CO. , PRINTERS A STEREOTYrEJRS, No. 12 Ann Street, New York k "■■ > PREFACE. In the following pages an effort has been made to realize the idea of the editor and projector, viz. : to present in a single volume a record of the Church of Chris- tendom in all its details. In the prosecution of his task, however, the writer, though prepared at the outset for some disappointment, has had an addition to his experience in the fact that it is more easy to undertake an enterprise than to accomplish it. Applications for information and facts, in many quarters, were not met so generously as he anticipated ; in others, perhaps from not wholly under- standing the scope and aim of his work, they were treated with silence and in- difference; while in not a few, they were regarded as impertinent. But he has great satisfaction in adding that by far the greater number of his applications were cheerfully and promptly responded to ; if not in all cases as fully as he could wish, at least with a generous cheerfulness that he shall never forget. The result of his labors is before the reader. It does not meet his original expectations; but he takes courage in the hope that when churches and societies perceive the design and character of his publication, they will feel a common in- terest in its welfare, and generously contribute such facts and information as will make it complete and authentic, and interesting to the Church generally, for the sake of the common good. Our aim is to make a work giving all the current facts of Christendom, from year to year, for general reference. These ought to comprise everything of in- terest to Christians generally — for example, the statistics, institutions, clergy, literature, yearly history, and names and post-office address of workers in every department of every denomination throughout the Christian world. It will be manifest that the frequent changes in the ministry render it difficult to ascer- tain, in many instances, their post-office address. A letter addressed to their late post-office will generally reach them. In this, our first effort and first volume, we have come far short. Still we have accomplished something, and gained in the effort an experience that gives us hope of a nearer approximation in our next. Desiring to make the Record a complete work of reference on all subjects of interest to the Church, we earnestly invite all who feel an interest in the estab- 4 PREFACE. lishment and permanency of an authentic record of the Church, in all its depart* ments, to send to the editor, care of the publishers, whatever information may contribute to that end. Minutes of all religious bodies, large and small ; changes in the ministry; ordinations and installations; deaths of clergymen; cbanges of post-office address ; lists of collegiate and theological professors and students ; reports of religious and benevolent societies ; reports and proceedings of individual churches, will be especially welcome, and their receipt and source, when so de- sired, carefully acknowledged ; while we shall be grateful for any and every sug- gestion or item of information that may be made useful in the prosecution of our enterprise. Who will generously respond? In the preparation of the present volume, we are under obligations to the secretaries of very many religious and benevolent societies, whose politeness and attention we appreciate but cannot sufficiently express ; to the general religious press, whose columns we have carefully scanned, and from which we have gleaned much ; to the stated clerks of several religious associations, whose promptitude and courtesy we should be glad to acknowledge in plainer terms, did time and space permit ; to the annual publications of many church bodies ; to various Church Histories, "Appleton's Encyclopedia," the "Religious Encyclopedia" (press of Lippincott & Co., Philadelphia), "Rupp's History of Denominations," &c. ; and last, though not least, to the acknowledged organs of the various denominations and benevolent societies, from whose columns, opulent with valuable facts, we have gathered bounteous stores. In conclusion, we earnestly repeat our invitation to clergymen, officers of re- ligious bodies, editors of religious periodicals, collegiate and theological professors, and all who in any way have to do with the moral and religious interests of men, to send us minutes, reports, statistics, and their own post-office address, at home or abroad, that our next issue may more worthily represent the great interest and lever of the wrorld.

ADVENTISTS. Adventists, or, as they are sometimes termed, Second Adventists, owe their rise as a body in the United States mainly to William Miller, of Low Hampton, N. Y., who, in 1833, commenced lecturing on the speedy coming of* the Lord, which event, he sought to show from the holy Scriptures, would occur about 1843. The earnest- ness of his manner, his evident familiarity with the Scriptures and with history, and the bold confidence with which he proclaimed his views, made so deep and wide an impression, that he every where left in his wake large numbers examining the evi- dences for themselves. Among these, Joseph V. Hines, a minister of the Christian connexion, having become a believer, commenced, in 1840, without subscribers or funds, the publication of a semi-monthly journal entitled, Signs of the Times and Exposition of Prophecy, which, meeting with readers whose number steadily in- creased, he, two years later, issued weekly, under the title of the Advent Herald, and which aided largely in disseminating the doctrines of the Adventists, who now com- prised many thousands, in the United States, British America and Great Britain. This, journal, still published, in Boston, Mass., together with the labors of Mr. Miller, who gave his time, his energies, and his property to the extension of his views, and the efforts of numerous proselytes that every where rose up, soon established great numbers in a belief in the general correctness of Mr. Miller's interpretation of the prophecies and in leading them to look for the personal appearing of the Lord, which, though disappointed at the time set and frequently from time to time since, they still confidently believe to be very near. Though not so numerous as formerly, their aggregate number is still respectable, and their efforts for the dissemination of their convictions generous and unfaltering. While as a body they make little or no pretension to influence.as individuals they are necessarily close Bible students ; are liberal according to their means, to the poor and for the support of the gospel ; and noticeable in the main for the modesty and upright- ness of their walk and their careful conformity to the virtues and to law. They as a body, accept the great leading doctrines of the evangelical church, such as the divinity of Christ, his sacrifice and atonement for sin, the doctrine of future and eternal rewards and punishments, and are distinguished only for their peculiar belief in the personal coming of Christ, and his bodily reign with his saints on the earth. 22 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. They have no creed nor form of discipline other than the Word ot God, which they regard as a sufficient rule of faith and duty. They hold conferences as often as it is deemed necessary for the discussion of such subjects and measures as the interests of the cause may demand. These are consti- tuted both of ministerial and lay members, are purely voluntary and advisory, and claim to exercise no authority over the conscience of any. In round numbers, they are supposed to comprise from fifteen to twenty thousand, scattered over all the States of the Union, in which estimate those in the different chnrches, who are numerous, are not included. A distinguishing feature in their history was their confidence in the second advent of Christ about 1843, in which year they believed the prophetic periods would termi- nate. The main argument on which they rested was that relative to the termination of the 2300 days in Dan. viii. 14, which they regarded as years. Then considering the seventy weeks in Dan. ix. 24, as the key to the date of the 2300 days of the preced- ing chapter, and dating the periods B. C. 457, when Artaxerxes, king of Persia, sent up Ezra from his captivity, to restore the Jewish polity at Jerusalem (Ezra, chap. 7), and ending the' seventy weeks, as commentators generally do, in A. D. 33, with the crucifixion of Christ, they found the remainder of the 2300 days, which was 1810, wound end in 1843. The argument, many beside Adventists, thought a reasonable one, but the result proved it erroneous, without, however, shaking their confidence in the belief that the coming of the Lord is at the door. GENERAL DOCTRINES OF BELLEF. 1. They cannot see, if according to Isa. vii. 14, Christ was foretold to be born of a virgin, and it came to pass, Matt. i. 18-25; if, as foretold (Micah, v. 2), Christ was literally born in Bethlehem (Matt. ii. 1); if, as foretold (Dan. ix. 26), Messiah came at the expiration of seven weeks and sixty-two weeks (Mark, i. 15), and if after the sixty-two weeks Messiah was literally cut off; if, as foretold (Isa. liii. 8, 9), he was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of his people, and made his grave with the wicked and with the rich in his death; if (Ps. xvi. 10) Christ's soul was not left in hell, nor did his flesh see corruption ; if (Ps. ex. 1) Christ did sit on the right hand of God. and is to sit there till his enemies be made his footstool : — If all these predictions have literally come to pass, and they think they have, then they cannot see ground for doubting that the same rule will be observed in the fulfilment of all other grounds relating to Christ. 2. Prophecy (Gen. xxii. 18) foretells Christ as the seed of Abraham, in whom all the families of the earth shall be blessed. It also promises to the seed of Abraham, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession, in connection with Abraham himself (Gen. xvii. S); hence the land is called Emanuel's land (Isa. viii. 8).. But, when Christ was on earth, he had not where to lay his head. Therefore, he must return personally to inherit it. 3. Christ is the predicted Son of David, who is to sit forever on David's throne ; he is the Son of David according to the flesh (Ps. exxxii. 11). But. while on earth, he never sat on David's throne. He went to Jerusalem, as foretold, on an ass's colt; claimed his rights, and was proclaimed king by the children, but rejected by the rulers (Matt. xxi.). Hence, he must return to enjoy his kingdom and reign over the house of Jacob for ever (Luke i. 32, 33). 4. Christ has the promise of the uttermost parts of the earth for his possession (Ps. ii. 8); but he never yet had it. Therefore, he must come back to earth to possess it. 5. Prophecy (Dan. vii. 13, 14) points out the coming of Christ to receive his king- dom and dominion over all nations, to be in the "clouds of heaven." But he has AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 23 never yet come thus. He must, therefore, fulfil the prediction in futurity, at his second advent. He cannot have universal dominion till he does. 6. Christ rose from the dead in the identical body in which he was crucified and buried and was so identified (John, xx. 24-31). TIiopp who thus identified his per- > son, of flesh and bones, saw him go from earth up into heaven, and a cloud received him out of their sight. They were told by divine messengers that this same Jesus whom they saw go into heaven, " shall so come back again in like manner" (Acts, i! 7. That the second advent will be pre-millennial. First, Because the millennial reign is placed after the first resurrection (Rev. xx. 1-6), which cannot be till the second advent of Christ. [Those who have part in the first resurrection are saints, and will hve forever. The second death has no power on them. But thev that are Christ s. are to be raised at his coming; and that is the order of the resurrection to follow Christ s resurrection (1 Cor. xv. 23). Christ's coming, and the resurrection of the just, must therefore precede the millennial reign.] Second, Because the millen- nial period follows the casting the beast and the false prophet into the lake of fire and the shutting up of the Devil in the bottomless pit (Rev. six. 20 and xx 1-3)' third, Because, thus, before the millennium all the great anti-christian powers are to be put down. The man of sin, however, the son of perdition, is only to be destroyed by the brightness of Christ's coming (2 Thess. ii. 8). The coming of Christ, for'his destruction, must, therefore, be pre-millennial. 8. That there will be two resurrections, a thousand years apart, viz- the "first resurrection," "the resurrection of life," "the resurrection of the just;" and the "re- surrection of the rest of the dead," the "resurrection of damnation," the "resurrec- tion of the unjust." 9. That the general view that the Millennium will be a thousand years of peace and be introduced by the conversion of the world to Christ, and consist in his universal spiritual reign : and the Millennarian view that though Christ will come and reien personally on earth during the Millennium, yet that that period will be one of proba- tion, m which the heathen who had never heard of Christ, and the Jews who have been cut oft during the Christian dispensation, will have the Gospel preached to them and be converted, are both unscriptural and not to be received, because both the general and the specific teachings of the Bible are against it. Thus, the dream of Nebuchadnezzar (Dan. ii.), foretells four universal empires which are to fill up the period from then till the everlasting kingdom of God comes and destroys them and fills the whole earth. But there can be no everlasting kingdom without immortality winch cannot be till the resurrection at the second advent of Christ The seventh chapter of Daniel presents, in vision, the same four empires, with the divisions and successions ot the fourth empire, which only end (verses 13, 14), when the Son of Man comes in the clouds of heaven to receive his everlasting dominion, which is also universal. Till the judgment, the little blasphemous horn wears out the saints and prevails against them. So, also, in the 24th of Matthew— the course of events 'from the time of Christ to his second coming, and the end of the world is given There were to be wars, famines, pestilences, persecutions of the saints, false prophets false Uirists, abominations, great tribulations, mournings by all the tribes of the earth the preaching of His Gospel to all the world for a witness to all nations, and then the end should come, and they see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. There is no peace in the prediction till he comes There- lore, he will come personally to judge the world and reign, and not spiritually to convert and save the world. The tares and wheat, too (the righteous and wicked) are to grow together till the end of the world or age, and then they are to be cast off ana punished, and the other glorified in the kingdom of God (Matt. xiii. 24-43) For 24 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. these and many other reasons, tbey cannot believe in the conversion of the world before the second advent of the Saviour. 10. That the thousand years will be one of judgment rather than probation. For they read in the second Psalm that when the heathen are given to Christ for his inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for his possession, that he is to break or rule them (Rev. xii. 5, and ii. 27), with a rod of iron, and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel, which they consider to be any thing else beside conversion. They also read in psalm cxlix, that all the saints will " bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron, and execute upon them the judgments written." From Isa. lx., and Zech. xiv., they likewise learn that the worship and service of the heathen will be compulsory service. 11. That final and eternal retribution will be awarded to all nations when the Son of Man comes in his glory (Matt. xxv. and Luke xiii.). 12. That the promises made to Israel of a yet future and final gathering to the land of Canaan, will be literally accomplished, and Israel forever dwell there in peace. But that this cannot be fulfilled before the resurrection of the just, when the believing remnant of Israel, of every generation, including Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, will be raised from the dead, and restored to their own land. This, Ezekiel xxxvii. declares \vill be the way the whole house of Israel will be restored ; " I will open your graves, and bring you up out of your graves, and bring you into your own land." The resur- rection, according to Paul, is " the hope of Israel." But if the resurrected and glori- fied Israel are to have tho land and dwell there forever, the Jews in rlesh and blood, as a nation, cannot have it forever. All the promises, however, of a future return, promise an everlasting possession of the land. But mortal Jews cannot possess it forever — glorified and immortal ones can. Therefore, they are the heirs of promise. 13. That the coming of the Lord is at the door for the following reasons, viz. : First, The four great empires are to be succeeded by the kingdom of God ; and it is very manifest that the last — the Roman Government — has passed its predicted divisions, and must soon end. Second, The waning of the Ottoman or Mohammedan power is another index pointing to the speedy coming of the kingdom of Christ. Third. The universal movements and agitations, the famines, pestilences, and earth- quakes, the wars and rumors of wars, together with the signs in the sun, moon, and stars, etc.. etc., are conclusive evidence of His speedy approach. Fourth, The Gospel, which was to be preached in all the world, for a witness to all nations, is now com- pleting its work. 14. That the Advent Doctrine, embracing, as it does, the resurrection of the body, the personal and visible appearance and reign of Christ on earth, the restitution of the heavens and earth to their paradisical state, as the eternal inheritance of the saints, etc., as the only view which will explain and harmonize the word of God. BAPTISTS The Baptists claim to outnumber the adherents of any other persuasion in the United States. They are various, however, in doctrine, and divided into ten separate schools, to wit : 1. Baptists ; 2. Free Will Baptists ; 3. Free Communion Baptists ; 4. Old School Baptists ; 5. Six Principle Baptists ; 6. German Baptists, or Brethren; 7. River Brethren; 8. English Seventh Day Baptists; 9. German Seventh Day Baptists ; 10. Christian Connexion. AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD 25 REGULAR BAPTISTS. At Newport, R. I., in March, 1639, was formed by Roger Williams, and about ten others, the first Baptist Church in America ; in 1663, at Swansea, the first in Massachusetts; in 1688, at Middletown, the first in New Jersey ; in 1689, at Dublin, the first in Pennsylvania; in 1690, at Charleston, the first in South Carolina; in 1701, tat "Welsh Track, the first in Delaware; in 1705, at Groton, the first in Connecticut; in 1714, in Prince George County, the first in Virginia; in 1741, at Oyster Bay, I,ong Island, the first in New York State; in 1762, John Gaxs, Minister, the first in New York City. Numerous others were originated and built up in various other localities by ministers and others from England, Ireland, Wales, and Holland, who had belonged to Baptist Societies in their own land. From these humble beginnings, " what hath God wrought?" Baptism. — Of the various schools of Baptists, the Regular is by far the largest. It claims to be the only truly scriptural church, both in doctrine and government, acknowledges no confession of faith but that of the Holy Scriptures, and no head other than the Lord Jesus Christ. While differing from most other evangelical denominations in church government and discipline, it harmonizes with them in all the great leading doctrines, and is only at issue with them principally on the subject of baptism, with which it also associates close communion, as inseparably connected with it both in spirit and in fact. It ignores infant baptism as useless and absurd ; taking the broad ground that in so important a matter as church relationship, the understanding and the will of the individual should be consulted, which cannot be the case with baptized infants, who cannot be supposed to comprehend the character or significance of the rite, and in most cases are unaware of their participancy in it at all. It regards Baptism as a command of the Saviour's which has never been put aside, and with which it is the duty of every regenerate person to comply ; fading in which he or she cannot be said to have performed one of the Lord's plainest commands, aud therefore is unfit to sit at His table in the Lord's supper, and Baptists will not commune with such. They deny that they exclude any from the communion table ; asserting, on the contrary, that they who have not complied with the Lord's order in this particular, thereby exclude themselves. Nor yet will they commune even with Baptists of other schools that believe in free communion and permit unbaptized persons at the Lord's table. In both these cases, they claim that they only adhere to the tenor of the Lord's command, and to that spirit of order which should pre- eminently characterize the children of His house. It views the immersion of the whole person as the only legitimate form of baptism, holding sprinkling to be a departure from the scriptural mode and as barren m effect as if it had not been performed at all. It accords baptism only to those who make a public profession of their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and of having, on repentence, received the baptism of the Holy Ghost. It denies communion with even baptized persons that walk disorderly and contrary to the Gospel ; and will have no fellowship at the Lord's table with immersed mem- bers of churches that practice sprinkling, because such walk disorderly by holding membership in and walking in fellowship with churches which receive sprinkling instead of baptism. For the same reason, Baptists decline to commune in churches that practice sprinkling. Church Government. — Each separate church or society is entirely independent of all other churches, persons, and bodies, civil or ecclesiastical, and is governed by its own members, who alone have any voice or action in its affairs. Baptists there- fore hold that churches governed by popes, bishops, synods, presbyteries, conferences, 26 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD, or in any other way than by their own members, directly and exclusively, are not constituted on the model of the primitive churches, nor governed by the Gospel rule. Baptists admit of only two scriptural officers — pastor, (variously called in the New Testament "bishop," "overseer/' "presbyter," and "elder,") and deacons. Hence they claim that all churches which have more than two orders of officers have de- parted from the Gospel rule and the practice of the primitive churches. Meetings. — Baptist societies, where the business and habits of their members will admit of it, have weekly, beside the services on the Sabbath, three or more meetings, which, usually, run thus : Monday evening, inquiry meeting — for inquirers ; Wednes- day evening, lectiue, by the pastor ; Friday evening, prayer-meeting. They have, also, once a month, a church meeting, for the transaction of the business of the church, such as hearing the experience of converts desirous of becoming mem- bers ; disciplining disorderly members ; taking action upon officers, the pecuniary affairs of the society, &c. This meeting usually takes the place of the prayer-meet- ing for the week in which it is held. Pastoral Associations. — Baptist clergymen in every district have private monthly meetings for prayer, mutual watch, care, and interchange of pastoral experience, at which ministerial plans of action are freely discussed and determined, a careful* eye kept upon the social and religious status of each member, and the character of and avenues to the ministry guarded with exceeding vigilance. Benevolent Societies. — The benevolent societies of this school are numerous, important, and generously sustained. They consist, principally, of — 1. The American Baptist Missionary Union, established May 18, 1814; 2. The American Baptist Pub- lication Society, established Feb. 20, 1824; 3. American Baptist Home Mission Soci- ety, established April 27, 1832; 4. American and Foreign Bible Society, established May 12, 18156; 5. American Baptist Free Mission Society, established May 31, 1843; 6. Southern Baptist Convention, established May 8, 1845; 7. Southern Baptist Pub- lication Society, established May 13, 1847 ; 8. Various educational institutions, for aiding indigent but worthy young men for the ministry; 9. American Bible Union, established June 10, 1850. Periodical Literature. — Among American Baptists are thirty-two weekly relig- ious journals, fourteen monthly, and two quarterly issues, of which the larger pro- portion derive their support chiefly from the regular school. Institutions of Learning. — Thirty-four colleges, twelve theological seminaries, and various minor schools, owe their existence and support to this very large denomi- nation of Christians. The numerical strength of Regular Baptists, so far as can be ascertained, is a3 follows: Associations, 570; Churches, 11,600; Ordained Ministers, 7,150; Members, 925,000. Though B.egular Baptists accept of no authority other than the Bible, for their faith and practice, yet most of the societies have a confession of faith in pamphlet form for distribution among its members. The following form, generally known as the " New Hampshire Confession of Faith," is in general use among the societies North and East, while the "Philadelphia Confession of Faith" is that generally adopted at the South. We give both : CONFESSION OF FAITH OF REGULAR BAPTISTS, NORTH AND EAST. 1. The Scriptures. — We believe that the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired, and is a perfect treasure of heavenly instruction ; that it has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth without any mixture of error for its matter ; that it reveals the principles by which God will judge us ; and therefore is, and shall AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 27 repaain to the end of the world, the true centre of Christian union, and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and opinions should be tried. 2. The true God. — We believe the Scriptures teach that there is one, and only out-, living and true God, an infinite, intelligent Spirit, whose name is Jehovah, the Maker and Supreme Ruler of Heaven and Earth; inexpressibly glorious in holiness, and worthy of all possible honor, confidence, and love; that in the unity of the God- head there :tre three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; equal in every divine perfection, and executing distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of redemption. 3. The Fall of Man,. — "We believe the Scriptures teach that man was created in holiness, under the law of his Maker; but by voluntary transgression fell from that holy and happy state ; in consequence of which all mankind are now sinners, not by constraint but choice; being hy nature utterly void of that holiness required by the few of God. positively inclined to evil, and therefore under just condemnation to eternal ruin, without defence or excuse. \. The Way of Salvation. — We believe the Scriptures teach that the salvation of sinners is wholly of grace; through the mediatorial offices of the Son of God; who by the appointment of the Father, freely took upon him our nature, yet without sin; honored the diviue law by his personal obedience, and by his death made a full atone- ment for our sins; that having risen from the dead, he is now enthroned in heaven; and uniting in his wonderful person the tenderest sympathies with divine perfections, he is every way qualified to be a suitable, a compassionate, and an all-sufficient Saviour. 5. Justification. — We believe the Scriptures teach that the great Gospel blessing which Christ secures to such as believe in him is justification; that justification in- cludes the pardon of sin, and the promise of eternal life on principles of righteous- ness; that it is bestowed, not in consideration of any works of righteousness which we have done, but solely through faith in the Redeemer's blood; by virtue of which faith his perfect righteousness is freely imputed to us of God ; that it brings us into a state of most blessed peace and favor with God, and secures every other blessing needful tor time and eternity. 6. Salvation. — We believe the Scriptures teach that theJDlessings of salvation are made free to all by the Gospel ; that it is the immediate duty of all to accept them by a cordial, penitent and obedient faith ; and that nothing prevents the salvation of the greatest sinner on earth, but his own determined depravity and voluntary rejec- tion of the Gospel ; which rejection involves him in an aggravated condemnation. 7. Regeneration. — We believe the Scriptures teach that in order to be saved, sin- ners must be regenerated, or born again ; that regeneration consists in giving a holy disposition to the mind ; that it is effected in a manner above our comprehension by the power of the Holy Spirit, in connection with divine truth, so as to secure our voluntary obedience to the Go3pel ; and that its proper evidence appears in the holy fruits of repentance, and faith, and newness of life. 8. Repentance and Faith. — We believe the Scriptures teach that repentance and faith are sacred duties, and also inseparable graces, wrought in our souls by the re- generating Spirit of God ; whereby being deeply convinced of our guilt, danger and helplessness, and of the way of salvation by Christ, we turn to God with tinfeigned contrition, confession, and supplication for mercy ; at the same time heartily receiv- ing the Lord Jesus Christ as our prophet, priest and king, and relying on him alone as the only and all-sufficient Saviour. 9. — Gods Purpose of Grace. — We believe the Scriptures, teach that election is the eternal purpose of God, according to which he graciously regenerates, sanctifies, and saves sinners ; that being perfectly consistent with the free agency of man, it com- prehends all the means in connection with the end ; that it is a most glorious display 38 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. of God's sovereign goodness, being infinitely free, wise, holy and unchangeable; that it utterly excludes boasting, and promotes humility, love, prayer, praise, trust in God, and active imitation of his free mercy ; that it encourages the use of means in the highest degree ; that it may be ascertained by its effects in all who truly believe the Gospel ; that it is the foundation of Christian assurance ; and that to ascertain it with regard to ourselves demands and deserves the utmost diligence. 10. Sanctijication. — "We believe the Scriptures teach that sanctification is the pro- cess by which, according to the will of God, we are made partakers of his holiness ; that it is a progressive work ; that it is begun in regeneration ; and that it is carried on in the hearts of believers by the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, the Sealer and Comforter, in the continual use of the appointed means— especially the word of God, self-examination, self-denial, watchfulness, and prayer. 11. Perseverance of Saints. — "We believe the Scriptures teach that such only are real believers as endure unto the end ; that their persevering attachment to Christ is the grand mark winch distinguishes them from superficial professors ; that a special Providence watches over their welfare ; and they are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation. 12. The Law and Gospel. — We believe the Scriptures teach that the law of God is the eternal and unchangeable rule of his moral government ; that it is holy, just and good ; and that the inability which the Scriptures ascribe to fallen man to fulfill its precepts, arises entirely from their love of sin ; to deliver them from which, and to restore them through a Mediator to unfeigned obedience to the holy law, is one great end of the Gospel, and of the Means of Grace connected with the establishment of the visible church. 13. A Gospel Church. — "We believe the Scriptures teach that a visible church of Christ is a congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the Gospel ; observing the ordinances of Christ ; governed by his laws ; and exercising the gifts, rights, and privileges invested in them by His word that its only scriptural officers are bishops, or pastors, and deacons, whose qualifica- tions, claims and duties are defined in the Epistles to Timothy and Titus. 14. Baptism a?id the Lord's Suppei'. — We believe the Scriptures teach that Christian Baptism is the immersion in water of a believer, into the name of the Father, and Son, and Holy Ghost ; to show forth in a solemn and beautiful emblem, our faith in the crucified, buried, and risen Saviour, with its effect, in our death to sin and resurrection to a new life ; that it is pre-requisite to the privileges of a church relation ; and to the Lord's Supper, in which the members of the church, by the sacred use of bread and wine, are to commemorate together the dying love of Christ; preceded always by solemn self-examination. , 15. The Christian Sabbath. — We believe the Scriptures teach that the first day of the week is the Lord's Day, or Christian Sabbath; and it i3 to be kept sacred to re- ligious purposes, by abstaining from all secular labor, and sinful recreations, by the devout observance of all the means of grace, both private and public, and by prepar- ation for that rest which remaineth for the people of God. 16. Civil Government. — We believe the Scriptures teach that civil government is of divine appointment, for the interest and good order of human society ; and that magistrates are to be prayed for, conscientiously honored and obeyed, except only in things opposed to the will of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the only Lord of the con- science, and the Prince of the kings of the earth. 17. Righteous and Wicked. — We believe the Scriptures teach that there is a radical and essential difference between the righteous and the wicked ; that such only as through faith are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and sanctified by the Spirit of our God, are truly righteous in his esteem ; while all such as continue in impetu- AMEK1UA3 CHRISTIAN RECORD. 29 tence and unbelief are, in his sight, wicked and under the curse ; and this distinction holds among men both in and after death. 18. The World to Come. — We believe the Scriptures teach that the end of the world is approaching ; that at the Last Day, Christ will descend from heaven, and raise the dead from the grave for final retribution ; that a solemn separation will then take place ; that the wicked will be adjudged to endless punishment, and ihe right- eous to endless joy ; and that this judgment will fix forever the final state of men in heaven or hell, on principles of righteousness. 19. Covenant — Having been, as we trust, brought by divine grace to embrace the Lord Jesus Christ, and to give ourselves wholly to him, we do now solemnly and joyfully covenant with each other, to walk together in him, with brotherly love, to his glory as our common Lord. We do, therefore, in his strength, engage — That we will exercise a Christian care and watchfulness over each other, and faith- fully warn, exhort, and admonish each other, as occasion may require : That, we will not forsake the assembling of ourselves together, but will uphold the public worship of God, and the ordinances of his house : That, we will not omit closet and family religion at home, nor neglect the great duty of religiously training our children, and those under our care, for the service of Christ, and the enjoyment of heaven : That, as we are the light of the world, and salt of the earth, we will seek divine aid, to enable us to deny ungodliness, and every worldly lust, and to walk circum- spectly in the world, that we may win the souls of men : That, we will cheerfully contribute of our property, according as God has pros- pered us, for the maintenance of a faithful and evangelical ministry among us, for the support of the poor, and to spread the Gospel over the earth : That, we will, in all conditions, even till death, strive to live to the glory of him, who hath called us out of darkness into his marvellous light. , "And may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make us perfect in every good work, to do his will, working in us that which is well pleas- ing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to wkom be glory, forever and ever. Amen." confession op faith of baptist churches, south. 1. Holy Scripture.— -The Holy Scripture is the only sufficient, certain, and infallible rule of all saving knowledge, faith, and obedience ; the supreme judge by which all controversies of religion are to be determined, and all decrees of councils, opinions of ancient writers, doctrines of men, and private spirits, are to be examined, and in whose sentence we are to rest. 2. God tJie Trinity. — The Lord our God is but one only living and true God, infinite in being and perfection. In' this divine and infinite being, there are three subsisten- ces, the Father, the Word (or Son), and Holy Spirit, of one substance, power, and eternity. 3. God's Decree. — Those of mankind that are predestinated to life, God, before the foundation of the world was laid, according to his eternal and immutable purpose, and the secret counsel and good pleasure of his will, hath chose in Christ unto ever- lasting glory, out of his mere free grace and love ; without any other thing in the creature as a condition or cause moving him thereunto. As God hath appointed the elect unto glory, so he hath, by the eternal and most free purpose of his will, fore- 30 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. ordained all the means thereunto ; wherefore they who are elected, being fallen in Adam, are redeemed by Christ, are effectually called unto faith by Christ, by his Spirit working in due season, are justified, adopted, sanctihed. and kept by his power through faith unto salvation. 4. The Fall of Man and Sin. — Although God created man upright and perfect, and gave to him a righteous law, yet he did not long abide in this honor, but did wilfully transgress the command given unto him in eating the forbidden fruit ; which God was pleased, according to his wise and holy counsel, to permit, having purposed to order it to his nwn glory. Our first parents, by this sin, fell from their original righteous- ness and communion with God, whereby death came upon all ; all becoming dead in sin, and wholly defiled in all the faculties and parts of soul and body. They being the root, corrupted nature was conveyed to all their posterity, descending from them by ordinary generation, being now conceived in siyi, and by nature children of wrath. 5. God's Covenant. — Man having brought himself under the curse of the law by his fall, it pleased the Lord to reveal the Covenant of Grace, wherein he freely offereth unto sinners life and salvation by Jesus Christ, requiring of them faith in him, that they might be saved ; and promising to give unto all those that are ordained unto eternal life, his Holy Spirit, to make them willing and able to believe. 6. Christ the Mediator.— -The Son of God, the second person in the Holy Trinity, being very and eternal God, the brightness of the Father's glory, of one substance, and equal with him, who made the world, who upholdeth and governeth all things he hath made, did, when the fullness of time was come, take upon him man's nature, with all the essential properties and common infirmities thereof, yet without sin — so that two whole, perfect, and distinct natures were inseparably joined together in one person, which person is very God and very man, yet one Christ, the only Mediator between God and man. 7. Redemption. — The Lord Jesus, by his perfect obedience and sacrifice of himself, which he, through the eternal Spirit, once offered up unto God, hath fully satisfied the justice of God, procured reconciliation, and purchased an everlasting inheritance in the kingdom of heaven, for all those whom the Father hath given unto him. To all those for whom Christ hath obtained eternal redemption, he doth certainly and effectually apply and communicate the same ; making intercession for them ; uniting them to himself by his Spirit ; revealing unto them, in and by the word, the mystery of salvation ; persuading them to believe and obey ; governing their hearts by his word and Spirit, and overcoming all their enemies by his almighty power and wisdom, in such manner and ways as are most consonant to his wonderful and unsearchable dispensation, and all of free and absolute grace, without any condition foreseen in them to procure it. 8. The Will. — Man, by his fall into a state of sin, hath wholly lost all will to any spiritual good accompanying salvation ; so as a natural man, being altogether averse from that good, and dead in sin, is not able, by hi3 own strength, to convert himself, or to prepare himself thereunto. When God converts a sinner, and translates him into the state of grace, he freeth him from his natural bondage under sin, and by his grace alone enables him freely to will, and to do that which is spiritually good. 9. Effectual Calling. — Those whom God hath predestinated unto life, he is pleased, in his appointed and accepted time, effectually to call by his word and Spirit, out of that state of sin and death, in which they are by nature, to grace of salvation by Jesus Christ. 10. Justification. — Those whom God effectually calleth, he also freely justifieth, accounting and accepting their persons as righteous ; not for any thing wrought in them, or done by them, but for Christ's sake alone. AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 81 11. Adoption. — All those that are justified, God vouchsafed, in and for the sake of his only Son, Jesus Christ, to make partakers of the grace of adoption, by which they are taken into the number, and enjoy the liberties and privileges of children of God. 13. SaiictijicA ion. — They who are united to Christ, effectually called and regener- ated, having a new heart and a new spirit created in them, through the virtue of Christ's death and resurrection, are also further sanctified, really and personally, through the same virtue, by his word and Spirit dwelling in them. 13. Saving Faith. — The grace of faith, whereby the elect are enabled to believe to the saving of their souls, is the work of the Spirit of Christ in their hearts, and is ordinarily wrought by the ministry of the word. 14. Repentance. — Saving repentance is an evangelical grace, whereby a person, being by the Holy Spirit made sensible of the manifold evils of his sin, doth, by faith in Christ, humble himself for it, with godly sorrow, detestation of it, and self- abhorrency. 15. Good Works. — Good works, done in obedience to God's commandments, are the fruits and evidences of a true and lively faith. 16. Perseverance. — Those whom God hath accepted in the Beloved, effectually called and sanctified by his Spirit, shall certainly persevere therein to the end, and be eternally saved. 17. Moral Law. — The moral law doth forever bind all, as well justified persons as others, to the obedience thereof, and that not only in regard to the matter contained in it, but also in respect of the authority of God the Creator who gave it ; neither doth Christ in the Gospel any way dissolve, but much strengthen this obligation. 18. TJie Sabbath. — God, by his word, in a positive, moral and perpetual command- ment, binding all men, in all ages, hath particularly appointed one day in seven for a Sabbath to be kept holy unto him, which, from the beginning of the world, to the re- surrection of Christ, was the last day of the week ; and from the resurrection of Christ, was changed into the first day of the week, which he called the Lord's day. 19. The Church. — The Lord Jesus Christ is the head of the Church, in whom, by the appointment of the Father, all power for the calling, institution, order, or govern- ment of the church, is invested in a supreme and sovereign manner. In the execu- tion of this power, the Lord Jesus calleth out of the world unto himself, through the ministry of his word, by his Spirit, those that are given unto him by his Father, that they may walk before him in all the ways of obedience, which he prescribeth to them in his word. 20. Church Officers. — A particular church gathered, and completely organized ac- cording to the mind of Christ, consists of officers and members ; and the officers ap- pointed by Christ to be chosen and set apart by the church are bishops, or elders, and deacons. 21. Ministers, their Duty and Support. — The work of pastors being constantly to attend the service of Christ, in his churches, in the ministry of the word, and prayer, with watching for their souls, as they that must give an account to him; it is incum- bent on the churches to whom they minister, not only to give them all due respect, but to communicate to them of all their good things, according to their ability. 22. Baptism. — Baptism is an ordinance of the New Testament, ordained by Jesus Christ, to be unto the party baptised a sign of his fellowship with Mm in his death and resurrection ; of his being engrafted into him ; of remission of sins ; and of his giving up unto God, through Jesus Christ, to live and walk in newness of life. Those who do actually profess repentance towards God, and obedience to our Lord Jesus Christ, are the only proper subjects of this ordinance. The outward element to be used in this ordinance is water, wherein the party is to be immersed, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. 23. Lord's Supper. — The supper of the Lord Jesua was instituted by him, the 32 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. sarae night wherein he was betrayed, to be observed in his churches unto the end of the world, for the perpetual remembrance and showing forth the sacrifice of himself iu his dearth. 24. The Pusurrection. — The bodies of men after death return to dust, and see cor- ruption ; bat their souls, which neither die nor sleep, having an immortal subsistence, immediately return to God who gave them ; the souls of the righteous being then made perfect iu holiness, are received into paradise, where they are with Christ, and behold the face of God, in light and glory, waiting for the full redemption of their bodies ; and the souls of the wicked are cast into hell, where they remain in torment and utter darkness, reserved to the judgment of the great day. 26. The Judgment. — God hath appointed a day wherein he will judge the world iu righteousness, by Jesus Christ ; to whom all power and judgment is given of the Fiither ; then shall the righteous go into everlasting life, and receive the fulness of joy and glory, with everlastiug reward, in the presence of the Lord ; but the wicked who know not God, and obey not the Gospel of Jesus Christ, shall be cast into eter- nal torments, and punished with everlasting destruction, from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power. FREE WILL BAPTISTS. This body of Baptists owes its origin in the United States to Elder Benjamin Ran- dall, of New Castle, N. H., who. on account of his belief in free will and a free and full salvation, was, in July, 1779, at New Durham, ejected from the regular Baptist church. As his ministerial efforts had been largely blessed, his ejection gave great offence to many, who rallied around him in his trial and sustained him by their sym- pathy and liberality. "It makes no difference to me who disowns me, so long as I know that the Lord owns me. And now let that God be God who answers by fire ; and that people be God's people, whom he owneth and blesseth!" The same year the church in Loudon and Canterbury, with its minister, and the church in Strafford and minister, protested against Calvinism, and stood independent, until at an early period they came into the new connection. By these ministers, Mr. Randall was ordained, in March, 1780 ; and on the 30th of June, in the same year, he organized, in Xew Durham, the first Free Will Baptist Church. His labors, at home and in the surrounding country, were incessant, and so largely blessed, that, in a short time, there were several churches associated with this. The new sect was everywhere spoke; i against ; the cry of delusion and fanaticism was raised, and their enemies variously stig- matized them as Randallites, General Provisioners, New Lights, Free Willers, &c., a history of their sect, memoirs of the leading spirits who have risen and given it forward impulses, a few theological works, and standard hymn-books, are among their chief contributions to literature w|eZSI^J-B5^ Fre6 WiU Baptist Forei^ Mission Society, the Free Jree WO ft25% SrS ITY't^ ^ WU1 BaPtist Education Socie^ and the the deTominaSon ' *" the leading benevolent institutions of Z^rary /^^to^.-The Free WiU Baptists have under their control one college and several ^seminaries, principally in the Eastern, Western, and Middle States where their chief denominational strength lies. outlet,, wnere Usages .-Churches are organized, and ministers ordained, by a council from a Quarterly Meeting Mm sters, as such, are subject to the discipline of the Quarterlv Meeting to which they belong, not to the church of which they are pastor Churches hold monthly conferences and report once in three months to the Quarterlv Meetino by letter and delegate*.

