum is some 25 or $30,000 contributed during twenty-six years, to evangelize the destitute regions of this State ? Can this be all that the Baptists of Rhode Island have given for purely missionary purposes in their own State ? Our work is not yet done. The past year fourteen churches have received help. There are new stations also springing up every few months, which ought to be promptly occupied, and would be, were there funds for the undertaking." OFFICERS OF THE CONTENTION FOR 1851-2. Rev.

Nine Associations, besides missionary bodies and churches, were represented in the Convention. The following extract from a Report which was adopted by the body, proposes " the enlargement of the sphere of its operations." "It is apparent that there is something wanting to enlist the active co-operation of the constituent members of this Convention, and of the denomination in our State, in its objects and labors. The meagre attendance at the meetings of this body for several years, establishes this painful fact. It becomes, therefore, a ques- tion of deep concern, to enquire after the causes of this depressing indifference, and ascertain if any thing can be done to remedy the evil, and attract to the Convention the sympathies and energies of the denomination. The narrow basis upon which the Convention now practically operates, appears to your Committee the most obvious of the causes, since it has hitherto confined its attention almost exclusively to educational interests. However valuable and indispensable these may be, they take strong hold upon but a limited number of the members of our churches. Experience has demonstrated that the benevolent enterprises of broader aims, and more general application, excite the deeper sympathies, and secure the more prompt and cordial co-operation of the Christian ma It appears to your Committee of vital importance to the prosperity of our denomination in this State, that the Convention embrace such a wide range of objects, as will combine the energies and influence of its general minor Associations in one commanding central organization. Thus only will it Bubserve its original pur- poses, in cultivating brotherly love and confidence, in disseminating the Gospel, and showing to ourselves and to the world what our churches arc actually accomplishing. (314) SOUTH CAROLINA. 315 In order to secure these most desirable results, we recommend that the Convention become a more thoroughly Missionary body — that it be the organ for receiving, and transmitting to their proper destination, the funds which are now immediately disbursed by Associations and primary bodies — that it take charge of missionary operations in this State, so far as circumstances may require ; and that in the case of such Associations as now have missionary opera- tions within their bounds in successful progress, reports of their doings being made to the Convention, these reports shall be pub- lished in the Minutes of the Mission Board of the Convention — that it extend its fostering care to the Bible cause, without abating its wonted zeal, or relaxing its exertions for education. To this end, we propose that it be recommended to the State Education and Bible Societies to dissolve, in order to their being absorbed into the Convention ; and that Boards be constituted to superintend and manage respectively, Home Mission, Bible, and Education interests."

A Baptist State Convention for domestic missionary purposes was formed at the Mill Creek Church, Davidson County, in October, 1833. This continued in operation for nine years, and in October, 1842, it was dissolved to give place to the General Association of the Baptists of Tennessee, -which, at Mill Creek, in Davidson Co., was then organized. The Convention, during the nine years of its existence, had a career of great usefulness. During its existence, there were brought into being a State Bible Society, Education Society, Publication and Sunday School Society ; and the Foreign Mission Society, created more than twenty years before by the lamented Luther Rice, was re-organized : all of which are now in vigorous existence. For about seventeen years, a newspaper, de- voted to the defence of the Gospel and the circulation of religious in- telligence, has been liberally patronized by Tennessee Baptists. The Baptists of Tennessee have also subscribed about $60,000 for the en- dowment of Union University, and this institution will soon repay the churches for all they expend on it, in educating, gratuitously, the rising ministry. During the session which closed July, 1851, young ministers received regular instruction to the amount of $400, at the regular College charges, and for three years previous to the time named, the amount thus given by the University was about $1400. Soon will the churches, at this rate, receive back in edu- cation given to their ministry, every dollar which they have given to Union University. The State of Tennessee is about five hundred miles long and one hundred broad. This form of territory makes it very inconve- nient for our brethren to meet from all parts of the State. Besides, the State is by nature, and in the mind of all its people, divided (327) 328 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER. into three parts. East Tennessee embraces that part which lies between the North Carolina line and the Western slope of Cumber- land Mountains. Middle Tennessee that which lies between the Cumberland Mountains, and the Tennessee River, both of which, run across the State nearly at right angles. And West Tennessee em- braces the portion between the Tennessee and the Mississippi Rivers. East Tennessee has its General Association, which embraces Domestic and Foreign Missions, Bible operations, Education and Publication. It has a flourishing High School at Mossy Creek, not far from Knoxville. It is a large, vigorous, and prosperous body, and does more work for the amount of funds employed than any similar body in America. Middle Tennessee embraces in its organ- izations that part of Alabama which lies in the valley of the Ten- nessee River, known as North Alabama, and cut off from the southern part of that State by the mountains. It has also its General Association, with the same departments as that of East Tennessee. It has under its charge five female schools of the highest character, all of which are ably conducted, and several very large and flourishing, — one in Nashville, one in Murfrees- borough, one in McMinnville, one in Winchester, and one in Moulton, Alabama. This is a large, able, vigorous, and success- ful body. West Tennessee has its Convention for Domestic Missionary pur- poses, its Foreign Mission, Bible, Education, and Publication Societies, all of which hold their anniversaries at the same time and place. These societies are all well sustained, but the Bible, Foreign Mission, and Education Societies are much more efficient than the others. Intelligence and wealth abound here, and the brethren accomplish great good. They have two female schools of exalted character, the Howell Institute at Lexington, and the school in Jackson. They also have a Book Depository in Memphis, and a book store in Somerville. The three bodies interchange courtesies, fellowship, &c, at the annual meeting, by letters, messengers, and attentions, and heartily co-operate in all their " works of faith, and labors of love." Two collateral facts may be mentioned. Nearly all our ministers in Tennessee are young men, who have arisen within the last ten years, many of whom arc highly educated, and they are, as a body, the ablest set of young men I ever saw together, vastly superior to the ministry of any other denomination in the State. TENNESSEE. 329 The church in Nashville has sent out twenty-three of this number. This is one fact. The other is, that, within the last seven years, our denomination has advanced in that State more rapidly in num- bers, wealth, intelligence, and influence, than in any other part of our country of which I have any knowledge.

The following extracts from Reports presented to the body will, exhibit something of the nature and spirit of its operations : " The destitution within our own State is great, and the call for the Bread of Life — for more laborers, is loud and frequent. At this moment there are several important fields in which a support could be raised if we had the Ministers or reapers to thrust into the har- vest. In many portions of the State, the unconverted, as well as many who have joined other Denominations are anxious to have Baptist preaching, and are willing to contribute liberally to the support of the Gospel. Your committee are pleased to state that since your last Session, vigorous efforts have been made to supply the destitution, by this Body, in connexion with the kind aid of the Southern Baptist Convention, which Body has ever been ready to help to the utmost of their ability, the cause in Texas. " Within the last year, there has been an addition of some twenty or twenty-five to our Ministry in Texas. Our fervent prayer is, that the Lord of the vineyard would send forth more laborers, and that He would also open the heart of the Church to give food and raiment convenient to those already in the field." " Larger delegations and more liberal contributions indicate a deeper interest in the churches for the Convention than was ever witnessed before. This increased interest and prosperity is chiefly owing under God to the arduous and efficient labors of our Missionary agent, Rev. J. W. D. Creath, who was appointed to this important work at our 2d meeting, on the 15th June, 1850. His duty was to collect funds, and awaken a general interest for the Convention, to organize new Churches in destitute places, and aid them in securing and support- ing Pastors. (343) 344 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER. " He was released from his churches by the earnest solicitation of your Board, and entered on his labors on the 22d of August, 1850, since which time he has traveled 3000 miles, delivered 93 lectures and exhortations ; preached 137 sermons ; visited 240 families ; at- tended 16 prayer meetings ; ordained 4 Deacons ; ordained 1 Preacher ; organized 1 Sabbath School ; raised in cash $843 47 ; expenses $34 00." Six Missionaries including the General Agent, were employed by the Board during the year, whose aggregate labors are thus given : 396 sermons preached ; 6162 miles traveled; 265 families visited ; 23 converts baptized ; 4 churches constituted. The amount of funds received was $1,311 27. OFFICERS OF THE CONVENTION FOR 1851-2, Hon. R. E. B. Baylor, Independence, President. Rev. R. C. Burleson, Independence, Corresponding Secretary. Rev. G.