The denomination, some years since, withdrew connection from four thousand in North Carolina, on account of their being slaveholders, and subsequently refused, on the same ground, to receive some twelve thousand from Kentucky and adjoining States, who had sent a delegation to the General Conference for that purpose. For this reason there are few Free "Will Baptists, as such, in the South. The General Baptists of England, in usages and sentiments are with this body, and a correspondence and exchange of publications have been carried on between them for many years. Free Will Baptists have warmly espoused Ind liberally support the various leading religious enterprises of the age. The statistics of the denomination may be summed up as follows : Associations, 130; Churches, 1170; Ordained Ministers, 947; Members, 50,600. CONFESSION OF FAITH. 1. The Scriptures. — The Holy Scriptures, embracing the Old and New Testaments, were given by inspiration of God, and constitute the Christian's perfect rule of faith and practice. 2. God. — There is only one true and living God, who is a spirit, self-existent, eter- nal, immutable, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, independent, good, wise, just, and merciful ; the creator, preserver and governor of the universe ; the redeemer, saviour, sanctifier, and judge of men ; and the only proper object of divine worship. He exists in three persons, offices, distinctions, and relations — Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, which mode of existence is above the understanding of finite men. 3. Christ. — The Son of God possesses all divine perfections, which is proven from his titles: true God, great God, mighty God, God over all, etc.; his attributes; eter- nal, unchangeable-, omniscient, etc., and from his works. He is the only incarnation of the Divine Being. 4. The Holy Spirit. — He has the attributes of God ascribed to him in the Scrip- tures ; is the sanctifier of the souls of men, and is the third person in the Godhead. 5. Creation. — God created the world and all it contains for his own glory, and the enjoyment of his creatures ; and the angels, to glorify and obey him. 6. Man's Primitive State, and his Fall. — Our first parents were created in the image of God, holy and upright and free ; but, by yielding to temptation, fell from that state, and all their posterity with them, they then being in Adam's loins; and the whole human family became exposed to temporal and eternal death. 7. The Atonement. — As sin cannot be pardoned without a sacrifice, and the blood of beasts could never actually wash" away sin, Christ gave himself a sacrifice for the sins of the world, and thus made salvation possible for all men. Through the re- demption of Christ man is placed on a second state of trial ; this second state so far differing from the first, that now men are naturally inclined to transgress the com- mands of God, and will not regain the image of God in holiness but through the atonement by the operation of the Holy Spirit. All who die short of the age of ac- countability are rendered sure of eternal life. Through the provisions of the atone- ment all are abilitated to repent of their sins and yield to God ; the Gospel oall is to all. the Spirit enlightens all, and men are agents capable of choosing or refusing. 8. Regeneration is an instantaneous renovation of the soul by the Spirit of God, whereby the penitent sinner, believing in and giving up all for Christ, receives new life, and becomes a child of God. This change is preceded by true conviction, re- pentance of, and penitential sorrow for sin ; it is called in Scripture, being born again, born of the Spirit, passing from death unto life. The soul is then justified with God. AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 35 9. Sandification is a setting apart the soul and body for holy service, an entire consecration of all our ransomed powers to God ; believers are to strive for this -with all diligence. 10. Perseverance. — As the regenerate are placed in a state of trial during life, their future obedience and final salvation are neither determined nor certain ; it is, how- ever their duty and privilege to be steadfast in the truth, to grow in grace, persevere in holiness, and make their election sure. 11. Immediately after death, men enter into a state of happiness or misery, accord- ing to their character. At some future period, known only to God, there will be a resurrection both of the righteous and the wicked, when there will be a general judg- ment, when all will be judged according to the deeds done in the body ; the righteous be admitted into eternal happiness, and the wicked assigned to eternal misery. 12. The Church. — A Christian church is an assembly of persons who believe in Christ, and worship the true God agreeably to his word. In a more general sense, it signifies the whole body of real Christians throughout the world. The church being the body of Christ, none but the regenerate, who obey the Gospel, are its real members. Believers are received into a particular cburch, on their giving evidence of faith, covenanting to walk according to the Christian rule, and being baptised. 13. Baptism. — Baptism is an immersion of the candidate in water, in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost ; the only proper candidate being one who gives evidence of a change of heart. 14. Communion. — Communion is a solemn partaking of bread and wine, in com- memoration of the death and sufferings of Christ. OLD SCHOOL, OR ANTI-MISSION BAPTISTS. This body of Christians were formerly in connection with the Regular Baptists, whom they term New School, or Mission Baptists, and from whom they now hold themselves as distinct as from any other denomination. They are opposed to the academical or theological education of their ministry, and to Bible, Missionary, Publication, and all other voluntary societies of like nature, which they regard as of mere human invention, and diverse from that simplicity of order instituted by Christ, and declared in the New Testament as the law of His kingdom, and by which he would keep his people constantly mindful that, in the building up of his church, giving to them pastors and teachers, and gathering in his elect, "the excellency of the power is of God, and not of" men. When, in 1813, missionary and other kindred institutions were introduced into the Baptist Church, a spirit of discontent and opposition arose at their introduction in some churches and associations, which continued to manifest itself for several years, till finally, in 1832, the dissatisfied churches and associations determined to withdraw, and form a separate organization. They, therefore, in that year, issued an address to the churches, setting forth that they could no longer give fellowship to brethren that countenanced the mass of humanly devised institutions that had been foisted upon the church, whose pure doctrines they corrupted, whose peace they disturbed, and whose Scriptural simplicity they had subverted, and inviting all who loved the truth in its integrity, and had groaned, like themselves, under the burdens of human inventions, to communicate with them. "Numbers of churches and associations promptly re- sponded, a general correspondence was opened, a meeting held, and an organization formed under the distinguishing appeliatioa of Old School Baptists, which they con- 36 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. sidered as specially appropriate to them, not only as going back to the ancient order of Baptists, but from its having been given to such as adhered to the old doctrine of predestination and special atonement. They receive the Holy Scriptures as their only rule of faith and practice, have no confidence in human effort, or human schemes for reform, are opposed to theological schools, as such, will not tolerate mere scholastic preachers ; and for removing abuses of all and every nature, enlightening the human mind, and leading men to faith and salvation iu Christ, rely wholly and exclusively upon the sure Word of God, and His Spirit. Their denominational strength lies principally in the South and South-west, having but few churches and associations in the Eastern and Middle States. Their church polity is the same as that of the regular Baptists, from whom, as will be seen from the foregoing, they differ mainly by their opposition to all voluntary associations. They number, Associations, 155; Churches, 1750; Ordained Ministers, 415; Members, 62,000. SIX PRINCIPLE BAPTISTS. The Six Principle Baptists originated in this country in Rhode Island. Their first church is said to have been constituted as early as 1665. In 1730, of seventeen Bap- tist churches in that State, thirteen were Six Principle Baptist. Their church polity is so similar to that of other Baptists, that it does not need a description. Their ministry, generally, has not been liberally educated, nor ade- quately supported. They have not been forward in the so-called reformatory move- ments of the time, never have made any missionary effort, and are generally opposed to Temperance, Moral Reform, and Anti-Slavery Societies, believing the Gospel all- sufficient for these and all other fields. Their total number is very small; their churches confinad, so far as we are able to learn, to the States of Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania, They discard the payment or reception of a stated salary for their preachers, who are generally obliged to support themselves and families, and therefore have not the opportunity of traveling and carrying their views into distant places. In doctrine, they are Arminian, holding to a general, in opposition to a limited or particular atonement, and hence they sometimes are termed, and term themelves, General Baptists. Their literature is very limited. Their Churches number about 18 ; Ordained Ministers, 16; Members, 3,000. DOCTRINE. The peculiarities distinguishing them from other Baptists are principally what they deduce from the first three verses of the sixth chapter of Hebrews. These, they conclude, contain the fundamental system of Christ's revealed plan and way of sal- vation. Hence, they derive their name from the fact that six particulars are men- tioned in this passage, viz. : repentance from dead works, faith towards God, doctrine of baptisms, laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 1. Repentance from Dead Works. — As all are sinners, all are under obligation to repent, as unless they repent they must all perish. AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 3t 2. Faith toward God. — Repentance will lead the sinner to obtain "faith toward God," by which he is born of the Spirit, cleansed from all sin and guilt, has hi3 heart purified, and is become a meet temple for the Holy Ghost to dwell in. 3. Doctrine of Baptisms. — The word is in the plural, and signifies more baptisms than one. 1. John's baptizing with .the baptism of repentance. 2. The baptism of the Holy Ghost and with fire, on the day of Pentecost — the only baptism of the kind. 3. The baptism of Christ's sufferings. After the resurrection of Christ, the establishment of his kingdom here on earth, and his accession to glory, there is, by the authority of his gospel, to be but "one Lord, one faith, and one baptism," viz. : 4. The apostles, and their successors in the ministry, baptizing the believers in Christ in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The mode of this baptism, according to the true signification of the word, is to dip, plunge, im- merse, overwhelm, &c, representing the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. 4. Laying on of Hands. — This corresponds with episcopal confirmation. They hold this rite in connection with, and of equal authority with, baptism, and all the other principles of Christ's doctrine, and refuse communion and church membership to all who have not been " under hands." 5. Resurrection of the Dead. — The doctrine of the resurrection is the great pillar of the whole gospel system. The resurrection of Christ from the dead is that founda- tion upon which all Christianity depends. "If we believe that Jesus died and rose again, they also that sleep in Jesus shall God bring with him. But there shall be a resurrection both of the just and the unjust ; they that have done good to the resur- jection of life, and they that have done evil to the resurrection of damnation." 6. Eternal Judgment. — This is called the eternal judgment, because it will finally decide and unalterably fix the eternal state of all God's accountable creatures. SEVENTH-DAY BAPTISTS. Seventhly Baptists are distinguished from regular Baptists mainly by their views of the Sabbath, iu respect to which 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 immut- .able 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 tthe 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 re- garded 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. 6 th. 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. 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. Their numbers are not very large, and these mainly in the States of Rhode Island, 38 American christian record. Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois and Indiana. Though small, the denomination is devoted and energetic. The Seventh-day Bap- tist Missiouary Society was organized in 1842, for spreading the Gospel at home and abroad, in which it has already done good work. Its missionaries in China have organized at Shanghae a church, and built a chapel and dwelling-house. The Amer- ican Sabbath Tract Society, organized in 1843, for the promotion of the scriptural observance of the Sabbath, has issued a considerable number of tracts and other pub- lications, relating to the Sabbath, which have done and are still accomplishing much good. The Seventh-Day Baptist Publishing Society, established in 1849, issues a weekly paper, called The SabbaUi Recorder, a monthly, styled The Sabbath School Visitor, and a quarterly magazine of history, biography, and statistics, entitled The Seventh-Day Baptist Memorial. Its literary institutions are the De Ruyter Institute, located at De Ruyter, N. Y. ; the Alfred Academy, at Alfred, N. Y. ; a smaller acad- emy at Sliiloh, N. J., and another at Milton, Wisconsin. All of these institutions are sustained with liberality and spirit. They are close communionists, and regard immersion as the only scriptural mode of baptism. They have 68 churches, 72 ordained ministers, and, as near as can be ascertained, about 7,500 members. CONFESSION OF FAITH. j{# Q0dm — "We believe that there is one God and that there is no other. That Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God and of Jesus Christ his Son. That there is a union existing between the Father and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and that they are equally divine and oqually entitled to our adora- tion. 2. The Fall of Man. — We believe that man was made upright and good, and had ability to have remained so, but that, through temptation, he was induced to violate the law of God, and thus fell from his uprightness, and came under the curse of the law, and became a subject of death ; and that all his posterity have inherited from him depravity and death. 3. Christ, — We believe that God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. That he took on him our nature, and was born of the Virgin Mary ; that he offered liimself a sacrifice for sin ; that he suffered death upon the cross ; was buried, and at the expiration of three days and three nights, rose from the dead ; and that he ascended to the right hand of God, and is the mediator between God and man ; from whence he will come to judge, and reward all men according to the deeds done in their bodies. 4. A tonement. — We believe that by the humiliation and sufferings of Christ he made an atonement, and became the propitiation for the sins of the whole world ; but that the nature or character of this atonement is such as not to admit of justification without faith, or salvation without holiness. 5. Regeneration, We believe that regeneration is essential to salvation, that it con- sists in a renovation of the heart, hatred to sin, and love to God ; and that it produces reformation of life in whatever is known to be sinful ; and a willing conformity to the authority and precepts of Christ. 6. Good Works.— We believe that good works are not the ground of the believer's hope, but that they are fruits essential to a justified state, and necessary as evi- dence of a new birth.

This state of things could not last, and in 1825 they separated. More extensive re- vivals shortly followed in Harrisburg, Lebanon, Lancaster, Shippensburg, Marietta, and other places, greatly to the indignation of old school brethren, who were equally shocked and amazed at the new fangle, which they gravely denounced as a fresh engine of Satan for annoying and distracting the church. The views of Mr. "Wine- BRENNER having, in the interim, undergone a change in respect as to church ordi- nances and organizations, he united with others in adopting the apostolic plan, and established free churches of believers, or Christians, only, without any human name, creed, or laWs. Among the young converts were several able men, who subsequently became powerful and influential preachers. These, with a few others kindred in views and spirit, in October, 1830, pursuant to public notice, met at the Union Hotel, at Har- risburg, where, after a sermon and deliberation, it was unanimously agreed: Lst. That there is but one true church, viz: the Church of God. 2d. That it is the bounden duty of all Clod's people to belong to her, and none else. 3d. That it is lawful and right to associate together for the purpose of co-operation in the cause of God. 4 th. That we agree to hold an eldership annually for this purpose, consisting of teaching and ruling elders of the Church of God. The teaching elders present then subscribed their names, viz : John "Winebrenner, Andrew Miller, John Elliott, John Walborn, David Maxwell, and James Richards. Thus originated the Church of God in the United States, and thus also the first eldership. The Officers are two bishops (or elders) and deacons. Eldersldps (answering to the conventions of Baptists) meet annually; while a Ge- neral Eldership, of delegates from annual elderships, is held every three years. The General Eldership owns and controls all the common property of the church, such as the printing establishment, steriotype plates, copyrights, and whatever else may come into its hands by way of purchase, bequest, donation, or otherwise. No minister can be a delegate to the General Eldership who has not held a preacher's license for five years previous to such appointment. The denomination takes a firm stand in favor of Bible, Education, Missionary, Tract, and Temperance Societies ; also in favor of Sabbath schools, Bible classes, and all systems and modes of instruction calculated to benefit men and the rising gene- ration, and lead them to the Author of salvation. The church property of each society, such as the meeting-house (by the denomina- tion termed Bethels), parsonage, etc., is held by hte elder in trust for his successor in office, the deed containing a provisionafy clause, transferring the same to the annual eldership of the district in which it is located, in the event of the extinction of the Society. The church will have no fellowship with any who countenance Slavery, directly or indirectly, and is equally severe upon the makers and venders of ardent spirits. The denomination has a Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society, and a Printing Establishment, for the publication of religious tracts, pamphlets, books, and periodi- cals, both of which are under the sole control of the General Eldership. It has some 275 Churches, 140 Ordained Ministers, and 11.000 Members AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 41 DECLARATION OF VIEWS OF THE CHURCH OF GOD. 1. She believes the Bible, or the canonical books of the Old and New Testament to be the Word of God, a revelation from God to man, and the only authoritative rule of faith and practice. 2. She believes in one Supreme God, consisting of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that these three are co-equal and co-eternal. 3. She believes in the fall and depravity of man ; that is to say, that man by na- ture is destitute of the favor and image of God. 4. She believes in the redemption of man through the atonement, or vicarious sacrifice of Jesus Christ. 5. She believes in the gifts and office-work of the Holy Spirit ; that is, in the en- Jightening, regenerating, and sanctifying influence and power of the Spirit. 6. She believes in the free moral agency of man ; that he has moral ability, because commanded to repent and believe, in order to be saved ; and that the doctrine of unconditional election and reprobation, has no foundation in the oracles of God. 7. She believes that man is justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of law, or by works of his own righteousness. 8. She believes in the necessity of regeneration, or the new birth ; or, in the change of man's moral nature, after the image of God, by the influence and power of the word and Spirit of God, through faith in Christ Jesus. 9. She believes in three positive ordinances of perpetual standing in the church, viz. : Baptism, Feet Washing, and the Lord's Supper. 10. She believes two things essential to the validity of baptism, viz. : faith and immersion — that faith should always precede immersion ; and that where either is wanting, there can be no Scriptural baptism. 11. She believes that the ordinance of feet washing, that is, the literal washing of the saint's feet, according to the words and example of Christ, is obligatory upon all Christians, and ought to be observed by all the churches of God. 12. She believes that the Lord's Sup>per should be often administered, and, to be consistent, to Christians only, in a sitting posture, and always in the evening. 13. She believes in the institution of the Lord's day, or Christian Sabbath, as a day of rest and religious worship. 14. She believes that the reading and preaching of God's word, the singing of psalms and hymns, and spiritual songs, and the offering up of prayers, are ordained of God, and ought to be regularly and devoutly observed by ail the people and churches of God. 15. She believes in the propriety and utility of holding fast days, experience meet- ings, anxious meetings, camp meetings, and other special meetings of united and protracted efforts for the edification of the church and the conversion of sinners. 16. She believes that the Gospel ministry, Sabbath schools, education, the reli- gious press, the Bible, missionary, temperance, and all other benevolent causes, ought to be heartily supported. 17. She believes that the church ought to relieve and take care of her own poor saints, superannuated ministers, widows, and orphans. 18. She believes that the manufacture, traffic, and use of ardent spirits, as a bev- erage or common drink, is injurious and immoral, and ought to be abandoned. 19. She believes the system or institution of involuntary slavery to be impolitic or unchristian. 20t She believes that all civil wars are unholy and sinful, and in which the saints of the Most High ought never to participate. 42 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 21. She believes that civil governments are ordained of God for the general good ; that Christians ought to be subject to the same in all things, except what is mani- festly unscriptural ; and that appeals to the law, out of the church, for justice, and the adjustments of civil rights, are not inconsistent with the principles and duties of the Christian religion. 22. She believes in the necessity of a virtuous and holy life, and that Christ will save those only who obey him. 23. She believes in the visibility, unity, sanctity, universality, and perpetuity of the church of God. 24. She believes in the personal coming and reign of Jesus Christ. 25. She believes in the resurrection of the dead, "both of the just and the unjust;" that the resurrection of the just will precede the resurrection of the unjust; that the first will take place at the beginning, and the second at the end of the millennium. -26. She believes in the creation of new heavens and a new earth. 27. She believes in the immortality of the soul; in a universal and eternal judg- ment; and in future and everlasting rewards and punishments. DISCIPLES OF CHRIST, OR CHRISTIANS. This denomination, whose members prefer to be known by the primitive appella- tion of Disciples of Christ, or by that of Christians, but who are variously designated as Baptists, Reformed Baptists, Reformers, Campbeliites, &c, had its rise in an effort, in the early part of the present century, to effect a union of the pious of all parties, by the ties of common Christianity - This was at first proposed by Thomas Campbell, long a minister in the '•Seces- sion" branch of the Presbyterian Church, in the north of Ireland, and characterised by his love for the Bible and godly men of all denominations, and who had visited the United States for his health and with a view to a permanent location. For nearly three years, he supplied with ministerial labor the destitute churches of the Seceder connection in "Western Pennsylvania, during which period he experienced much opposition and persecution from some of the ministers of his denomination, in consequence of the liberality of his religious views, and was at one time arraigned before the ecclesiastical tribunal under a charge of favoring a communion with other sects. Shortly after, Mr. Campbell's family left Ireland, under the protection of his eldest son, Alexander, and arrived in Washington county, Pennsylvania, where they took up their residence, and where Mr. C. continued his ministerial labors. Continually deploring the divided and distracted condition of the religious world, he at length decided to make a public effort for a restoration of the original unity of the church. In this he was joined by his son. Alexander, whose religious views had become much liberalised and extended by an intimacy with the Independents in Glas- gow, in Scotland, where he had just completed his studies: and an attempt was made, in the first instance, to obtain the co-operation of the ministers and people with whom ' he stood associated. ''The great fundamental point" urged in behalf of this measure, says Prof. Rich- ardson, of Virginia, "was, that, in order to Christian union, and the full influence of the GospeL it was absolutely necessary that the Bible alone should be taken as the authorised bond of union, and the infallible rule of faith and practice. In other words, that the revelations of God should be made to displace all human creeds, con- fessions of faith and formularies of doctrine and church government, as being not AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD; 43 only unnecessary but really a means of perpetuating disunion. Containing indeed much truth, and embracing for the most part the great leading facts and doctrines of Christianity, each one, it was argued, superadded, unfortunately, its own peculiar theory of religion, and blended with the Christianity common to all, speculative opin- ions respecting matters not revealed, which, nevertheless, were, in these theological systems, exalted to an equal authority with the undoubted facts of the gospel. These conflicting opinions, uncertain for want of clear scriptural evidence, were, whether true or false, unimportant in themselves, as contrasted with the great truths of Holy Writ; and, as derived from human reason, and being the offspring of human weak- ness, were regarded as constituting essentially human religion, and as being there- fore wholly devoid of any regenerating or saving efficacy. It was conceived to have been a small matter that the Lutheran Reformation should have freed the church from the religion of the priest, if she persisted in substituting for it the religion of men, rather than the religion of God, as God himself had given it. * * * It was therefore proposed that all human creeds, (as being incomplete if they contained any thing less than the Bible ; and unworthy of credit, if they contained any thing more upon the subject of religion, and in either case as highly injurious ;) should be indiscrimi- nately repudiated by the churches, and that the Bible itself, and more especially the New Testament, as containing the clear developement of the religion of Christ, should be, as was undeniably the case, in primitive ages, the creed, the confession, and the guide of all. The plea that human creeds and discipline were necessary to preserve purity of doctrine and government in the church, was totally rejected, as disproved by the well known fact that they had failed to do this, and also as an imputation upon the divine goodness and wisdom, implying that God was unwilling to give a sufficient revelation, and left something for men to supply ; or that men could express the truths revealed, in better words, and in expressions less liable to misconstruction than those selected by the Holy Spirit. It was insisted that the Scriptures, inter- preted in conformity with the fixed laws of language, could convey but the same ideas to all unbiassed minds respecting every thing necessary to salvation : and that, if, perchance, difference of sentiment should arise, respecting minor and incidental matters, these inferences or opinions were to be distinguished from faith, and were neither to be made a term of communion, nor imposed by one Christian upon an- other. Or, to express the whole, in the language of Thomas Campbell, 'Nothing was to be received as a matter of faith or duty, for which there could not be pro- duced a thus saith the Lord, either in express terms, or by approved Scripture prece- dent.' " This overture for a religious reformation being rejected by the Seceders as a body, but embraced by some members, an application was made to the pious of all denomi- nations in the vicinity, and a declaration and address drawn up and printed, in which all were invited to form a union upon the principles above stated. A considerable number of individuals responded, and a congregation was organised at Brush Run, in Washington county, September 10th, 1810, where a house of worship was erected, and ministerial duties were performed conjointly by Mr. Thomas Campbell and his son Alexander, who had been duly ordained pastors of the church. Becoming, ere long, persuaded that immersion was the only true form of baptism, the little chnrch, with their pastors, were immersed by Elder Luse, of the Baptist community, on the 12th June, 1812. This event proved important, for it was eventu- ally the means of bringing the society Into the Baptist Church. For, although averse to a combination with any religious denomination as such, they deemed the princi- ples of the Baptists favorable to reformation and religious freedom, and believed that as they had it in their power to procure their own independence as a church, a con- nection with the Baptists would afford them a more extended field of usefulness. Accordingly in the autumn of 1813. they were received into Redstone Baptist Associa- 44 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. tion, carefully stipulating in writing, that " No terms of union or communion other than the Holy Scriptures should be required." " The novelty of these simple views, which Alexander Campbell, as messenger of the church of Brush Run, urged upon the association, excited considerable stir in that body. But, ere long, a jealousy, on the part of some leadinn members, of his increasing popularity and commanding talents, led them to inveigh against his prin» ciples, and finally created so much disunion in the association and animosity toward,' the church of Brush Run, that the latter, to avoid its effects, dismissed about thirt members, including Alexander Campbell, to "Wellsburg, Va., where they were con - stituted as a new church, and, upon application, were admitted into the Mahoning Association of Ohio, with some of whose members they had already formed a favor- able intimacy. This body proved more liberal in its views, and the reformers were pleased to find in it not only liberality of feeling, but a disposition to follow implicitly the dictates of the Scriptures. Meetings of preachers were held to consider and investigate the ancient and apostolic order of things; and, at length, nearly the whole association came by degrees into the views presented ; so that, in 1828, it rejected finally all human formularies of religion, and relinquished all claim to juris- diction over the churches, resolving itself into a simple annual meeting for the pur- pose of receiving reports of the progress of the churches, for worship, and mutual co- operation in the spread of the gospel. " The influence of so large a number of churches, embracing a considerable portion of the Western Reserve, with several able preachers, necessarily gave great exten- sion to the principles advocated by Mr. Campbell. In a short time, however, the abandonment of usages long cherished by the Baptists, and the introduction of views and practices not commonly received by them, gave rise to so much umbrage and opposition on the part of the adjoining churches, that they denounced as heretical and excluded from fellowship, all churches that favored the views of the reformers. The schism soon extended to Kentucky, to eastern Virginia, and to all the Baptist churches and associations into which the views of Mr. Campbell had extended ; the Baptists in all cases separating from their communion all favoring the sentiments of the Disciples, who, on being thus cut off, formed themselves everywhere into distinct churches, independent of each other's control, but holding the same sentiments, hav- oig the same fellowship, and continuing to carry out the great principles originally orofessed, exhorting all men to return to the Bible alone, and, in the language of Thomas Campbell, to co-operate together for ' the restoration of primitive, apostolic Christianity, in letter and spirit, in principle and practice.' " After the separation, prejudices began to subside and misapprehensions to be jorrected, on the part of the Baptists, many of whom came over, from time to time, to the ranks of the Disciples, while many others were admitted to fellowship with the latter without being excluded from communion with their Baptist brethren. In- deed, many of the Baptist clergy, as the objects of the Disciples became better under- stood, came to approve them ; and even to a certain extent to adopt their sentiments. ♦3o great has been the approximation, that the most friendly feelings now almo<' everywhere exist between ihe Disciples and the Baptists. f •■ Meanwhile the Disciples have rapidly increased in number, not by these acees sions from other denominations so much, as by a general diffusion of their principle! amongst all parties, and especially by an almost unprecedented success in the con- version of those who had not as yet embraced any of the religious systems of the day. Many have come over from the Presbyterians: some from the Episcopalians and from the Lutherans ; but more, both of preachers and peo- ple, from the Methodists. A few Universalists have united with them, renounc- ing their own distinguishing tenets; some Roman Catholics also; some Tunkers; English and Scotch Baptists, and Independents. Indeed, some from almost every AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 4§ fft^1i)iIcirieens0UnCed theh* COnflicting °Pinions> and adopted the faith and doctrine "Many of the writings of Mr. Campbell and his fellow-laborers, have been repub- ished in England where the Disciples are becoming numerous.

These are prayer and praise; teaching and exhortation; the Lord's sunner ana the contribution for the poor, in accordance with Acts xi 42 ' Baptism.— They believe immersion to be the only Scriptural mode of Baptism as necessary to the privileges of the kingdom of the Messiah, and as a solemn pledge on the part of heaven of the actual remission of all past sins, and of adoption into the family of God. Every one who sincerely believes the testimony which God save of Jesus of Nazareth, " This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased •" or in other words, believes what the evangelists and apostles have testified concerning him from his conception to his coronation in heaven as Lord of all, and who is willing to obey him in every thing, they regard as a proper subject of immersion and no one else. ' The Scriptures— Of both Testaments they regard as containing revelations from God and as all necessary to make the man of God perfect and accomplished for every , good word and work. The New Testament, or the living oracles of Jesus Christ says Mr. Campbell, they understand as containing the Christian religion The tes- timonials of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, they view as illustrating and proving the great proposition on which our religion rests, viz. : that Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah, the only begotten and well beloved Son of God, and the only Saviour of the world. The acts of the Apostles, as a divinely-authorized narrative of the beginning and progress of the reign or kingdom of Jesus Christ, recording the full developement of the Holy Spirit, sent down from heaven, and the procedure of the Apostles in setting up the church of Christ on earth ; the Epistles, as carrying out and applying the doctrines of the Apostles to the practice of individuals and congregations and as 46 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. developing the tendencies of the Gospel in the behavior of its professors ; and all as forming a complete standard of Christian faith and morals, adapted to the interval between the ascension of Christ, and his return with the kingdom which he has re- ceived from God ; the Apocalypse, or Revelation of Jesus Christ to John, in Patmos, as a figurative and prospective view of all the fortunes of Christianity, from its date to the return of the Saviour. The Disciples have no confession of faith, as such, other than the Holy Scriptures. Their literary institutions are numerous, and sustained with liberality. Besides many semiuaries of learning, they have several well endowed colleges, one of which, at Bethany, Va., being designed for the education of the whole man, physical, moral, and intellectual, ranks, in character and number of students, with the oldest institu- tions in the country. They have some 2,000 Churches, 2,000 Ordained Ministers, and about 350,000 Members, principally in the Middle, South-western, and Western States. GERMAN BAPTISTS, OR BRETHREN. This small body of Christians had their rise in 1708, at Schwartzenau, in Germany. The first members were Alexander Mack and wife, John Kjssin and wife, George Grevy, Andreas Biiony, Lucas Fetter, and Joanna Nethigum. Being neighbors, they agreed to hold meetings at each other's houses, to read the Bible, and edify one another. In these meetings, males and females took part. Becoming convinced that immersion was the apostolic and only proper form of baptism, they desired to become baptised, and requested Alexander Mack to perform the rite. But the latter de- clined, not believing himself to have been indeed baptised. They then cast lots for the administrator, and were baptised in the river Eder, when they formed themselves into a church, choosing Alexander Mack for their miuister. They increased rapidly, and extended to Marienbom, under the ministry of John Naas. and to Epstein, under the pastoral charge of Christian Levy. Misrepresentation, ridicule, and per- secution, ere long, drove them from the latter places to Holland and Crefelt, and their friends of the mother church shortly removing from Schwartzenau to Serustervin, in Friesland, and thence, in 1719, to Pennsylvania, in America, they followed them, landing at Philadelphia in the fall of 1729. The Brethren settled, some at Germantown, a few at Skippack, others at Oley, and still others at Conestoga, in all of which places they formed religious societies, which, in process of time, had their influence upon the surrounding inhabitants. They are now dispersed, more or less, through every State in the Union, but are most numerous in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio, and Indiana. It is diffi- cult to arrive at their real number, as the)' keep no exact account of their churche', or communicants. They have no publicly admitted confession of faith other than the Scriptures. The general order, where the congregations are small, is to hold their meetings at private houses ; where the congregations are large, to erect places expressly for wor- ship. Some of the latter are very large, and without a gallery or pulpit. Every brother is allowed to stand up and speak in exposition and exhortation. When one of these is found to possess an aptitude for teaching, he is chosen for a minister, and ordained with laying on of hands, fasting, prayer, and the right hand of fellowship. AMERICAN' CHRISTIAN RECORD. 4t Ministers are paid no fixed salary, but are supported by presents, according to the ability and disposition of the giver. Each congregation has from two to three preachers, and some even more. In traveling and preaching, there are in general two together, and very frequently one addresses the assembly in German, and the other in English. Their Officers are bishops (or ministers), elders, teachers, and deacons (or visiting b ethren). They also have deaconesses, aged women, who are allowed t.o exercise tieir gifts statedly. Bishops are chosen from the teachers, after they have been fully tried and found faithful. It is their duty to travel from one congregation to another, to preach, to officiate at marriages, and funerals, to set in order whatever may be wanting, to be present at love feasts and communions, when a bishop is to be ordained, when teachers or deacons are chosen or elected, and when any officer is to be excommu- nicated. An elder is the first 'or eldest chosen teacher in a congregation where there is no bishop. It is his duty to appoint meetings, to assist in excommunication, to exhort and preach, to baptise, to travel occasionally, and, where no bishop is present, to perforin all the duties of the latter. Teachers are chosen by vote. It is their duty to exhort and preach at any of their stated meetings, and when so requested by a bishop or elder, to perform the cere- monies of matrimony and of baptism. It is the duty of deacons to keep a constant oversight of poor widows and their children, and give them such aid from time to time as may be necessary ; to visit all the families in the congregation, at least once a year, and exhort, comfort, and edify them, as well as reconcile all offences and misunderstandings that may occur from time to time ; and, when ueeessary, to read the scriptures, pray and exhort, at the regular meetings. The brethren have an annual meeting of their bishops, teachers and other mem- bers who may be sent as representatives from the various congregations. At this meeting a committee of five (usually of the eldest bishops present) is chosen, to hear and receive such cases as may be brought before them by the representatives of the different congregations, which are afterwards discussed and decided, and then re- corded and printed in German and English, and sent to the teachers of the different co- ..jregations in the United States, who, on receiving them, or as soon as convenient, r act them to the rest of the brethren, by which course they preserve a unity of sen- timent and opinion throughout all their congregations. Principles. — They dress with unusual plainness: will not take an oath, nor fight; keep the first day as the Sabbath ; will suffer loss rather than go to law ; are care- ful of one another's reputation and feelings; lend at less than lawful interest to the poor; are industrious, frugal, sober, temperate, kind, charitable, sociable and genial; attentive and liberal to the poor ; constant in attendance upon private and public worship ; cling with unyielding, faith to the Holy Scriptures, which they revere as the true Word of Gud, and which they read daily ; and though they hesitate not, in preaching and exhortation, to proclaim God's threatenings and judgments against the v icked, yet, in accordance with their leading principles of Love and Good Will, they p'efer to speak of His love and goodness, and to cultivate faith, concord and love. They are variously called in derision, by their enemies, Tankers, from " tunken," to sop or dip a morsel in sauce, and Tumblers t from the manner in which they per- form baptism. Usages. — In baptism they use the trine baptism, with prayer, laying on of hands, and immersion, the convert kneeling, in which position he is plunged head forward under water, resembling the motion of the body in the act of tumbling : hence one of the nicknames applied to them by the thoughtless and unfriendly. 48 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. They celebrate the Lord's Supper in the primitive manner, that is. with a love- feast, the washing of feet, the kiss of charity, and the right hand of fellowship. They anoint the sick with oil, for recovery. They make religion cheerful, pleasant and genial, and whatever they believe their Savior commands they practice, without inquiring or regarding what others do. Their literature is limited. Their churches number about 160 ; their ordained ministers about 250, and their members 8700. Though they have no admitted rule of faith, other than the Scriptures, their belief may be easily summed up in the following, from one of their ablest preachers : DOCTRINE. 1. That God the Father and the Maker of heaven and earth is no respecter of persons; but that in every nation he that feareth Him and worketh righteousness, is accepted of Him. 2. That God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoso- ever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 3. That God sent his Son into the world to seek and to save that which was lost. 4. That He is able to save to the uttermost all that come unto God through the crucified Redeemer, who tasted death for every man, and was manifested to destroy the works of the devil. 5. That all who believe in Christ, love God, and serve Him, doing His will in faith and righteousness, will attain salvation. 6. That they who live and die impenitent and in sin, will have their reward eter- nally with the devil and his angels. RIVER BRETHREN. This denomination, which had its rise during the revolutionary war, in faith and practice is so like that of the German Baptists, or Brethren, that, excepting a few particulars, a description of one is a description of the other. Several societies in Lancaster County, Pa., were organized about the same time ; one near the Susque- hanna River, another on Conestoga Creek. By way of local distinction, the latter were called the Conestoga Brethren ; those on or near the Susquehanna, the River Brethren, an appellation by which the organization is now generally known, to dis- tinguish its members from the German Baptists or Brethren. Among the several German denominations on the Susquehanna, especially among the Mennonites, at that time the most numerous society in Lancaster County, awaken- ings were quite common. In the infancy of the River Brethren, a few awakened Mennonites, Lutherans, German Baptists, and German Reformed Brethren, whoso hearts were closely joined together, and had a common interest both in the cause of general religion and in one another's individual welfare, met, as a social, devout band, from house to house, to make prayer and supplication for the continued influ- ence of God's Spirit. Out of these social circles was organized the association of the River Brethren. From the day of the great awakening in 1733-1740, a great change in religious feeling and reflection had come over society, which was further deepened by the extraordinary revivals in 1744, 1757, and 1772; and out of this change camej with. AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. exceeding prominence, the practical idea of the New-Birth — the doctrine that, in order to be saved, a man must undergo a change in his feelings and principles of moral action, which will be either accompanied or succeeded by exercises of which he is conscious, and can give no account ; so that those who have been thus changed, may ordinarily be distinguished from those who have not. This idea took a deep hold of the early River Brethren, and entered so extensively into their religious views, as to become, with them, a prominent feature. It neces- sitated a deep concern in their own and their neighbors' spiritual welfare, and into their Christianity infused a life and activity which, ere long, drew over to them many ministers and laymen of all denominations. Among their first ministers were Jacob Engkel, Hans Excel, and C. Rupp. Soon after the formal organization of churches in Pennsylvania, Jacob Excel visited Canada, and at a later period, Ohio, to estab- lish societies. The denomination has since grown, and societies now exist in Bucks, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster, Westmoreland, York, and other counties in Pennsyl- vania, and in several parts of Ohio, Indiana, and Canada West. They recognize three orders of officers, bishops (ministers), elders, and deacons, who are chosen as are those of the Brethren, and whose duties also correspond. Their clergymen receive no salary nor pecuniary remuneration for ministerial ser- vices. In some instances, when the circumstances of the case call for it, the expenses of the pastor are met by voluntary contributions. Their ministers, in general, though not educated in the modern sense, are devoted, laborious, useful, and self-denying. Usages. — They reject infant baptism, baptising only believing adults. Like the Brethren, they perform Baptism by trine immersion. Their church ordinances are Baptism, Feet Washing, the Lord's Supper, and the Communion. They wear their beards unshorn. They reduce to practice, in respect to diversity of sentiment, on minor points of re- ligion, what good sense every where enjoins upon good men — forbearance. They have no confession of faith other than the Scriptures. Their ministers officiate usually, though not exclusively, in the German language. They invite all Christians to the Lord's table. An Annual Conference is held in the Spring, at Easton, Pa,, and a month or two later, one in Canada West, in which bishops, elders, deacons, and laymen take part. All their meetings on church business, and for worship, except in a few places, are held in dwelling-houses, and, if the season admits, in barns, fitted up with seats. This is not so much for economy (for, though a prudent, they are not a parsimonious people), as for an example in that modest humility taught by the Divine Master, whose precepts they love to practice as to hold them in their hearts. Like the Brethren, they will not take oaths, nor have any part in war. They have no literature, as such. As near as can be learned, for they keep no records, printed or written, of their ecclesiastical affairs, they count about 80 churches, 65 ministers, and 7,000 members. GERMAN SEVENTH-DAY BAPTISTS. About 1694, the Protestant Associations of Germany were much agitated by cer- tain conscientious men to remove many abuses and errors that had crept into the church. This agitation led to a general and careful reading of the Scriptures by the 4 50 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. people, to learn what they really did contain in doctrine; among others, by Alexan- der Mack, and the small devoted band that originated the German Baptists, or Brethren. Meeting with persecution as they grew into importance, at the hands of the popular church, they finally emigrated to America, and settled in various parts of Pennsylvania, a small portion of them at Mill Creek, in Lancaster county, where they immediately established a church. Of this community was one Conrad Bussell, who had been a Presbyterian, and fled from the persecutions which at that time were the lot of all who dared to have an individual opinion different from the doc- trines of the established church. A close and conscientious Bible reader, he conceived that the seventh was the only Sabbath day established and sanctified by the Lord, and felt it to be his duty to contend for its observance as such. In 1725, he pub- lished a tract upon the subject, which created much excitement at Mill Creek, and brought upon him so much persecution that he secretly retired to a cell on the banks of the Cocalico. in the same county, which had previously been occupied by a hermit named Elimelech. Whither he had gone remained long unknown to the inhabitants of Mill Creek, many of whom had in the interim embraced his view of the Sabbath, and. on discoveriug his retreat, these settled around him, in solitary cottages, and adopted the seventh day for the Sabbath. In 1732, the solitary life was changed into a conventicle one, and a monastic society was established as soon as the first building erected for the purpose was finished. The brethren wore a shirt, trousers, and vest, with a long white gown and cowl ; the sisters, the usual female under garments, and a like gown and cowl. In 17-40, they numbered thirty-six single brethren, and thirty-five sisters. The commu- nity was a republic, in which all stood upon a perfect equality. No monastic vows were taken, nor had they any written covenant. The New Testament, in the words of their ablest historian, Yvni. M. Fahnstock, was their confession of faith, their code of laws, and their church discipline. The property of the society was common stock ; but none were obliged to throw in their property nor to give up their possessions. Besides the brethren in the cloister, the community numbered many families dwelling around them in separate cottages. The society was at first very poor, and the mem- bers were compelled to practice the utmost self-denial, and subsist as best they could — a fact taken advantage of by the unfriendty to scatter ridiculous reports charging them with living upon roots and vegetables, sleeping upon wooden benches, and with small wooden blocks for pillows, for the purposes of penance. Their circumstances were restricted, and it was imperative upon them to study the strictest economy. As the community advanced, they were supported by the income of their agricultural products, their grist, oil, fulling, and paper mills, and the labor of the brethren and sisters in the cloister. "With improvement in their means came improvement in their comforts ; though they have ever studied simplicity, temperance, and frugality. Besides the above original society at Ephrata, a branch was established, in 1758, at Bermudian Creek, in York county; another in 17 Go, in Bedford county, which still flourishes, and many members are scattered through the state. Snow Hill, their present principal settlement, is highly prosperous, and on the activity, energy, and piety of its members, great hopes are predicated by the denomination, which still continues to meet with much persecution from sectarian neighbors, on account of its seventh-day and other views. This body has throughout been unjustly represented and persecuted by other sects, who, while insisting loudly upon religious freedom for themselves, are unwilling practically to accord it to others. The Literature of the Seventh-Day Baptists is extensive; but consisting principally of hymns and anthems, many of which arc very elegant and beautiful, and princi- pally the composition of their founder, himself a. fine writer and musician; and of several able doctrinal tracts and more extensive publications. Some of their music, AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 51 peculiar to themselves, is exceedingly grand and solemn, and thought by many fully to equal, if not certainly surpass, in tenderness, grandeur, and richness, the finest and stateliest of that of famed St. Peter's. Usages.— They pay no salary to their ministers, believing that the Gospel was sent without money and without price, and that every one called to preach should do it solely from love to God and men. Individual members give presents, in money and goods, what they see fit; and when a needy minister travels, for religious purposes his expenses are supplied out of the general treasury. The order of worship is as follows: 1. A Hymn; 2. Prayer (nil kneeling- 3 The reading at the request of the minister, of a chapter in the Scriptures, by any one of the brethren who may use his own judgment in the selection , 4. Exposition of the chapter by the minister; 5. Enforcement upon the congregation of the duties spoken of in the chapter, by exhorters, male and female; G. Prayer and singing and 1 The reading of a Psalm, in place of the usual benediction. They invite to the Lord's table all wiio profess to love their Divine Master with- out assuming to judge who is worthy or unwortl^. _ They celebrate the Lord's Supper at night, after the close of the Sabbath which in their view, terminates at sunset. The rite is attended by washing of feet ' They recognize two orders of officers— ministers, deacons. All who have speaking gifts may exhort. r ° Trine-immersion is their form of baptism. While confining this ordinance to adult -.-.dren of believing parents are publicly received into the care of the church by the ikying on of hands. ' J They do not wear long beards, as is said of them by the unfriendly, nor practice penances, for mortifying the flesh, nor renounce matrimony on entering the society Celibacy they consider a virtue, but do not require it, nor take any vows in refer- ence to it. On the contrary, when a couple desire to marry, they are pecuniarilv aided, when necessary, by the society. Though opposed to war, as unchristian, yet, in the Revolution, they took a decided stand on the side of the patriots. Peace-loving, and desiring to set an example of forbearance and christian meek- ness they long endured wrong and plunder at the hands of neighbors and enemies but have been, from time to time, compelled to resort to courts of justice for protec- tion and redress. F As a people they are modest, intelligent, law-abiding, simple, frugal, industrious, courteous and hospitable, and remarkable for their honesty, their Snobtrusiveness and a careful regard for their word. They number about 187 ministers, and 1800 members They recognise no rule of faith but the Holy Scriptures. They admit no license with the letter or the spirit of the Bible, and will not allow one jot or tittle to be added or rejected in the administration of the ordinances. GENERAL BELIEF. , . 1\ Th1e^ believ,e that "a11 Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profita ole lor doctrine, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of Go(V may be perfect, and thoroughly furnished unto all good works " 2 They believe in the divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Trinity of the Godhead There are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word and +?°iy a °St: a?d theSe three are one' And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, the water and the blood: and these three agree in one " 3. They believe that salvation is of grace, and not of works, and thev rely solely oh the merits and atonement of Christ ^ 52 AMERICAN' CHRISTIAN' RECORD. 4. They believe that Christ's atonement is sufficient for every creature; that Christ died for all who will call upon his name, and offer fruits .meet for repentance ; and that all who come to Christ, are drawn of the Father. 5. They believe the seventh to be the original and only Sabbath day directed and sanctified by the Lord, who has never abrogated nor changed it, hy nny warrant or edict to be found in His word. 6. The believe in the apostolic form of baptism. 7. They disclaim the right of withholding the sacrament of the Lord's Supper from any disciple professing to love the Lord Jesus, and claiming the privilege, as a fol- lower of the crucified Redeemer, by presenting himself at the table, without assum- ing to judge who is worthy and who unworthy; but adhere to the words of Paul — " Let a man examine for himself, and so let him eat of that bread and drink of that cup;" and, "Therefore, judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the coun- sels of the hearts, and then shall every man have praise of God. 8. They believe in the happiness of the righteous, and the punishment of the wicked. But they do not bold that Adam's fall condemns indiscriminately all born souls, believing that many die without sinning — infants, for example; but they think and teach that in Adam's fall, all disposition to good and holiness was lost, and that the whole race inherit a natural innate depravity, which will lead them to sin, and prove their sure condemnation, unless they repent, and are born again of the Holy Spirit. CHRISTIAN' CONNEXION. This body of Christians owe their existence to a combination of circumstances, not to the efforts of any one man. They rose nearly simultaneously iu different sections of the country, without any preconcerted plan or even knowledge of each other's movements. After a few years, they learned of each other's existence, as Christian bodies, and upon correspondence were agreeably surprised to discover that all had embraced nearly the same principles, and had in view the same system of reform: a coincidence which leads them to believe they are a people raised up under the im- mediate direction of God, and the ground they have assumed as one that will finally absorb all party distinctions in the church. After the Revolution, the Methodists, who had previously been dependent on the Church of England for the administration of ordinances, and who, together with the country, were then left free to transact their own affairs, set about establishing an episcopal form of church government. To this, many of the preachers, imbued with the free spirit of the times, strenuously objected, pleading for a congregational form and for the New Testament as their creed and discipline. But the great body of the church being against them, they seceded, at Mauakin Town, N. G. December 25th, 1793, and took the name of Republican Methodists, which, however, they relin- quished at a subsequent conference and assumed the simple appellation of Christians, determined thenceforth to know no head but Christ, and no creed or discipline but the Bible. Xear the close of the eighteenth century, Dr.- Mmer Jones, of Hartland, Vermont, of the regular Baptist Church, disturbed by sectarian names and human creeds, as so many walls of separation between the people of God, and satisfied that they ought to be abandoned, and true piety alone be made the- only test of Christian fellowship and AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECOKD. 53 communion, commenced advocating with zeal his sentiments, which ere lone found sympathisers and supporters, and in September, 1800 he had alynftj faction of gathering a church of twenty-five embracing these principles In 1802 £ established a second church, witb>similar views, at Bmdford,Cth^ in March, 1803, yet another, at Piermont, N H.

They have, also, several other journals (see Religious Journals of the U. S.), edited, for the most part, with an intelligence fully up to the age. _ _ ,..•■«. They have several institutions of learning (see Colleges and Seminaries of the J. S ) and an interest in the free Theological School at Meadville, Pa. Their ministers mostly preach extempore, but rarely without having previously given the subject due study and reflection. As a denomination, they are strong, numbering about 2,200 ministers, 2,200 churches, and 180,000 communicants. GENERAL CREED. 1. That God, the source and fountain of all good, is the rightful arbiter of the uni- 2. That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, and existed with the Father before all worlds. . 3 That the Holy Ghost is that divine unction with which our Saviour was anointed ; the effusion that was poured out on the day of Pentecost ; and a divine emanation of God, by which be exerts an energy or influence on rational minds. 4. That the Holy Scriptures were given of inspiration of God. 5 That all men have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. 6. That with God there is forgiveness ; but that sincere repentance and reforma- tion are indispensable to the forgiveness of sins. _ I. That man is constituted a free moral agent, and made capable of obeying the gospel. , . c 8. That, through the agency of the Holy Spirit, souls, in the use ol means, are converted, regenerated, and made new creatures. 9. That Christ was delivered for our offences, and raised again for our justification ; that through his example, doctrine, death, resurrection, and intercession, he has made salvation possible to every one, and is the only Saviour of lost sinners. 10. That baptism and the Lord's Supper are ordinances to be observed by all true believers ; and that baptism is the immersing of the candidate in water, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

ROMAN CATHOLICS. The Roman Catholics date their early history in the United States with the found- ing of the first settlement in Maryland, under Governor Leonard Calvert, brother of Lord Baltimore. This body of emigrants, consisting of about 200 gentlemen of re- spectability and fortune, chiefly Roman Catholics, with numerous inferior adherents, landed in Maryland, near the mouth of the Potomac, in the beginning of 1633. On disembarking, the governor erected a cross on the shore and took possession of the country for ?our Saviour and our sovereign lord the King of England.' The Indians AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORt). S5 treated the colonists with much sullenness, at first; but the liberality and courtesy of the governor at length conciliated their regard, to whom they ceded an extensive tract of territory, including an Indian town, which the settlers proceeded immediately to occupy, and to which they gave the name of St. Mary's. The Indians not disturbing the colonists, lord Baltimore persuaded others to follow them, assigning to every emigrant fifty acres in fee simple, furnishing them with a year's stores, paying their passage out, and, as a further inducement to the hesitating, pledging his word, as proprietor, that religious toleration should prevail. The latter had weight, and emigrants of all religious denominations left Europe for the new colony in large numbers.* Unhappily, however, the doubtless noble intention of lord Baltimore, in respect to religious harmony and freedom, obtained only for a time. The elements of discord were in the colonists themselves. But it is not in our pro- vince to enter further into the experience of the founders of Maryland, nor into the political history of the colonists of that State. "We must however, in justice, add, that the Assembly of Maryland, composed mainly of Roman Catholics, in the memo- rable 'Act concerning Religion,' was the first in the colonies of that day to establish religious toleration by law. The denomination is untiring in its energies for the spread of its doctrine, which claims to be that of the only pure and apostolic church. Its order of officers is as follows: 1. Archbishops; 'A. Bishops; 3. Coadjutors, or assistant bishops; 4. Priests; 5. Deacons. The church is very extensively diffused, and divided into dioceses, over each of which presides a bishop, who holds authority over all the churches and priests in the same. The church property of each diocese is held by the bishop in trust for Ms succes- sors in office. Priests to each church -are appointed by the bishop of the diocese, to whom alone they are responsible. The bishop is, in his turn, responsible to the archbishop, and the archbishop to the pope. Tlie literature of the denomination is extensive. Besides several able weekly jour- nals and other periodicals, its contributions to the various departments of literature are numerous, continuous, and marked in the main by an ability at least as high as that of any of its cotemporaries. Its educational institutions are large in number, and adapted to all the wants and tastes of its people. Beside numerous colleges, ecclesiastical seminaries, and male and female academies, it has a large number of schools under well-trained teachers, specially self- consecrated to the calling, who carefully instil into the mind of the young the princi- ples of the Roman Catholic faith side by side with secular studies. In addition to these are several convents, each of which has an academy for ornamental education, and where the studies, conducted by teachers selected for the superiority of their de- meanor, are singularly adapted to the cultivation of the external graces, and to fasci- nating and gradually overawing the mind. One peculiarity in the educational insti- tutions of this sect is, that the teachers are specially trained, and selected to their posts for their zeal, their finish as scholars, and the superiority of their address. Celibacy is regarded as a virtue in its ministers, who, on taking the vows of their order, devote themselves exclusively to Christ, and pledge themselves to a life of singleness, that they may be wholly free to serve the interests of his cause. Friaries, though not yet numerous in the United States, are beginning to be in- troduced. The peculiarities in the doctrines of the denomination will be seen in the annexed summary, copied from one of its manuals : 66 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. SUMMARY OF CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE. "WHAT EVERY CHRISTIAN MUST BELIEVE. 1. Every Christian must believe that there is one God, and no more than one God: that this God is a pure Spirit, the Lord and Maker of heaven and earth, who has neither beginning nor end, but is always the same; is everywhere present; knows and sees all things ; can do all things whatsoever he pleases ; and is infinite in all perfections. 2. Every Christian is bound to believe, that in this one God there are three dis- tinct persons, perfectly equal, and of the same substance ; the Father, who proceeds from no one ; the Son, who is born of the Father, before all ages ; and the Holy Ghost, who proceeds eternally from the Father and the Son : and that these three persons have all the same intelligence, the same power, the same wisdom, and are all three one and the same Lord, one and the same God. 3. We must also believe, that this God created the angels to be with him for ever ; and that one part of them fell from God by sin. and became devils: that God also created Adam and Eve, the first parents of all mankind, and placed them in the earthly paradise, from whence they were justly banished, for the sin they committed in eating of the fruit of the forbidden tree; and that by this transgression of Adam, we are all born in sin, and must have been lost for ever, if God had not sent us a Saviour. 4. "We are bound to believe in this Saviour of all mankind, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, true God, and true man ; perfect God from all eternity, equal to his Father in all tilings ; and perfect man, from the time of his coming down from heaven for us, having a body and soul like us. 5. We must believe, that this Jesus Christ, our Saviour, who had been long fore- told by the prophets, was, at God's appointed time, conceived in the womb of the Virgin Mary, by the power of the Holy Ghost, without having any man for his lather, and was born of her, she still remaining a pure virgin ; that during the time of his mortal life he founded the Christian religion, by his heavenly doctrine, and wonder- fid miracles, and then offered himself a sacrifice for the sins of the whole world, by dying upon a cross to purchase mercy, grace, and salvation for us, and that neither mercy, nor grace, nor salvation, ever could, since Adam's fall, be obtained any other- wise, than through this death and passion of the Son of God. G. "We must believe, that Jesus Christ, after he had been dead, rose again on the third day from death to life, never to die any more ; and that, for the space of forty days, he was pleased, at different times, to manifest himself to his disciples, and then ascended into heaven in their sight; where, as man, he continually intercedes for us. From thence he sent down the Holy Ghost upon his disciples, to abide with them for ever, as he had promised, and to guide them and their successors into all truth. 7. We must believe the CatJwlic or universal Church, of which Christ is the per- petual head, and his Spirit the perpetual director; which is founded upon a rock, and is ever victorious over all the powers of death and hell. This Church is always one, because all its members profess one faith, live in one communion, under one chief pastor, the successor of St. Peter, to whom Christ committed the whole flock, St. John, xxi. 15, 1G, 17. This same Church is always holy, by teaching a holy doctrine, by inviting all to a holy life, and by the eminent holiness of many of her children. She is Catholic, or universal, by subsisting in all ages, by teaching all nations, and AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD 51 maintaining all truths : she is Apostolical, by deriving her doctrine, her communion, her orders, and her mission, by an uninterrupted succession, from the apostles of Christ. 8. With this Catholic church the scriptures both of the Old and New Testament were deposited by the apostles. She is, in her pastors, the guardian and interpreter of them. These scriptures, thus interpreted, together with the traditions of the apostles, are to be received and admitted by all Christians for the rule of their faith and practice. 9. We must believe, that Jesus Christ has instituted in his church seven sacra- ments, or mysterious signs, and instrumental causes of divine grace in our souls. Baptism, by way of a new birth, by which we are made children of God, and washed from sin. Confirmation, by which we receive the Holy Ghost by the imposition of the hands of the successors of the apostles, Acts viii. The blessed Eucharist, which feeds and nourishes our souls with the body and blood of Christ, really present, under the forms of bread and wine, or under either of them. Penance, by which penitent sinners are absolved from their sins, by virtue of the commission given by Christ to his ministers, St. John xx, and St. Matthew xviii. Extreme unction, which effaces the remaining stains of sin, and arms the soul with the grace of God in the time of sickness, St. James v. Holy Orders, by which the ministers of God are conse- crated. And Matrimony, which, as a sacred sign of the indissoluble union of Christ and his church, unites the married couple in a holy band, and imparts a grace to them, suitable to that state, Eph. v. 10. We must believe that Jesus Christ has also instituted the great eucharistical sacrifice of his body and blood, in remembrance of his death and passion. In this sacrifice he is mystically immolated every day upon our altars, being himself both priest and victim. This sacrifice is the principal worship of the new law, in which, and by which, we unite ourselves to Jesus Christ, and with him, and through him, we adore God in spirit and in truth, give him thanks for all his blessings, obtain his grace for ourselves and our neighbors, pardon for all our sins, and eternal rest for the faithful departed. 11. We must believe, that there is in the catholic or universal church of God, a communion of saints, by means of which we communicate with all holy persons, and in all holy things. We communicate with the saints in heaven, as our fellow-mem- bers under the same head, Jesus Christ ; we give thanks to God for his gifts to them ; and we beg a share in their prayers. We communicate with all the saints upon earth, in the same sacraments and sacrifice, and in a holy union of faith and charity. And we communicate with the faithful, who have departed this life in a more imperfect state, and who, by the law of God's justice, are for a while in a place of suffering, by offering prayers, alms, and sacrifice to God for them. 12. We must believe, also, the necessity of divine grace, without which we cannot make so much as one step towards heaven ; and that all our good, and all our merits are the gifts of God ; that Christ died for all men ; that God is not the author of sin ; and that his grace does not take away our free will. l?>. We must believe that Jesus Christ will come from heaven, at the last day, to judge us all; that all the dead, both good and bad, shall rise from their graves, at the sound of the last trumpet, and shall be judged by him according to their works, that the good will go to heaven with him, body and soul, to be happy for all eternity, in the enjoyment of the sovereign good, and that the wicked shall be condemned, both body and soul, to the torments of hell, which are most grievous and everlasting. WHAT EVERY CHRISTIAN MUST DO, IN ORDER TO OBTAIN LIFE EVERLASTING. 1. Every Christian, in order to obtain life everlasting, must worship God as hia 58 AMERICAN' CHRISTIAN' RECORD. first beginning and last end. This worship is to be performed, first by Faith, which makes both the understanding and the will humbly adore and embrace all those truths which God has taught, however obscure and incomprehensible they may be to our weakness. Secondly, by Hope, which relies on the infinite power, goodness, and mercy of God, and the truth of his promises : and upon these grounds the soul rises to an assured expectation of mercy, grace, and salvation, through the merits of Jesus Christ. Thirdly, by Charity, which teaches us to love God with our whole hearts, for his own sake, and our neighbor as ourselves, for God's sake. Fourthly, by the virtue of religion, the chief acts of which are adoration, praise, thanksgiving, oblation of ourselves to God, sacrifices, and prayer, which ought to be the daily employments of a Christian soul. 2. We must fly all idolatry, all false religion, and superstition ; under which names are comprehended all manner of divinations, or pretensions to fortune-telling ; all witchcraft, charms, spells, observations of omens, dreams, &c. All these things are heathenish, and contrary to the worship of the true and living God, and to that de- pendence a Christian soul ought to have on him. 3. We must reverence the name of God and his truth, by a religious observance of all lawful oaths and vows, and by carefully avoiding all false, rash, unjust, or blas- phemous oaths or curses. 4. "We must dedicate some notable part of our time to his divine service ; and more especially consecrate to him those days which he has ordered to be sanctified, or kept holy. 5. Under God, we must love, reverence, and obey our parents, and other lawful superiors, spiritual and temporal, and observe the laws of the church and state. We must have a due care of our children, and of others that are under our charge, both as to their soul and body. 6. We must abstain from all injuries to our neighbor's person, by murder or any other violence ; and from all hatred, envy, and desire of revenge ; also from spiritual murder, which is committed by drawing him into sin, by words, actions, or ill- example. 7. We must abstain from adultery, and from all uncleanness of thoughts, words, and actions, beyond the lawful use of marriage. 8. We must not steal, cheat, or any other way wrong our neighbor in his goods and possessions. We must give every one his own, pay our debts, and make restitution for all unjust damages we have caused. 9. We must not wrong our neighbor in his character or good name, by detraction or rash judgments; or in his honour, by reproaches and affronts; or rob him of his peace of mind by scoffs or contempt : or of his friends, by carrying stories back- wards and forwards, in all of which cases, whosoever wrongs his neighbour, is obliged to make restitution or satisfaction. 10. As we are commanded to abstain from all deeds of lust and injustice, so are we also strictly obliged to restrain all desires of them, and to resist the irregular Amotions of concupiscence. So far, the ten commandments, which are a short abridg- ment of the whole eternal and natural law, which admits of no dispensation. AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 59 ROMAN CATHOLIC OF PURGATORY. ttfromthefr S' JSS K *?<* whole6ome thought to Pra7 for the Dead, that they may be freed This is the inference drawn by the Sacred Historian from the charitable attention of Judas the Hachabee to his deceased fellow-soldiers. That illustrious warrior made a gathering of twelve thousand drachms of Silver, which he sent to Jerusalem, to get sacrifice offered for his companions in arms, who had purchased with their lives the glorious victory just then obtained over the enemies of the people of God : thinking well says the text, concerning the resurrection, and considering that those who had died in godliness, had great grace laid up for them. The inference here drawn— that it was holy and wholesome to pray for the dead, evidently supposes a Third State where departed souls are relieved by the suffrages of their surviving brethren, and in the supposition of such a state, most justly is that inference drawn ; for that cannot but be holy and most acceptable to God, which in the order of charity established by himself, interposes in behalf of our suffering fellow-creatures, whose unexpiated transgressions in this life expose them after death to the rigour of infinite justice. So express a testimony, in support of this point of the Catholic doctrine, is alone sufficient to confound the effrontery of those who would brand that doctrine with innovation. The passage is too explicit to be tortured into any other meaning ; nor could it of course be eluded otherwise than by rejecting the whole book of the Machabees, from which these words are taken; though that book was deemed canonical scripture by the earliest and most respectable writers of the Christian Church. Tertullian, St. Cyprian, St. Hilary, St. Ambrose, St. Austin ; and the third Council of Carthage held it to be such ; and it was quoted as divine by Origen himself, as also by St. Jerome, who therefore, when he called it Apocryphal, could mean nothing else by the expression than that the book of Machabees being written after the time of Esdras was not in his compilation The term Apocryphal, was applied by these same wri- ters to certain parts of the New Testament, which, though formerly doubted of for a time, until tradition had been fully elucidated, are now received as canonical. But waiving, for the present, the canonicity of this book, and allowing it nothing more than historical credence, that Prayer and Sacrifice for the dead were the established practice of the Jewish Church in the time of the Machabees ; that is, two hundred years before the Christian era. Nor was this practice ever condemned by our Re- deemer, though he so often reprobated the erroneous traditions of the Jews, and ar- gued with them on the subject of the Resurrection : which, agreeably to the remark of Doctor Jeremy Taylor, he would certainly have condemned, were not that practice innocent, pious, and full of charity. In the New Testament, Purgatory is adverted to, rather as a point already believed, than as one recently delivered. Our Saviour talks of a sin against the Holy Ghost, which shall not be forgiven in this world, nor in the world to come ; indicating, as St. Austin thinks, that other sins may be forgiven after this life. But as such forgiveness cannot be in Hell, whence there is no re- demption ; nor in Heaven, where nothing in need of forgiveness can be admitted ; it must allude to the third state, called by the Catholic Church Purgatory. Christ says, that God will render to every one according to his works ; and that even of an idle word we must render an account. Yet can it be supposed that an idle word, though we are accountable for it, shall for ever deprive us of God's friendship, and condemn us to everlasting misery ? No ; most certainly : being however a stain in the Soul, it cannot be admitted into Heaven, where nothing defiled can enter : it must then be expiated in that prison, out of which there shall be no discharge until 60 . AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. after the payment of the last farthing. St. Paul, in his epistle to the Corinthians, supposes this doctrine ; when having declared that the several works built upon the foundation laid by Christ shall be made manifest at the last day ; he adds, that the gold, or perfect works, shall abide the trial ; that the wood, the hay. the stubble, by which are meant the imperfect works, shall burn ; but being built upon the right foundation, though the man who thus worketh shall suffer loss, he shall be saved, continues the Apostle, yet, so as by fire. In this manner do Origen, St. Jerome, St. Austin, St. Paulinus, and Theodoret (these luminaries of primitive Christianity), explain that passage : and their united testimony is demonstrative evidence, that, this being the belief of the Catholic world in their time, it must have been a part of that precious deposit transmitted by the Apostles to those who were to succeed them. Upon no point whatsoever is tradi- tion clearer, or more explicit, than upon the doctrine of purgatory. In all ancient liturgies, without exception, prayers for the dead are to be found : the Fathers of the Church are unanimous in this doctrine; as may be readily seen, by a reference to the passages quoted from them by the late learned and pious Alban Butler, in his discourse upon all Souls' day ; whence the foregoing reflections havo been, almost entirely, taken : and these same testimonies diligently investigated by Mr. Thorndike, a celebrated Protestant Divine, compelled him to acknowledge that the practice of interceding for the dead, in the celebration of the Eucharist, is so gen- eral and so ancient, that it cannot be attributed to imposture, without involving com- mon Christianity in the same indiscriminating censure. Doctor Forbes, another divine of that communion, whose testimony here is of the greater weight, as he had carefully searched into antiquity, to conciliate all parties and to promote the peace of Christendom, cautions those of his religion against rejecting prayers and oblations for the dead ; he advises them rather to reverence the primitive Church, and to admit a practice confirmed by the uninterrupted profession of so many ages ; believed to be not only lawful in itself, but beneficial to the souls departed ; and delivered, if not in the writings of the Apostles, at least in those of the primitive Fathers, as their several works announce. To say that the doctriue of Purgatory is not Apos- tolical, only because it is not clearly expressed in the New Testament, is, at least, a very rash assertion : first, because many tilings are umversally received as Apostol- ical, which are not to be found in Scripture; such as infant Baptism, together with the Nicene and Athanasian Creed : secondly, because the Gospel itself tells us, that all things said and done by our Saviour, are not written: thirdly, because St. Paul gives it in charge to the Thessalonians to stand fast, and hold the tradition winch they had been taught ; whether by word, or by the Epistle : and. lastly, because, as St. Austin has it. though the doctrine were nowhere mentioned in the Scriptures, yet the authority of the whole Church, which in this point is conspicuous, must be con- sidered as of the utmost moment. It is therefore manifest, from the universality of this belief and practice, that with- out supposing a general combination of the whole Catholic world to deceive posterity, it must be acknowledged that the doctrine of Purgatory has no other origin than the Eternal Fountain of Truth. No Roman Catholic can, therefore, entertain the smallest doubt of it. It lias been expressly defined by the Church, and has ever been con Bidered as an Article of Faith. But nothing more concerning it is necessary to be believed, than that the souls detained in Purgatory, are relieved by the suffrages of the Faithful. "What its precise punishments are, whether the anguish be merely mental, or whether the souls there detained are tortured with elementary Fire ; in short, what the duration of their punishment is ; whether days, months, years, or ages, we know not with absolute certainty, the Church having decided nothing upon any of these particular subjects. Yet that the pains of Purgatory far exceed whatso- ever torture we are acquainted with on earth, seems clearly to follow from the design AMERICAN CHRISTIAN' RECORD. 