The first Baptist Church in Vermont was constituted in Shafts- bury, in 1765. After the close of the Revolutionary War, the Bap- tists rapidly increased, until about 1795, when the sale of the mili- tary lands in the State of New York attracted the attention of the inhabitants of Vermont, and drew off multitudes to those new set- tlements. Since that time, there has been a constant removing to the Western sections of the country ; and the Baptist denomination has contributed largely towards swelling the tide of emigration. Other causes too have operated, within a few years, to weaken and diminish some of the churches. Second Adventism, as preached by William Miller, and infidelity, as promulgated by 0. S. Murray, have been productive of considerable evil. Under the in- fluence of these errors, some have swerved from the truth, and oth- ers have been kept from embracing it.

WILLIAM ROLLLNSON. For several years after the first settlements were made in Wisconsin, there were no churches of our denomination. Yet in nearly all of the settlements Baptists were to be found, though not sufficiently numerous to be gathered into organized bodies. A few missionaries of the American Baptist Home Missionary Society, traversed the Territory, dividing their labors between the most prominent points. The first Baptist church in the Territory of Wisconsin, was formed at Waukesha, in the year 1837, and during the same year the church at Rochester was organized. In 1838, churches were formed at Kenosha and Sheboygan. In 1839 — 40, seven other churches were constituted. Between the years 1840 and 1845, twenty-one new churches were organized ; between 1845 and 1850, thirty-six more were formed, and in 1851 nine were constituted, making the present number of Baptist churches in the State, seventy-six, with a membership of a little more than four thousand. A comparison of the statistics of 1840 with those of 1850, will show the growth of the denomination. In the former year there were 12 churches, 12 pastors, 335 members, and no Baptist house of worship in the State. In 1850 there were reported 74 churches, 57 pastors, 3,389 members, and 25 church edifices. The ratio of Baptist members to the entire population was in 1840 as 1 to 92, and in 1850 as 1 to 90. The sixth anniversary of the State Convention was held at Racine, October 14, 1851. Its receipts for the year were $375.43. OFFICERS OF THE STATE CONVENTION, FOR 1851-2.

TnE Tables that follow have been prepared with great care, and with an amount of labor that will not be appreciated, except by those who have at- tempted some similar work. They are fuller than any similar returns of any Christian denomination, which we have ever seen. They faithfully give not simply the increase, but the decrease, from all causes, of membership in our churches. The footing of some of these columns may suggest grave considera- tions to thoughtful minds. It will be seen that the dismissions, by letter, consid- erably exceed the receptions, by letter, in the grand total — thus making it evident that a large number of members dismissed from our churches do not renew their membership in other churches. It is gratifying, however, to see that the balance is in favor of some of our Western States, showing that emigration from the east is strengthening their churches. The additions by restoration and ex- perience bear no fair proportion to the diminutions by exclusion and erasure — showing that the large proportion of those thus exscinded from membership in our churches do not return. " They went out from us because they were not of us." The erasures, it is proper to say, are not always evidences of crime or unfaithfulness, but generally result from the neglect of removing members to take with them certificates of dismission. The additions by experience show- that a considerable number of these again secure membership in the churches, but a large proportion of them are absolutely lost to the denomination. The total of exclusions is at the same time humiliating and encouraging. Humbled we may be that so many, who are unworthy, gain fellowship among us ; yet en- couraged at the evidences furnished of the general exercise of a faithful disci- pline, by which the purity and consequent efficiency of our churches is secured. The number of exclusions is a proof that the churches will not tolerate sin in their members. Generally among us discipline is scripturally strict. The total of baptisms show that our large increase is secured by conversions from the world. The gain, in associations, is computed by subtracting the total loss from the total gain, as furnished by the columns of diminutions and additions. This method does not always accord with the associational returns, inasmuch, as it does not generally take into the account the diminutions from churches dis- missed, or the additions from new churches received, the current year. For ex- ample : an association may have dismissed five or ten churches to some other association ; this would lessen the total of their membership : but the remain- ing churches may have increased their totals. The increase is given. These five or ten churches may be reported in some other body. The increase to that body, in our column of gain, is not the total of these churches, but simply the sum of their increase. In other words, the returns of the separate churches, and not strictly of associations, furnish the basis of the computation. This is the onlv method we could adopt, and is really more accurate than any other. '(380) PREFACE TO SUMMARY TABLES. 381 The comparison is not between the associational returns of different years, but between the diminutions and additions of the current year. The footing in the column of gain is the nett gain after deducting the total of loss. The only State in which there has been a nett loss is Rhode Island. Some of the associations have churches in two and sometimes three States, organized near the boundary lines. The rule has been in all cases, to enrol the association in the State in which the greatest number of the churches is located. It will be seen that in some of the States we have failed to secure the returns of all the associations for 1851. Though the number is comparatively few, yet it would make some difference in the sum total. Beside this, we find mention made in a few of the minutes, of the names of corresponding associations, min- utes of which we have never received, and of the existence of which such men- tion is the only information we have been able to gain. The Post-offices of Clerks, as well as of Ministers, is very frequently omitted in the minutes. It is sometimes almost impossible to discover what particular section of a State an association occupies. It seems to be of first importance that if an association desires any correspondence with sister associations, Post-office addresses, and especially those of the Clerks, the official correspond- ents, should be given. Where the name of the Clerk of an association is omitted, it is on account of removal or death, and the Post-office given is that of the Moderator. S82 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER.

BY PROFESSOR S. S. SHERMAN. The importance of providing for the education of the ministry was felt at an early period by some of the leading members of the Baptist denomination in Alabama, but it was not until 1833 that any decisive measures were adopted by the Baptists for establishing a Seminary of learning. At the session of the State Convention held in August of this year, a special committee, appointed to take into consideration the subject of ministerial education, reported in favor of establishing a " Seminary of Learning on the Manual Labor Plan, for the education of indigent young men called to the ministry." The preliminary steps were immediately taken for carrying into effect the suggestions of this committee. The Board of Trustees appointed, purchased a farm in the neighborhood of Greensboro'. The necessary buildings were erected, and the Institution was opened for the reception of students in January, 1836. The enterprise, however, proved unsuccessful. In little more than a year the exercises were suspended, and pecuniary embarrassments compelled the Convention to dispose of the property. From the proceeds of the sale the debts were paid, and a balance of Si, 754 remained on hand. This was held sacred to the object for which it was originally contributed, and subsequently became the basis of the present Theological Fund of Howard College. Ten years after, the Convention resolved " to establish and endow a College," and in connection with it a Theological department. A Board of Trustees was appointed, and Marion selected as the location. The friends of the new enterprise endeavored to profit by the experience of the past, and took their first steps with much caution. They resolved to contract no pecuniary liabilities beyond their available means, a resolution to which they have always strictly adhered. An act of incorporation was obtained in December.. 1841, soon after which a commodious building for a preparatory school, was purchased at a cost of ?4,500, and paid for. The funds were contributed entirely by the citizens of Marion. In this building a Classical School was opened in January, 1842. In November following, the Board of Trustees suggested to the Convention the propriety of commencing the endowment of the Theological department, believing that funds would be more cheerfully contributed for this object than for the literary branch of the proposed institution. This suggestion was received with favor, and in the course of a year $20,000 were raised, a sum sufficient for the permanent endowment of one Professorship. Rev. Jesse Hartwell, D. D., was elected the first Professor of Theology and entered upon his duties January, 1844. The Board now began to direct their attention to the ultimate object which the Convention had in view, and for which they had been constituted, viz., "to establish and endow a College." The increasing number of students, the demands of both the literary and theological classes, as well as the expectation of the public, called for a more extensive course of instruction, and the four (421) 422 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER. usual College classes were accordingly organised in 1847. The first class, consisting of seven members, graduated in July, 1848. In the mean time a new College edifice was erected at a cost, including lot, of $15,000 ; apparatus was purchased at an expense of $2,600, and over $20,000 were raised towards the permanent endowment of the College. Since its organization as a College, the institution has been steadily progressing in means, in the number of students, and in the confidence of the public. The last report of the Board of Trustees shows that the permanent funds now amount to about $60,000, the interest of which is available for current expenses. By the exercise of rigid economy in all expenditures, this and the proceeds of tuition, sustain a faculty of four Professors, a Tutor, and a Preparatory Teacher. The College edifice is of brick, four stories high, and contains a chapel, laboratory, recitation, and other public rooms, and several dormitories for students. There is no provision for a steward's hall, and the students board, and most of them lodge, in private families, an arrangement which is adopted in preference to the dormitory and commons system. The future prospects of the College are decidedly encouraging. The denomination which originated it is rapidly increasing in wealth, in numbers, and intelligence. It is gradually developing its energies, and greater harmony and unanimity prevail in all its counsels and efforts. A spirit of enlightened benevolence and liberality is becoming general, and there is every reason to hope that the Baptists of Alabama will soon place their College on an independent and liberal foundation. instructors. — Rev.

Milo P. Jewett. In 1841, an act of incorporation was obtained from the Legislature, granting full power to confer diplomas on pupils honorably completing the course of study prescribed by law. In the autumn of 1842, a tender of the Institute to the Alabama Baptist State Convention was made by its founders and proprietors, and, at the next session of the Convention, in 1843, this transfer was formally consummated. The object of this arrangement was to promote the interests of education at large throughout Alabama, and particularly to concentrate upon the Institute the affections of the Baptist denomination. The liberality of the founders in thus relinquishing their right to an exclusive control over the institution, was duly appreciated, and the arrangement has been productive of great good. The value of the property thus placed under the control of the Convention is about $30,000. The Seminary edifice presents a front of 150 feet, consisting of a main building four stories high, and two wings, each three stories — the main building extending back 100 feet. The Institute is provided with a library, cabinet of minerals, shells, &c, philosophical apparatus, maps, books of reference, &c. The classes in Chemistry and Natural Philosophy attend the lectures on these subjects in Howard College. The course of study is comprehensive and thorough, embracing all the solid and ornamental branches taught in the highest Female Seminaries in the United States. The best professors and Teachers are employed in the music department, and the Dumber of pupils on the piano, harp, guitar, &c., is about one hundred There are belonging to the Institute our harp, fourteen pianos, and a variety of other instrumi The Faculty of instruction, mprises the Princii •or of Music, three female .Musi,; Teachers, four or five Instructors in the EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS. 423 various solid and ornamental branches, a Governess, a Matron and Nurse, and the Steward and his lady. The number of pupils for the year ending August 1st, 1852, was one hundred and ninety — embracing young ladies from Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas. The total annual expenses for board, tuition, books, &c, of a student desiring a diploma, amount to two hundred dollars. The expenses, per annum, of a young lady pursuing only English branches with music on the piano, are 8240. The Judson Female Institute having been conducted with great success, and for a longer term of years under the direction of the same Principal, than any other Female Seminary in the Southern States, is regarded as a permanent institution, a Female College, in the highest acceptation of the term. Hence, it attracts students from every part of the South West, and commands the patronage of intelligent parents and guardians, without regard to religious denomination. The Judson Institute derives its name from the talented and heroic Mrs. Ann H. Judson. It was planted in prayer, and has been watered with tho tears of many pious parents, who have invoked on it the choicest blessings of heaven. These fervent supplications have not been in vain. Seven distinct seasons of revival of religion have been enjoyed in the institution, and scarcely a single year has passed without witnessing the conversion of some of the pupils. Of the sixty-eight graduates, fifty-two are hopefully pious. Most of the revivals have originated in the ordinary religious instruction imparted in the Institute, or in the labors of faithful, pious teachers. The usual religious exercises are — morning and evening devotions : public worship on the Sabbath : the Sabbath School on Sabbath morning ; the Bible Classes on Monday morning; the meetings of the Missionary Society on the first Sabbath of every month ; and the prayer meetings held by the pious young ladies every Sabbath evening. It may not be unworthy of notice as one of the prime causes of the prosperity of the Institute, that habits of system, order, industry, economy, and punctuality are most rigidly enforced in the arrangements and discipline of the School. A uniform dress, simple and neat, is prescribed ; all jewelry, even ear-rings and finger-rings, is prohibited, and every temptation to extravagance is removed. Faculty. — Rev. Milo P. Jewett, A. M..

The Tuskegee Association, at the session of 1850, resolved to erect a Female College in the town of Tuskegee. The most flattering success has attended that effort. The walls are up, and the building nearly ready for occupation. It is 115 feet long by 65 wide, and four stories high, with a recess in the rear of 70 by 16 feet. The walls are of brick and intended to be stuccoed, and will have about 40 rooms. The entire cost will not fall far short of $30,000. About 24 or 825,000 of this amount has already been raised. The School has been already opened in some rented buildings, and the Trustees are very much 424 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER. encouraged with their prospects.

Suffield raised $5000, one half of the ■whole. The late Rev. G. F. Davis, D. D., of Hartford, was one of the most efficient founders of the Institution. A few years ago another large brick building was erected on the grounds for a Female Department, the students previously being males only. The expense of the new edifice was mostly met by a grant of $7500 from the State Legis- lature. The school has been prosperous, and efficiently useful since its first establish- ment. Many young men resorting to it, have been fitted for business pursuits, for College, and for professional life. A considerable number of valuable ministers in our denomination commenced their classical education at this Institution. The Female Department has succeeded admirably. Frequent revivals of religion have been enjoyed, and during one of them, several years since, and in answer to special prayer, every impenitent student, rooming in the Institution, was hopefully converted. The school is regarded as one of the very best of its kind in the country. The instruction is varied, ample, and thorough. At no period has the prosperity of the Institution been better than at present. Both departments are crowded, and the number of applicants at every term is greater than the means for their accommodation. The trustees have, therefore, resolved on the erection of another large building, with other im- provements. At the last session of the State Legislature a further grant of §5000, for the benefit of the Institution, was obtained, and a subscription of 810,000 is now being raised among the Baptist Churches of the State, with flattering prospects of complete success. The number of students in the pre- sent classes is 120. William W. Woodbury, A. M., is the Principal ; C. E. Hamlin, A. M., Associate ; Miss Mary L. Kimball, Preceptress. Other ex- cellent Teachers, in both departments, are well qualified to give instruction in all the branches of an English, classical, and ornamental education.