61 or object of this purgation. Its design is to atone adequately to the rigor of Infinite Justice for the offences committed by the creature against the Creator : to atone thus by sufferings undergone in the sinner's own person after death; when there shall neither be mercy nor merit ; but an atonement inexorably exacted to the full, or until the very last farthing shall be discharged. Moreover, when the soul is disengaged from the body, and from all those clogs winch encumber its activity ; when no one vicissitude can occur to interrupt its at- tention ; when the detad of its anguish is incessantly felt ; when its past numberless imperfections, together with the horrible deformity of former mortal sins, forgiven indeed as to the eternal punishment, but reserved now for temporal infliction, are unveiled clearly before it ; all these circumstances must surely excite an extreme ex- cruciation. But in addition to this, when the enrapturing beauty of the Godhead is beheld in distant prospect; when his eternal joys expand every wish; and, as it were, stretch the soul upon the rack of its own intense desires ; must not a repulse from this ocean of bliss, in these circumstances, excite an anguish far exceeding the energies of all sublunary fire ? The souls in Purgatory love God indeed ; they love him most ardently ; their whole being is a Holocaust of love ; but though such love in this world can alleviate all our hardships, sweeten all our afflictions, and abridge the sense of their duration, by giving wings to time ; that very love in Purgatory must augment the afflictions of those that are detained there ; the more they love God, the more ardently do they sigh to possess him ; the more intensely do they lament their separation. Besides, though it be not an article of Faith that they are tormented by real elementary fire, it is still the opinion of St. Austin, and of the other Holy Fathers, founded upon the words of St. Paid, as well as upon the tradi- tionary authority of eminent prelates in the first ages of the Church. St. Thomas, after St. Austin, and St. Cyril of Jerusalem, is of opinion that the fire of Purgatory differs only in duration from the fire of Hell ; St. Hilary calls the fire of Purgatory indefatigable. It is further to be observed that these illustrious and suffering souls are now totally unable to relieve themselves : they look to the prayers, to the alms, and to the other good works of their brethren on this earth, which can administer comfort to them, and shorten the term of their punishments, in virtue of the commu- nion of saints : all which considerations most urgently call upon us to interpose daily and assiduously in their behalf. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy: and as we measure out to others, it shall be measured back to ourselves. Our own interest shall be an additional incentive to the practice of this charitable devotion. If by our exertions, our suffering fellow-members shall derive a mitigation of their punishments, and shall be more speedily admitted into glory ; they will never be un- mindful of their benefactors ; they will incessantly put up their powerful prayers and intercessions, before the throne of God, to obtain of him the forgiveness of our offences, the grace of sincere and effectual repentance, and the numberless graces we stand in need of. PRINCIPLES OF ROMAN CATHOLICS. Section I. — 1. The fruition of God, and the remission of sin are not attainable by man, otherwise than in and by the merits of Jesus Christ, who gratuitously purchased them for us. 2. The merits of Christ are applied to us chiefly by the sacraments, which pre-sup- pose and indispensably require in us a right faith. 1 hi AMERICAN* CHRISTIAN RECORD. 3. This faith is but one, entire, and conformable to its object, which is divine revelation, and to which faith gives an undoubtable assent. 4. This revelation contains many mysteries, transcending the natural reach of human understanding; wherefore, 5. It became the Divine wisdom and goodness to provide sdme way or means whereby man might arrive to the knowledge of these mysteries; means visible and apparent to all; means proportioned to the capacities of all; means Sure and certain to all. 6. This way or means is not the reading of the Scripture, interpreted according to the private reason or judgment of each particular person or nation ; but, 7. It is an attention and submission to the voice of the Catholic or universal church, established by Christ for the instruction of all; spread for that end through all nations, and visibly continued in the succession of pastors and people through all ages. From this church, guided in truth, and secured from error in matters of faith, by the promised assistance of the Holy Ghost, every one ma}' learn the right sense of the Scriptures, and such Christian mysteries and duties as arc necessary to sal- vation. 8. This church, thus established, thus spread, thus continued, thus guided in one uniform faith and subordination of government, is that which is tormed the Roman Catholic Church ; the qualities just mentioned — unity, indeficienoy, visibility, succes- sion, and universality, being evidently applicable to her, 9. From the testimony and authority of this church, it is that we receive the Scriptures, and believe them to be the word of God ; and as she can assuredly tell us what particular book is the word of God, so she can, with the like assurance, tell us also the true sense and meaning of it in controverted points of faith ; the same spirit that wrote the Scriptures, directed her to understand both them and all matters necessary to salvation. From these grounds it follows, that, 10. Only truths revealed by Almighty God, and proposed by the church, to be be- lieved as such, are, and ought to be esteemed articles of Catholic faith. 11. As an obstinate separation from the unity of the church, in known matters of faith, is heresy, so a wilful separation from the visible unity of the same church, in matters of subordination and government, is schism. 12. The church proposes unto us as matters of faith, first and chiefly, the Holy Scripture, and the points plain and intelligible in it, which she authoratively expounds, determining its meaning as understood from the commencement. Secondly, divine and Apostolical traditions, derived from Christ and his Apostles to all succeeding ages. These doctrines are proposed chiefly in the definitions of Popes and general councils. Section II. — 1. The pastors of the church, who are the doctrinal tribunal, either dispersed or convened in council, have received no commission from Christ to frame new articles of faith, these being solely divine revelations ; but only to explain and to ascertain to us what anciently was and is received and retained as of faith, in the church when debates and controversies arise upon these subjects. These definitions in matters of faith, and proposed as such, oblige all the faithful to an interior assent. But, 2. It is no article of faith that the church cannot err either in matters of fact, or in matters of speculation or civil policy, depending on mere human reason ; these not being divine revelations deposited in the Catholic church. 3. The ecclesiastical tribunals may judge incorrectly as to the morals of an indi- vidual, through false information, though the church cannot err in defining the gene- ral principles of morality as deduced from divine revelation. 4. In matters appertaining to local discipline, or rites, the privilege of infallibility ■ A&fcRlCAtt (JttfclBTlAi? RfiCOttb. 63 Cannot be urged; but points of universal discipline, solemnly sanctioned by decrees of the church, can never prove adverse to divine revelation or sound morals. 5. Catholics believe that the Bishop of Rome, successor of St. Peter, is the head of the whole Catholic church ; in which sense this church may therefore be stylod Roman Catholic, being an universal body united under one visible head. Neverthe- less, 6. The obedience which Catholics owe the Pope, or Bishop of Rome, is not ex-, tended to the performance of any immoral act, or to the violation of any of the duties, which as citizens we owe our country, or the established form of government ; the authority of the Pope being of a scriptural nature, and directed to maintain the integ- rity of faith and morals, and to form of all the members of Christ one body, and ono fold, under one head and one pastor, Christ himself being the supreme invisible head and pastor. 7. Catholics do not believe that the Pope has authority to free them from obliga- tions contracted towards their fellow men, even when not sanctioned with the so- lemnity of an oath. Much less do they believe that the Pope can, at his pleasure, annul the still more solemn obligations which have been confirmed with so sacred a sanction. 8. As for the disputes or errors of particular divines, we are in no wise responsi- ble for them; nor are Catholics, as such, justly punishable on their account — But, 9. Personal misdemeanors, of what nature soever, ought not to be imputed to the body of Catholics, when these misdemeanors are not justifiable by the tenets of Catho- lic faith and doctrine. For which reason, though the stories of the Irish cruelties, or powder plot, had been exactly true, (which yet, for the most part, are notoriously mis-related) nevertheless Catholics, as such, ought not to surfer for such offences, any more than the eleven Apostles ought to have suffered for the treachery of Judas. 10. It is a fundamental truth in our religion, that no power on earth can license men to lie, or forswear or perjure themselves, to massacre their neighbors, or destroy their native country on pretence of promotiug the Catholic cause or religion ; Fur- thermore, all pardons or dispensations, granted or pretended to be granted, in order to any such ends or designs, could have no other validity or effect than to add sacri- lege and blasphemy to the above mentioned crimes. 11. The doctrine of equivocation, or mental reservation, however wrongfully im- puted to the Catholic religion, was never thought of or approved by the church; on the contrary, simplicity and godly sincerity are constantly inculcated by her as truly Christian virtues, necessary to the conservation of justice, truth, «nd common security. Section III. — 1. Every Catholic believes that when a sinner repents of his sins, from the bottom of his heart, and acknowledges his transgressions to God and his ministers, the dispensers of the mysteries of Christ, resolving to turn from his evil ways, and bring forth fruits worthy of repentance, there is then, and not otherwise, an authority left by Christ, to absolve such a penitent sinner from his sins; which authority Christ gave to his Apostles and their successors, the Bishops and Priests of this church in those words, "Receive ye the Holy Ghost; whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven unto them." 2. Though no creature whatsoever can make condign satisfaction, either for the guilt of sin or the pain eternal due to it, this satisfaction being proper to Christ our Saviour only, yet penitent sinners, redeemed by Christ, may, as members of Christ, in some measure satisfy by prayer, fasting, alms deeds, and other works of piety, for the temporal pain, which, in the order of Divine justice, sometimes remains due, after the guilt of sin and pain eternal have been remitted. Such penitential works are, notwithstanding, no otherwise satisfactory, than as joined to and applied with that 64 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. satisfaction which Jesus made on the cross , in virtue of which all our good works lind a grateful acceptance in the sight of God. 3. The guilt of sin or pain eterual due to it, is never remitted by what Catholics call indulgences ; but only such temporal punishment as remains due after the guilt is remitted ; those indulgences being nothing else than a mitigation or relaxation of the canonical penances enjoined by the pastors of the church on penitent sinners, according to their several degrees of demerit. And if abuses and mistakes have been sometimes committed either in point of granting or gaining indulgences through the remissness or ignorance of particular persons, contrary to the ancient custom and discipline of the church, such abuses or mistakes cannot reasonably be charged on the church, or rendered matters of derision, in prejudice to her faith and discipline. 4. Catholics hold that there is a Purgatory, that is to say, a place or state where souls departing this life, with remission of their sins as to the eternal guilt or pain, but yet obnoxious to some temporal punishment still remaining due, or not perfectly treed from the blemish of some defects or deordinations, are purged before their ad- mittance into Heaven, where nothing that is defiled can enter. 5. Catholics also hold, that such souls so detained in Purgatory, being the living members of Jesus Christ, are relieved by the prayers and suffrages of their fellow members here on earth ; but where this place is, or of what nature or quality the pains are, how long souls may be there detained, in what manner the suffrages made in their behalf are applied, whether by way of satisfaction or intercession, &c, are questions which do not appertain to faith. 6. Xo man, though just, can merit either an increase of sanctity in this life, or eternal glory in the next, independently of the merits and passion of Christ Jesus ; but the good works of a just man proceeding from grace and charity, are so far ac- ceptable to God, as to be, through his goodness and sacred promises, truly merito- rious of eternal life. 7. It is an article of the Catholic faith, that in the most holy sacrament of the Eucharist, there is truly and really contained the body of Christ which was delivered for us, and his blood which was shed for the remission of sins; the snbstance of bread and wine, being by the power of Christ changed into the substance of his blessed body and blood ; the species or appearance of bread and wine still remain- ing.— But, 8. Christ is not present in this Sacrament, according to his natural way of exist- ence, that is, with extension of parts, &c. but in a supernatural manner : one and the same in many places; his presence therefore, though real and substantial, is sacramentally, not exposed to the external senses, or obnoxious to corporal con- tingencies. 9. Neither is the body of Christ in this holy sacrament separated from his blood, or his blood from his body, or either of them disunited from his soul and divinity ; but all and whole, living Jesus is entirely contained under either species ; so that whosoever receives under either kind is truly partaker of the whole sacrament, and no ways deprived either of the body or blood of Christ. True it is : 10. Our Saviour Jesus Christ left unto us his body and blood under two distinct species or kinds ; in doing which, he instituted not only a sacrament, but also a sacrifice, a commemorative sacrifice, distinctly showing his death and bloody passion until he comes ; for as the sacrifice of the cross was performed by a distinct effusion of blood from the body, so is that sacrifice commemorated in this of the altar, by a distinction of the symbols. Jesus therefore is here given not only to us, but for us, and the church is thereby enriched with a true, proper and propitiatoiy sacrifice, usually termed the Mass. 11. Catholics renounce all divine worship and adoration of images or pictures. Ood alone we worship and adore ; nevertheless we place pictures in our churches to AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 65 reduce our wandering thoughts, and excite our memory towards heavenly things. Further, we allow a certain honour to be shown to the images of Christ and his Saints, beyond what is due to profane figures : not that we believe any divinity or virtue to reside in them, for which they ought to be honoured, but because the hon- our given to pictures is referred to the prototype or thing represented. In like manner, 12. There is a kind of honour and respect due to the Bible, to the Cross, to the name of Jesus, to Churches, to the Sacraments, &c, as things peculiarly appertaining to God : also to the glorious Saints in Heaven, as the friends of God, and to Kings, Magistrates, and superiors on earth ; to whom honour is due, honour may be given, without derogating from the Majesty of God, or from that divine worship which is appropriated to him. Moreover, 13. Catholics believe that the blessed Saints in Heaven, replenished with charity, pray for us their fellow members here on earth ; that they rejoice at our conversion ; that, seeing God, they see and know in him all things suitable to their happy state ; that God may be inclined to hear their requests made on our behalf, and for their sakes may grant us many favours, therefore we believe it is good and profitable to desire their intercession; and that this manner of invocation is no more injurious to Christ our mediator, than it is for one Christian to beg the prayers of another in this world. Notwithstanding which, Catholics are not taught so to rely on the prayers of others, as to neglect their own duty to God ; in imploring his divine mercy and goodness ; in mortifying the flesh and its deeds : in despising the world ; in loving and serving God and their neighbour ; in following the footsteps of Christ our Lord, who is the way, the truth and the life, to whom be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen, A PROFESSION OF CATHOLIC FAITH. I N. N., with a firm faith, believe and profess all and every one of those things, which are contained in that Creed, which the Holy Catholic {Roman) Church maketh use of; to wit, I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible, and in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only be- gotten Son of God, and born of the Father before all ages ; God of God ; light of light ; true God of the true God ; begotten, not made ; consubstantial to the Father, by whom all things were made. Who, for us man, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man. "Was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate ; he suffered and was buried, and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven ; sits at the right hand of the Father, and is to come again with glory, to judge the living and the dead ; of whose kingdom there shall be no end. And in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and life-giver, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who, to- gether with the Father and the Son, is adored and glorified, who spoke by the Pro- phets. And (I believe) One Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, I confess one Baptism for the remission of sins : and I expect the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. I most steadfastly admit and embrace Apostolical and ecclesiastical Traditions, and all other observances and constitutions of the Church. I also admit the Holy Scripture, according to that sense which our holy Mother, •the Church, has held, and does hold, to which it belongs, to Judge of the true sense 5 66 AMERICAN' CHRISTIAN RECORD. and interpretations of the Scriptures : neither will I ever take and interpret them otherwise than according to the unanimous consent of the Fathers. 1 also profess that there are. truly and properly, Seven Sacraments of the New Law, instituted by Jesus Christ, our Lord, and necessary for the salvation of mankind; though not all, for every one: to wit, Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Penance, Extreme Unction, Order, and Matrimony, and that they confer grace : and that, of these, Baptism, Confirmation, and Order cannot be reiterated without sacrilege. I also receive and admit the received and approved Ceremonies of the Catholic Church in the solemn administration of all the aforesaid Sacraments. I embrace and receive all and every one of the things, which have been defined and declared in the holy Council of Trent, concerning Original Sin and Justification I profess, likewise, that in the Mass there is offered to God, a true, proper, and pro- pitiatory sacrifice for the living and the dead. And that in the most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist, there is truly, really, and substantially, the Body and Blood, together with the Soul and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ : and that there is made a conver- sion of the whole substance of the bread into the body, and of the whole substance of wine into the blood ; which conversion the Catholic Church calls Transubstantia- ii.on. I also confess that, under either kind alone Christ is received whole and entire, and a true sacrament. I constantly hold, that there is a Purgatory, and that the souls therein detained, are helped by the suffrages of the faithful. Likewise, that the Saints reigning together with Christ, are to be honored and iuvocated, and that they offer prayers to God for us, and that their relics are to be respected. I most firmly assert, that the Images of Christ, of the Mother of God, ever Virgin, and also of the Saints, ought to be had and retained, and that due honor and venera- tion is to be given them. I also affirm, that the power of Indulgences was left by Christ in the Church, and that the use of them is most wholesome to Christian people. I acknowledge the Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Roman Church, for the Mother and Mistress of all Churches ; and I promise true obedience to the Bishop of Rome, suc- cessor to St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles, and Vicar of Jesus Christ. I likewise undoubtedly receive and profess all other things delivered, defined, and declared by the Sacred Canons, and General Councils, and particularly by the Holy Council of Trent. And I condemn, reject, and anathematize all things contrary thereto, and all here- sies whatsoever, condemned, rejected, and anathematized by the Church. This true Catholic faith, without which no one can be saved, I N. N. do at this present freely profess and sincerely hold, and I promise most constantly to retain, and confess the same entire and unviolated, with God's assistance, to the end of my life. Amen. CONGREGATION ALISTS. This branch of the Christian church owes its origin to Robert Browne, of Eng- Lui'i, who was one of the many thinkers brought to the surface by the attempt of the Established Church, in 1567, to suppress, by legal force, the assemblies of the Puri- tans. Browne held, as to church polity, that ''each church or society of Christians meeting in one place, was a body corporate, having full power within itself to admit AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 6? and exclude members ; to choose and ordain officers ; and when the good of the society required it, to depose them, without being accountable to classes, convoca- tions, synods, councils, or any jurisdiction whatever." He denied both the suprem- acy of the Queen in ecclesiastical matters, and the claim of the Establishment to be a scriptural church, and declared the scriptures to be the only guide in all matters of faith and discipline. He insisted that the labors of a pastor were to be confined to a single church; that one church could exercise no jurisdiction over another, except so far as to advise or reprove it, or to withdraw its fellowship from such as walked dis- orderly; that five orders or offices were recognized in the church — pastor, teacher, elder, deacon, and widow : but that the priesthood were not to be a distinct order from the laity." These opinions, too bold for the time, brought down upon their author all the indignation of the Establishment, and the malevolence of the laity, who hooted him in the streets, followed him in mobs, and visited upon him every species of insult and provocation. Still, in the face of this, he succeeded in gathering a church — the first founded on Congregational principles. His and its enemies, how- ever, were too numerous. Slander, villification, ridicule, mobs, fines, arrests, im- prisonment, in some instances the scaffold — whatever could lower the man and bring him into public contempt ; whatever could intimidate and deter the little band from assembling, and discomfort them in every relation — was unscrupulously em- ployed, and finally with success : the church broke up, Browne, with many of the congregation, flying to Holland. He subsequently returned, but it was only to meet anew the fires of persecution ; mobs pursued him in the streets, assembled with clubs and stones and hooting instruments before his lodgings, and posted infamous placards, concerning him and his proselytes, on the walls ; while graver zealots, in the pulpit, on the bench, and with the pen, exhausted every nerve to drive him back to his original obscurity, and with him the daring doctrine he had advanced. Few had the courage to come to his aid, and power and popular ignorance carried the day. He was crushed. But, though the light of the man was extinguished, that of his doctrine, which had sunk deep into the public mind, survived. In 1602, a second church, founded on Congregational principles, was formed in the north of England, which had for one of its pastors, the Rev. John Robinson, a man of a strong mind, and a careful reader of the scriptures. This church, however, like its predecessor, had also to bend before the storm of persecution. With the prelacy and its formidable power on the one hand, and the equally harrassing Independents on the other, it could not choose but retire. Mr. Robinson and the members projected a plan of escape to Holland, which was frustrated by the treachery of the captain of the vessel they had engaged, who, a prelatist, betrayed them to the Establishment, and they were thrown into prison. A second effort was more successful for a portion of the company, who gained Amsterdam in safety. In the spring of 1608, the remainder, with their pastor and families (among whom were Mr. Brewster, Mr. Bradford, Mr. Carver, and Mr. Winslow — names dear to New Englanders), met at night, on a lonely heath in Lincolnshire, hoping to escape under cover of the darkness. A ship, they had secretly employed, lay in the offing, her tall masts looming up in the shadowy gloom like friendly beacons. At the appointed hour, a boat set off to convey the little band on board. Unhappily the wind was high and the sea rough, rendering this a work of much slowness and difficulty. While a part were on their way to the vessel, a number of horsemen appeared on the heath, in pursuit. They had been again be- trayed ! All on the heath, principally women and children, were taken. But after they had endured imprisonment and suffering, they were again set free, and they eventually joined their friends in Holland. Mr. Robinson and his congregation, on arriving in Holland, first joined themselves to the church at Amsterdam ; but dissensions breaking out in that body, they removed 68 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. to Leyden. where they remained ten years. Though many of them were men of for- tune and family, yet so indigent were they at this period, that they were compelled to learn mechanical trades, in order to support their families, Mr. Brewster becom- ing a printer, Mr. BRADFORD a silk dyer, etc. In the interim, the church largely in- creased by new immigrations from England, and Mr. Robinson published several controversial works, mostly in explanation, or defence, of his views. The principles of Mr. Robinson and the church of Leyden are thus summed up by Belknap, as regards church government and the sacraments. In doctnne, they were strictly Calvinistic : 1. That no church ought to consist of more members than can conveniently meet together for worship and discipline. 2. That any church of Christ is to consist only of such as appear to believe in, and obey him. 3. That any competent number of such have a right, when conscience obliges them, to form themselves into a distinct church. 4. That this incorporation is by some contract or covenant, express or implied. 5. That, being thus incorporated, they have a right to choose their own officers. 6. That these officers are pastors or teaching elders, ruling elders, and deacons. 7. That elders being chosen, and ordained, have no power to rule the church, but by consent of the brethren. 8. That all elders, and all churches, are equal in respect of powers and privileges. 9. With respect to ordinances, they hold that baptism is to be administered to visi- ble believers and their infant children ; but they admitted only the children of com- municants to baptism. That the Lord's Supper is to be received sitting at the table. (Whilst they were in Holland they received it every Lord's day.) That ecclesiasti- cal censures were wholly spiritual, and not to be accompanied with temporal penalties. 10. The}r admitted no holy days but the Christian Sabbath, though they had occa- sionally days of fasting and thanksgiving; and, finally, they renounced all right of human invention or imposition in religious matters. In 1G17, the dissolute manners prevailing in Holland, and the danger to the young from this source, induced Mr. Robinson and his church to plan a removal to Ame- rica, and Virginia being fixed upon, a committee was sent to treat with the Virginia Company. But the latter, though desirous that they should settle upon their terri- tory, could not guarantee them liberty of conscience. A connivance was promised them by the archbishop, but an open toleration was refused. At length, however, in 1619, they obtained a patent, and by a contract with certain merchants in London, pecuniary resources for the undertaking. The vessels not being sufficiently large to take the whole congregation. Mr. Robinson, and such as cotdd not go, remained at Leyden, while Elder Brewster accompanied the emigrants. The unseaworthiness of one of the vessels obliged them to put into Plymouth, whence they again set sail, but had once more to return, when, leaving behind the discouraged and disaffected, the remainder, in all a hundred souls, in a single ship, for the last time set forth to find a home in the wildern> --. The church planted by these exiles at Plymouth was the first organised in Newf England With their privations and Bufferings, their cheerful hope and rugged fail i in God, all are familiar. For several years after the landing of the Plymouth exiles. Elder Brewster per- formed all the duties of a minister, except the administration of the sacraments, but refused to be ordained. In 1625, Mr. Robinson died. After his death, the church at Leyden dissolved, a part going to Amsterdam, and a part afterwards joining their friends at Plymouth. In 1630. a church was organised at Charlestown, where, on the 30th of July, the AMERICA* CHRISTIAN RECORD. 69 governor, deputy governor, and the minister, Mr. Wilson, entered into a church cove- nant. Two days after, five others joined them, and subsequently others. At length, they, in form, elected Mr. Wilson for their minister, and ordained him. Like modes of organization followed in the other colonies, and separate churches formed in each, one after another. It does not appear, however, that there was any uniform plan of church government until Mr. Colton's arrival in 1633, who projected some general plans embracing all the churches, which thenceforth took the name of Congregational. The subsequent history of the churches in New England is a history of the colo- nies, which does not fall within our province. Without designing it, and indeed with principles in full developement essentially hostile to any connexion between the State and the church, the Pilgrims so blended religious and political institutions, that religion and politics both grew sickly from the unnatural union. In 1638, the Pilgrims, feeling the need of men for the ministry to take the place of those who had been educated in England, founded Harvard College. Common schools were also established by law. In 1637, began the famous ecclesiastical controversy respecting Antinomianism, Mrs. Hutchinson, the chief promulgator of Antinomian tenets, maintaining, according to the summary of her opinions in Neal, that " believers in Christ are personally united with the spirit of God ; that commands to work out salvation with fear and trembling apply only to such as are under the covenant of works ; that sanctification is not sufficient evidence of a good state ; and that immediate revelations about future events are to be believed as equally infallible with the Scriptures." These opinions, becoming absorbing topics of discussion, divided the whole colony into two parties — those who were for a covenant of works and those for a covenant of grace. The quarrel raging with violence, a synod was called, which met at Newtown — the first synod convened in New England. The Synod unanimously condemned Mrs. Hutch- inson's opinions. In 1648, the second synod was held, at which the Confession of Faith, known as the Cambridge Platform, was adopted. Previous to this synod, the New England churches had never agreed upon any regular system of discipline. In 1680, a confession of faith, adopted by the English Congregational churches, was approved by a synod convened at Boston, and is to this day considered a correct exposition of the opinions of Congregationalists. This confession of faith, with a few variations, is the same as that agreed to by the Westminster Assembly. In 1750, the principles of the Unitarians had been extensively adopted by Congre- gationalists. There was not, however, any rupture upon this ground till 1785, when several churches relinquished their confessions of faith, and subsequently many others followed their example. By this separation, Harvard college fell under the control of the Unitarians, who, however, still retain the Congregational form of Church government. The connection between the Congregational system of church polity and the civil power, was severed in most of the colonies by the revolution. The principles of the modern Congregationalists differ but little from those held by John Robinson* and the church at Leyden. Starting with the definition of that emi- nent divine, that "a church is a company of pious persons, who voluntarily unite together for the worship of God," their whole system may logically be deduced. They appeal to the Scriptures as their only guide in all matters of faith and polity. They believe that the Congregational system of church government is taught in the sacred writings, and sanctioned by the usage of the Apostles and the early Christians. They regard creeds and confessions of faith as mere compendiums of essential doc- trines, to which every one is expected to subscribe ; convenient guides in the examin- ation of candidates, but not standards of religious truths. By the Bible they are to 70 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. be measured, and no doctrine that cannot be found in it is to be received, however endeared to us by its associations, or venerable by its antiquity. Their Officers are two — pastor and deacon. The office of elder went into disuse at Plymouth, in 1745. Each church is independent of every other, and manages its own affairs. Every State has one or more associations of pastors, to which is generally con- fided the power of licensing ministers. Councils and synods are merely advisory bodies, composed of delegates from the various churches within certain local limits. They are, so to speak, a kind of con- gress, where the representatives of independent churches meet, to consult with one another respecting matters of general interest. But they become parties to no arti- cles of union, which make the decisions of their representatives, thus convened, or binding authority. Each church is free to accept or reject its decisions, which are mere recommendations, not laws. These councils are sometimes mutual, sometimes ex parte, and sometimes standing or permanent. A mutual council, as the term denotes, is one called by both parties ; an ex parte council, one which either party may call, without the concurrence of the other. These councils are usually composed of the pastor, and a lay delegate froni each of the neighboring churches; the disputing parties by letters missive, designat- ing the churches whose council they desire, and each of the churches thus addressed electing its own delegates. Standing, or permanent councils are almost entirely confined to Connecticut. By articles of discipline, adopted at Saybrook in 1708, all the churches in that State are consociated for mutual assistance in their ecclesiastical concerns. The pastor and churches of a county usually form one or more consociations ; and all cases which cannot be determined without the aid of a council, are brought before this body. In New York, many churches, originally founded by Congregationalists, and after the Congregational model, have, from a desire of harmony, adopted, wholly, or in part, the Presbyterian discipline. In 1834, those churches that had retained the Congregational discipline, formed a general association, in which both churches and ministers were represented, lay delegates representing the former. The Cambridge Platform is regarded as the Congregational system of church polity in this country. It was drawn up by the synod which met at Cambridge, Massachu- setts, in 1648. Congregationalism was confined almost exclusively to the New England States till about 1800; since when it has very considerably extended into the Middle and Wes- tern States, and in a few instances, those in the South-west. It is scarcely known in the Southern States. The literature of the Congregationalists is extensive, scholarly, and marked in the main by a rugged mental strength, quite characteristic, and in which seems still to run the hardy moral vigor of the clear-headed, iron-willed men that, twice driven back to port and there deserted by the discouraged and faint-hearted, put forth a. third time undismayed and calm in faith, in a single ship, to found a new home and a free nation, in a wild, inhospitable land. The Congregational Board of Publication has a respectable list of stereotype standard works, by the great minds of the denomination, among which may be mentioned the productions of John Robinson, Thomas Siiep- ard, Joseph Bellamy, Jonathan Edwards, Samuel Hopkins, to say nothing of the writings of equally able and more modern pens. In periodical literature, the denomination is decidedly first among the foremost. The denomination is a decided friend to education, having founded several colleges, theological seminaries, and a large number of high schools and academies, It has several institutions of interest and importance, viz. : 1. The American Edu- cation Society, for educating young men for the ministry : 2. The Congregational AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. Vl Library Association, whose object is to "found and perpetuate a library of books, pam- phlets, and manuscripts, and a collection of portraits, and whatever else shall serve to illustrate Puritan history,and promote the general interests of Congregationalism;" 3. the Congregational Board of Publication, whose aim is to publish such works as are needed and adapted "to promote the progress and well working of the Congre- gational Church Polity" ; 4. The Massachusetts Sabbath School Society, which, in addition to an extensive list of books for Sabbath school libraries, publishes a well edited weekly journal for Sabbath scholars: 5, The American Congregational Union, the particular object of which is "to collect, preserve, and publish authentic informa- tion concerning the history, condition and continued progress of Congregational Churches in all parts of the Country, with their affiliated institutions, and with their relations to kindred churches and institutions to other countries," The denomination co-operates with the American Bible Society, Am, Board Com. Foreign Missions, Am. Home Missionary Society, Am. Tract Society, Am. Sunday School Union, Am. and For. Chris. Union Society for the promotion of Collegiate and Theological Education at the West, Am. Missionary Assoc, Am. and For. Anti- Slavery Soc, Am. Colonization Soc, Am. Temperance Union, Seaman's Friend Soc, and Am. Soc. for ameliorating the condition of the Jews. As already said, the Congregationalists were divided in 1785 by Unitarianism, whose principles had, for thirty-five years, been quietly making their way into the Church. Since the division, the Congregationalists have been known in New En- gland as Congregational Trinitarians, and the seceding division, as Congregational Unitarians ; in other parts of the United States, they have been more commonly called, respectively, Congregationalists and Unitarians. In this article we have spoken of Trinitarian Congregationalists, in doctrine they are Calvinistic. CONFESSION OF FAITH. Article 1. We believe that there is one God — the sole Creator, Preserver and mo- ral Governor of the Universe A spiritual Being of infinite wisdom, power, justice, goodness and truth; self-existent, independent and unchangeable. Art. 2. We believe that the scriptures of the old and new Testaments were given by inspiration of God ; that they contain a complete and harmonious system of di- vine truth, and are our only perfect rule of doctrinal belief and religious practice. Art. 3. We believe that according to the scriptures the divine existence is such as lays a foundation for a three-fold distinction of persons in the Godhead — the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost ; and that these three are one God — the same in essence, and in all the divine attributes equal. Art. 4. We believe that the one supreme God has made all things for himself; t lat known unto him were all his works from the beginning ; and that he has made ail things according to the holy and unchanging counsel of his own will ; yet in such a manner as that man is a free agent, and accountable for all his actions. Art. 5. We believe that the divine law, and the principles of divine government are perfectly holy, just and good. Art. 6. We believe that the first parents of the human race were created holy, and fell from their original state, by voluntarily transgressing the divine command in the article of forbidden fruit. Art. 1, We believe that, in consequence of their apostacy, all their posterity arq *12 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. bom with hearts depraved and at enmity with God; so that, if left to themselves, they will invariably commit sin, and expose themselves to his wrath for ever. Art. 8. "We believe that Christ, the Son of God, is the only Redeemer of sinners — that he took our nature upon him, and by his sufferings and death made a sufficient atonement for the sins of all men, so that God can now be just, and yet the justifier of him that believeth in Jesus. Art. 9. We believe that, although the invitations of the gospel are such that who- soever will may come and partake of the waters of life freely ; yet the depravity of the human heart is such, that no man will come to Christ, except the Father, by the special and efficacious influences of his spirit, draw him. Art. 10. We believe that those who embrace the gospel were chosen in Christ before the world began ; and that they are saved, not by works of righteousness which they have done, but according to the distinguishing mercy of God, by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost. Art. 11. "We believe that for those who exercise true faith in Christ, there is no condemnation, and that they are kept by the power of God, through faith unto sal- vation. Art. 12. We believe that there will be a resurrection of the dead ; that all man- kind must one day stand before the judgment seat of Christ, to receive sentence of just and final retribution, according to their respective works; and that from the judgment seat the wicked shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the right' eous into life eternal. Art. 14. "We believe that the sacraments of the New Testament are Baptism and Lord's Supper ; that believers of regular church standing only, can consistently par- take of the holy supper ; aad that visible believers be admitted to the ordinance of baptism. (congregational) unitarians. Unitarianism in the United States dates back to the middle of the last century, when Emlyn's Inquiry into the Scripture Accouut of Jesus Christ, republished iu Boston, Mass., was extensively read. In 1785, the society worshipping at King's Chapel (Episcopal) adopted an amended liturgy, excluding Trinitarian sentiments. Eroin that time to 1800, Unitarian views slowly but steadily spread throughout New England, and even to Northumberland and Philadelphia. Controversy on the sub- ject was rarely introduced into the pulpit, but Unitarianism was silently making progress. The appointment, in 1805, of one of its advocates to the divinity professor- ship at Cambridge created much uneasiness among Trinitarians. In 1812, Mr. Belsham. in his Memoirs of Lindsey. published in London, introduced a chapter headed " Progress and Present State of the Unitarian Churches in Ame- rica." This was republished in a pamphlet, in Boston, in 1815, with a Preface by the American editor, the object of the republication being to sound the alarm against L'nitarianism on this side of the Atlantic. The pamphlet was immediately reviewed in the Panoplist, a Calvinistic publication of the time. The two publications caused great excitement. A controversy ensued. Dr. Channing leading the way, in a letter addressed to the Rev. S. C. Thatcher, in which he charged the Panoplist with at- tempting to fasten on American Unitarianism all the odium of Mr. Belsham's pecu- liar views, and replied to what he conceived to be other misrepresentations of the reviewer, particularly to the accusation of hypocritical concealment, brought against the Unitarians. Several pamphlets were published in this controversy by Dr. Channing, Dr. Samuel Worcester, of Salem, and others. The tendency of tins controversy was to draw a sharp, distinct line between the parties, the Panoplist urging upon the orthodox the necessity of separating, "inwor. AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. T3 ship and communion, from Unitarians." Exchange of pulpits, now, in a great measure, ceased. Many congregations were divided in opinion ; a separation was viewed as a great evil, but it appeared inevitable: The contro /ersy brought up the rights of churches and parishes, respectively, in the settlement of a minister. Before the excitement on this subject had subsided, another controversy arose, occasioned by a sermon by Dr. Channing, at the ordina- tion of Mr. Sparks, at Baltimore. The controversy embraced the doctrine of the Trinity, and the doctrines of Cal- vinism generally, all of which were subjected to a very thorough discussion. Pro- fessor S 'it art, of Andover, appeared in defence of the Trinity, and Mr. Andrews Xortox in opposition, in an article in the Christian Examiner, subsequently enlarged and published in a separate volume, under the title, "A Statement of Reasons for not believing tho Doctrine of Trinitarians, concerning the Nature of God and the Per- son of Christ." Dr. Woods, of Andover, defended the doctrines of Calvinism, and Dr. Ware, of Harvard University, replied. Several replications and rejoinders fol- lowed. A discussion was at the same time going on between Mr. Sparks, of Balti- more, and Dr. Miller, of Princeton. When the controversy subsided, the Orthodox and Unitarian Congregationalists were found to constitute two distinct bodies. Unitarian churches are now to be found in nearly every State in the Union. Their supply of ministers is mainly furnished by the divinity college of the Univer- sity of Cambridge. The literature of this denomination is extensive, and distinguished for its high scholastic tone, its moral firmness, its stately diction, and in discussion, its scrupulous regard for those amenities which guard and govern the well-bred, permitting them freely to discuss principles, without entrenching upon the respect of each for the other, or endangering their friendship. The American Unitarian Association, which represents the main body of churches in the denomination, holds an annual convention for the discussion of such topics as are of general interest. It furnishes temporary aid to small and distinct societies, does something for domestic missions, particularly in the Western States, has several aux- iliaries in various parts of the Union, is energetic in efforts to raise np a numerous and educated ministry, and, through its Executive Committee, issues tracts monthly, of which a considerable number of volumes have already been published. It co-op- erates with a Book and Pamphlet Society, which annually distributes a large number of books and tracts. The denomination has also a Charitable Society, for the relief of widows and chil- dren of deceased ministers, partly under the care of Trinitarians, a society for prop- agating the Gospel among the North American Indians ; an Evangelical Missionary Society, with several auxiliaries; a Children's Missionary Society; a Society for Propagating Theological Education ; one for promoting Christian Knowledge, Piety, and Charity ; and a Sunday School Society, with numerous auxiliaries. UNITARIAN DOCTRINE. 1. The Bible. — They regard the sacred books of the Bible as containing words of a divine revelation, miraculously made to the world. . They receive it as their standard, their rule of faith and life, interpreting it as they think consistently, and the principles of sound and approved criticism demand. They believe it is addressed to men as reasonable beings ; that reverence for its records, and respect for the natures w*>;ch God has bestowed on us, and which Christ came to save, make it our duty to use our understanding, and the best lights which are afforded us, for ascertaining its mearwg ; that God cannot contradict in one wav what he records in another ; that his - >rd H AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. and works must utter a consistent language ; that, if the Bible be Ins gift, it cannot be at war with nature and human reason ; that if we discard reason in its interpre- tation, there is no absurdity we may not deduce from it ; that we cannot do it greater dishonor than to admit that it will not stand the scrutiny of reason ; that if our faculties are not worthy of trust, if they are so distempered by the fall that we can no longer repose any confidence in their veracity, then revelation itself cannot benefit us, for we have no reason left of judging of its evidences or import, and are reduced, at once, to a state of utter scepticism. 2. God. — They believe that God is one mind, one person, one undivided being ; that the Father alone is entitled to be called God, in the highest sense ; that he alone possesses the attributes of infinite, undivided divinity, and is the only proper object of supreme worship and love; that he yearns with a father's tenderness and pity towards the whole offspring of Adam ; that he earnestly desires their repentance and holiness , that his infinite, overflowing love led him, miraculously, to raise up and send Jesus to be their spiritual deliverer, to purify their souls from sin, to re- store them to communion with himself, and fit them for pardon and everlasting life in his presence ; in a word, to reconcile man to God and earth to heaven. That the gospel of Jesus Christ originated in the exhaustless and unbought love of the Father ; that it is intended to operate on man, and not on God ; that the only obstacle which exists, or ever has existed on the part of God, to the forgiveness of the sinner, is found in the breast of the sinner himself; that the life, teachings, and resurrection of Jesus, become an instrument of pardon, as they are the appointed means of turning man from sin to holiness, of breathing into his soul new moral and spiritual life, and elevating it to a union with the Father. That the Cross of Christ was not needed to render Christ merciful ; that Jesus suffered not as a victim of God's wrath, or t > satisfy his justice, which view they think obscures the glory of the divine character, is repugnant to God's equity, veils his loveliest attributes, and is injurious to a spirit of filial, trusting piety. Thus all, in their view, is to be referred primarily tr the boundless and unpurchased love of the Father, whose wisdom chose this met jod of bringing man within reach of his pardoning mercy, by redeeming him from th power of sin, and establishing in his heart his kingdom of righteousness and peace 3. Jesus Christ — They believe Christ to be a distinct being from Go^, and sub- ordinate to him ; that he possesses only derived attributes ; that he is not the su- preme God himself, but his Son, and the mediator through whom he has chosen to impart the richest blessings of his love to a sinning world. They be1 .eve him to be one with God in affection, will, and purpose ; not in nature, but in purpose, affection and act, through him Christians are brought near to the Father, an A their hearts are penetrated with divine love. By union with him as the true /ine, they are nur- tured in the spiritual life. In his teachings, they find revelation of holy truth. The question of his nature, they do not consider as import? nt. In regard to his rank of Son, and the time at which his existence commencf d, they differ. Some hold his pre-existenoe, others that his existence commencf d at the time of his en- trance into the world. At the same time all entertain exalt' ,d views of his character and offices. In a reverence for these, they yield to no jlass of Christians. The divinity which others ascribe to his person, they think m*y, with more propriety be referred to these. "We believe firmly," says one of theiv most eminent writers, "in the divinity of Christ's mission and office ; that he spol e with divine authority, and was a bright image of the divine perfections ; that God dwelt in him, manifested him- self through him, taught men by him, and communicated to him his Spirit without measure ; that he was the most glorious display, expression, and representation of God to mankind, so that, through seeing and knowing him, we see and know the invisible Father; so that when Christ came, God viiited the world and dwelt with men more conspicuously than at any former period. In Christ's words, we hear AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 75 God speaking; in his miracles, we behold God acting; in.luM character and life wo see an unsullied image of God's purity and love. We beuffre, then, in the divinity of Christ, as this term is often and properly used.'"' They do not rely exclusively or chiefly on w'tfal they conceive to be the incredi- bility of the doctrine of Christ being God. Tiuiy say, they take the Bible in their hands, and sitting down to read it, as plain, Unlettered Christians, and with prayei for divine illumination, they find that the general tenor of its language either dis- tinctly asserts, or necessarily implies, the supremacy of the Father, and teaches the inferior and derived nature of the Son. In proof of this, they appeal to such pas- sages as the following: "This is life eternal, that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.'' (John xvii, 3.) "For there is one God and one Mediator between Sod and man, the man Christ Jesus." (1 Tim. ii, 5.) "My Father is greater than I." (John xiv, 28.) "My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me." (Ibid, vii, 1G.) "I speak not of myself." (Ibid. xiv. 10.) "I can of my own self do nothing." (Ibid, v, 30.) "The Father that dwelleth in me he doeth the works." (Ibid, xiv, 10.) " God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye crucified, both Lord and Christ," (Acts ii, 36.) "Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour." (Ibid. v. 31.) They appeal to such passages, and generally to all those in which Jesus Christ is called, not God himself, but the Son of God ; in which he is spoken of as sent, and the Father as sending, appointing him a kingdom, "giving" him authority, giv- ing him to be head over all things to the Church. Such passages, they contend,, show derived power and authority. Again, when the Son is represented as praying to the Father, and the Father as hearing and granting his prayer, how, ask they, cans the plain serious reader, resist the conviction, that he who prays is a different "being, from him to whom he prays ? Does a being pray to himself? They urge that passages like those above referred to, occurring promiscuously, aroi fair specimens of the language in which Jesus is spoken of in the New Testament;; that such is the common lauguage of the Bible, aud that it is wholly irreconcilable- with the idea that Jesus was regarded by those with whom he lived and conversed^ as the infinite and supreme God, or that the Bible was meant to teach any such doc- trine. They do not find, they say, that the deportment of the disciples and the multitudes towards Jesus, the questions they asked him, and the character of their intercourse with him, indicated any such belief on their part, or any supposition that he was the infinite Jehovah. We meet, say they, with no marks of that surprise and astonishment which they must have expressed on being first, made acquainted with the doctrine, — on being told that he who stood before them, who ate and drank with them, who slept and waked, who was capable of fatigue and sensible to pain, was in truth, the Infinite and Immutable One, the Preserver and Governor of nature. They contend that the passages generally adduced to prove the supreme deity off Jesus Christ, fail of their object; that without violence they will receive a different construction ; that such construction is often absolutely required by the language- iself, or the connexion in which it stands; that most of those passages, if carefully e amined, far from disproving, clearly show the distinct nature and inferiority of the.- Sn. To the doctrine of three persons in one God, they object again, i$& intrinsic in- credibility. They say, that they cannot receive the doctrine, because in asserting that there are three persons in the Divinity, it teaches, according to any conception they can form of the subject, that there are three beings, three minds, three conscious agents, and thus it makes three Gods, and to assert that these three are one, is a contradiction. So too with regard to the Saviour, — to affirm that the same being is both finite and infinite, man and God, they say appears to them to be a contradiction and an 16 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN* RECORD. absurdity. If Jesus Christ possessed two natures, two wills, two minds, a finite and an infinite, they maintain that he must be two persons, two beings. They do not reject the atonement in what they believe to be the scriptural mean- ing of the term. While they gratefully acknowledge the mediation of Christ, and believe that through the channel of his gospel are conveyed to them the most pre- cious blessings of a Father's mercy, they object strongly to the views frequently ex- pressed, of the connexion of the death of Christ with the forgiveness of sin. They do not believe that the sufferings of Christ were penal — designed to satisfy a princi- ple of stern justice ; for justice, say they, does not inflict suffering on the innocent in order to pardon the guilty ; and besides, they believe that God's justice is in perfect harmony with his mercy; that to separate them, even in thought, is greatly to dis- honor him. They believe that however the cross" stands connected with the forgive- ness of sin, that connexion, as before said, is to be explained by the effects wrought on man and not on God. They believe that in thus teaching they do not rob the cross of its power, nor take away from the sinner ground of hope. To the objection that sin requires an infinite atonement, and that none but an infinite being can make that atonement, they reply by saying, that they find in their Bibles not one word of this infinite atonement, and besides, that no act of a finite being, a frail, sinning child of dust, can possess a character of infinity, or merit an infinite punishment ; that it is an abuse of language so to speak; and further, that if an infinite sufferer were necessary to make due atonement for sin, no such atonement could ever be made, for infinite cannot suffer ; that God is unchangeable, and it is both absurd and impious to ascribe suffering to him ; God cannot die ; and admitting Jesus to have been God as well as man, only his human nature suffered ; that there was no infinite sufferer in the case ; that thus the theory of the infinite atonement proves a fallacy, and the whole fabric falls to the ground. Still is not the sinner left without hope, because he leans on the original and unchanging love and compassion of the Father, to whom as the prime fountain we trace back all gospel means and influences, and who is ever ready to pardon those, who through Christ and his cross are brought to repentance for sin and holi- ness of heart and life. Further, the Unitarians reply, that whatever mysterious offices the cross of Christ may be supposed to possess, beyond its natural power to affect the heart, it must owe that efficacy wholly to the divine appointment, and thus the nature and rank of the instrument become of no importance, since the omnipotence of God can endow the weakest instrument with power to produce anv effect he designs to accomplish by it. .']. The Holy Spirit. — By the Holy Spirit, they believe, is meant, not a person, but an influence: and hence it is spoken of aa "poured out," "given," and we read of the "anointing"' with the Holy Spirit, phrases, which, they contend, preclude the idea of a person. It was given miraculously to the first disciples, and gently, as the gathering dews of evening, distils upon the heart of the followers of Jesus, in all ages, helping their infirmity, ministering to their renewal, and ever strengthening and comfortiug them. It is given in answer to prayer, as Christ said : " If ye, then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him. (Luke xi, 13.) 4. Salvation. — They believe that salvation, through the gospel, is offered to all, on such terms as ail, by God's help, which he will never withhold from any who ear- nestly strive to know and do his will, and lead a pure, humble and benevolent life, have power to accept. They reject the doctrine of native total depravity. But they assert that man is born weak, and in possession of appetites and propensities, by the abuse of which all become actual sinners : and they believe in the necessity of what is figuratively ex- AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 77 pressed by the "new birth," that is, the becoming spiritual and holy, being led by that spirit of truth and love which Jesus came to introduce into the souls of his fol- lowers. This change is significantly called the coming of the kingdom in the heart, without which, as they teach, the pardon of sin, were it possible, would confer no happiness, and the songs of paradise would fall with harsh dissonance on the ear. They sometimes speak of reverence for human nature — of reverence for the soul. They reverenco it as God's work, formed for undying growth and improvement. They believe that it possesses powers capable of receiving the highest truths. They believe that God, in various ways, makes revelations of truth and duty to the human soul ; that in various ways he quickens it ; kindles in it holy thoughts and aspira- tions, and inspires it by his life-giving presence. They believe that however dark- ened and degraded, it is capable of being regenerated, renewed, by the means and influences which he provides. They believe that it is not so darkened by the fall but that some good, some power, some capacity of spiritual life, is left in it. But they acknowledge that it has need of help ; that it has need to be breathed upon by the divine Spirit. They believe that there is nothing in their peculiar mode of view- ing Christianity which encourages proscription ; encourages pride and self-exaltation. They believe that the heart which knows itself will be ever humble. They believe that they must perpetually look to God for help. They teach the necessity of prayer, and a diligent use of the means of devout culture; they do not thus teach reverence for human nature in any such sense, they think, as would countenance the idea that man is sufficient to save himself without God: they pray to him for illumination, pray that he will more and more communicate of himself to their souls. They teach the blighting consequences of sin. They believe that in the universe which God has formed, this is the only essential and lasting evil ; and that to rescue the human soul from its power, to win it back to the love of God, of truth and right, and to obedience, to a principle of enlarged benevolence which embraces every fellow-being as a brother, is the noblest work which religion can achieve, and worth all the blood and tears which were poured out by Jesus in his days of humiliation. While they earnestly inculcate the necessity of a holy heart and a pure and bene- volent life, they deny that man is to be saved by his own merit, or works, except as a condition to which the mercy of God has been pleased to annex the gift of ever- lasting life and felicity. They believe firmly in a future happiness for the righteous and in a punishment for the wicked. REFORMED PROTESTANT DUTCH CHURCH IX NORTH AMERICA. This is the oldest denomination in the United States, which adopts the Presbyte- rian form of church government. It is a branch of the national church of Holland, is formed exactly on the model of the latter, in every point, and was for noarly the first century of its existence connected with the classis of Amsterdam and the Sy- nod of North Holland. Its first church was erected in New York near the lower end of Stone street ; the second, near the water's edge, in what is now called the Battery. The latter, in process of time, was transferred to the site on which the late Garden street church stood. The church erected by Governor Stuyvesant, on his farm, or as it is styled in the Dutch, his Bowery, was, probably, the third. The first minister in New York was the Rev. Everardus Bogardus, who, after some years, became blind, and set out to return to Holland, but was shipwrecked 78 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. and drowned on the way. The next two, as nearly as can be ascertained from the imperfect records of the period, were, probably, J. and S. Megapolensis. The latter was a practising physician, as well as a minister. The churches in New Amsterdam (New York,) Albany, Flatbush, New Utrecht, Flatlands, and Esopus (near Kingston,) were organised at an early period in the his- tory of the colony of New Amsterdam ; and it is still a question which had ministers first, the church in New Amsterdam, or that in Albany. Till the capture of New Amsterdam by the British, in 1664, the Dutch Reformed Church was the church of the province, and still acknowledged its allegiance to the classis of Amsterdam and the Synod of North Holland. Affairs, however, now- gradually underwent a change. The British strove to shear the Dutch church of its importance and to make it play a secondary part in ecclesiastical matters. They openly declared their intention of establishing the .Episcopal Church in the British provinces, placing it on a civil establishment, and taxing all citizens for its support. In this they succeeded, though they failed to interrupt the prosperity and position of the Dutch church, which continued to be distinguished for its numbers, its piety and its wealth. It could not be made to give up its church edifice or its form of worship, as at the surrender of the province, the Dutch, in the treaty, had been careful to ■stipulate that the rights of conscience with regard to worship and discipline, should cot be interfered with. During this period, as new churches sprung up in the vicinity of New York, Al- bany and Esopus (Kingston,) the ministers of these old and powerful establishments claimed and exercised a superintending power over them. The young churches murmured at this, but it was contended that the discipline of the church required it, in order to prevent itinerating and strange ministers from putting forth unsound doc- trines from the Dutch Reformed pulpit, and they reluctantly acquiesced. In 1737, a movement was made to shake off in a measure the vassalage of the church in New York to the classis of Amsterdam, which hitherto had controlled it with a somewhat rigorous hand. The movement merely proposed an assembly, to be called a Coetus, for counsel, free internal intercourse, and any ecclesiastical busi- ness not inconsistent with the dependence of the church on that of Holland. A plan was drawn up, and submitted to the churches for their concurrence. The churches, in convention, adopted the plan, and it was forwarded to the Classis of Amsterdam for its ratification. The Classis took ten years to consider it, when, unable to dis- cover that the proposed Coetus did not propose to abridge one particle of its authority over the churches, it gave it its approbation. The Coetus, however, gave no satisfaction. It gave the pastors no powers ; it could not ordain ministers; it could try no cases calling for ecclessiastical investiga- tion ; it could not even settle ecclesiastical disputes, without the usual consent of the Classis of Amsterdam. Only an independent Classis could do this, and an inde- pendent Classis was by many proposed and resolved upon. This proposition instantly created a storm, which rushed to its surface, the church divided into two parties — the Conference and the Coetus. The one furiously oppos- ing the proposition, the other as strenuously advocating it. "Whatl " cried the Conferenties, '"shall we throw off the care and paternal super- vision of the Classis of Amsterdam ? Shall we venture to ordain ministers ? Shall we set up ourselves as judges ? Where can we get such learned ministers as those from Holland ? And can any of us judge of their fitness, and learning, and piety?" On the contrary, the Coetus party appealed to their brethren on the necessity of having youth trained here for the ministry. " We must have academies and a col- lege. The English language is advancing on us ; we must have a ministry to preach in English, or our youth will abandon us in a body. And the expense of sending for ministers is becoming oppressive ; not to speak of the great expense and priva- AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 79 tion sustained by us who are parents, in sending our sons to Holland to be educated, so as to be able to preach in Dutch. And you all know," they added, " how many years have sometimes elapsed, between the time of a call sent to fatherland, and the coming of a pastor ; and sometimes churches have been disappointed entirely. None have responded to their call. And even, in certain cases, some ministers have come out who were not only unpopular, but absolutely disagreeable. Is it not unendur- able that the churches should have no choice of their pastor ? Men accustomed to a national church and its high-handed measures have come among us, who have, of c nurse, views and habits entirely different from those of our fellow-citizens and Christians in Holland. Need we remind you of the distractions and divisions caused by these obstinate men, who, instead of harmonizing with the people, and winning their confidence, have imprudently opposed them, and rendered their ministry odious and unsuccessful? Besides, is it not humiliating and degrading to these churches, and to us all, that we should be deprived of the power of ordaining minis- ters ? And we must send abroad for ministers, as if none here were fit to minister in holy things ? It is an imputation on our sons ; it is an imputation on us, in the ministry here ; as if they were unfit for the holy work, and as if we had only half of the ministerial office ! We declare this bondage to be no longer tolerable, and it ought no longer to be endured." " Such," says Dr. Brownlee, "was the bold language now used by the Coetus party, both ministers and laymen. And as a goodly number had, by the permission of the Chassis of Amsterdam, been ordained by special favor, all these, to a man, took a bold stand against this dependence on Holland. They never felt that attachment to the classis, which bound down, in slavish attachment, those whom it had sent out hither. They had no prejudices ; they saw the painful grievances under which their fathers smarted ; and they felt the power of the arguments and appeals so urgently pressed by all, to seek an independent ecclesiastical jurisdiction of their own. They spoke out with warmth on the subject. They even ventured to charge the church of their forefathers with injustice to the ministry here, and actual tyranny over them. They withheld what Christ, never authorized them to withhold from the true ministry. They demanded of her to do them and herself justice, by conveying to them all the powers of the ministry, which she had received, as it respected doctrine, and sacra- ments, and discipline. "All these appeals made a most powerful impression on the people. Many churches came over to their measures ; and even a few of the European ministers candidly acceded. And they no longer concealed their fixed determination to com- mence a system of measures to withdraw these American churches from this abject subordination to the Classis of Amsterdam, and the Synod of North Holland. " This plan was matured in 1754. In the Coetus of the preceding year, a motion had been entertained to amend the plan of the Ccetus, by converting it into a regular classis, with all its proper powers. A plan was drafted for this purpose ; adopted with great unanimity by those present ; and formally transmitted to the churches for their concurrence. . " Upon this there commenced a scene of animosity, division, and actual violence, compared to which, all the other wranglings were utterly nothing. It was the be- ginning of a war waged for fifteen years with unmitigated fury ! The Conferentie party met and organized themselves into a firm body of opposition in 1755. The Ccetus party embraced all the rest, whose names are given in a preceding note, with the exception of the above names. These formed two hostile bodies, resolutely pitted against each other, and apparently resolved never to yield. The peace of neighbour- hoods was disturbed ; families were divided ; churches torn by factions. Houses of worship were locked up by one faction against the other. Tumults and disgraceful scenes frequently occm-red on the holy Sabbath, and at the doors of churches. Mm- 80 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORfi. isters were occasionally assaulted in the very pulpit ; and sometimes the solemn wof- ship of God was disturbed, and actually terminated by mob-violence. On both sides, a furious zeal prompted many to shameful excesses, and a most painful disgrace of the Christian name. "The more modern and prudent deplored these evils and growing mischiefs, but they could rind no remedy. No individual, no body of Christian men, was found to act as mediator. The two parties would listen to no overtures. Humble Christians wept over the revolting scenes, and the impending ruin of their church ; hope de- serted their fainting hearts; and many of them retired from such unhallowed scenes, to the bosom of a peaceful and Christian communion in other churches. " The Conferentie party called in the aid of the Holland Church. They addressed a letter to the Classis of Amsterdam in 1755; a second one in 1756; a third in 1760 ; a fourth in 1761. In these they uttered their inflammatory complaints, that the American churches were attempting to throw off their snbmission to their lawful authority, and to form an independent body, with powers equal to those of the mother church I And in reply to these, too many of the ministers of that church lent their aid to foment fresh troubles, and defeat the efforts of the church to become iudependent of them. " "When this violent schism took place, the two parties of Ccetus and Conferentie were nearly equal in point of numbers. But there was a marked difference in their character, and the spirit of their preaching. The Conferentie pastors were men of greater learning, but they were cold, and heavy, and spiritless. Their discourses had more of the air of a professor's lecture from the chair, than of a popular and heart-stirring address to a mixed audience. The Coetus party were zealous, ardent, practical in their popular addresses, and indefatigable in their pastoral duties. Hence they soon had the mass of the pious people with them, who applauded and sustained them in their trials and labors of love, while the unsound and heartless vehemently opposed them. " During this period, another painful source of difficulties occurred, which caused to the church the loss of many most valuable families — the introduction of preaching in English in the churches. The English had been for a century, the language of the government, its officers, and influential men. It was evident to the great mass of the Dutch youth, that it must, in the issue, be the language of the country. Causes were tried in English — all the pleadings were in English. The youth mingled with increasing multitudes of youth, who spoke nothing but English ; and the best educa- tion in the city, and in the neighbouring colleges, was all conducted in English. Hence the youth of both sexes labored to be master of English. In the progress of years, the great body of youth could not understand a sermon in Dutch. They de- manded English preaching. All the more prudent, and all who, by. a wise forecast, saw the utter desertion of the Dutch churches by the youth, in the course of another generation at least, unless English preaching were introduced, united their efforts with the youth, and urged the necessity of having English preaching forthwith, as well as Dutch preachiug. This was long and keenly resisted. But the venerable consistory of the church of New York were constrained at lasj; to yield. For they loved their church, they loved their dear children ; and they saw- many of them already gone to other denominations, where they could understand the speakers. " The members of the Coetus party had, in view of forming an independent eccle- siastical constitution, for some time turned their earnest attention to the establish- ment of a seminary, for the education of the future ministry at home. And they had communicated this intention to the Classis of Amsterdam. Dr. Livingston, being at that time in Holland, pursuing his studies, had entered zealously into the plan of pro- moting this double project. He had gained the approbation of many of the principal AitERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 81 ministers in Holland, to the purpose of forming an ecclesiastical constitution in Ame- rica, similar to that of fatherland. This consent, it seems, was sought and gained, in order, if possible, to induce the brethren of the Conference to unite with them in the enterprise ; for they would do nothing without that consent. And this consent of the enlightened ministers of Holland prescribed an express condition, which was pre- cisely what the brethren of the Ccetus wished for, and anticipated. It was expressly required that the American church should proceed to make an immediate and ade- quate provision for a theological professorate. For they assured the American brethren that they could not maintain any relation with a church, who neglected to secure a thorough education for the youth, seeking the holy ministry. Yet even this did not conciliate the Conferentie. . They utterly opposed every plan which would cut off their dependence on Holland, or would go to introduce any ministers but those educated in fatherland, in Dutch ! " Several schemes were proposed. One was, that a local union should be formed on the part of the Ccetus with the flourishing college of Princeton. This seemed to be the first and favorite scheme of Dr. Livingston, while he was in Holland, in con- sequence of a consultation he had with the venerable Dr. Witherspoon, at that time on a visit to Holland, previously to his coming to Princeton. This was opposed by the Ccetus, and also by the Classis of Amsterdam. Another plan was, to have a theo- logical professorship in King's college, now Columbia college, in New York. This was objected to by both parties. The Ccetus, speaking the sentiment of the great body of the people, said, " No, we shall be independent of Holland, and of every other body here. We must have a college and a theological school of our own." And with a noble and pious resolution, they gained their grand object. A college was founded called 'Queen's College,' after the queen of King George III., a High-Dutch princess, who, it was understood, would kindly patronize it. The charter of this col- lege was dated in 1710 ; and it was ' instituted for the education of the youth in the learned languages, the liberal and useful arts and sciences, and especially in divinity.' " This noble step in the advancement of the church, which ought to have been hailed by every friend of the Dutch church, was the signal for a fresh outburst of the war of opposition on the part of the brethren of the Conferentie ; and to such an ex- tent was this unnatural war carried on in the bosom of the church, that it began to excite alarm for the very existence of the Dutch Church." At length, a better day arrived. Dr. Livingston, whose correspondents in New- York had kept him advised of the state of affairs, lost no opportunity of engaging the whole influence of his friends in Holland, to put an end to these most unnatural and painful scenes. He was convinced that the brethren of the Conferentie would yield readily to what the Classis of Amsterdam would enjoin on them. Hence his first object was to induce the North Synod to appoint that classis the standing com- mittee, with full powers to transact the affairs of the American church. He waited on that synod at its meeting at Edam, in 1169, and, through the influence of pro- minent members, he gained his point without any opposition. ''Having thus got the whole power into the hands of that classis, his next object was to prevail with the classis to accede to the plan proposed by the Ccetus. He placed before them the arguments employed for years by those brethren here, and urged on them the necessity of giving the church here the power to ordain as well as educate her own ministry. He succeeded completely. For such were the candor, the piety, and the liberal views of the Holland ministers, when the whole matters in controversy were fairly and fully set before them, that they no longer resisted the most righteous claims. A liberal plan was arranged : general principles were ad- opted to remove the existing difficulties ; to conciliate the contending parties ; to take measures to provide a well-educated ministry ; and secure the necessary and unshackled right to license and ordain their own ministers. 6 8i5 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. Having finished his studies, and taken the degree of Doctor in Divinity after a rigid examination, Dr. Livingston returned home in 1770, and accepted the call pre- sented to him from the Collegiate Church. He lost no time in gradually winning over influential and good men to the plan of conciliation, which he had brought with him. In 1771 he induced the consistory of his church to call a convention The fraternal call was promptly responded to, and in October, 1771, the convention met in New York. It was a full meeting, and it displayed a kind temper and evangelical spirit. Ministers and elders there met in cordiality, who had not met nor spoken to each other for years 1 "The first business was to appoint a large committee of the most distinguished per- sons to mature a plan of union and church government. The committee was a mo3t judicious one ; it consisted of six ministers and as many elders. "As soon as this committee met, Dr. Livingston laid before them the plan which he had brought with him from Holland, and which he had hitherto shown to no one The scheme embraced three important objects; First, the internal arrangements church government, and all the usual powers of classis. Second, the measures best calculated to heal all animosities and divisions. Third, the conducting of a corres- pondence with the parent church of Holland. It met with the kindest reception in the committee. After a few additions and amendments were proposed, it was adopt- ed, and brought forward to the convention. Here it was again fully discussed with the best feelings. The members on each side seemed to vie with the other in ap- plauding it ; and finally it was adopted without one dissenting vote ! It now only needed the final approbation of the Classis of Amsterdam. Accordingly, it was transmitted to them. And the convention adjourned, to m6et in October, 1772, to receive their final answer. That answer came, conveying to their dear American brethren the fullest and most perfect approbation of the union, and all the measures adopted, and concluded with their fervent prayers for the prosperity of the American church. The convention heard the letter with emotions of joy and gratitude, and it was with the greatest cordiality signed by every member of the meeting, while they praised G-od for the happy consummation ! The establishment of a college now occupied the earnest attention of the united and peaceful church, and particularly to secure a theological professor. But from the date of their charter to the close of the war of the revolution, little was done for the furtherance of an object so dear to the church. This was on account of the poverty of the country, and deplorable calamities of the war. Besides, many were inclined to keep the theological professorate distinct from the college: And others being afraid to stir up old animosities, as the college was the child of the Ccetus party, and always opposed by the other party, sustained them in this timorous policy. Hence the convention in 1774, in urging on the measure for the professorate, kept the new college out of view. In like manner the convention, as such, that met ml 784, took no decided steps to organize the college. But letters having been re- ceived from Holland, in reply to their petition for a suitable professor, with strong recommendations from the classis, and from the faculty of Utrecht, in favor of Dr. Livingston, he was unanimously elected to the professorate, and entered immediately on the duties thereof. "In this distinguished convention, considerable progress was made in ecclesiastical organization, At the adoption of the articles of union in 1771, the convention of which Dr. Livingston was president, had before them the entire model of the govern- ment of the Church of Holland. Yet for some particular reasons, they simply de- nominated their conventions " the particular and the general assembly." But the convention of 1784, resolved to distinguish these assemblies by the names usually given to such judicatories. At first "the particular assembly" was called "a classis," and "the general assembly," a "particular synod." UrFTKICAy CHRISTIAN RECORD. 83 "At the commencement of the war of the revolution, there were about eighty chur- ches in New York state : these were divided into three particular assemblies, or classes ; in New Jersey there were forty churches : these were formed into two classes. These met twice in the year. The particular synod was a delegated body, consisting of two pastors and two elders, from each classis, and met once a year. And it was now also for the first time resolved to have a third assembly, to be called "the general synod." This court was held in 1792. It consisted, at first, of all the ministers of the church, with an elder from each congregation, and it met each third year. Some years afterwards, when the churches had multiplied greatly, it was made a delegated body, each classis nominating three bishops and three elders as their representatives ; the nomination to be confirmed by each of two particular synods to which the classes belonged. And this court met, and still meets annually. "In 1784, the trustees, with a laudable zeal, made an attempt to resuscitate the college, called Queen's College, at New Brunswick. It went into operation under the superintendence of the venerable Dr. Hardenberg, its first president, who was as eminent a ripe scholar as a profound theologian. But for want of funds, caused by the general distress pervading this young nation, just come out of the war of the re- volution ; and also for want of an adequate faculty to co-operate with its distinguished president, and its able professor of the languages, Dr. Taylor ; it gradually declined, and had at last to be suspended for a season. "In 1807, the efforts of these devoted and persevering friends of literature were more successful. The old building was unsightly and inconvenient, and they pro- ceeded, with great industry and perseverance, to collect funds for a suitable struc- ture. In 1809 they laid the foundation of the present beautiful edifice, on a com- manding eminence, overlooking the city of New Brunswick. " One thing was yet necessary to the success of the college, and that was attained in 1807. The trustees entered into a covenant with the general synod of the Dutch Church ; uniting their mutual interests and funds, giving the college the whole influ- ence and patronage of the church, and placing the theological professorate in con- nection with the college ; but yet, in such a manner, that the college is not made by any means, a sectarian institution. In conformity with this covenant, Dr. LrvrNG- bton, the synod's theological professor, was elected professor in the college, and offi- ciated as the active President ; the Governor of the State being then ex officio, the nominal President. But in 1816, a suspension of the college exercises was caused by the exhaustion of its literary funds. This suspension continued unto 1825. Then was it revived with great spirit, and with a faculty. And it continues in successful operation to this day. Since its late organization, the college at New Brunswick, hitherto known as Queen's College, has been named Rutger's College, after the name of its munificent patron, Col. Rutgers, who was a gallant revolutionary officer, and an eminent man of God, in the church." The Form of Government of the denomination is much like that of the Presbyte- rians. The primary court is called the Consistory (styled in the Presbyterian church a session), and has three offices — ministers (or bishops), elders, and deacons. Pastors and elders meet as a spiritual court to examine and receive members, exercise disci- pline, &c. Deacons meet statedly, to make provision for the poor and distributions. The consistory, composed of the pastor, elders, and deacons, meets for the transac- tion of all temporal business relating to their own church. On important occasions, such as that of calling a minister, the grand consistory is called. This is composed of those who have been at any time elders and deacons in the church. The next court is the Classis, corresponding to the "presbytery " in the Presbyte- rian, and the " association " in the Baptist church. This is composed of a minister and an elder from each distinct church under the care of the classis. The next court is the Particular Synod. Of these there are two — the Synod of 84 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. New York, and the Synod of Albany, or the Southern and Northern Synods. The Particular Synod consists of two ministers and two elders from each classis within its bounds. The highest court, from which there is no appeal, is the General Synod. It is com- posed of three ministers and three elders from each classis throughout the entire church. It meets annually. Elders are chosen to serve for two years. If found faithful, they are again eligible after having been out of office one year. Form of Worship. — 1. The reading of the Ten Commandments ; 2. A hymn ; 3. Prayer ; 4. A hymn ; 5. Sermon ; 6.

The Christian Intelligencer, the organ of the Dutch Reformed Church, is a large and noble sheet, edited with unusual ability, and has among its regular contributors, the ablest pens, not only of the denomination but of the United States. The General Synod publishes a monthly Sabbath School paper, and a Confession of Faith, with which is "bound the psalms and hymns, the discipline, and various formulas of prayers. It is a rule of the church that each pastor shall lecture on a section of the Heidel- berg Catechism, in the afternoon of the Sabbath, so as to go through the whole in a definite time. The design is to secure doctrinal preaching, in a regular course, from year to year, The Doctrine6 of the Dutch Reformed church are the same, precisely, as those ex- pressed in the Thirty-nine Articles of the Protestant Episcopal Church, with some few exceptions ; such, for instance, as that in relation to church government, which ^s characterised by diocesan bishops. The denomination receives as its creed the Confession of Faith, as revised in the National Synod of the Council of Dort, in 1618 and 1619 ; with the Heidelberg Catechism ; the compend of the Christian religion ; the canons of the Council of Dort on the famous Five Points, viz: 1. Predestination; 2. Definite Atonement of Christ; 3 and 4. Man's Entire Corruption and Helpless- ness, and his Conversion by God's Grace alone; 5. Perseverance of the Saints in Grace. The churches of the denomination are mostly confined to the States of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, and Iowa. The Confession of Faith of this denomination is the same as that of the German Reformed Church.