One of the prominent objects of the Georgia Baptist Convention at its organ- ization in 1822, was the education of young men whose piety and gifts for the ministry, in the judgment of their churches, indicated the Divine will that they should enter upon that important and holy service. The first funds reported for the education of such young men were collected in 1825, and appropriated to aid in the support of three young brethren under the instruction of Elder W. T. Brantly, at Augusta. During several succeeding years beneficiaries were sustained under the instruction of Elder James Shannon, at Augusta ; of Elder Adiel Sherwood, at Eatonton ; and of other pastors in the country ; also in county academies and at College. In 1831, a resolution was passed by the Convention, that " as soon as the funds will justify it, this Convention will establish in some central part of the State, a Literary and Theological School, which shall unite manual labor with study, admitting others besides students in Divinity." The Executive Committee were instructed to solicit funds, and seek a suitable location for the contemplated School, and to report to the next meeting of the Convention. On the report of the Committee, at the session in 1832, that a suitable loca- tion had been examined by them, in the county of Greene, containing about 450 acres of land, and $1500 subscribed, sufficient for its purchase ; they were instructed to make the purchase, and to adopt measures to have the School in operation by the ensuing January. The purchase was made, temporary build- ings erected, and the School opened in January 1833. It was named " Mercer Institute," in honor of Elder Jesse Mercer. As an experiment of an institution of learning, combining manual labor with study, it promised favorably, opening with 39 students, all but three boarding on the premises. The second year, it numbered nearly 80 students, about 70 of thorn boarding on the premises. This Seminary, thus originated and fostered by the Convention, may be consi- dered the germ of Mercer University. In 1835, the organization of a Southern Baptist College was agitated in the Georgia Association, and reasons urged for its institution, and the town of Washington, in Wilkes County, suggested as a suitable location, and the sub- ject referred to the consideration of the Convention. At the ensuing session of the Convention in 1836, this subject was freely discussed, and received de- cided favor. The suggested location met with general approbation, and a Bi tan I of Trustees were appointed to carry it into effect. This Board had several meetings for deliberation on the subject. About $35, 000 were subscribed in the town of Washington and in the County of Wilkes, for its establishment and support. A beautiful situation, in the Buburbs of the town, was tendered by Elder Jesse Mercer to the Trustoos for its location, in addition to a liberal contribution by him to its funds. A charter was also obtained. But afl such difficulties presented themselves in the way of the Trustees, that, in lv;7, they resolved to refer the whole matter to the Executive Committee of the Convention, with the recommendation, That they surrender the present Charter, and abandon the enterprise, or set ou foot a plan that will command EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS. 427 the resources demanded for the accomplishment of this great undertaking." Upon the surrender of this Charter, the Executive Committee resolved to connect a Collegiate Department with the Mercer Institute, to be called " Mercer University," embracing literary and theological instruction. Early measures were taken to obtain the enlargement of the Charter of the Conven- tion, so as to authorise the establishment of a Collegiate Institution. This course of the Executive Committee was fully approved and conlirmed at the en&uing session of the Convention in 1838, and a Board of Trustees appointed for the management of the University in the terms of the Charter. Both the Executive Committee and Convention were encouraged, in the adoption of these measures, from a consideration of the advantages possessed by the Mercer Institute over the location at Washington and every other: 1, That this loca- tion would best harmonize the efforts of the denomination ; 2, That its early patrons had in view its ultimate advancement to a more elevated character ; 3, That the investments already made, in land and buildings, would enable them to commence collegiate operations at an earlier day, and at much less expense, than at any other location ; and, finally, that the existing School was in a prosperous condition, having about 90 pupils, and several of them pre- paring for the Freshman and Sophomoi'e classes. Agents were appointed to secure an endowment for it, a Faculty appointed, and the Institution opened in the beginning of 1839, in its new character, with 95 students, of whom 14 were in the Collegiate Department. The manual labor system remained connected with it till 1845, when it was indefinitely sus- pended. In the plan adopted for the organization of this Institution, in its incipiency, in 1832, it was resolved, that " no debt shall be contracted by the Executive Committee or Trustees on the credit of the Institution, without funds in hand to pay." This resolution was steadily adhered to, and the Board of Trustees, in their report to the Convention, in 1839, state the Uni- versity to be " entirely free from debt," -w^aile by the liberality of its friends, they had received, in subscriptions, notes and cash, about §100,000, of which about $50,000 were invested in good stocks. In 1837, a fund of about $20,000 was raised by the Central Association to endow a Theological Professorship, which was shortly after turned over to the Board of Trustees of the University. In 1844, $10,000 in Bank stock was received from the estate of the late Elder Jesse Mercer, for the Literary Depart- ment of the University, and over $20,000 for the Theological Department. Immediately after the determination of the Executive Committee to connect a Collegiate Department with the Theological Seminary, lots were laid off con- tiguous to the Institution, and sold to the amount of about $10,000, and a village formed which was named Penfield, in honor of the late Josiah Penfield, of Savannah, whose liberal bequest laid the foundation of the permanent fund for the education of pious young men preparing for the ministry. The general embarrassment of the country, a few years after the contributions for its endowment were obtained, terminated in the loss of a part of its subscriptions ; but the general devotion of its friends, and the liberal bequest of Elder Jesse Mercer, who, during his life, had been its warm-hearted patron, has secured for it a respectable endowment. The report of the Trustees to the Convention, at its session in 1851, shows the University fund for the Literary Department to be $81,200 ; Central Association Theological Professorship fund, $18,400 ; Mercer Theological fund, $21,500 ; New Theological fund, $450, — making a permanent fund of over $121,000, creating an annual income of about $10,096, beside the proceeds of tuition. There is also an Education fund of $30,850, the interest of which is appropriated to the support of beneficiaries. The aforesaid report of the Trustees further states, from the authority of the President of the University, " that the number of students during the year ending July, 1851, was 4 in the Theological Seminary exclusively, 75 in the College classes, and 61 in the Preparatory Department, — making a total of 140. Of these, 14 are licentiates, and some others have the ministry in view." The report further states a regular increase of the patronage of the University. This increase since the report has still been continued, especially in the Col- legiate Department. 428 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER. Faculty. — "Rev. J. L. Dagg, D.

We have no information of any denominational schools in the State. V 400 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER. KENTUCKY. WESTERN BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL INSTITUTE. BY RET. S. W. LYJTD, D. D. This Institute originated in the Western Baptist Convention -which held its first session in Cincinnati in 1833. At the annual meeting in 1843, the Convention organised " The Western Baptist Education Society," 'which consisted of those persons who contributed annually to its funds, and of delegates from Education Societies auxiliary to this Society, and from Associations and churches which should make annual collections for its object. The constitution of the Society required that the Board of Directors should consist of at least two members from each Western State, and one member from each State, a part' of which lies west of the Alleghanies, and from each organised territory. The Board were, soon after their election, to choose an Executive Committee, who were to transact the business appropriate to an Education Society, that is, to aid young men called to the work of the ministry, in procuring a theological education. Engrafted upon their duty as an Education Society, was the power to take measures for establishing a Theological School. In the report of the Executive Committee to the Western Baptist Convention, held at Cincinnati in 1835, they say — iCAs soon as the contemplated institution is brought into operation, it is to be an independent concern, governed and managed by its own Board of Trustees. The Education Society will have no necessary connection with this, more than with other institutions ; but will devote itself to the education of those who give evidence to the churches of which they are members, that God designs them for the ministry, at those institutions where they can most conveniently prosecute their studies." For several years the principal attention of the Executive Committee was directed to the establishment of a Theological School for the Baptists of the Mississippi Valley. They purchased in the vicinity of Covington, Kentuckv, 370 acres of land for the sum of 832,250, of which ninety acres were shortly afterwards sold for the sum of $22,500, leaving 280 acres at a cost of $10,750. The Institute has been sustained to the present time chiefly upon the sale of property at increased prices. The contributions in money have been comparatively small, not exceeding in cash and notes, 813,000, of which Ohio paid $900 ; Kentucky, through the late Ephraim Robbins, for several years General Agent, whose services contributed largely to the prosperit}' of the enterprise, the sum of 81,700 ; and the balance was procured mostly from the State of Mississippi. In the year 1840, the School was chartered by the Legislature of Kentuckv, and the property which was held in trust by individuals for its benefit, was legally conveyed to the corporation of the Western Baptist Theological Institute. The erection of buildings, general improvements, and other causes, delayed the opening of the school until the year 1845. The first President was Rev. Robert E. Pattison, D. D., who was Professor of Christian Theology. With him were associated Rev. E. G. Robinson, Professor of Biblical Criticism and Interpretation, Rev. Asa Drury, Professor of Greek Literature, and Rev. Ebenezer Podge, Teacher in Hebrew. Near the close of the year 1847, the harmony of the Board of Trustees was interrupted, and difficulties occurred which seemed to threaten the prosperity, if not the existence of the Institute, the causes of which have been fully laid before the public. It is now in a state of prosperity exceeding that of anv former period. The land that still remains, if rightly managed, it is supposed will be sufficient to endow the Institute, and procure an ample library. The present officers of the Institute are. Rev. SamuelW. Lyhd, 1». D., President, and Professor of the Departments of Systematic and Pastoral Theology ; Rev. Asa Drury, Professor of Ecclesiastical History, and Greek Literature: Rev. Periander C. Scott, Professor of Languages; Robert II. Baker, Professor of Mathematics. No person can be admitted to the benefits of the Institute unless he Isap] church of which he is a member, as a candidate for the Christian ministry, EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS. 431 and comes with suitable recommendations from at least one well known minister of the Gospel, of his piety, and of other qualifications for the work. Upon presenting such testimonials, he is to be examined by the faculty in relation to his Christian experience, call to the ministry, and proficiency in study. The regular course in Theology embraces two years. To enter upon it, an education equivalent to a regular College coui'se is required, and a fair knowledge of Hebrew grammar. Young men prepared to enter the Theological classes, and who will give satisfactory evidence of pecuniary inability, shall have furnished rooms, board, and tuition without charge. Finding that there is a strong disposition on the part of many to endeavor to pass by the regular routine of education in a College, and to enter the Institute with a view of taking a Theological course, and who cannot be induced to go to a College, the Trustees have made arrangements to extend the range of studies so as to provide for literary and scientific attainments equal to those obtained in any Western College. They have felt this to be their only remedy against a superficial ministerial education. The course taught in the Institute comprises the following studies, viz. : — English, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Mathematics, and the Natural Sciences, to such extent as they are usually pursued in Colleges, The student can enter at any point in this course which shall suit his previous preparation, and while engaged on it, he shall have a furnished room and tuition without charge.

Its situation is cen- tral, and altogether one of the most eligible in the State. It was first chartered by Massachusetts, before the separation of Maine, as a Literary and Theological Institution, in 1818. In 1820 it was chartered as a college by the Legislature of Maine, and, consequently, has been in existence as a college 32 years. Du- ring this period there have graduated from the institution some three hundred students, and about a third as many more have been partially educated there. Of the whole number educated in the college, about one quarter have devoted themselves to the Gospel Ministry. The college is respectably endowed, with libraries of 10,000 volumes or more, a good apparatus, to which has just been added a valuable equatorial telescope of the best workmanship and construction.

NEWTON THEOLOGICAL INSTITUTION, NEWTON. BY REV". H. J. RIPLEY, D. D. The Newton Theological Institution is situated on a beautiful eminence in the town of Newton, Mass., about six miles west of Boston. It was founded in the year 1825, when instruction was commenced by the Rev. Irah Chase, D. D. It is strictly a professional Seminary, without an academical or a collegiate department, and is designed for instructing in theological studies graduates from colleges, and others, whose literary attainments may enable them to pro- ceed profitably with graduates. It is open for the admission of those persons only who give evidence of their possessing genuine piety, with suitable gifts and attainments, and of their being influenced by proper motives in wishing to pursue theological studies, and who, moreover, present certificates from the churches of which they are members, approving of their pursuing studies prepar- atory to the work of the Christian ministry. It has four departments of instruction, namely, Biblical Literature and Inter- pretation, Christian Theology, Ecclesiastical History, Sacred Rhetoric and Pas- toral Duties. The department of Biblical Literature and Interpretation embraces instruc- tion in the original languages of the Bible, biblical geography and antiquities, the principles of interpretation, and the interpretation of the Scriptures in their original languages as extensively as circumstances will permit, together with a view of the canonical authority of the Scriptures, and such information as may constitute an appropriate introduction to the study of the Sacred volume. In this department instruction is given also in Chaldee and Syriac to students who desire it. In the department of Christian Theology a course of instruction is given on the evidences of Christianity, and on Christian doctrines, founded on the Bible, systematically arranged, and sustained by a full examination of all the impor- tant arguments and objections. To the department of Ecclesiastical History is referred instruction on the his- tory of Christianity, from the birth of the Saviour till the present period, includ- ing a view of the spread of Christianity, the rise and influence of important errors, and the origin and present condition of the different denominations of professed Christians. In the department of Sacred Rhetoric and Pastoral Duties, instruction is given on the principles of rhetoric, as applicable especially to the preparation and delivery of sermons; on the nature, objects, duties, difficulties and supports of the pastoral office ; and on the government and discipline of the church. 55 484 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER. The institution is under the care of a Board of Trustees, elected according to the charter granted by the Legislature of Massachusetts. The Trustees have also provided that in filling half the vacancies which may occur in their num- ber, the Baptist State Conventions in New England shall be requested to nomi- nate suitable men within their limits respectively, who when elected by the Board, as recpaired by the charter, may participate in all the duties and respon- sibilities of Trustees. A Board of Visitors, who are also an Examining Com- mittee, has likewise been created by the Trustees, consisting of three persons chosen from their body and six others chosen by the Boards of the respective Baptist State Education Societies in New England. The regular course of instruction occupies three years. The anniversary oc- curs on the last Wednesday in June. More than three hundred persons have enjoyed the advantages of this Insti- tution, and its beneficent influence is felt, through their agency, in every part of our own land and in heathen countries. The present instructors are, Rev. Henry J. Ripley, D. D., Professor of Sacred Rhetoric and Pastoral duties ; Rev. Hcratio B. Hackett, D. D., Professor of Biblical Literature and Interpretation ; Rev. Robert E. Pattison, D. D., Pro- fessor of Christian Theology ; Rev. Alvah Hovey, A. M., Assistant Instructor in Hebrew. Temporary provision has also been made for instruction in Ecclesiastical History. CHARLESTOWN FEMALE SEMINARY, CHARLESTOWN. (See Frontispiece.) This Institution is situated just out of Boston within half a mile of the line of that city. It was incorporated in March, 1833, having been instituted two years before. Its design is to furnish facilities for a complete Female Education, Physi- cal, Intellectual and Moral, and its patronage always having been liberal, the means have been furnished to carry out that design to the fullest extent of the wishes of its friends — and this without a single dollar of donation, either for its ample and commodious buildings ; or for the support of its large and compe- tent Board of Teachers. The buildings, apparatus and furniture are owned by stockholders, who have always received dividends of six per cent, per annum, and this, and all its other expenses have been paid by the tuition of pupils, be- side furnishing gratuitously the tuition, constantly, of from eight to twelve worthy or promising daughters of Missionaries, poor ministers, and others, who were unable to pay ; and yet the tuition is believed to be lower than that of any similar institution in any city of the Union. Its trustees and superintendents are Baptists, but teachers of different Reli- gious Denominations are employed, and it has always received the patronage of other denominations ; sectarian influence being scrupulously avoided. It has now in attendance over two hundred pupils — all it can conveniently accommodate — and since its organization has had, for more or less of their Ed- ucation, about 4500 different pupils from almost every State in the Union, and from the British Provinces, the West Indian Islands, and other foreign countries. The incidental religious influence of the teachers, and especially of the Gov- erness, has been also greatly blessed. Not a single year having passed without the hopeful conversion of some of its pupils. Accurate statistics on this subject cannot, of course, be given, but it is believed that not less than from twenty to twenty-five young ladies, on an average, each year, since its organization, have been born again there. There are now, therefore, not much less, probably, than five hundred ladies, scattered over the world, who date their Christian experience to influences in this seminary. Many an; wives of missionaries, in our own and foreign lands — many are wives of ministers of different denominations — many others are teachers, and others are occupying different stations of influence and usefulness.

TOWNSEND FEMALE SEMINARY, WEST TOWNSEND. SHELBURNE FALLS ACADEMY, SHELBURNE FALLS. MICHIGAN. KALAMAZOO THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY. The Kalamazoo Theological Semixary was originated by the Baptist Con- vention of Michigan. Funds for educational purposes were among the earliest contributions solicited, and appropriations were made to assist young men in preparing for the ministry. The subject of establishing a Theological Seminary was agitated, discussed, and prayed over, for several years. In 1845, it was decided to establish such a School. In 1846, the location was fixed at Kalamazoo, forty-six acres of land purchased for a site, and sub- scriptions opened to further the object. In 1847, collections were made, further subscriptions obtained, and preparations made for building. In 1848, the walls of a brick edifice, 104 by 46 feet, and four stories high, were reared, and the building partly covered. In 1849, the building was fully inclosed, the tower finished, and theological instruction was commenced, in a building in the village. In 1850, a portion of the building was finished, a Library ob- tained, and instruction commenced in the Seminary building, with one appointed Professor, and one who rendered gratuitous assistance. In 1851, the first Anniversary Exercises were held, when two young men graduated, one of whom was a graduate of our State University, an additional Theological Professor was appointed, more recitation rooms were finished, and the classical and literary department was opened, by the Kalamazoo Literary Institute, with three Teachers. The amount received for the education cause up to this time has been about §12,930 ; the expenditures about the same — or, indeed, rather more. The funds have been appropriated for purchasing the grounds, which are very eligible, erecting the building, purchasing the library, supporting teachers and agents, and assisting indigent students. There is also a subscription of over S10,000, to be paid in ten annual instalments, and several lots of [land have been donated, from which we hope to realize some- thing hereafter. Of these funds, something over §1,000 was raised in the Eastern States for 436 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER. a Library. A benevolent lady in Connecticut has paid several hundred dollars towards a foundation of one thousand dollars for a scholarship, and the pay- ment of the rest is secured. A friend in Illinois has also subscribed two hundred and fifty dollars towards a fund for the encouragement of rhetorical excellence. Nearly all the remaining contributions have been in our own State. Scarcely a church can be found which has not contributed something. llev. J. A. B. Stone, A. M., Professor of Biblical Exegesis and Biblical Theology. MISSISSIPPI. MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE, CLINTON. '1hi3 Institution, formerly belonging to the Presbyterians, (New School,) was formally tendered to the Mississippi Baptist Convention, 1850, and is now the property of that body. There are ten acres of land, upon which are erected three edifices for College purposes. The Convention has resolved to raise one hundred thousand dollars for its endowment. Agents are at work to accomplish this end. The Preparatory Department has been in operation the past year. Number of students, 84. Teachers. — Isaac N. Urner, A. M., Principal ; Rev. C E.