From the time of the first congregations of the latter in America, in 1607, to the close of the Revolution in 1783, all the clergy in the colo- nies were regarded as under the supervision of the Bishop of London. Thus, for more than a hundred and seventy years the Protestant Episcopal Church in America was without any authorised power to confer holy orders, and without ability to ad» mit to the communion by confirmation. Thus shorn of its ordinances, crippled in the exercise of its legitimate functions, and beset by hostile sects on every side, it had to make its way under every discouragement and disadvantage. " But this anomal- ous state of affairs," says a historian, "was not unobserved, nor permitted without an effort to remedy the evil. As early as 1638, the Archbishop of Canterbury de- signed sending a bishop to New England, but was prevented by the troubles in Scot- land. After the restoration of Charles the Second a patent was made out for the con- secration of Dr. Alexander Murray, Bishop of Virginia. But the plan was defeated by the Ministry. From that time to the Revolution, the need of bishops in America formed the letter-theme of every devoted missionary in the colonies. The Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts took up the subject, and in 1713 seemed likely to accomplish the object ; but the death of Queen Anne frustrated this effort also. Still the plan was kept alive, and in 1715 Archbishop Tenison bequeathed £1000 for the support of bishops in the colonies. In 1723, Rev. Robert Welton and Rev. John Talbot were consecrated bishops for the American Church by the non-juring bishop of Scotland, and immediately sailed for America. But the British government would not allow bishops not ordained in England to officiate in the colo- nies, and Dr. Welton was ordered to return again to England, and Mr. Talbot shortly died, so that this effort likewise proved abortive. The subject was now pressed anew in England, and the Bishop of London decided to consecrate his suffra- gan, the Rev. Mr. Colebatch, and send him to officiate in the colonies ; but the latter was forbidden by the court to leave the kingdom. The Society for Propagating the Gospel was cast down at this unlooked for result ; but, it was not dismayed, and it continued to struggle for an American episcopate, in which it was seconded by nearly every bishop in England. Colonial Episcopalians too, petitioned, in all their strength. But all was to no purpose. The court politicians, under the influence of the dis- senters, who were active and united in their opposition, while the mass of the Epis- copalians were either ignorant or indifferent to the whole matter, were not to be moved. And it was not until the colonies had dared to assert and defend their in- dependence that the government could be made to see their prayers were worthy of attention. Nor was even this enough to arouse it to action. For when, in 1783, the Rev. Samuel Seabury was sent to England for consecration as Bishop of Connecticut, Parliament refused to grant authority to the bishops to consecrate a bishop for an in- dependent country. After waiting patiently for ten months without any prospect of .success, Mr. Seabury was ordered to proceed to Scotland for consecration, which he there experienced no difficulty in obtaining, the Scotch bishops not being trammeled by their union with the State. The aspect of affairs was now changed. A bishop was already in America, and no difficulty was found in obtaining the requisite power and authority for the Eng- lish bishops to consecrate Doctors White and Provoost, and subsequently Doctor Madison, for the American church. "And," concludes the pious churchman, from whom we take this account, " though Bishop Seabury was not permitted by divine Providence to be present and assist at the consecration of but a single bishop, yet 86 AMERICAS CHRISTIAN RECORD, every bishop of this church can trace his succession through him and the Scottish.- line, and through Bishop White and the English line." The different episcopal parishes throughout the United States are united by a con- stitution, which provides for a general convention once in three years, at some place previously determined, in which the church in each State or diocese is represented by lay and clerical delegates chosen by the State convention. Every diocese has an annual convention of its own for discussing and regulating its local affairs. At the general convention each order of representatives has one vote, and the concurrence of both is necessary to an act. The bishops of the church form a separate house, and are empowered to originate measures for the concurrence of the house of delegates ; and when any proposed act passes the house of delegates, it is sent to the house of bishops : so that the consent of both houses is requisite to the passage of any act. The church is governed by canons framed by this assembly. Church offices are three — bishops, priests (or presbyters,) and deacons. A bishop cannot be consecrated until he is thirty years of age ; a priest, till he is twenty-four; a deacon, till he is twenty-one. No bishop can have authority over other bishops ; though every bishop is respon- sible to those holding the same office, as the parts of a body must always be respon- sible to the whole. To bishops, in this church, belong the exclusive right of confer- ring episcopal or apostolical authority upon others, by ordination or consecration ; ordaining presbyters and deacons ; of confirming those who have been baptised, by prayer and laying on of hands, thereby publicly receiving them to the communion of the church ; of ruling over presbyters and deacons ; of administering the discipline of the church; to preside in all councils of the church, and declare the judgment of the same The power and duties of priests or presbyters, held in common with and to be ex- ercised under the direction of the bishops, are — to teach the people by expounding the Scriptures; to rule in particular congregations and administer discipline therein; to watch over and direct the conduct of those over whom they are placed; and to give their concurrence to the ordination of presbyters by laying on hands with the bishop. The duties of deacons, to be performed under the direction of the bishop and his presbyters, are — to receive and distribute the alms of the church ; to baptise ; to preach, when specially licensed therefor ; to assist their superiors in administering the discipline of the church ; and to sit in councils at the formation of rules and canons for the government and regulation of the church. A deacon who has satis- factorily exercised his office for a year or more, has received a call to the rectorship of some parish, or to the performance of other appropriate clerical duty, and has received the testimonial of one presbyter and a competent number of laymen, that, for a given time preceding, he has lived honestly, piously, and soberly, has not, to their knowledge or belief, held or taught any doctrines contrary to God's word, as received and believed in that church, and has performed the duties of deacon satis- factorily, may be admitted to the priesthood. Before a presbyter can be consecrated a bishop, he must, as already stated, have arrived at the age of thirty ; been elected by a majority of the clergy and laity of the diocese where he is to officiate, and received from the body electing him, testimonials declaring that they believe him to be of sufficient learning, of sound faith, of virtuous and pure manners, of godly conversation, not justly liable to evil report, apt and meet to exercise the office to the honor of God and the edifying of his church, and that he will be a wholesome example to the flock of Christ. He must also have a similar testimonial from a majority of the clergy and laity composing the house of delegates in General Convention, or from the standing committees of a majority of the dioceses in the union ; and, finally, be ordained by at least three bishops. AttERICAtf CHRISTIAN RECORD. 3? Parishes have the power of meeting at such times and places as they may deem expedient; of regulating the internal concerns of the parish; of choosing their own officers ; of levying such taxes as they desire ; of choosing delegates to the dioce- san convention, when they have been admitted into union with it ; and of calling and dismissing their minister or rector, subject to the approval of the bishop. No clergyman can become the rector of any parish, until its union with the con- vention, and cannot properly officiate in any such parish except as a missionary. No minister can be sent to officiate in any parish without a call from the same, except as a missionary ; and no missionary can be sent into a parish where there is a rector. Dioceses.— All the parishes within certain local limits, generally that of a state, when associated together, form a diocese. Each diocese holds an annual convention] composed of all rectors of parishes, and ministers performing certain other clerical duties, and of one or more lay delegates from every parish in union with the con- vention. This body elects the bishop of the diocese, and presents him for trial ; chooses a standing committee, which is a council of advice to the bishop ; deter- mines how ecclesiastical offences shall be tried ; appoints delegates to the 'general convention ; and whatever else may be deemed expedient for the cause of religion and the church, not inconsistent with the constitution and canons of the general con- vention. Both clergy and laity meet and deliberate in one body, but when divided, vote separately, a majority of each being requisite to any enactment. The delegates to the general convention are composed of an equal number of clergy and laity, never exceeding four each, from a diocese, the members of which are nominated by its owa order, and approved by the convention. General Convention.— All Protestant Episcopal churches in the United States, are associated in one national body called the General Convention, which meets trien- nially. This body is composed of two houses— the House of Bishops, including the bishops of all the dioceses in the country, and the House of Clerical and Lay Depu- ties. The clergy and laity, composing the House of Deputies, meet and deliberate to- gether; but, when required, vote separately, and sometimes by dioceses. The General Convention directs the manner in which the qualifications of candi- dates for orders shall be estimated and determined; regulates the particulars in regard to the election and ordination of the orders of the ministry ; defines the nature of ecclesiastical offences, and decrees the punishment thereof; settles the particular form and orders of its common prayer, aud publishes authorized editions of the Book of Common Prayer ; and directs the mode and manner of its intercourse with foreign churches. In all cases, the House of Bishops has a negative upon the House of Deputies ; but when exercised must be communicated, within a limited time to that House. No law or canon can be enacted without the concurrence of both-clergy and laity ; no man can be introduced into the sacred office without testimonials from both orders; no clergyman be sent to minister where he may not choose to go; no parish be required to receive or continue a clergyman obnoxious to a majority of the parish- ioners ; no man be punished for any offence not clearly defined by the laws of the church, nor in any manner but in that prescribed by the same, and never without an opportunity of a trial by his peers. The salaries of the clergy are determined by the mutual agreement of minister and people. 8S AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. GENERAL HISTORY.

THE XXXIX ARTICLES OP RELIGION, As established by the Bishops, the Clergy, and Laity of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, in Convention, on the Twelfth Day of September, in the year of our Lord 1801. Article 1. Of Faith in tJie Holy Trinity.— There is but one living and true God, everlasting, without body, parts, or passions ; of infinite power, wisdom, and good- ness; the Maker and -Preserver of all things, both visible and invisible. And in unity of this Godhead, there be three persons, of one substance, power, and eternity ■ the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. ' _ Art. 2. Of the Word, or Son of God, which was made very Man.— The Son, which is the Word of the Father, begotten from everlasting of the Father, the very and eternal God, of one substance with the Father, took man's nature in the womb of the blessed Virgin, of her substance ; so that two whole and perfect natures, that is to say, the Godhead and Manhood, were joined together in one person, never to be divided, whereof is one Christ, very God and very Man ; who truly suffered, was crueified, dead and buried, to reconcile his Father to us, and to be a sacrifice, not only for original guilt, but also for actual sins of men. Art. 3. Of the going down of Christ into Hell— As Christ died for us, and was buried ; so also is it to be believed that he went down into hell. Art. 4. Of the Resurrection of Christ— Christ did truly rise again from death, and took again his body, with flesh, bones, and all things appertaining to the perfection of man s nature, wherewith he ascended into Heaven, and there sitteth, until he re- turn to judge all men at the last day. Art. 5. Oftlie Holy Ghost.— The Holy Ghost, proceeding from the Father and the Son, is of one substance, majesty and glory with the Father and the Son, very and eternal God. ' J 92 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. Art. 6. Of t\e Sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures for Salvation. — Holy Scripture^ containeth all things necessary to salvation : so that whatsoever is not read therein, nor may be proved thereby, is not to be required of any man, that it should be be- lieved as an article of the faith, or be thought requisite or necessary to salvation. In the name of the Holy Scripture we do understand those Canonical Books of the Old and New Testament, of whose authority was never and doubt in the church. Of the Names and Number of Canonical Books — Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numeri, Deuteronomium, Joshue, Judges, Euth, the First Book of Samuel, the Second Book of Samuel, the First Book of Kings, the Second Book of Kings, the First Book of Chronicles, the Second Book of Chronicles, the First Book of Esdras, the Second Book of Esdras, the Book of Hester, the Book of Job, the Psalms, the Proverbs, Ecclesiastes or Preacher, Cantica or Songs of Solomon, Four Prophets the greater, Twelve Prophets the less. And the other Books (as Hierome saith) the Church doth read for example of life, and instruction of manners ; but yet it doth not apply them to establish any doctrine ; such are these following : The Third Book of Esdras, the Fourth Book of Esdras, the Book of Tobias, the Book of Judith, the rest of the Book of Hester, the Book of Wisdom, Jesus the Son of Sirach, Baruch the Prophet, the Song of the Three Children, the Story of Susanna, of Bel and the Dragon, the Prayer of Manasses, the First Book of Maccabees, the Second Book of Maccabees. All the Books of the New Testament, as they are commonly received, we do re- ceive and account them Canonical. Art. 1. Of the Old Testament. — The Old Testament is not contrary to the New, for both in the Old and New Testament everlasting life is offered to mankind by Christ, who is the only Mediator between God and man, being both God and man. "Wherefore they are not to be heard, which feign, that the old fathers did look only for transitory promises. Although the Law given from God by Moses, as touching ceremonies and rites, do not bind Christian men, nor the civil precepts thereof ought of necessity to be received in any commonwealth ; yet, notwithstanding, no Christian man whatsoever is free from the obedience of the commandments which are called moral. Art. 8. Of the Creeds. — The Nicene Creed, and that which is commonly called the Apostles' Creed, ought thoroughly to be received and believed ; for they may be proved by most certain warrants of Holy Scripture. Art. 9. Of Original or Birth Sin. — Original sin standeth not in the following of Adam (as the Pelagians do vainly talk) ; but it is the fault and corruption of the nature of every man that naturally is engendered of the offspring of Adam, whereby man is very far gone from original righteousness, and is of his own nature inclined to evil, so that the flesh lusteth always contrary to the Spirit ; and, therefore, in every person born into this world, it deserveth God's wrath and damnation. And this in- fection of nature doth remain, yea, in them that are regenerated ; whereby the lust of the flesh is not subject to the law of God. And, although there is no condemna- tion for them that believe and are baptized ; yet, the Apostle doth confess, that con cupiscence and lust hath of itself the nature of sin. Art. 10. Of Free Will — The condition of man after the fall of Adam, is sue1 * that he cannot turn and prepare himself, by his own natural strength and goo ' works, to faith, and calling upon God; wherefore, we have no power to do god works, pleasant and acceptable to God, without the grace of God by Christ prevent- ing us, that we may have a good will, and working with us when we have that good will. Art. 11. Of the Justification of Man. — We are accounted righteous before God, only for the merit of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, by faith ; and not for our own works or deservings. "Wherefore, that we are justified by faith only, is a most AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 93 wholesome doctrine, and very full of comfort is as more largely expressed, in the Homily of Justification. Art. 12. Of Good Works. — Albeit that good works, which are the fruits of faith, and follow after justification, cannot put away our sins, and endure the severity of God's judgment ; yet are they pleasing and acceptable to God in Christ, and do spring out necessarily of a true and lively faith; insomuch that by them a lively faith may be as evidently known, as a tree discerned by the fruit. Art. 13. Of Works before Justification. — Works done before the grace of Christ, and the inspiration of his Spirit, are not pleasant to God, forasmuch as they spring not of faith in Jesus Christ, neither do they make men meet to receive grace, or (as the school authors say) deserve grace of congruity ; yea, rather, for that they are not done as God hath willed and commanded them to be done, we doubt not but they have the nature of sin. Art. 14. Of Works of Supererogation. — Voluntary works, besides over and above God's Commandments, which they call works of supererogation, cannot be taught without arrogancy and impiety. For by them men do declare, that they do not only render unto God as much as they are bound to do, but that they do more for his sake than of bounden duty is required : Whereas Christ saith plainly, "When ye have done all that are commanded to you, say, we are unprofitable servants." Art. 15. Of Christ alone without sin. — Christ in the truth of our nature, was made like unto us in all things, sin only except, from which he was clearly void, both in his flesh and in his spirit. He came to be a Lamb without spot, who by sac- rifice of himself once made, should take away the sins of the world ; and sin (as St. John saith) was not in him. But all we the rest (although baptized and born again in Christ) yet offend in many things ; and if we say we have no sin, we deceive our- selves, and the truth is not in us. Art. 16. Of Sin after Baptism. — Not every deadly sin, willingly committed after baptism, is sin against the Holy Ghost, and unpardonable. Wherefore, the grant of repentance is not to be denied to such as fall into sin after baptism. After we have received the Holy Ghost, we may depart from grace given, and fall into sin, and by the grace of God (we may) arise again, and amend our lives. And, therefore, they are to be condemned, which say, they can no more sin as long as they live here, or deny the place of forgiveness to such as truly repent. Art. 17. Of Predestination and Election. — Predestination to life is the everlasting purpose of God, whereby (before the foundations of the world were laid) he hath constantly decreed, by his counsel, secret to us, to deliver from curse and damnation, those whom he hath chosen in Christ out of mankind, and to bring them by Christ to everlasting salvation, as vessels made to honor. Wherefore they, which he en- dued with so excellent a benefit of God, be called according to God's purpose, by his Spirit working in due season : they, through grace, obey the calling : they be justified freely : they be made sons of God by adoption : they be made like the image of His only begotten Son Jesus Christ : they walk religiously in good works ; and at length, by God's mercy, they attain to everlasting felicity. As the godly consideration of predestination and our election in Christ, is full of sweet, pleasant, and unspeakable comfort to godly persons, and such as feel in them- selves the working of the Spirit of Christ, mortifying the works of the flesh and their earthly members, and drawing up their mind to high and heavenly things, as well because it doth greatly establish and confirm their faith of eternal salvation, to be enjoyed through Christ, as because it doth fervently kindle their love towards God ; so, for curious and carnal persons, lacking the Spirit of Christ, to have continually before their eyes the sentence of God's predestination, is a most dangerous downfall, whereby the devil doth thrust them either into desperation, or into wretchedness of most unclean living, no less perilous than desperation. Furthermore, we must receive God's promises in such wise as they be generally 94 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. ^MSMK**? * ™ ^-™ey are law or sect which he professeth s ?Xt hf& !. r "T7 "?aD sM1 be saTed b7 «* that law, and the lighfo7nature ° t'j* SllS ** * aOCOrdta« *> name of Jesus Christ, whereby men must be saved °Ut Unt° US "^ the •^A^^Sft^T^SiSSS °f C,hri,st is a congregation of duly ministered according £ ^Christ's ordtatce In ".C*8^^ "f sa«™»ts »» are requisite to the same ordinance, 111 ad those things that of necessity Oh^oV^hlSufSo^^t^^^ erred' -■ ** *e also in matters of faith 7 eir hvmg and manner of ceremonies, but for the church to ordain anything thaffc rontarv ?o O A< 4 /et " * n0t lawM may it expound one place of Sori^ureth.tiM-.lT7 G°ds Word writteni either though the church be a wle™ and a keeper of Sv Trit *T *?

And in such only as worthily receive the game, they have a wholesome effect or operation : but they that receive them un- worthily, purchase to themselves damnation, as St. Paul saith. Art. 26. Of the ten-worthiness of the Ministers, which hinders not the effect of the Sacraments. — Although in the visible church the evil be ever mingled with the good, and sometime the evil have chief authority in the ministration of the word and sacra ments; yet, forasmuch as they do not the same in their own name, but in Christ's and do minister by" his commission and authority, we may use their ministry, both in hearing the word of God, and in receiving the sacraments. Neither is the effect of Christ's ordinance taken away by their wickedness, nor the grace of God's gifts diminished from such, as by faith, and rightly, do receive the sacraments ministered unto them, which be effectual, because of Christ's institution and promise, although they be ministered by evil men. Nevertheless, it appertaineth to the discipline of the Church, that inquiry be made of evil ministers, and that they be accused by those that have knowledge of their offences : and finally, being found guilty, by just judgment, be deposed. Art. 27. Of Baptism, — Baptism is not only a sign of profession, and mark of difference, whereby Christian men are discerned from others that be not christened ; but it is also a sign of regeneration, or new birth, whereby, as by an instrument, they that receive Baptism rightly are grafted into the church : the promises of the forgiveness of sin, and of our adoption to be the sons of God by the Holy Ghost, are visibly signed and sealed : faith is confirmed, and grace increased by virtue of prayer unto God. The baptism of young children is in any wise to be retained in the church as most agreeable with the institution of Christ. Art. 28. Of the Lord's Supp>er. — The Supper of the Lord is not only a sign of the love that Christians ought to have among themselves one to another ; but rather it is a sacrament of our redemption by Christ's death : insomuch that to such as rightly, worthily, and with faith receive the same, the bread which wo break is a partaking of the body of Christ ; and likewise the cup of blessing, is a partaking of the blood of Christ. Transubstantiation (or the change of the substance of bread and wine) in the sup- per of the Lord, cannot be proved by Holy Writ ; but it is repugnant to the plain words of scripture, overthroweth the nature of a sacrament, and hath given occasion to many superstitions. The body of Christ is given, taken and eaten in the supper, only after an heavenly and spiritual manner. And the mean whereby the body of Christ is received and eaten in the supper, is Faith. The sacrament of the Lord's Supper was not by Christ's ordinance reserved, car- ried about, lifted up, or worshipped. Art. 29. Of the wicked, which eat not of the Body of Christ in the tcse of the Lord's Supper. — The wicked, and such as be void of a lively faith, although they do carnally and visibly press with their teeth (as St. Augustine saith) the sacrament of the body and blood of Christ; yet in no wise are they partakers of Christ; but rather to their condemnation do eat and drink the sign or sacrament of so great a thing. Art. 30. Of both Kinds. — The cup of the Lord is not to be denied to the lay-peo- ple; for both the parts of the Lord's sacrament, by Christ's ordinance and command- ment, ought to be ministered to all Christian men alike. Art. 31. Of the one oblation of Christ finished upon the Cross. — The offering of Christ once made, is that perfect redemption, propitiation, and satisfaction for all the sins of the whole world, both original and actual ; and there is none other satisfaction for sin, but that alone. Wherefore the sacrifice of Masses, in which it was commonly said, that the priest did offer Christ for the quick and the dead, to have remission of pain or guilt, were blasphemous fables, and dangerous deceits. 96 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. Art. 32. Of the Marriage of Priests. — Bishops, priests, and deacons, are not com- manded by God's law, either to vow the estate of single life, or to abstain from mar- riage : therefore it is lawful for them, as for all other Christian men, to marry at their own discretion, as they shall judge the same to serve better to godliness. Art. 33. Of excommunicate Persons, how they are to he avoided. — That person which by open denunciation of the church is rightly cut off from the unity of the church, and excommunicated, ought to be taken of the whole multitude of the faith- ful, as an heathen and publican, until he be openly reconciled by penance, and re- ceived into the church by a judge who hath authority thereunto. Art. 34. Of the Traditions of the Church. — It is not necessary that traditions and ceremonies be in all places one, or utterly like ; for at all times they have been divers, and may be changed according to the diversity of countries, times, and men's man- ners, so that nothing be ordained against God's word. Whosoever, through his private judgment, willingly and purposely doth openly break the traditions and cere- monies of the church, which be not repugnant to the word of God, and be ordained and approved by common authority, ought to be rebuked openly (that others may fear to do the like), as he that offendeth against the common order of the church, and hurteth the authority of the magistrate, and woundeth the consciences of the weak brethren. Every particular or national Church hath authority to ordain, chauge, and abolish ceremonies or rites of the church, ordained only by man's authority, so that all things be done to edifying. Art. 35. Of Homilies. — The second Book of Homilies, the several titles whereof We have joined, under this article, doth contain a godly and wholesome doctrine, and necessary lor these times, as doth the former Book of Homilies, which were set forth in the time of Edward the Sixth , and therefore we judge them to be read in churches by the ministers diligently and distinctly, that they may be understanded of the people. Of the Names of the Homilies. 1. Of the right use of the church; 2. Against peril of idolatry; 3. Of repairing and keeping clean of churches ; 4. Of good works : first of fasting ; 5. Against gluttony and drunkenness; 6. Against excess of apparel; 7. Of prayer; 8. Of the place and time of prayer ; 9. That Common Prayers and Sacraments ought to be ministered in a known tongue ; 10. Of the reverent estimation of God's Word; 11. Of alms-doing ; 12. Of the nativity of Christ ; 13. Of the passion of Christ ; 14. Of the resurrection cf Christ ; 15. Of the worthy receiving of the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ; 16. Of the Gifts of the Holy Ghost; 17. For the Rogation-days ; 18. Of the state of matrimony ; 19. Of repentance ; 20. Against idleness: 21. Against rebellion. [This Article is received in this church so far as it declares the Book of Homilies to be an explication of Christian doctrine, and instructive in piety and morals. But all references to the constitution and laws of England are considered as inapplicable to the circumstances of this church, which also suspends the order for the reading of said Homilies in churches until a revision of them may be conveniently made, for the clearing of them, as well from obsolete words and phrases, as from the local re- ferences.] Art. 36. Of Consecration of Bishops and Ministers. — The Book of Consecration of Bishops, and ordering of Priests and Deacons, as set forth by the General Conven- tion of this church in 1792, doth contain all things necessary to such consecration and ordering; neither hath it anything that, of itsel', is superstitious and ungodly; and, therefore, whosoever are consecrated or ordered according to said form, we decree all such to be rightly, orderly, and lawfully consecrated and ordered. AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 9Y Art. 37. Of the Power of the Civil Magistrates. — The power of the civil magistrate extendeth to all men, as well clergy as laity, in all things temporal ; but hath no au- thority in things purely spiritual. And we hold it to be the duty of all men who are professors of the Gospel, to pay respectful obedience to the civil authority, regularly and legitimately constituted. Art. 38. Of Christian Men's Goods which arenot Common. — The riches and goods of Christians are not common, as touching the right, title, and possession of the same, as certain Anabaptists do falsely boast. Notwithstanding, every man ought, of such things as he possesseth, liberally to give alms to the poor, according to his ability. Art. 39. Of a Christian Man's Oath. — As we confess that vain and rash swear- ing is forbidden Christian men by our Lord Jesus Christ, and James, his Apostle : so we judge that Christian religion doth not prohibit, but that a man may swear when the magistrate requireth, in a cause of faith and charity, so it be done according to the prophets, teaching in justice, judgment, and truth. EVANGELICAL ASSOCIATION. This denomination owes its rise to the labors of Jacob Albright, a German, and a close student of the Scriptures, who, in 1796, commenced travelling through the country, and preaching to his countrymen as he went. His views, in some respects peculiar, at first, evoked, from some, only ridicule ; but the vigor with which he de- fended them, the clearness of his logic, and the intimate knowledge of the Scriptures he evinced, had effect upon adversaries, who, if not in all cases convinced, were at length willing to let him proceed without interruption. The church, among the Germans, at that time, was in a low state; what little existed of religion was the barest formalism. At first, Mr. Albright was scarcely noticed. In time, however, his vigorous preaching, his unquestionable piety, his sturdy zeal, and his frank, genial manner had influence. Listeners were found, at first in small numbers, but after- wards in crowds, and friends grew up around him at every step. In 1800, he united with a number of others, who had been led under his preaching to embrace the gos- pel, in the formation of a religious society, which took root and prospered, sending out several small branches. In 1 803, the society deemed it expedient to organise a system of discipline for their body, which had now become comparatively numerous. Mr. Albright was elected presiding elder, and duly confirmed and ordained by laying on of hands bj' the other preachers, of whom at this time there were several ; and the several branches shortly after meeting in a general conference adopted the Holy Scriptures as their only rule of faith and discipline, and such rules and regulations as seemed to them necessary for the prosperity of their body and the salvation of souls. Such is, in brief, the early history of the body of Christians now known under the name of the Evangelical Association. For a time, the denomination had to endure the common lot, in misrepresentation, detraction, and persecution. But this disappeared as its principles became better understood, and it now pursues its work with vigor and success. Its field of operations is principally among the Germans in the United States and Canada West, though it has ministers who preach both in German and English. Its form of government is episcopal. It is the duty of the bishops, elected by the General Conference, to which they are responsible, alternately to travel through the 7 98 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. whole connexion, to superintend tbe temporal and spiritual affairs of the church, and to preside at the annual and general conferences. The province of a presiding elder is to travel over the whole bounds of his district, to hold stated Quarterly Meetings, to preside at Quarterly Conferences, and to super- intend all the churches within the district Preachers in charge of circuits and stations have the superintendence of their re- spective fields of labor. In addition to preaching, they are to attend to the formation of classes, direct and superintend elections of leaders and exhorters, and receive, put back on trial, or expel members, as cases may require. The denomination has a Sunday-School Society, a Missionary Society, an Education Society, a Charter Fund, and a Book Concern. The Book Concern, located at New Berlin, Pa., is a source of revenue, the profits of which are divided among the conferences for the support of superannuated preach- ers, and the widows and orphans of deceased ministers. Its list of publications is quite extensive, and embraces, beside standard theological works, the productions of several able pens that have risen in the denomination. In addition to these, it pub- lishes two periodicals, one in German, the other in English. The denomination, though small compared with many, is yet active and prosperous. It has about 1,150 local and travelling preachers, and, as nearly as can be ascertained, about 33,000 members, principally among the Germans in the central and Western States, and in Canada West. ARTICLES OF FAITH. 1. Of the Holy Trinity. — There is but one only, true, and living God, an Eternal Being, a Spirit without a body, indivisible, infinite, mighty, wise, and good, the crea- tor and preserver of all things, visible and invisible. And in this Godhead there is a Trinitv, of one substance and power, and co-eternal — the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. 2. Concerning the Word, or Son of God, who Became Man. — The Son, who is the Word of the Father, the eternal and true God, of one substance with the Father, took man's nature in the womb of the blessed Virgin, so that both natures, the divine and the human, are perfectly and inseparably joined together (in him as in one person) ; therefore he is Christ (the anointed), very God and very man, even he, who suffered, was crucified, dead and buried, in order to reconcile the justice of the Eternal Father with us, and to present himself a sacrifice for both our original and actual sins. 3. Of Christ's Resurrection. — This Christ did truly rise again from the dead, and resumed his body, with all things appertaining to the perfection of man's nature, and thus in the same body he ascended into heaven, and sitteth there until he return again, at the last day, to judge all men. 4. Of the Holy Ghost. — The Holy Ghost proceeds from the Father and the Son, is the true and eternal God, of one substance, majesty and glory, with the Father and the Son. 6. The Sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures for our Instruction to Salvation. — The Holy Scriptures contain the decree of God, so far as it is necessary for us to know for our salvation ; so that whatsoever is not contained therein, nor may be proved thereby, is not to be enjoined on any to believe as an article of faith, nor as a doctrine essential to salvation. By the Holy Scriptures, we understand those canonical books of the Old and New Testament, which the Church at all times indubiously received as such. 6. Concerning the Old Testament. — The Old and New Testaments are not contrary to each other ; in both, as well in the Old as in the New Testament, everlasting life U offered to mankind by Christ, being both God and man, and the only Mediator be- AMERICAN CHRlSTtAtf RfiCORC. 99 tween God and man. "Wherefore, they are not to be heard, who teach that the fathers of the ancient covenant had grounded their expectations on transitory promises only. Though the law given from God by Moses, touching ceremonies and rites, doth not bind Christians, by any means, nor ought the civil precepts thereof of neces- sity be received in any commonwealth : yet, notwithstanding, no Christian is free from the obedience of the ten commandments, which are also called the moral law. 7. Of Original Sin. — Original sin consisteth not in the tailing of Adam (as some falsely pretend) ; but it is that corruption of the human nature, in which every off- spring of Adam appears in this world — a corruption, whereby man is very far gone from Original righteousness, and, on the contrary, is of his own nature inclined to evil, and that continually. 8. Of Free Witt. — The condition of man after and since the fall of Adam is so wretched, that we cannot turn unto God by the simple powers of nature ; and hence we cannot by our own natural strength do any good works, pleasing and acceptable in the sight of God, without the grace of God by Christ preventing us, and influencing us that we may have a good will, and working with us, when we have that good will. 9. Of the Justification of Man. — "We are never accounted righteous before God on account of our works or merits ; but it is only for the merit of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and by faith in his name, that we are justified. Wherefore, that we are justified by faith only, is a most wholesome doctrine, and full of comfort. 10. Of Good Works. — Though good works are the fruits of faith, and follow justi- fication, whilst they have not the virtue to put away our sins, nor to avert the judg- ment, or endure the severity of God's justice : yet they are pleasing and acceptable to God in Christ, if they spring out of a true and living faith, inasmuch, that by them living faith may be as evidently known, as a tree is discerned by its fruit. 11. Of Sin after Justification. — Not every sin willingly committed after justifica- tion is, therefore, the sin against the Holy Ghost, which is unpardonable. They can- not all be precluded from repentance who fall in sin after justification, nor their ac- ceptance straightway denied them. * After we have received the H*oly Ghost, it may bo happen, that we may depart from grace, and fall into sin ; and, we may even thus arise again by the grace of God and amend our lives. And, therefore, the doctrine of those is to be rejected, who say, they can no more fall into sin as long as they live here, or who deny the place of forgiveness to such as do truly repent. 12. Of the Church. — The visible Church of Christ is the community of true be- lievers, among whom the word of God is preached in its purity, and the means of grace are duly administered, according to Christ's own appointment in all those things, so far as they are requisite, and in conformity with the ordinances of Christ. 13. Of speaking in the Congregation in such a Tongue as the People may understand. — Public prayers in the church, and the ministering of Baptism and of the Lord's Sup- per in a tongue not understood by the people, are matters plainly repugnant to tho word offk>d, and the custom of the primitive church.. 14. Of Baptism and the Lords Supper. — Baptism and the Lord's Supper, ordained fcy Christ, are not only given pledges or tokens of Christian men's profession, but tiey are much more certain signs of grace and God's will towards us, by which he works invisibly in us, quickens and also strengthens and confirms our faith in him. Baptism and the Lord's Supper were not ordained by Christ that we should abuse them; but that we should duly use them. And in such only, as worthily receive the same, they produce a wholesome and effectual power ; but such, as receive them unworthily, purchase to themselves damnation, as Paul saith. 15. Of Baptism. — Baptism is not merely a token of a Christian profession, where- by Christians are distinguished from others, and whereby they obligate themselves to observe every Christian duty ; but it is also a sign of internal ablution, renovation, or the new birth. 100 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 16. Of Ihe Lord's Supper. — The Supper of the Lord is not merely a token of Idre and union, that Christians ought to have among themselves and one towards another ; but it is much more, a mystery or a representation of our redemption by the suffer- ings and death of Christ ; insomuch, tbat such as rightly, and worthily, and faithfully receive the same, partake of the body and blood of Christ by faith, as the imparting means, not in a bodily but in a spiritual manner, in eating the broken bread and in drinking the blessed cup, which is handed them. Transubstantiation, or the chang- ing of the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ in the Lord's Supper, cannot be supported by Holy Writ, but is repugnant to the plain words of the Scriptures. 17. Of the only Oblation of Christ, finished upon the Cross. — The offering which was once made by Christ on the cross, is that perfect redemption, propitiation, and satisfaction for all the sins of the whole world, both original and actual, so that there is no other satisfaction required bnt that alone. 18. — Of Church Bites and Ceremonies. — It is by no means necessary that cere- monies and rites should in all places be the same, or exactly alike ; for they have always been different, and may be changed according to the diversity of countries, times, and national manners, provided that nothing be introduced contrary to God's ordinances. Whosoever, through his private judgment, willingly and purposely doth break the ordinances, ceremonies, and rites of the church to which he belongs (if they are not repugnant to the word of God, and are ordained by proper authority), ought to be rebuked openly, as one that offendeth against the order of the church, and woundeth the consciences of the weaker brethren, in order that others may be deterred from similar audacity. Every particular church has the privilege to introduce, change, and abolish rites and ceremonies ; yet so that all things may be done to edification. 