NEW HAMPTON LITERARY AND THEOLOGICAL INSTITUTION, NEW HAMPTON. The Institution was founded in 1825. It received an extended patronage the first three years — but the exact numbers are not known. In 1829 there were two hundred and thirty-three different students. In 1830, two hundred and seventy ; in L831, two hundred and twenty-six; in 1832, three hundred and fourteen. Eleven fitted for the ministry under Rev. B. F. Farnsworth, D. D. Since 1833, the commencement of the instruction of the present principal, the whole number who have enjoyed its advantages is six thousand and twenty- nine. The average yearly attendance has been three hundred and sixteen — one hundred and seventy-two males and one hundred and forty-four females ; the whole number of theological students, one hundred and fifty-eight ; the average yearly attendance, twenty-eight. Of these, sixty-one have come from New Hampshire: fifty from Massachusetts; seventeen from Vermont; sixteen from Maine; seven from New York ; four from Connecticut ; four from Canada East and one froru New Jersey. Eighty-one are now preaching the gospel ; seventy-nine during the whole period have fitted for other institutions who had the ministry in view. The number of students hopefully converted at the In- stitution has been about seven hundred. The number of students for the pres- ent year, is as follows : Female, one hundred and forty-one ; English, one hun- dred and twenty ; Classical, fifty ; Theological, eighteen. Total, three hundred and twenty-nine. The Female Department and also the English and Classical Departments, are supported at present by their own resources ; the tuition is to pay the expenses by an arrangement with the instructors. The theological professors are dependent for their support on other funds, raised especially for that object. The design entered upon and prosecuted with some success, is to collect a permanent fund of twenty thousand dollars, the in- terest of which would be sufficient for their support. For the present, to sus- tain these professors, a subscription of five hundred dollars annually for five years has been nearly filled to sustain one. There then will lie the income of that part of the permanent arid already invented towards sustaining the other ; the balance of which it will be necessary to secure from other sources.

The germ of Madison University is to be found in the Incorporation of " The Baptist Education Society of the State of New York." On the 24th September, 1817, thirteen brethren met at the house of Deacon Jonathan Olmsted, in Hamilton, Madison County, N. Y., and formed themselves into a Society under the name above-mentioned. Their chief treasures were in their faith and prayers. Each member was required to pay one dollar, as a condition of membership ; at the close of the meeting, therefore, the amount of funds in their treasury was thirteen dollars. The object of this organization, as it is distinctly stated in the preamble of its charter granted by the Legislature, 5th March, 1819, is, "to educate pious young men to the Gospel ministry." In the Autumn of 1819, the Education Board made'the village of Hamilton, the permanent seat of the " Seminary," by virtue of a contract, of which the condition was, that the friends of this location were to pay to the Society the sum of $6,000. This sum was actually paid, and the' receipt thereof duly acknowledged. The work of educating students to the Gospel ministry, commenced as early as the 14th of February, 1818. Jonathan Wade, now a very worthy and cele- brated missionary in Asia, was the pupil first received. In this introductory school, Rev. Daniel Hascall gave instruction in the English, the Latin, and the Greek Languages, and Rev. Nathaniel Kendrick in Theology. But in the Spring of 1820, the " Seminary" was formally opened and in- structed under Professor Hascall as Principal. This Institution of learning has preserved its identity, though it has borne different names, to wit, " School," " Seminary," " Hamilton Literary and Theological Institution," and, finally, " Madison University," — all of which, have been applied to it on the occasion 440 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER. of certain modifications which have taken place in the progress of its im- provement. In the year 1829, the course of studies was extended to four years, in 1831 to six, and in 1833, an eight years' course of studies was projected. In 1835, the first senior collegiate class completed its course of studies. In 1837-8, for the first time, the three departments, viz. : Theological, Collegiate, and Acade- mic, were fully developed, the complement of classes organized, the English and Scientific departments harmonized with the Classical, two distinct Theological courses established, the one adapted to the qualifications of students from the English and Scientific course, and the other, to those who had completed the full six years' course of regular Classical studies. In March, 1846, the Education Society petitioned the State Legislature for a University charter, and obtained it. By virtue of this instrument, the Uni- versity is empowered to confer literary honors, degrees, and diplomas, its literary and scientific department is subject to the visitation of the Regents of the University of the State of New York, and it is entitled to a share of State patronage.

This Institution was founded in 1850, and has already taken rank with the oldest and best endowed Colleges in the country. An endowment of $150,000 has been subscribed, chiefly in the State of New York. The plan of instruction is so adjusted as to allow any who choose, to omit the study of Latin and Greek, either throughout the whole course, or after the Sophomore year ; substituting in their stead Modern Languages and a more extended Mathematical and Scientific course. The regular course for all stu- dents extends through four years, at the* end of which time, those who sustain a good examination are -admitted to a degree ; those who have pursued the entire classical course, to the degree of Bachelor of Arts ; and those who have pursued the entire scientific course to that of Bachelor of Sciences. Large and valuable additions have lately been made to the Library of the University, including 4,500 volumes from the Library of Dr. Neander of Berlin. The Rochester Theological Seminary under the control of the " New York Baptist Union for Ministerial Education," is connected with the University. An endowment of $73,500 has been subscribed, with the intention of raising $100,000. A Grammar School has been organised by the Trustees, with special refer- ence to the preparation of students for the University. The annual Commencement of the University is on the second "Wednesday of July. There are three vacations in each year as follows: — one of one week including the winter holidays, one of three weeks from the first Wednesday in April, and one of eight weeks immediately after commencement. In the year 1851-2, there were 29 Theological Students, 116 Collegiate, and 72 in the Grammar School. Tin' members of the Faculty are as follows > — Collegiate. — lion, [ra Harris, LL.

The Fairmount Theological Seminary was established by, and is to be under the control of, the "Western Baptist Education Society. This Society was or- ganized at Cincinnati, Nov. 10, 1834, on the recommendation of the Western Baptist Convention, then in session in the city. Its object, as declared in the constitution, was " the education of those who give evidence to the churches of which they are members, that God designs them for the ministry." Its aim was to embrace within the sphere of its operations, the whole Mississippi Val- ley and its first effort towards the accomplishment of its object, resulted in the establishment of what is now the " Western Baptist Theological Institute," located in Covington, Ky. The assumption of the exclusive contral of the In- stitute, by Kentucky, in 1849, and the insuperable difficulties that seemed to forbid the hope of co-operation between the North-west and South-west in an enterprise of this character, together with the large extent of country, and the numerous body of churches that would otherwise be unprovided for, determined the Society at its annual meeting, June, 1848, to enter upon measures prelimi- nary to the establishment of a new Seminary for the North-western States. Early in the ensuing year, a committee appointed for this purpose secured, from the Fairmount Land Company, an offer of 30 acres of ground, estimated to be worth §35,000, as the site, and for the use of the proposed seminary. A large Convention of delegates and individuals, chiefly from Ohio and Indiana, held in Cincinnati, Oct., 1849, recommended the establishment of the seminary on the offered site at Fairmount, and the raising by voluntary subscriptions and donations, in addition to the 30 acres of land granted by the said company, of the sum of §50,000, as an endowment and for the purpose of erecting suitable buildings. The enterprise had been previously recommended by the State Con- ventions of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, and by several district associations. The Society is now engaged in carrying the recommendations of the Convention into effect. Towards the proposed endowment and building fund, the sum of over $20,000 has already been secured in pledges, and partly paid, and the work is going forward. The Seminary edifice is erected, and nearly completed, at an estimated cost of nearly $20,000. It is in the Gothic style, four stories high, above the base- ment, 112 feet 8 inches in length, and in its greatest breadth 54 feet 8 inches. The basement contains sixteen good, well-lighted rooms, with a wide hall ex- tending through the whole length of the building, affording ample accommoda- tions for a janitor, dining-hall, store rooms, baths, &c. The edifice also con- tains a chapel 44 by 41 feet, 25 feet high, lecture rooms, a library room 40 by 25 feet, and study rooms, and dormitories for the accommodation of 40 students. The height of the stories is, basement 11 feet, the first and second stories above the basement 12 feet each, the third and fourth stories 11 feet each. The roof is to be surmounted with an observatory, commanding a wide and beautiful prospect. The site is the principal elevation of Fairmount, 130 rods west of the north- west corner of the corporate limits of Cincinnati, and about two and a half miles north-west of the city Court House. It is about 400 feet above the low water mark of the Ohio river, and about 300 feet above the principal level of Cincinnati. It enjoys a pure and healthful atmosphere, and is a spot of great natural beauty, commanding a full view of the Mill creek valley, from the Ohio river some seven or eight miles northward ; of the entire city of Cincinnati as it spreads towards the south-east ; of the cities of Covington and Newport on the south bank of the river, and of the elevated lands environing the city for many miles around. • It is hoped to open the Seminary for students in the autumn of 1852. 444 AMEKICAN BAPTIST KEGISTEK.

This Institution is located at Lewisburg, Union County, Pennsylvania. It is on the West branch of the Susquehanna, eight miles North of the junction with the North branch at Northumberland. The location is in the midst of a re- gion of country unsurpassed, for beauty and fertility, by any in the State. It is easy of access from Philadelphia, Baltimore, or Pittsburg, by means of the rail roads from these places, which convey passengers to the junction of the Juniata and Susquehanna canals, seventeen miles West of Ilarrisburg, whence they proceed by packet to Lewisburg. The passage from Philadelphia or Baltimore, is made in about eighteen hours, and by the opening of the pro- posed continued rail road to Erie, will be reduced to eight or ten hours. The University was chartered by the Legislature of Pennsylvania in February, 1846. The provisions of the Charter are such that the Depart- ments of Theology, Medicine and Law may all be established, when cir- cumstances may demand. At present, only the Scientific and Literary courses are established. The Charter was to become effective when a valid subscription of $100,000 should have been raised. The raising of the subscription was commenced by the first General Agent, S. W. Taylor, A. M., and was vigorously prosecuted by the Rev. E. Kincaid and the Rev. W. Shadrach. It was completed in the month of January, 1849, when a Board of Trustees was elected, and the Institution commenced its legal existence. The Board of Trustees have since been carrying the enterprise forward with commendable energy and zeal. In the month of October, 1846, the Provisional Committee, who had the control of all the incipient movements, resolved to open a Sigh SVhdol at Lewisburg, preparatory to the University. They appointed S. W. Taylor, A.M., who had hitherto been their General Agent, Principal of the School. He was assisted during the first year by his son, Alfred Taylor, A.B. The increasing number of students made it necessary in the following year to call in further aid, and the services of I. N. Loomis, A. B., were secured. In 1848, S. W. Taylor, A. M., was elected Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy, which post he retained until August, L851, when he resigned to enter another sphere of labor. In the year 1849, the Rev. George R. Bliss, A. M., was chosen Professor of the Greek Language and Literature, and George W. Anderson, A. M., Professor of the Latin Language and Litera- ture. Under the direction of Professors Taylor, Bliss, ami Anderson, the University continued to increase in numbers. In the month of August, 1851, the 1st class, of seven, was graduated with credit to themselves and with honor to their alma mater. At the meeting of the Board of Trustees in August* L851, the following Officers were elected: — Rev. Howard Malenm, I'. I'.. President: Charles Sexton James, A.M., Professor of Mathematics ami Natural Philosophy, in place of Professor Taylor, resigned ; and Altyed Taylor, A. ML, Pri of Belles Lettres. The corps of officers was thus tilled nut. The Trusters have thus collected an able and efficient Faculty, ami made ample provi- EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS. 445 sion for the succesful prosecution of a thorough literary and scientific course of studies. . In providing buildings for the Institution, after Lewisburg had been deter- mined on as a location, the first care was to obtain a lot at once ample in size and happy in adaptedness. The Trustees were fortunate in obtaining forty acres of land, embracing the highest ground near the village, commanding a very extensive prospect and securing the purest air. A natural grove fur- nished, without delay, a delightful shade. Here buildings have been erected, designed by T. U. Walters, Esq., the distinguished Architect of Girard College, and embracing admirable facilities in all respects. All the rooms are warmed by hot air furnaces. Students study two in a room, but each has a sepai'ate bedroom on the opposite side of the passage. No commons are provided, but the students take their meals at boarding-houses in town, approved by the faculty. By this plan much disorder is prevented, better manners are pre- served, and many causes of complaint obviated. Hitherto the deportment of the studeffts has been very exemplary. The usual College course is pursued and thoroughly insisted on, but the studies are so adjusted as that by a three years' course a student may obtain all the benefits of "the Institution, except either the Latin or Greek language. In the former course he obtains the usual degree of A. B., and in the latter the diploma of Bachelor of Philosophy. Moreover persons who, by age or other circumstances, are debarred from either of these courses, are allowed to pursue any branches of study taught in the regular classes, and thus to employ profit- ably even a single year at the Institution. In regard to philosophical instruments, few of our older Colleges are as well provided. They were purchased under the direction of Professor Taylor, and supply every requisite facility in the elucidations required. While this Institution claims attention as a College of high grade and diversified studies, the Preparatory Department offers great attractions as an Academy and Boarding School for Boys. It has a separate edifice, of ample dimensions, eighty feet by sixty, and three stories high, and able Teachers, devoted to it exclusively, under the general supervision of the President.

It was originally established in the town of Warren, where the first commencement was celebrated in 1769. It was subsequently removed to Providence, where the first College edifice (University Hall) was erected in 1770. In consequence of a liberal donation from Hon. Nicholas Brown, in the year 1804, the corporation determined that the College be called in all future time, " Brown University." There are now four College buildings besides the President's house. The Library contains more than 24,000 well selected volumes. A large proportion of these have been purchased within the last few years, with special reference to the wants of gentlemen engaged in literary and scientific pursuits. It is constantly increasing from the proceeds of a permanent fund of 325,000, established for this purpose in 1839. The Library is open four hours daily, from 9 a. m., till 1 p. m. In March, 1850, the corporation resolved to obtain the sum of $125,000 for the University, proposing material changes in the system of instruction, and an extension of the range of studies. At the annual meeting of the corporation in September following, the committee appointed to raise this sum, reported that their efforts had been crowned with success, and the whole sum subscribed. By the aid thus rendered, four Professors have already been added to the previous number of instructors ; the support of all the officers has been placed on a permanent basis ; improvements have been made in the Lecture rooms ; a department of Civil Engineering has been established, and furnished with the necessary instruments and apparatus ; and a Laboratory, believed to be second to none in the country, prepared for analytical chemistry, or chemistry applied to the arts. ♦ The regular degrees conferred in this University are, Bachelor of Philosophy, Bachelor of Arts, and Master of Arts. The degree of A. M. is intended for those students who desire to pursue a full course of liberal education. The degree of A. B. is designed especially for those who desire to prepare themselves for the different professions, and yet, from unavoidable circumstances, are unable to pursue a complete course of liberal education. The degree of B. P. is designed for those students who are intended for the pursuits of active life. The annual Commencement is on the first Wednesday of September. There are two terms in the year, each continuing twenty weeks. The number of students in 1851-2 was 225. The whole number of persons graduated at this I Diversity is 1784, of whom 177 have been ordained as Ministers uf the Gospel. The members of the Faculty, and other officers, areas follows : Rev. Francis Wayland, I). P., LL. D., President, and Professor of. Moral and Intellectual Philosophy ; Rev. Alexis Caswell, |). D., Professor of Mathematics and Physical Astronomy ; George J. Ch A.

From the minutes of the State Convention we learn that this institution has been removed from its former location to Greenville Court House. Agents were appointed in June, 1849, to collect the sum of 870,000 for its establishment and endowment in the new location. In June, 1850, the agents reported that §30,000 had been secured, and that it was their firm conviction that the whole amount could be raised. The agencies were continued for that purpose. We have not been able to obtain the minutes of the State Convention for 1851, nor any reports, catalogues, or statements in relation to the present condition of the institution. From incidental notices we learn that the following gentlemen are Professors in the institution : — Rev. James C. Furman, A. M. ; Rev. James S. Mimms, A. M. ; Rev. P. C. Edwards, A. M.