19. Of the Rulers of the United States of America. — The President, Congress, the General Assemblies, the Governors, and the Councils of State, as the delegates of the people, according to the regulation and transfer of power made to them by the Consti- tution of the United States, and by the constitutions of their respective States, are the rulers of and in the United States. And these States are a sovereign and inde- pendent nation, which is and ought not to be subject to any foreign jurisdiction : though we believe that wars and bloodshed are not agreeable with the Gospel and Spirit of Christ. Concerning the Christians Temporal Property. — The temporal property of Christians must not be considered as common, in regard to the right, title, and possession of of the same, as some do vainly pretend ; but as lawful possessions. Notwithstanding, every one ought, of the things he possesseth, to give to the poor and needy, and to manifest Christian love and liberality towards them. 21. Of the Last Judgment, and God 's Righteous Sentence of Rewards and Punishments. — "We believe that Jesus Christ will come in the last day, to judge all mankind by a righteous judgment ; that God will give unto the faithful, elect, and godly, eternal lite and happiness, everlasting rest, peace, and joy without end. But God will bid the impenitent and ungodly to depart to the devil and his angels, to endure everlasting damnation, punishment, and pain, torment and misery. Therefore, we are not to concede to the doctrines of those who maintain that devils and ungodly men will not have to suffer eternal punishment and torment. AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD, 101 FRIENDS OR QUAKERS. This denomination of Friends, or Quakers as they were sneeringly termed by the un- friendly, arose in England, about 1647, principally under the ministry of George Fox, who, dissatisfied with the errors he believed had crept into the Episcopal church, in whose doctrines he had been carefully reared, in that year commenced travelling extensively through England, generally on foot, and preaching his views of the Gospel. In his tours, he defrayed his own expenses out of his own slender means, from a conviction that it was contrary to the spirit of Christ's command for any one to receive any compensation for preaching. His devoted and disinterested labors were crowned with so great success that in a few years considerable numbers had embraced the Christian principles he promulgated. Among these were many persons of family, fortune and distinction, including ministers of various denominations. The spirit of the time however was unfavorable to religious freedom. Persecution was let loose against the new sect ; derisive names were applied to its members ; their property was confiscated; their meetings riotously interrupted, themselves stoned, publicly whipped by officers of the law, and in many cases thrown into prison. But in that day, as in every other, persecution failed in its aim. Their sufferings only caused the Friends to cling with greater tenacity to their faith and to each other. Persecution, too, called general attention to their doctrines, and then added to their ranks thousands of the brave and true. Meetings or churches rose up in every di- rection, and in such rapidity and numbers that their enemies at length deemed it both expedient and politic to permit them to go on undisturbed. In 1665, some ministers travelled through Europe, Asia and Africa, preaching their doctrine and establishing societies on the way. As in England, many were thrown into prison, some severely punished in the inquisitions of Rome, Malta and Hungary, and not a few paid the price of their faith with their lives. About the same period, a few Friends landed at Boston, Mass., and commenced preaching with success. Here, as elsewhere, persecution awaited them. Barbarous personal abuse was relentlessly showered upon them ; misrepresentation, denun- ciation and threatenings were launched against them from the pulpit ; they were as- sailed in the streets, at their places of business, everywhere ; their meetings were rudely broken up ; their persons were subjected to disgraceful indignities ; many were plunged into prison ; some put to death on the scaffold. Nevertheless, their principles spread. In 1682, TTm. Penn, with a large number of Friends, from England, settled in Pennsylvania, at which time meetings were established along the Atlantic provinces, from Boston to North Carolina, To-day, the largest body of Friends is in the United States. The illustrious founder of the denomination, George Fox, early saw the necessity of an organised system, and provided for it by establishing meetings for discipline. The discipline established comprises four grades of meetings, connected with and dependent upon each other, namely — preparative, monthly, quarterly, and yearly. Preparative meetings receive and prepare the business for the monthly meetings. Monthly meetings are composed of one or more preparative meetings, and rank next in order a^ove them ; in these, too, the executive department of the discipline is chiefly lodged. Quarterly meetings consist of several monthly meetings, over which they exercise a supervisory care, examine into their condition, and advise or assist them as occasion may require. The yearly meeting includes the whole, possesses exclusively the legislative power, and investigates the state of the whole body, which j£ brought before it by answers to inquiries addressed to the subordinate meetings, 102 JLMEBICAS christian record. t In each preparative meeting are usually two or more of each sex, as overseers of the flock, whose duty it is to take cognizance of improper conduct in the members, and endeavor by tenderness and affection to bring offenders to such a sense of their fault as may lead to sincere repentance and amendment. Violations of discipline by members are reported by the overseers to the preparative meetings ; from thence, if necessary, to the monthly meeting, which appoints a committee to convince and re- claim the delinquent, when, if this desirable result is not produced, a minute is made declaring the meeting in disunity with his conduct and with him, until he is brought to a sense of his error and condemns it in a satisfactory manner. From the decision of a monthly meeting, the disowned may appeal to the quarterly meeting, when, if that also condemns him, he may carry his case to the yearly meeting, whose de- cision is final. There are also distinct meetings for the care and help of the ministry, composed of ministers and elders, the latter being prudent and solid members, specially chosen for those qualities to watch over the ministers for their good, and to advise them as circumstances may require. At these meetings both sexes meet together. They are calied meetings of ministers and elders, and are divided into preparative, quarterly, and yearly. Yearly meetings are held at Newport, R I,. New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cedar Creek and Summerton, alternately, Va., New Garden, N. C, Mount Pleasant, J., and Richmond, Ind. Peculiarities. — Friends believe the gospel should be preached without money and without price. Where a minister believes himself called to religious service abroad, the expense of which is beyond his means, if his brethren unite with his engaging in it and set him at liberty therefor, the meeting he belongs to is required to see that he is not hindred for want of pecuniary means. They believe that war is at variance with the spirit of the gospel, which breathes peace on earth and good will to men. They receive, in their full and literal signifi- cation, the commands of Christ, " I say unto you that you resist not evil, but who- soever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also'' ; and " I say unto you,. love your enemies; bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you and persecute you, that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven." They consider these binding on every disciple of Christ, and that the observance of them would eradicate from the human heart all those malevolent passions which engender strife and warfare. They believe not in oaths, and, when called upon to testify, simply affirm. They are governed by the following passages — " Swear not at all ; " " But, above all things, my brethren, swear not — neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath ; but let your yea be yea, and your nay nay, lest ye fall into condemna- tion." And therefore, they refuse, either to administer or to take an oath. They believe not in public fasts, feasts, or holy days, set up by the will of man. They believe that the only fast, men are called to is a continued fasting from sin and everything which would unfit the soul from being the temple of the Holy Ghost. They believe no one day should be kept holier than another, but that every day is to be kept alike holy ; and, therefore, they do not pay a particular reverence to the * first or seventh day of the week ; but as it is necessary some day should be set apart to meet together for the purpose of waiting upon God. and as it is -fit that at some times men should be freed from their outward affairs, and reasonable and just that servants and beasts should have some time allowed them to rest from their labor, and as it appears the primitive Christians used the first day of the week for these purposes, Friends, therefore, observe the first day as a season of cessation from all unnecessary labor, for religious retirement, and waiting upon God ; yet not so a3 to prevent them from meeting on other days of the week for the same purpose. AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 103 They believe holding the human species in slavery to be at -war with the spirit of the Christian religion, and therefore will neither practice it nor give it countenance. They believe the making, vending, and drinking of ardent spirits to be opposed to the spirit of the Gospel, and therefore abstain from having to do with intoxicating liquor in any manner. They believe magistracy or civil government to be ordained of God for the punish- ment of evil doers and the benefit of the well-disposed. They feel restrained by the pacific principles of the Christian religion from joining in any warlike measures to pull down, set up, or defend any particular government, and consider it a duty to live peaceably under whatever form of government it shall please divine providence to permit to set up over them ; to obey the laws, so far as they do not violate their conscience ; and, where a compliance would infringe on their religious scruples, to endure patiently the penalties imposed upon them. They will not accept any public office which exposes them to the danger of violat- ing their testimony as Christians against war, oaths, &c., nor engage in party heats or disputes, believing that the work to which they are particuliarly called is the labor- ing for the spread of the peaceful reign of the Messiah. They will not go to law till the last extremity, settling their disputes, when pos- sible, through the arbitration of their brethren; but when peculiar circumstances render this impracticable or unsafe, and liberty is obtained to bring the matter into court, they regard it as a duty to conduct themselves with moderation and forbear- ance, and in their whole demeanor to evince that they are under the government of a divine principle, and that nothing but necessity brings them before court. They believe in a simple mode of living, free from needless care and expense ; in moderation in the pursuit of business ; in discountenancing theatres, horse races, and all other vain and unprofitable amusements ; and in daily living in the fear of God, that they may show forth a conduct and conversation accordant with their Christian profession, and adorn the doctrine of the Saviour in all things. They believe that outward rites and ceremonies have no place under the Christian dispensation, which they regard as a purely spiritual administration. They, there- fore, believe that spiritual communion cannot be maintained by the use of the out- ward elements of bread #nd wine. They behove that outward show of rejoicing, mourning, and public diversions, are incompatible with the simplicity, gravity, and dignity that should adorn the Chris- tian character, and do not follow or countenance them. They believe ministerial gifts are given to both men and women, and are both one in Christ. • They believe births and burials should be unaccompanied by rites and ceremonies. At burials, a solemn pause is made, to afford an opportunity to those concerned to communicate their exercises. They believe marriage to be a right with which ministers have nothing to do. Parties who desire and design to marry, inform the monthly meeting of their inten- tion, when a committee of both sexes is appointed to inquire if the parties are clear from other similar engagements, and the parents or guardians have consented. If these aro found to be so, the monthly meeting gives its consent, and the marriage is performed, either at a public meeting for worship, or a private meeting at the house of one of the parties, towards the close of which they stand up and solemnly take each other for husband and wife. The certificate is then signed, read, and attested. A committee, appointed by the monthly meeting, attends the marriage, to see that it be performed orderly, and to deliver the certificate to the recorder of the meeting, who keeps a record of the births, marriages and burials of all its members. At their meetings, they decide no question by vote, but by what appears to be the ■ense of the meeting. In questions involving a difference of sentiment, personal and 164 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. censorious remarks are discouraged, aud care is taken to exercise a spirit of condes- cension and brotherly love. Thus it often happens that deference to the views and feelings of a few consistent members prevent the body from adopting a measure in which there is otherwise great unanimity. They refrain from the use of the plural number to a single person, and of compli- ments in intercourse with men, as only having their origin in flattery, and tending to nourish a principle subversive of that humility and meekness which ought to charac- terise the disciples of Christ. They decline, for the same reason, to bend the knee to any man, of remove their hat in any civil court or meetiug. They decline, also, to give the common names to months and days, as these, bestowed upon them in honor of the heroes and false gods of antiquity, originated in superstition and idolatry. DOCTRINAL BELIEF, OR TESTIMONIES. 1. God. — We believe in one only wise, omnipotent and everlasting God, the creator and upholder of all things, visible and invisible ; and in one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, the mediator between God and man; and in the Holy Spirit, which proceedeth from the Father and the Son — one God, blessed for ever. 2. Jesus Christ. — "We believe in Jesus Christ, the beloved and only begotten Son of God, who was conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary ; in whom is forgiveness of sins ; who is the express image of the invisible God, the first born of every creature, by whom all things were created that are in heaven or in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, dominions, principalities, or powers ; that he was made a sacrifice for sin, who knew no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth ; that he was crucified for mankind, in the flesh, without the gates of Jerusalem ; that he was buried and rose again the third day, by the power of the Father, for our justification, and ascended up into heaven, and now sitteth at the right hand of the Father, our holy mediator, advocate, and intercessor ; that he alone is the redeemer and savior of man, the captain of salvation, who saves from sin as well as from hell and the wrath to come, and destroys the works of the devil ; that he is the seed of the woman that bruises the serpent's head, even Christ Jesus, the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last ; that he is our wisdom, righteousness, justification and redemption ; neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven, given among men, whereby we may be saved ; that he is both true God and perfect man ; that his sacrifice of himself upon the cross was a propitiation and atonement for the sins of the whole world ; and that the remission of sins which any partake of, is only in, and by virtue of, that most satisfactory sac- rifice, and no otherwise. 3. The Holy Spirit. — We believe the Holy Spirit is that Comforter whom Christ declared he would send in his name, to lead and guide his followers into all truth, to teach them all things, and to bring all things to their remembrance; that a manifesta- tion of this Spirit is given to every man to profit withal; that it convicts of sin, and, as followed, gives power to the soul to overcome it: that it opens to the mind the mysteries of salvation, enables it savingly to understand the truths recorded in the Holy Scriptures, and gives it the living, practical, heartfelt experience of those things that pertain to its everlasting welfare ; that the saving knowledge of God and Christ cannot be attained in no other way than by the revelation of the Spirit. 4. The Fall of Man. — We believe that man was created in the image of God, capable of understanding the divine law, and of holding communion with his maker; that through transgression, he fell from this blessed state and lost the heavenly im- AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 105 age ; that his posterity came into the world in the image of the earthly man ; and, until renewed by the quickening and regenerating power of the heavenly man, Christ Jesus, manifested in the soul, they are fallen, degenerated and dead to tho divine life in which Adam originally stood, and are subject to the power, nature, and seed of the serpent, and not only their words and deeds, but their imaginations, are evil perpetually in the sight of God ; that man therefore, while in this state, can know nothing aright concerning God, and until he is disjoined from this evil seed, and united to the divine light, Christ Jesus, his thoughts and conceptions of spiritual things are unprofitable to himself and to others. But while man is in a lost and undone condition by reason of the fall, he is not punishable for Adam's sin, and does not partake of his guilt, until he makes it his own by transgressing the divine law. 5. Salvation. — We believe that God, who, out of his infinite love, sent his Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, into the world to taste death for every man, hath granted to all men, of every nation and country, a time of visitation when it is possible for them to partake of the benefits of Christ's death, and be saved : that for this end he hath communicated to every man a measure of the light of his own Son, a measure of grace or the Holy Spirit, by which he invites, exhorts and strives with every man to save him ; that this light or grace, as it is received, and not resisted, works the sal- vation of all, even of those ignorant of Adam's fall, and of the death and sufferings of Christ ; both by bringing them to a sense of their own misery, and to be sharers of the sufferings of Christ, inwardly; and by making them partakers of his resur- rection, in becoming holy, pure and righteous, and recovered out of their sins. By which also are saved they that have the knowledge of Christ outwardly, in that it opens their understanding rightly to use and apply the things delivered in the Scrip- tures ; that this Holy Spirit or light of Christ maybe resisted and rejected ; in which, then, God is resisted and pressed down, and Christ again crucified and put to open shame ; and to those who thus resist and refuse him, he becomes their condemna- tion ; that as many as resist not the light of Christ Jesus; but receive and walk there- in, it becomes in them a holy, pure and spiritual birth, bringing forth holiness, right- eousness and purity, and all those other blessed fruits which are acceptable to God ; that by this holy birth, viz. : Jesus Christ formed within us, and working his works in us, we are sanctified and justified in the sight of God — as says the A.postle, " But ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." Therefore, it is not by our works wrought in our will, nor yet by good works considered as of themselves, that we are justified, but by Christ, who is both the gift and the giver, and the cause producing the effects in us. 6. The Resurrection. — We believe there will be a resurrection, both of the right- eous and the wicked ; the one to eternal life and blessedness, and the other to ever- lasting misery and torment ; that God will judge the world by that Man whom he hath ordained, even Christ Jesus the Lord, who will render unto every man accord- ing to his works. 7. The Holy Scriptures. — We believe the Holy Scriptures to be the words of God, written by holy men as they were moved by the Holy Ghost ; that they contain all the fundamental doctrines and principles relating to eternal life and salvation ; that whatsoever doctrine or practice is contrary to them, is to be rejected as false and erroneous ; that they are a declaration of the mind and will of God, in and to the several ages in which they were written, and are obligatory on us, and are to be read, believed, and fulfilled, by the assistance of divine grace ; that they were writ- ten for our learning, that we, through patience and comfort of the Scriptures, might have hope : and that they are able to make wise unto salvation, through faith in Christ Jesus. [Friends do not call the Scriptures the Word of God, believing that epithet peculiarly applicable only to the Lord Jesus.] 106 -AMEBICASC CHRISTIAN RECORD. 8. Baptism. — We believe Christian baptism is inward and spiritual ; that it is not the putting away the filth of the flesh, bur the answer of a true conscience towards God, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ ; that this answer of a good conscience can be produced only by the purifying operation of the Holy Spirit, transforming and renewing the heart, and bringing the will into conformity to the divine will; that true Christians are baptized by one spirit into one body ; that as many as are bap- tized into Christ, have put on Christ ; and that, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature : old things are passed away, behold all things are become new, and all things of God. 9. The Lord's Supper. — We believe that communion with the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ is inward and spiritual ; that it is a real participation of his divine nature through faith in him and obedience to the power of the Holy Ghost by which the soul is enabled daily to feed upon the flesh and blood of our crucified and risen Lord, and is thus nourished aud strengthened ; that the breaking of bread and drinking of wine by our Saviour with his disciples was figurative of this communion ; the true supper being that set forth in the Revelations — " Behold I stand at the door and knock ; if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him and sup with him. and he with me." 10. Worship. — We believe that the worship of God must be in spirit and in truth; that a man can do nothing to the glory of God and his own salvation without the immediate assis.ance of the Spirit of Christ, in the performance of this, the highest act of which he is capable, the aid of the Holy Spirit is specially necessary ; that intercourse between the soul and its Creator is not dependent upon or necessarily connected with any thing which one man can do for another ; and that they only truly worship God that worship him in spirit and in truth, rejoice in Christ Jesus, aud have no confidence in the flesh. [Friends sit down in silence to worship God ; that each may gather inwardly the gilt of divine grace and experience ability rever- ently to wait upon the Father and to offer unto him, through Christ Jesus the holy Mediator, a sacrifice well pleasing in his sight, whether it be silent mental adoration, the secret breathing of the soul unto him, the public ministry of the Gospel, or vocal prayer or thanksgiving.] 11. TJie Ministry. — We believe that the authority and qualification for the minis- try of the gospel, are the special gift of Christ Jesus, the only Head of the Church, and bestowed both upon men and women, without distinction of rank, talent, or learning, and must be received immediately from him through the revelation of his Spirit in the heart ; that the gospel is to be preached without money and without price ; that this authority cannot be given by any human power, ordination, license, or permission, and only proceeds from the Great Head of the Church through the Holy Spirit, the one and only ordainer and giver of all spiritual calls and ministerial gifts. FRIENDS, OR, HICKSITES. In the first quarter of the present century, Elias Hicks, the founder of this branch of the denomination of Friends, becoming persuaded of the erroneousness of certain doctrines entertained by the Society of Friends, of which he was himself a member, and deeming it a duty owing alike to Truth, Humanity, and himself, to speak his convictions bcldly, attacked those doctrines with all the vigor of a strong mind and resolute will. At first, he found but little sympathy and few willing hearers. By AMERICAN* CHRISTIAN RECORD. lOt degrees, however, the daring boldness of his views, the ruggedness of his logic, and the vigor with which he repelled assailants, began to attract attention and to win hearers over to his opinions, which, proclaimed without faltering, in public and pri- vate, for years, at length found large numbers of sympathisers, who, with Mr. Hicks himself, unable to impress their convictions upon the denomination at large, in 1827, seceded from that body, and set up a distinct and independent association, but still holding to the name of Friends. In this secession were members from the yearly meetings of New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Ohio, Indiana and New England. In peculiarities, usages, and discipline, they differ not from their orthodox brethren, between whom and themselves the points of difference are doctrinal only. A friendly correspondence is held between the yearly meetings of the two bodies, both of which, as already stated, claim the appellation of Friends. DOCTRINES, OR, TESTIMONIES. 1. The Scriptures. — "We believe that the Scriptures have proceeded from the reve- lations of the Spirit of God to the saints ; and this belief is founded on evidence fur- nished by the same Spirit to our minds. "We experience them to be profitable for doctrine, for correction, for reproof, and for instruction in righteousness. But as they are a declaration from the fountain only, and not the fountain itself, they bear the same inscription as the sun-dial — " useless, or a dead letter, without light;" because the right interpretation of them, and consequently their usefulness, depend on the assurance and evidence of the same Spirit by which they were dictated, given to the mind of the reader. For, although we believe we may be helped and strengthened by outward means, such as the Scriptures, and an authorised Gospel ministry, yet, it is only by the Spirit that we can come to the true knowledge of God. and be led into all truth. Under these several considerations, we cannot accept these writings as the foundation and ground of all religious knowledge, nor as the primary ride of faith and practice ; since these high attributes belong to the Divine Spirit alone, by which the Scriptures themselves are tested. Neither do we confound cause and effect by styling them the Word of God, which title belongs to Christ alone, the foun- tain from which they proceeded. The Holy Spirit, or the Light of Christ Within. — "We believe a knowledge of the Gospel to be founded on immediate revelation to the believer. Being the antitype of the legal dispensation, it is spiritual in its author, and as the soul which it purifies and redeems. Under the Gospel dispensation, the temple, altar, sacrifices, the flesh and blood, water and fire, cleansing and worship, are all spiritual. Justified by the second Adam, the Gospel restores to us the privileges and blessings enjoyed by the first ; the same pure, spiritual worship, the same union and communion with our Maker. The message we have received is the same given to the Apostles, that " God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all." God hath given to every man com- ing into the world and placed within him, a measure or manifestation of this Divine light, grace, or spirit, which, if obeyed, is also sufficient to redeem or save him. We believe repentance, regeneration, and final redemption to come from this light, and to be one, even as God is one, and his purpose one, and the same in all. It is called light because it enables us to distinguish with indubitable clearness, all that concerns us in the works of salvation. It is called grace, and grace of God, because it is freely bestowed on us by his bounty and enduring love. It is called truth, as being the substance of all types and shadows, and imparting to man a true sense and view of his condition, as it is in the Divine sight. It is called " Christ," " Christ within," "the hope of glory," "the kingdom of God within," "the word of God," "a manifestation of the Spirit, given to every man to profit withal," "the seed," "a still small voice." because most certainlv heard in a state of retirement, but drowned 108 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECOiLD. by the excitement of the passions, the cravings of the imagination, and the eager pursuit of worldly objects. '; And thine ear shall hear a word behind thee saying, ' This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand and when ye turn to the left.' " It is compared to " a grain of mustard seed, the smallest of seeds," being at first little in appearance ; but, as it is obeyed, growing and extending, until it occupies the whole ground of the heart, and thus expands into, and sets up the kingdom of God in the soul. For the like reason, it is compared to " a little leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened," or brought into its own nature. This unspeakable gift speaks to every man's condition, supplies all his natural need, and is a present and all sufficient help in every emergency and trial. To the obedient, it proves "a comforter," under temptation a (i monitor," and a "swift witness" against the transgressor. It is a " quickening spirit" to rouse the indifferent ; " like a refiner's fire, and like fuller's soap, purifying the unclean;" a " hammer" to the heart of the obdurate sinner ; and in all, an infallible teacher and guide to virtue and holiness. As there are diversities of operations and administrations, so also there are diver- sities of gifts bestowed on the members of the body: " The Spirit dividing to every man severally as he will," that every office and service in the church militant may be performed, to preserve its health, strength and purity. And thus, by one and the " self-same Spirit," "we are all baptised into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free ; and all are made to drink into one spirit." 3. Jesus Christ. — We believe in the divinity of Christ — not of the outward body, but of the spirit which dwelleth in it — a divinity not self-existing and independent, but derived from the Father, being the Holy Spirit, or God in Christ. "The Son can do nothing of himself;" "I can, of mine own self, do nothing;" "The Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the work; " As my Father hath taught me, I speak these things;" "Even as the Father said unto me, so do I speak," [They reject the common doctrines of the Trinity and Satisfaction, as contrary to reason and revelation. They reject the doctrine of "imputed righteousness," as generally believed.] 4. Imputed Righteousness. — We believe there must be a true righteousness of heart and life, wrought in us by the Holy Spirit, or Christ within ; in which work we im- pute all to him, for of ourselves we can do nothing. 5. The Fall. — We do not believe that the sins of Adam are, in any sense, imputed to his posterity ; but we do believe" that no one incurs the guilt of sin, until he trans- gresses the law of God in his own person. In that fallen state, the love and mercy of God are ever extended for his regeneration and redemption. God so loved the world, that he sent his only begotten Son into the world, in that prepared body, under the former dispensation, for the salvation of men. And it is through the same re- deeming love, and for the same purpose, that, under the new covenant, he now sends the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, a mediator and intercessor, to reconcile us, and render us obedient to the holy will and righteous law of God. We believe that al/ that is to be savingly known of God, is made manifest or revealed by his Spirit. f , [In other doctrines ; this society agrees with the orthodox body.] t f AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD, 109 GERMAN REFORMED CHURCH. The founder of the German Reformed Church was Ulric Zwtngli, of Wildhaus, Switzerland, where he was born January 1st, 1484. The church had its first repre- sentation in the United States in emigrants from Germany and Switzerland, who, in 1720, settled in eastern Pennsylvania. Early settlements were made also in New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, and the Carolinas. Her doctrinal system, derived from Germany and Switzerland, is that of the Heidel- berg Catechism ; her ecclesiastical polity is modelled after that of the Dutch Reformed Church, that is to say, Presbyterian. All ordained ministers are equal in rank and authority. Its church officers are three — ministers, elders, and deacons; its ecclesiastical courts three — consistories, classes, and synods. Each congregation is governed by its consistory or vestry, composed of elders and deacons, and of which the pastor may or may not be a member. The clergy, within certain local bounds, constitute a classis, which must consist of at least three ministers. A classis meets statedly once a year, but may be called oftener by its presiding officer, if circumstances require it. Every pastoral charge is entitled to a lay dele- gate, who must be an elder, and has the same right to deliberate and vote as the clerical member. A majority of the whole number, of which at least one-half must be ministers, constitutes a quorum, and every question is decided by a majority of the number assembled. Its presiding officer is elected annually. The synod meets, statedly, once a year, but may be called oftener by the presiding officer, also elected annually. It is composed of clerical and lay delegates, appointed by the classis. A classis consisting of not more than six ministers, is entitled to send one minister and one lay delegate ; a classis having more than six, and not over twelve, ministers, may be represented by two ministers and two lay delegates, and in the same ratio for any larger number. A general convention of all the ministers and lay delegates of the whole church can be authorised by an act of synod, but not otherwise. An appeal can be taken from the consistory to the classis, and from the classis to the synod, whose decision is final. The church is divided into two bodies — the Eastern and "Western Synods, which niaintain a friendly correspondence, but are wholly independent of each other. The Eastern Synod, the original body, has a theological seminary, a grammar school, and a college (Marshall), all located at Mercersburg, Pa. It has also a Board of Foreign Missions, a Board of Domestic Missions, and a Board of Education. The denomination has also, under its patronage at Chambersburg, Pa., a book establishment, whence, in addition to other publications, issue weekly two periodi- cals, the "German Reformed Messenger," a paper of large size, and edited with modest but signal ability, and the "Christliche Zeitschrift," for German readers. The "Western Synod, originally known as the Synod of Ohio, is slowly but steadily extending in numbers and influence, and though now very much the smaller of the two, is apparently destined, from the immense breadth of its field, and the devotion and energy of its ministers, eventually to become the chief portion of her church. The growth of the church is steady and healthful, owing largely to the system of- educating her young in her doctrines. In 1842, the number of congregations, reported in the Eastern Synod was 466, in the Western, 214: — total, 680; in 1859 the Eastern synod had 656 ; the "Western, 364 — total, 1,020. (See Statistics of Am- erican Chwrches. 110 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. JEWISH CHURCH. Probably the first Jews in America were a few Spanish and Portuguese, who set- tled in New Amsterdam (New York), under the Dutch. How early the first syna- gogue was built in New York, we have no date for determining. The second was constructed in 1827 ; there are now 20. A few years prior to the revolution, a congregation of considerable size assembled at Newport, R. I. ; but with the decline of business, after the war, the Jewish popu- lation left it by degrees. The synagogue and burial ground still remain in good or- der, a legacy haviug been left by the son of one of its ministers, Tours, to preserve them from falling into decay. The first congregation in Philadelphia was organised in 1780. There are now 6, besides small congregations in the principal interior towns. There are synagogues or congregations at Baltimore, Charleston, Savannah, Mobile, New Orleans, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Cleveland, Louisville, Chicago, Albany, New Haven, and Boston ; but their synagogues throughout the United States do not ex- ceed 48, while the estimated number of their congregations is but 67. The literature of the American Jews is as yet limited. They have a few schools, but thus far none of a high standard. They expect to tell a different story in this respect, however, when their population is sufficient to warrant a vigorous effort. They have no ecclesiastical authorities in the United States other than the con- gregations themselves. Each congregation makes its own rules for its government, and elects its own minister ; induction into office being made through his election, which is for a term or during good behaviour, according to the decision of the ma- jority. Careful provision is made for the poor, to prevent them from becoming a charge to the public, and from falling into crime for want of the means of subsistence. As a people, though without a native land and scattered over every nation, they are held together by their religion. Their service consists, principally, in reading the law in their synagogues, together with a variety of prayers. They go to prayers three times a day. Their sabbath is our Saturday. Their services in the United States are in English. They have used no sacrifices since the destruction of the temple. Almost all modern Jews are Pharisees. They avoid all vain swearing, and do not pronounce any of the names of God without necessity. They abstain from meats prohibited by the Levitical Law, and whenever meat is dressed, it must be by Jews, and after a manner peculiar to themselves. In general, they observe the same ceremonies practised by their ancestors, in the celebration of the passover. They pray for the souls of the dead, because they be- lieve in a paradise, where the souls of good men enjoy the presence of God; and in a place called purgatory, where the souls of the wicked are tormented with fire and other punishments. They believe, that in this place of punishment, some are pun- ished only for a limited time, and others for ever. They suppose no Jew, unless guilty of heresy, or certain crimes specified by the Rabbins, shall remain in purga- tory over a twelvemonth, and that only a few suffer eternal punishment. They acknowledge a two-fold law of God — a written and an unwritten one. The former is contained in the Pentateuch ; the latter, they claim, was delivered by God to Moses, and from him handed down by oral tradition, and is therefore to be received AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD, HI as of equal authority with the former. They believe their law is perpetual and perfect. They deny the accomplishment of the prophecies in the person of Christ ; claiming that the Messiah is not yet come, and that he will make his appearance with great pomp and power, subduing all nations before him, and subjecting them to the house of Jndah. The Messiah whom they expect is not to be a god, nor a part of the Godhead, nor a son of God, in any sense ; but simply a man eminently endowed, like Moses and the prophets in the days of the Bible, to work out the will of God on earth, in all that the prophets have foretold of him. In the days of this august ruler, the law, which was at first given as "an inheritance of the congregation of Jacob," will become the only standard of righteousness, of solvation, for all mankind, when will be fulfilled to its fullest extent the blessings conferred upon Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that "in their seed all the families of the earth should be blessed." They believe, farther, ' that the time of tins great event is only known to the Creator, who in his own good time will regenerate the earth, remove the worship of idols, banish all erroneous beliefs, and establish his kingdom firmly and immovably over the hearts of all sons of man, when all will invoke Him in truth, and call him God, King, Redeemer, the One who was, is, and will be, for ever. That time may be distant, thousands of years removed ; but they confidently look forward to its coming, in the full confidence that He who has so miraculously preserved his people among so many trials and dangers, is able and willing to fulfil all He has promised, and that his power will surely accomplish what his goodness has foretold; and that He will not rest in the fulfilment of his word, till all the world shall acknowledge his power, aud ceaseless incense ascend to His holy name, from the rising of the sun even unto his settiug; when the altera of falsehood shall crumble, and the dominion of unbelief be swept from the face of the earih." A summary of the Jewish creed was drawn up by Moses Maimonides, otherwise called the "Great Rambam," (Rabbi Moses Ben Maimon.) an Egyptian rabbi of the eleventh century, which is still acknowledged as their confession of faith. It con- sists of thirteen articles, and is as follows : 1. I believe, with a perfect faith, that the Creator, blessed be his name! is the governor and creator of all the creatures, and that it is he who made, maketh, and will make all things. 2. I believe, with a perfect faith, that the Creator, blessed be his name 1 is one, and that no unity is like his, and he, alone, our God, was, is, and shall be. 3. I believe, with a perfect faith, that the Creator, blessed be his name ! is incor- poreal ; that he is not to be comprehended by those faculties which comprehend corporeal objects ; and that there is no resemblance to him whatever. 4.