BAYLOR UNIVERSITY, INDEPENDENCE, BY REV. R. C. BURLESON. This institution is under the control of the Texas Baptist State Convention — its affairs being directed by a Board of Trustees elected by that body. It was originated chiefly through the instrumentality of the lamented William Tryon, one of the earliest missionaries to Texas. It bears the name of the Son. and Rev. R. E. B. Baylor, formerly a Congressman from Alabama, and for many years an eloquent Baptist preacher, a distinguished Judge, and a very liberal supporter of the Institution. Independence, the location of the University, is a quiet and healthy village in a wealthy and central portion of Texas, immediately on the great from Houston to the city of Austin. The surrounding Boenery is pleasantly di- versified with hills, valleys, and beautiful groves el' "live EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS. 449 The Institution is yet in its infancy, and has all the difficulties of a new State and unsettled society to contend against ; yet it is free from debt, and has two good buildings, a fine apparatus, and a small commencement for a library. About $10,000 has been raised towards the endowment of the Presidency, and the whole property of the Institution is worth about $30,000. The financial affairs have been, and are still, conducted by the Rev. James Huckins, with great ability and untiring energy. The number of students last session was 117. As yet the male and female departments are under the supervision of the President and Board of Trustees. But as soon as the country becomes more developed, an entirely distinct organization is contemplated. Rev. Rufus C. Burleson, A. M., President and Professor of Ancient Lan- guages ; Rev. S. G.

These Churches are distinguished from the regular Baptist Churches — mainly by their formal opposition to all voluntary be- nevolent Associations. They are generally, in doctrine, ultra Calvinistic, are opposed to the Academical or Theological educa- tion of their Ministry, and have renounced the fellowship of the great body of the denomination, who theoretically favor Missionary. Bible, Publication, Education, and other voluntary Societies for the dissemination of truth, and the social and spiritual welfare of man- kind. These Churches are gradually diminishing in influence and numbers. The following Statistics are as full and accurate as we could make from the materials we have been able to gather.

The Seventh-day Baptists are distinguished from the Regular Baptists mainly by the views which they hold on the subject of the Sabbath. In respect to this they believe — 1st. That the Seventh Day of the Week was sanctified and blessed for the Sabbath in Paradise, and was designed for all mankind ; 2d. That it forms a necessary part of the Ten Commandments, which are immutable in their nature, and universally binding ; 3d. That no change as to the day of the Sabbath was made by Divine Authority, at the introduction of Christianity ; 4th. That those passages in the New Testament which speak of the First Day of the Week, do not imply, either the substitution of that day for the Seventh as the Sabbath, or its appointment as a day of religious worship ; 5th. That whatever respect the early Christians paid to the First Day of the Week, on the supposition of its being the day of Christ's resurrection, yet they never regarded it as the Sabbath, but continued to observe the Seventh Day in that character until, by the edicts of Emperors and the decrees of Councils, the First Day was made gradually to supersede it; 6th. That, finally, the Seventh Day of the Week, and not the First, ought now to be observed as the Sabbath of the Lord our God. Notices of people holding these sentiments are frequent in the history of the first six centuries of the Christian Church ; and even during that dark period which intervened between the establishment of Papal dominion and the dawn- ing of the Reformation, occasional traces of them appear. In the seventh century, while Pope Gregory I. was in authority, the subject of the Sabbath was much discussed ; and among the disputants there was a class of persons who declared, " that it was not lawful to do any manner of work on the Saturday, or the old Sabbath." In the eleventh century, while Gregory VII. occupied the papal chair, the same doctrine was preached. In the twelfth century, also, there was a large and influential community of Christians in Lombardy who kept the Seventh Day as the Sabbath. The Reformation seems to have introduced a new era in the history of Sabbath-keepers. In Germany, in the early part of the sixteenth century, Baptists who kept the Seventh Day were quite common. In England, they made their appearance in the beginning of the seventeeth century ; although in consequence of the unsettled state of the country, they did not begin to organize churches until about 1650. Within fifty years of that period, however, there were eleven Sabbatarian Churches in England, besides many scattered Sabbath- keepers, in different parts of the kingdom. Eight of the eleven have now be- come extinct. Of the three which remain, two are in London, and one is at Natton, near Tewkesbury. The Sabbatarians of England enjoyed the minis- trations of some of the most distinguished Dissenters of their time — among whom mention should be made of Francis Bampfield, the founder of the Crip- plegate Church in London ; Edward Stennett, the ancestor of the famous Stennett family ; Joseph Stennett, the author of that unanswerable reply to Russen's " Fundamentals without a Foundation, or a true Picture of the Ana- baptists ;" Joseph Stennett, D. D., and Samuel Stennett, D. D., of the Little Wild Street Baptist Church, London. In America, Seventh-day Baptists made their appearance in the latter part of the seventeenth century. The first church was organized at Newport, R. I., in 1671, "while as yet there were but six societies of Regular Baptists on the 62 489 490 AMERICAN BAPTIST REGISTER. Western Continent." For several years this church included in its membership nearly all observers of the Seventh-day Sabbath residing in the States of Rhode Island and Connecticut ; and for the accommodation of the widely-scattered members, the pastors were accustomed to hold stated meetings at several distant places. A church was organized at Hopkinton, R. I., in 1708, and one at Waterford, Ct., in 1784. There are now eight churches in Rhode Island and two in Connecticut. In New Jersey, the first Seventh-day Baptist Church was organized at Pis- cataway, about thirty miles from New York City, in 1705. From this church sprang one at Shiloh, N. J., about forty miles south-west of Philadelphia, which was organized in 1737. At present there are four Seventh-day Baptist Churches in New Jersey, located at Piscataway in Middlesex Co., Plainfield in Essex Co., Shiloh in Cumberland Co., and Marlboro in Salem Co. Other churches there are, many of them of recent origin, scattered over the South and West. There are four in Pennsylvania, four in Virginia, five in Ohio, five in Wisconsin, one in Illinois, one in Indiana, and one in Iowa. Besides these, there are numerous small societies of Sabbath-keepers, who are accus- tomed to meet weekly for prayer and conference, but who have not yet been organized into regular churches. A Yearly Meeting of the Seventh day Baptists in America, was established at a very early period, and from it originated the Seventh-day Baptist General Conference — a body which held its meetings annually from 1805 to 1846, when it was agreed that the meetings should henceforth be held triennially. The Seventh-day, Baptist Denomination was divided into Associations in 1835. There are now six Associations, each holding an annual meeting. The Seventh-day Baptist Missionary Society was organized in 1842 ; its object being to disseminate the Gospel at home and abroad. In carrying out this object, it has employed men from time to time to labor with the feeble churches in this country, and to preach to the destitute wherever an opportu- nity should offer. It has also sent two missionaries with their wives to preach Christ among the heathen. They are stationed at Shanghae, China, where they have built a chapel and a dwelling-house, and organized a church. The receipts of the Society for the year ending Sept. 12, 1851, were $5,396 17. The American Sabbath Tract Society was organized in 1843. Its object is " to promote the scriptural observance of the Sabbath, in connection with the interests of vital godliness and sound morality, by the circulation of religious tracts, and the employment of colporteurs and lecturers." It has now a series of fifteen stereotyped tracts, of which editions are published according t<> the means and demands of the Society. Besides these, it has several publications not connected with the series, but all relating to the subject of the Sabbath. Its Depository is kept at No. 9 Spruce-st., New York. The Seventh-day Baptist Publishing Society was organized in 1849, for the purpose of giving permanence to the periodical publications of the denomi- nation. It now issues a weekly paper called The Sabbath Recorder, a monthly called The Sabbath- School Visitor, and a quarterly magazine of history, bio- graphy, and statistics, called The Seventh-day Baptist Memorial. The office of the Society is at No. 9 Spruce-st., New York. The Seventh-day Baptists have two Literary Institutions, designed to fur- nish the means of securing a thorough education. One of them, called the DeRuyter Institute, is located at DeRuyter, Madison Co., N. Y., ami was founded in 1837, at an expense of between twenty and thirty thousand dollars. The other is located at Alfred, Alleghany Co., N. Y., and called the Alfred Academy and Teachers' Seminary. They have also several smaller academies, one of which is located at Shiloh, Cumberland Co., N. J., and another at Milton, Rock Co., Wisconsin.