The first Lutherans in this country were emigrants from Holland to New Amster- dam (New York), in 1621. "While the Dutch had possession of the territory, they were compelled to hold their meetings in private ; but when it passed into the hands of the British, they were permitted to conduct their worship publicly. Their first minister was Jacob Fabricius, who labored among them eight years, when he con- nected himself with the Swedish Lutherans at Wricaco, now Southwark, Philadelphia, where he preached fourteen years, during nine of which he was blind. The second Lutheran settlement was that of the Swedes, on the Delaware, in 1636. The churches planted here, yielding by degrees to the prevalence of the Eng- lish language, were at length absorbed by the Episcopal church. The third settlement was that of the Germans, which spread over Pennsylvania. Maryland, Virginia, and the interior of New York and the Western States. In 1710, 3000 Germans, chiefly Lutherans, who had left their own country on account of Romish intolerance, arrived in New York, and settled in the counties on either side the Hudson, and in Pennsylvania. In 1733, a fourth band of Lutherans, from Saltzburg, who had fled from Romish persecution, settled in Georgia, and in gratitude to God for their safe escape and arrival, styled this location Ebenezer. About the same time, numerous Germans, principally Lutherans, from Pennsyl- vania and other states, settled in North Carolina. In 1735, some German families, of Lutheran principles, established themselves in Virginia. ' In 1739, some Germans of the Lutheran faith settled in Waldborough, Maine. In November, 1742, the celebrated Henry Melchior Muhlenberg, arrived in Geor- gia, where he spent a few days with two brethren, to refresh himself and learn the circumstances of the country, when he proceeded to Pennsylvania, which, after a dangerous voyage, he reached in safety, when he immediately commenced his labors. This devoted servant of Christ was endowed with a comprehensive mind and great energy. Previous to his arrival, the Lutheran church in the colonies had merely existed, and was without union or influence. Muhlenberg, proceeding from settle- ment to settlement, from congregation to congregation, preaching in churches, dwell- ings, barns, in the open air, praying, counselling, exporting, everywhere woke up the church to a sense of her power and responsibility, and roused the brethren to spiritual vigor and zeal. Like a second Paul, his energies knew no bounds or falter- ing, his dangerous journeys had for him no fears, and he had but one aim — to build up the church in the Lord. Under his indefatigable labors the church rose from her slumber, and put on her armor to the fight for the winning of souls. A great work followed, and a foundation laid for greater things to corne^ . AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 113 . Muhlenberg -was, from time to time, joined by kindred spirits from Germany ; in 1745, by such men as Brunnholtz and Lemke; in 1748, by Handshuh, "Weygand, and Hartwick; in 1751, by Heinzelman and Schultz; in 1753, be Gerock, Hausil, "Wagner, Shrenk, Wortman, Rauss, and Schartlin; in 1758, by Bager; in 1764, by Yoigt and Krug; in 1769, by Schmidt and Helmuth; in 1770, by Kunze. At the first synod, in 1748, there were only 11 regular Lutheran ministers in the colonies; in 1751, there were 40 congregations, and a Lutheran population of about 60,000. The Lutheran, in common with all other denominations, suffered seriously by the war, from which it only slowly recovered. In 1786, the Lutheran clergy in the Mid- dle States numbered 24. From that time till 1820, men seemed to care more fo^ the accumulation of property than for religion. The church had gradually become di- vided into five or six different synods, and these were estranged and unconnected. The churches, too, had fallen into indifference in regard to each other, and except a faithful few, threatened eventually to decline into extinction. But the dawn of a better day was at hand. 1820, a General Synod was organized, the salutary influence of which was felt in every department of the church. From the formation of this Synod, dates the real advance of the denomination. Among some of its fruits were a scriptural formula of government and discipline, a selection of psalmody of a higher order than had pre- viously been used, a theological seminary, and a college. But the union of the synods in a General Synod was not effected without a struggle. At the proposition for its formation, the ignorant, the suspicious, and the unfriendly threw out a cry of "Church and State," which alarmed many, and resulted, in 1822, in the withdrawal of the largest and oldest of the Synods — that of Pennsylvania. The theological seminary established in 1825, went into operation the following year. It is situated at Gettysburg, about 114 miles from Philadelphia. Its beginning was feeble, but it advanced with the denomination and the country, and from its honored halls hundreds of able ministers have gone out, while it has a library of sev- eral thousand volumes of almost every age, language, and size. It being found that many applicants for admission to the seminary were deficient in classical requirements, in 1827, a preparatory school was established, which grad- ually rose in importance and usefulness. In 1829, it was changed into a gymnasium. In 1831, the number of students had so greatly increased that steps were taken, chiefly through the energetic steps of Prof. Schmucker, to convert it into a college, and, a charter having been obtained, it was organised, in July, 1832, under the title of Pennsylvania College, went into operation in October of the same year, and is now one of the most flourishing institutions of its kind in the Union. The denomination has now, free from debt and flourishing, several institutions of learning and for the preparation of young men for the ministry, and annually con tributes its proportion of the piety, the learning, the intelligence, the patriotism, and the integrity of the nation. It has, also, an institution for the education of poor orphan children, called th<» Emmaus Institution, located at Middletown, Pennsylvania. The literature of the denomination is extensive, and embraces many of the mos important theological productions in the English and German languages. It has r. its interest several English and German periodicals, noticeable for their learning, irj telligence and talent, and for their careful dissemination of those principles which make men study in truth and sterling integrity and guard them alike from fanaticism, from holding back on occasions of importance, and from the seductive blandishments of error. Of these, the Lutheran Observer, published at Baltimore, is the chief, and has a large and constantly increasing circulation. The government and discipline of the church resemble those of the Presbyterian. 8 114 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. Its Synod corresponds to the Presbytery of the latter ; and its General Synod to the General Assembly. In worship, the Lutherans usually employ a short liturgy, the use of which how- ever is entirely discretionary with the minister. Usages. — The denomination maintains infant church membership and baptism, and the rite of confirmation ,• parental care is taken of baptised children, who are faith- fully instructed by each society in Luther's catechism, which contains the doctrines of the church. The festivals of Christmas, Good Friday, Easter, the Ascension, and Whitsuntide, are observed, as commemorative of the fundamental facts of the Christian religion, •md for the purpose of leading the clergy to preach annually on the events they se- verally represent. Preparation for communion consists in a public preparatory discourse, a publio nd general confession of sins, and a rehearsal of the promises of divine mercy, simi- ter to the preparatory exercises of other churches, except that, as in the Episcopal church, they are generally conducted according to a form. Writers, both careless and unfriendlv, have taken advantage of these usages, and certain of its views, to represent this denomination as more nearly resembling the Roman Catholic than any other Protestant church ; than which, nothing could be further from the truth. The church does not bind her ministers to the minutiae of any human creed. The Bible, and the belief that the fundamental doctrines of the Bible are taught in a manner substantially correct in the Angsburg confession, together with an approval of her principles of government and worship, are all that she requires. They regard ordination as valid, whether they who perform it are called bishops, presbyters, ministers or pastors. They further believe that, in a case of necessity, a minister may be set apart and constituted by the laity themselves. As the denominaiion has been much misrepresented as regards her view of the Eucharist, it is but fair to give its real view, that readers may judge for themselves. It is this : " That there is no presence of the glorified human nature of the Saviour, either substantial or influential; nor anything mysterious or supernatural in the Eu- charist ; yet, that whilst the bread and wine are merely symbolic representations of the Saviour's absent body, by which we are reminded of his sufferings, there is also a special spiritual blessing bestowed by the divine Saviour on all worthy communi- cants, by which their faith and Christian graces are confirmed." The following, from the Augsburg Confession, are the leading doctrines of the church. CONFESSION OF FAITH. 1. The Trinity of Persons in the one God. — That there is one divine essence, which is called, and is God, eternal, incorporeal, indivisible, infinite in power, wisdom, and goodness; and yet that there are three persons who are of the same essence and power, and are co-eternal : the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. 2. The proper and eternal divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ. — " That the Word, that is the Son of God, assumed human nature in the womb of the blessed Virgin Mary, so that the two natures, human and divine, inseparably united into one person, con- stitute one Christ, who is true God and man." 3. The universal depravity of our race. — " That since the fall of Adam, all men who are naturally engendered, are born with a depraved nature, that is, without the fear of God, or confidence towards him, but with sinful propensities." By natural, or original, or innate depravity, the great body of Lutheran divines understand "that disorder in the mental and bodily constitution of man, which was introduced by the AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 115 fell of Adam (Rom. v, 12). is transmitted by natural genoration from parent to child (John hi, 6), and the result of which is, that all men, who are naturally engendered, evince in their actions, want of holiness and a predispositon to sin." (Gen. vi, 5; viii, 21.) " Without the admission of such a disorder in the human system, no satis- factory reason can be assigned for the universality of actual transgression amongst men." 4. The vicarious and unlimited atonement. — " That the Son of God truly suffered, was crucified, died, and was buried, that he might reconcile the Father to us, and be a sacrifice not only for original sin, but also for all the actual sins of men. That he also sanctifies those who believe in him, by sending into their hearts the Holy Spirit, who governs, consoles, quickens, and defends them against the devil and the power of sin." " The work of Christ may be regarded as the vicarious endurance of incal- culable suffering, and the exhibition of perfect righteousness, by which full atone- ment was made and salvation purchased for the whole world, to be offered to them on conditions ; made possible by divine grace to all who hear the gospel. The Lutheran Church also regards fallen man as incapable of performing these conditions of salvation (repentance and faith) prescribed in the gospel without the gracious aid of God ; but maintains, that this necessary aid consists in the means of grace and the invariably accompanying influences of the Holy Spirit, for the sincere (not per- fect) use of which all men possess the entire ability (physical and intellectual), and the sincere and persevering use of which is always, sooner or later, made effectual to the accomplishment of the above conditions of salvation." 6. Justification by faith alone. — " That men cannot be justified before God by their own strength, merits, or works ; but that they are justified gratuitously, for Christ's sake, through faith ; or, justification, more amply defined, is that forensic or judicial act of God, by which a believing sinner, in consideration of the merits of Christ, is released from the penalty of the divine law, and is declared to be entitled to heaven." The faith here spoken of, usually termed justifying faith, is that voluntary act of the illuminated and evangelically penitent sinner, by which he confides in the mercy of God through Christ for salvation, on the terms offered in the gospel. Its exact nature is that of confidence, trust or reliance on God, and is similar to the confidence of a child in an affectionate parent, or of one friend in the known character of another. It includes — 1. A knowledge, or belief of the character of God, and especially of the Saviour, as deserving of our confidence ; 2. Feelings of approbation and delight in this character, especially as developed in the gospel plan of salvation ; and, 3. A volition to accept the offers of mercy on the terms proposed, that is, to act in accord- ance with this belief and feeling, and to surrender the soul entirely, unconditionally and eternally to God." 6. Necessity of a holy life and good works as a fruit of faith. — "That this faith must bring forth good fruits ; and that; it i3 our duty to perform those good works which God commanded, because he has enjoined them, and not in the expectation of thereby meriting justification before him." 7. Divine appointment of the Jioly ministry and sacraments. — " That, in order that we may obtain this faith, the ministerial office has been instituted, whose members are to preach the gospel, and administer the sacraments (viz. Baptism and the Lord's Supper). For, through the instrumentality of the word and sacraments as means of grace, the Holy Spirit is given, who, in his own time and place, produces faith in those who hear the gospel message, viz., that God, for Christ's sake, and not on account of any merit in us, justifies those who believe in Christ." 8. Final jicdgment and eternity of future retributions. — " That, at the end of the world, Christ will appear for judgment; that he will raise all the dead; that he will give to the pious and elect eternal life and endless joys, but will condemn wicked men and devils to be punished without end." 116 AMERICAN" CH&lSTPAN RECORD. MORMONS, OR LATTER DAY SAINTS. The founder of this sect, Joseph Smith, was bora December 23d, 1805, at Sharon^ "Windham county, Vermont. "When he was ten years old,- his parents removed to* Palmyra, New York, where they resided four years, when they again changed their' residence to Manchester, about six miles from Palmyra, where they lived for manyf years. Smith's own account of himself, in the Book of Mormon, and the rise of the Latter1 Day Saints, is as follows : His Early Life. — " My father was a farmer, and taught me the art of husbanefry- "When about fourteen years of age, I began to reflect upon the importance of being' prepared for a future state ; and upon inquiring the place of salvation, I found that- there was a great clash in religious sentiment; if I went to one society they referred me to one place, and another to another ; each one pointing to his own particular creed as the "summum bonum" of perfection. Considering that all could not be right, and that God could not be the author of so much confusion, I determined to investigate the subject more fully, believing that if G-od had a church, it would not be split up into factions, and that if he taught one society to worship one way, and administer in one set of ordinances, he would not teach auother principles which were diametrically opposed. Believing the word, of God, I had confidence in the declara- tion of James, M If any man lack wisdom let him ask of God, who giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him." Has a Vision. — I retired to a secret place in a grove, and began to call upon the- Lord. While fervently engaged in supplication, my mind was taken away from the* objects with which I was surrounded, and I was en wrapt in a heavenly vision, and saw two glorious personages, who exactly resembled each other in features and like- ness, surrounded with a brilliant light, which eclipsed the sun at noonday. They told me that all the religious denominations were believing in incorrect doctrines, and that none of them was acknowledged of God as his church and kingdom. And I was expressly commanded to 'go not after them,' at the same time receiving a promise, that the fulness of the gospel should, at some future time, be made known, unto me." Has a Second Vision.^- "On the evening of the 21st of September, A. D. 2S23, while I was praying unto God and endeavoring to exercise faith in the precious promises of scripture, on a sudden a light like that of day, only of a far purer and more glorious appearance and brightness, burst into the room ; indeed the first sight was as though the house was filled with consuming fire. The appearance produced a shock that affected the whole body. In a moment a personage stood before me surrounded with a glory yet greater* than that with which I was already surrounded. This messenger proclaimed himself to be an angel of God, sent to bring the joyful tidings, that the covenant which God made with ancient Israel was at hand to be fulfilled ; that the preparatory work for the second coming of the Messiah was speed- ily to commence ; that the time was at hand for the Gospel in all its fulness to be preached in power, unto all nations, that a people might be prepared for the millen- nial reign. " I was informed that I was chosen to be an instrument in the hands of God to bring about some of his purposes in this glorious dispensation. " I was informed also concerning the aboriginal inhabitants of this country, and shown who they were, and from whence they came;— a brief sketch of their origin, progress, civilization, laws, governments, of their righteousness and iniquity, and the blessings of God being finallv withdrawn from them as a people, was made knowt> unto me. AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. Ht The Book of Mormon. — " I was also told where were deposited some plates, on which was engraven an abridgement of the records of the ancient prophets that 'had existed on this continent. The angel appeared to me three times the same night, and unfolded the same things. "After having received many visits from the angels of God, unfolding the majesty and glory of the events that should transpire in the last days, on the morning of the* 22d of September , A. D. 1827, the angel of the Lord delivered the records into my hands. " These records were engraven on plates which had the appearance of gold ; each plate was six inches wide and eight inches long, and not quite so thick as common tin. They were filled with engravings in Egyptian characters, and bound together in a volume, as the leaves of a book, with three rings running through the whole. The volume was something near six inches in thickness, a part of which was sealed. The characters on the unsealed part were small and beautifully engraved. The whole book exhibited many marks of antiquity in its construction, and much skill in the art of engraving. With the records was found a curious instrument which the ancients called "Urim and Thummim," which consisted of two transparent stones set in the rim on a bow fastened to a breastplate. " Through the medium of the Urim and Thummum I translated the record, by the girt and power of God. " In this important and interesting book the history of ancient America is unfolded, from its first settlement by a colony that came from the tower of Babel, at the con- fusion of languages, to the beginning of the fifth century of the Christian era. " We are informed by these records, that America, in ancient times, has been in- habited by two distinct races of people. The first were called Jaredites, and came directly from the tower of Babel. The second race came directly from the city of Jerusalem, about six hundred years before Christ. They were principally Israelites, of the descendants of Joseph. The Jaredites were destroyed, about the time that the Israelites came from Jerusalem, who succeeded them in the inheritance of the country. The principal nation of the second race fell in battle towards the close of the fourth century. The remnant are the Indians who now inhabit this country. This book also tells us that our Saviour made his appearance upon this continent after his resurrection ; that he planted the Gospel here in all its fulness, and richness, and power, and blessing ; that they had apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, and evangelists ; the same order, the same priesthood, the same ordinances, gifts, powers, and blessing, as were enjoyed on the eastern continent; that the people were cut off in consequence of their transgressions ; that the last of their prophets who existed among them was commanded to write an abridgement of their prophecies, history, Sec, and to hide it in the earth, and that it should come forth and be united with the Bible, for the accomplishment of the purposes of God, in the last days." Thus far Smith's own account of the origin of the Book of Mormon. The state- ment of his father-in-law, Mr. Isaac Hale, affirmed and subscribed to before Charles Dimon, a justice of the peace, March 29, 1834, is very different. Mr. Hale's declara- tion is, that the plates, when dug out of the earth, where Smith himself had previ- ously put them, were inclosed in a box, which had to all appearance been used for common sized window glass. Smith pretended to interpret them, with a stone in his hat, and this hat over his face, while one Martin Harris was employed to write down the contents at his dictation. Some disagreement arising between the parties Harris went away, and Oliver Cowdry came and wrote for Smith, while he inter- preted as above described, till the "Book of Mormon" was completed. Smith then gave out that 'it was a revelation from heaven, and that he himself was a prophet. After describing the history of the plates, Smith proceeds: Result of the Discovery of the Plates. — " As soon as the news of this discovery was 118 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. made known, false reports, misrepresentations and slander flew, as on the wings of the wind, in every direction ; my house was frequently beset by mobs, and evil de- signing persons. Several times I was shot at, and very narrowly escaped ; and every device was made use of to get the plates from me ; but the power and blessing of God attended me, and several began to believe my testimony. Beginning of the Church. — " On the 6th of April, 1830, the " Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints/' was first organised, in the town of Manchester, Ontario county, State of New York. Some few were called and ordained by the Spirit of revelation and prophecy, and began to preach as the Spirit gave them utterance, and thou<: t, weak, yet were they strengthened by the power of God ; and many were brought 7 repentance, were immersed in the water, and were filled with the Holy Ghost by tU* laying on of hands. They saw visions and prophesied, devils were cast out, and the sick healed by the laying on of hands. From that time the work progressed with astonishing rapidity, and churches were soon formed in the States of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri. Fortunes of the Church in Missouri. — " In Missouri, a considerable settlement was formed in Jackson county; numbers joined the church, and we were increasing rap- idly; we made large purchases of land; our farms teemed with plenty, and peace and happiness were enjoyed in our domestic circle and throughout our neighborhood; but as we could not associate with our neighbors, — who were, many of them, the basest of men, and had fled from the face of civilized society to the frontier country, to es- cape the hand of justice, — in their midnight revels, their sabbath-breaking, horse- racing, and gambling, they commenced at first to ridicule, then to persecute, and finally an organised mob assembled and burned our houses, tarred and feathered and whipped many of our brethren, and finally drove them from their habitations ; these, houseless and homeless, contrary to law, justice, and humanity, had to wander on the bleak prairies till the children left the tracks of their blood on the prairie. This took place in the month of November, and they had no other covering but the canopy of heaven, hi that inclement Season of the year. This proceeding was winked at by the Government; and although we had warrantee deeds for our land, and had vio- lated no law, we could obtain no redress. There were many sick who were thus in- humanly driven from their houses, and had to endure all this abuse, and to seek houses where they could be found. A great many, deprived of the comforts of life, and necessary attendance, died; many children were left orphans; wives, widows; and husbands, widowers. Our farms were taken possession of by the mob, many thousands of cattle, sheep, horses, and hogs were taken, and our household goods, store goods, and printing press and types were broke::, taken, or otherwise destroyed. "Many of our brethren removed to Clay county, where they continued until 1836 (three years;) there was no violence offered, but there were threatenings of violence. But in the summer of 1836, these threatenings began to assume a more serious as- pect ; from threats, public meetings were called, resolutions were passed, vengeance and destruction were threatened, and affairs again assumed a fearful attitude; Jack- son county was a sufficient precedent, and as the authorities in that county did not interfere, they boasted that they would not in this , which, on application to the au- thorities, we found to be too true; and, after much violence, privation, and loss of property, we were again driven from our homes. "We next settled in Caldwell and Davies counties, where we made large aud ex- tensive settlements, thinking to free ourselves from the power of oppression by set- tling in new counties with a very few inhabitants. But here we were not allowed to live in peace. In 1833, we were again attacked by mobs. An exterminating order was issued by Governor Boggs, and under the sanction of law. an organised banditti ravaged the country, robbing us of our cattle, sheep, horses, hogs, &c. Many of our people were murdered in cold blood ; the chastity of our women was AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 119 violated, and we were forced to sign away our property at the point of the sword ; and after enduring every indignity that could be heaped upon us by an inhuman band of marauders, — from twelve to fifteen thousand souls, men, women, and chil- dren, were driven from their own firesides, and from lands for which they had war- rantee deeds, to wander houseless, friendless, and homeless, (in the depth of winter,) as exiles on the earth, or to seek an asylum in a more genial clime, and among a less barbarous people." Fortunes in Illinois. — After being expelled from Missouri, the Mormons, in the fall of 1839, settled in Hancock county. Illinois. Here they commenced a city called Nauvoo, which, in process of time, had 1500 houses and 15,000 inhabitants. They organized, by virtue of their charter, a military body, called the Nauvoo Legion, an agricultural and manufacturing association, and a university. Here, too, now deem- ing themselves permanently located, they commenced the construction of an immense structure, entitled the Nauvoo temple, designed to be the largest religious edifice in the world, and said to be built by the direct revelation of Jesus Christ, for the sal- vation of the living and the dead. Missionaries were sent out to every notable place of the United States, and to Europe and Asia, by whom proselytes were made in incredible numbers, who were directed to go and take up their residence in the holy city of the church. The city had a common council, of which Smith was president ; a military legion of several thousand men, of which he was the commanding officer ; a church council, of which he was the head. Troubles soon arose. Many, jealous of Smith's supreme authority in all things, fomented discord, and eventually succeeded in dividing the populace into two parties A newspaper, termed the Nauvoo Expositor, conducted by a zealous partizan, be- coming obnoxious to the dominant party, was ordered by Smith to be destroyed, which, though not without a struggle, was done. For this illegal act redress was sought, but could not be obtained in Nauvoo. It was then applied for to a county magistrate, who issued a warrant of arrest against Smith and all implicated in the outrage, which had created throughout the state a tempest of indignation, and added largely to the prejudice and excitement in the neighbouring counties against the prophet and his followers. Believing that the warrant would not be allowed by the Mormons to be served, aud having fresh in their recollection a former reported disregard by Smith to the authority of the State, the neighbouring inhabitants held indignant mass meetings, of which shrewd politicians took prompt advantage, and at which violent and in- flammatory language was used without stint. The people, already highly excited, now became uproarious. The authorities, fearing bloodshed, called out the Militia, who followed several armed and riotous bands that had alreadj'- congregated near Nauvoo. Gov. Ford, apprised of the danger threatening the public peace, hastened at once to the scene, and, by a short but judicious address to both parties, succeeded in allaying the gathering storm. On the 24th of June, 1844, Smith and his brother Hyrum, receiving assurances of protection from Gov. Ford, proceeded with some friends to the neighbouring town of Carthage, to surrender themselves as prisoners on the warrant. "While on their way, they were met by an officer, at the head of a troop of cavalry, with an order from the Governor for the State arms in the possession of the Nauvoo Legion. Smith, as commander of the legion, endorsed the order, and returned with the officer to Nauvoo to see it executed. The arms wers delivered up, and both parties again set out for Carthage, where they arrived at midnight, and where the Smiths were im- prisoned in the debtor's room of the jail, with the privilege of being visited by their friends. Death of Smith, — On the 27th, the excitement having apparently subsided, the 120 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN' RECORD. Governor discharged the principal body of the troops, and proceeded with a single company to Nauvoo, leaving the jail, the prisoners, and a few of their friends, guarded by seven or eight men, and a company of militia a short distance in reserve. Towards dusk, a mob of armed and disguised men suddenly surrounded the jail, overpowered the guard, broke in upon the prisoners, who were alone and without means of do- fence, and levelling their rifles, with furious taunts and bitter curses, deliberately shot them dead. The Mormons, justly excited by the brutal and barbarous act, indignantly flew to arms. Their leaders, however, receiving from the Governor an assurance that the facts should be inquired into, and justice done upon the murderers, succeeded in paci- fying them. The bodies of the two brothers were conveyed to Nauvoo, and buried with military honors. But it ere long became evident to the Mormons that their enemies were too crafty and many for them, and after a tjme they again struck their tents, turning their faces to the Far West, and finally settling down at Salt Lake, their present location, whence they contemplate still another removal to some land which they can have exclusively to themselves, where their doctrines and institutions can give offence to none. Brigham Young, their present prophet, is a man of large administrative powers, a resolute will, unflinching courage, and possessed of all the qualities of a leader. Much has been said and published concerning him, but it is evident to careful observers of the man and the times that his true history is yet to be written. The literature of this body is limited. The Book of Mormon, whose style is an im- itation of the Books of Isaiah and Psalms, a History of the Latter Day Saints, a Life of Smith, a few Memoirs of the early Lights of the Sect, and here and there irregular Missionary Journals, comprise its principal literary stock. The chief reliance of its leaders for the diffusion of their doctrines is in its mission- aries, who are numerous, zealous and energetic. Peculiarities. — Every believer may take as many wives as his means will support, Some have as many as seventeen, others only one. The great body regard the Book of Mormon with-as much reverence as Mahometans do the Koran, and Smith himself as Mussulmans do Mahomet. The initiation rites into the church are viewed with respect only by Mormons themselves. Seceders assert that it is dangerous to the person to complain in this or any other respect ; that in the ignorance of the people lies the only hope of suc- cess of the church ; that its leaders are without honor, truth, morality, or human sympathy; that they live on the credulity, the stupidity, and the superstition of dupes; that they permit neither freedom of conscience nor of person ; that they discourage literature and the press as dangerous to their creed, their pretensions, and their sel- fishness ; and that Mormonism is, from first to last, an excrescence on civilization and an impudent fraud upon an ignorant, credulous and naturally superstitious humanity.

The Atonement. — We believe that through the atonement of Christ, all men may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel. 6. The Gospel Ordinances. — "We beUeve the gospel ordinances to consist of — 1. Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; 2. Repentance; 3. Baptism, by immersionr for the remission of sins ; 4. Laying on of hands, for the gift of the Holy Ghost. 7. Church Offices. — We believe in the same organization that existed in the primitive church, namely: apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers and evangelists. 8. Ministers. — "We believe, that to preach the gospel and administer the ordinances, a man must be called of God by prophecy, and by laying on of hands by those who- are in authority. 9. Gifts. — We believe in the gift of tongues, of prophecy, of revelation, of visions, of healing, and of interpretation of tongues. 10. Revelations. — "We believe all that God has revealed in the Bible and the Book of Mormon, and that he will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God. 11. The Millennium. — We believe in the literal gathering of Israel, and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes ; that Zion will be built upon this continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth, and that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisal gloiy. 12. Duties as Subjects. — We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, and in obeying, honoring and sustaining the law. 13. Duties as Men. — We believe in conceding to every man the right and the privilege of worshipping God according to his conscience, and we claim the same right and privilege for ourselves. 14. Duties as Individuals. — We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men. With Paul, " we believe all things, hope all things." We have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is any thing virtuous, lovely, praiseworthy, or of good report, we seek thereafter. MORAVIANS, OR UNITED BRETHREN. The Moravians were formed by the descendants of Bohemian and Moravian Chris- tians, who, persecuted for nonconformity, in 1772, at the invitation of a generous and pious nobleman, named Nicolas Lewis, count of Zinzendorf, founded on his estate, in Upper Alsatia, a colony, to which they gave the name of Herrnhut, on account of which they were sometimes called Herrnhuters. To this settlement by degrees came other persecuted nonconformists, when, finding a great diversity in their sentiments, they, at the suggestion of their patron and protector, who, from an early age, had enter- tained an idea of constituting a Christian community on the model of the primitive apostolic congregations, drew up certain articles of union, which, leaving out all the distinctive doctrines of the various Protestant denominations, and adopting only those fundamental scripture truths in which all agree, they submitted to one another for reflection and prayer. To this was added by Zinzendorf a system of social compact and church discipline resembling that of the ancient church of the Moravian Breth- ren, and intended to form a society in some degree such as the primitive churches are represented to have been. After mature deliberation, the proposed religious and social system was, in 1727, voted upon and adopted, and thus formed the parent society of the present denomi-. 122 AiEEEICAN CHKISTIAtf EECOED. nation of United Brethren, who, however, now as then, mildly but firmly decline to be considered a separate sect or denomination, asserting that this union is exclusively founded on general Christian doctrines, and that their peculiarities relate solely to their social organization, which is designed only to facilitate their joint purpose of putting truly Christian principles into actual practice. They admit of no peculiar articles of faith, confining themselves altogether to regu- lations of conduct and discipline. As a body, they regard the Augsburg Confession of Faith as most congenial to their views ; and though they do not pledge their min- isters to an express adoption of its articles, it is agreed among them not to insist upon any doctrines utterly repugnant thereto. Experience has taught them that discussions on speculative truths are of no benefit, and they rarely or never indulge in them. They permit every man to read the Scriptures for himself, and leave him quiet in his private views, feeling that as all receivers of the truth agree in all essen- tial points, it is as unreasonable and unjust to interfere with another's personal opinions upon topics open to discussion, as it would be in others to disturb them ; experience, again, having taught them, that these differences, among persons inti- mately associated, vanish of themselves to such a degree that their practical conse- quences are almost imperceptible. Small emigrations of Moravians were made to America during the first half of the eighteenth centur}', and settlements established in Pennsylvania and North Carolina, They have separate communities at Bethlehem, Nazareth, and Litiz, in the former State, and at Salem, in the latter. That at Bethlehem is the largest and most im- portant. Besides these, they have numerous congregations in various States, re- markable for their modesty and quietness as associations, and the exemplary deport- ment of their members. Their church offices are bishops, who alone are authorized to ordain, but possess no authority in the government of the church, except such as they derive from some other office, being most frequently the president of some board of elders ; presby- ters, or ordained stated ministers ; and, deacons. The degree of deacon is the first bestowed upon young ministers and missionaries, by which they are authorized to administer the sacraments. Females, though elders among their own sex, are never ordained ; nor have they a vote in the deliberation of the Board of Elders; which they attend for information only. Communities. — When the Brethren first commenced their colonies in American, it was for some years necessary to combine their labors, in order to maintain themselves amid their difficulties ; and while each individual retained the absolute disposal of any property formerly his own, their joint earnings, for the time, went into a com- mon stock, from which the daily necessities of all were supplied. But this unnatural state of tilings continued no longer than was imperatively necessary. Each community provides a church, support for the active ministers and othei officers, and for proper schools ; while the individuals composing it are entirely inde- pendent as regards their private property, each carrying on his private business for his own profit and upon his own responsibility, the same as persons of other denom- inations. The community omits nothing to make it beneficial and agreeable to its members. Certain trades or manufactures are carried on for the benefit of the community, thus furnishing labor to all its members who do not choose to work or do business else- where. By the profits from these, the voluntary annual subscriptions of the members towards the maintenance of the ministers and the support of the church and schools, the expenses of the community are met as also certain proportionate contributions to the fund for the support of superannuated ministers and their widows, and the education of the children of such of those as are without means of their own. AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 123 Widows' houses are constructed, where widows dwell at a small rent, while an- other very small sum pays for their board. The earnings of these come from plain and ornamental needlework, which they procure for themselves, or when this cannot be done, the managers or other members of the community obtain it for them. Orphans are carefully provided for, educated, and taught trades and business hab- its, so as to enable them to provide for themselves. The ministry, the missions, the aged, the church, are supported entirely by volun- tary contributions. "Widows, single men and youth, single women and girls, are each placed under the superintendence of elders of their own description, whose province it is to assist them in good advice, and to attend, as much as may be, to the spiritual and temporal welfare of each individual. Children of each sex are under the immediate care of the superintendent of the single choirs as these divisions are termed. Their instruc- tion in religion and in all the necessary branches of human knowledge, in good school* for each sex, is under the special superintendence of the stated minister of each community, and of the Board of Elders. Similar special elders attend to the spiritual welfare of the married people. AU these elders, of both sexes, together with the stated minister, to whom the preaching of the gospel is chiefly committed, (though all other elders, who may be qualified, participate therein.) and with the persons to whom the economical concerns of the community are entrusted, form to- gether the Board of Elders, in which rests the government of the community, with the concurrence of the committee, elected by the inhabitants, for all temporal con- cerns. This committee superintends the observance of ah regulations, and decides differences between individuals. Matters of a general nature are submitted to a general meeting of the whole male community, or of a representative body elected by them. Public meetings are held every evening during the week. Some of these are devoted to the reading of portions of Scripture ; others to communications from missionary stations; and others to the singing of hymns or selected verses. Sunday Services. — On Sabbath mornings the Church Litany is publicly read, and sermons preached. The services in the afternoon are usually the same. In the evening discourses are delivered, in which the texts for the day are explained and brought home to the particular circumstances of the community. Festivals. — The festival days of the Christian Church, such as Easter, Pentecost, Christmas, etc., are commemorated in a special manner, as well as some days of peculiar interest in the history of the society. Music. — A solemn church music constitutes a prominent feature of their means of edification, music in general being a favorite employment of the leisure of many. On particular occasions, and before the Lord's Supper, they assemble expressly to listen to instrumental and vocal music, interspersed with hymns, in which the whole congregation joins, while they partake together of a cup of coffee, tea, or chocolate, and light cakes, in token of fellowship and brotherly union. This is called a love feast, and is in imitation of the Agapae, or feast of love, in the primitive Christian church. Each morning is devoted to a solemnity of a peculiar kind. At sunrise, the congregation assembles in the grave-yard, which is kept like a garden ; a service, accompanied by music, is celebrated, expressive of the joyful hopes of immortality and resurrection; and a commemoration is made of all who have, in the course of the year, " gone home to the Lord" — a favorite expression by them to designate death, which they consider no evil, but the entrance of an eternal state of bliss to the sincere disciples of Christ, and they therefore desire to divest it of all its terrors. Funerals. — The decease of every individual is announced to the community by 124 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. solemn music. Outward appearances of mourning are discountenanced. The whole community follows the bier to the grave-yard, accompanied by a band playing the tunes of well known verses, expressing hopes of eternal life and resurrection, and the body is deposited in the simple grave during the funeral service. Morals. — The preservation of the purity of the community is entrusted to the Board of Elders, who are to give instruction and admonition to those under their care, and make a discreet use of the church discipline. In case of immoral conduct, or flagrant disregard of the regulations of the society, offenders are for a time res- trained from participating in the holy communion, or called before the committee. For pertinacious bad conduct, they are dismissed the community. Education. — Each community has one or more excellent schools, for each sex. These are, in every respect, on a par with the best schools in the country, and com- prise not only all essential studies, but scientific and polite acquirements. Indeed, so superior are these, that many, in all parts of the United States, not belonging to the society, send to them, for education, their young, who are received as boarding scholars, and their wants and comforts and morals carefully looked to. Each com- munity has also a preparatory school, for those intending to embrace the liberal professions, or to be prepared for the ministry. Marriage. — No marriage takes place in a community without the consent of the Board of Elders, which is obtained without difficulty upon application. The parties are then betrothed, in the presence of the elders, and they marry at the time set by themselves. Missions. — The interest taken by the members of this denomination in the spiritual interest of their fellow-men. is beyond all praise. "In this," says an eloquent writer, " they are superior to any other body of people in the world. Their missionaries are, all of them, volunteers; for it is an inviolable maxim with them to persuade no man to engage in missions. They are all of one mind as to the doctrines they teach, and .seldom make an attempt when there are not half a dozen of them in the mission. Their zeal is calm, "steady, persevering. They would reform the world, but are care- ful how they quarrel with it. They carry their point by address, and the insinua- tions of modesty and mildness, which commend them to all men, and give offence to none. The habits of silence, quietness, and decent reserve, mark their character. If any of their missionaries are carried off by sickness or casualty, men of the same stamp are ready to supply their place." Their missionaries, who chiefly support themselves, by trades or other occupations, are to be found in the "West and East Indies, in Greenland, in Labrador, at the Cape of Good Hope, and among the North American Indians. They confine their labors in all countries principally among the ignorant and poor, whom they spare no pains to bring to a saving kuowledge of Christ. They are noble and devoted men, and worthy of all honor, but seeking none other than the approval of their blessed Re- deemer. The leading organ of this denomination, The Moravian, published at Philadelphia, Pa., is a weekly journal, of high but modest ability, and is marked by a quiet but earnest zeal, a mild, firm, persuasive tone, and a gentle but stirring defence to the intelligence of the reader, and holding ever mildly but firmly in eight man's eternal duty to God and to man. AMERICAS CHRISftAN RECORD. 125 METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. The founder of this, the largest body of Christians in the United States, was the Rev. John Wesley, a presbyter in the Church of England, who, after his own con- version, there can be no doubt, set out with a simple desire to revive pure religion in the church of which he was a minister. We shall not, however, here enter into his personal history, with which most are familiar, but confine ourselves to a brief sketch of the rise in the United States of the vast denomination which owes its ex- istence mainly to his piety, energy, and genius. In the fall of 1739, a few persons, deeply concerned for their spirituality, called on Mr. Wesley, in London, for advice, which he freely gave them, concluding with pray- er, and cordially inviting them to come again. Others calling the ensuing day, and this continuing, Mr. W. at length appointed a time when they might all come to* gether, which they did thereafter, every Thursday evening. To these, and as many more as desired to join with them, he gave such advice as he judged suitable. The attendants at meetings continually increasing in number, regulations became neces- sary ; and the meetings themselves increasing and diffusing, a discipline became in- mdispensible ; and, lo ! the basis of the present wide-spread Methodist Episcopal Church. The first Methodist Society in America was established, in the city of New York, in 1766. A few pious emigrants from Ireland, who had been members of a Metho- dist Society in their own country, landed in New York, accompanied by a local preacher, named Philip Embury. Among strangers, and with no established reli- gious associates with whom they could confer, they gradually lost their interest in religion, till they had well nigli forgotten they were ever acquainted with it. In this state they were, found the ensuing year by a pious and zealous sister, just arrived, who suddenly entered the room where they were, and seizing a pack of cards with which some of them were playing, throw them into the fire. Then expostulating with them, she turned to Mr. Embury, and exclaimed " Sir, you must preach to us, or we shall all go to hell together, and God will require our blood at your hands" I "I cannot preach, for I have neither a house nor a congregation," said Mr. Embury, feeling the inconsistency of his position. " Preach in your own house first, and to our company," replied the fair reprover. Mr. Embury promised, and he preached "in his own hired house" to five persons only. This, it is believed, was the first Methodist sermon preached in America. The meetings continuing with regularity, the attendants increased, and their preaching attracted attention till they found it necessary to rent a room of larger dimensions, the expense of which was paid by voluntary contribution. At this time, Captain Webb, a British officer, stationed at Albany, came to the city, and found his way to their place of worship. He had been brought to a knowledge of the truth through the ministry of Mr. Wesley, at Bristol, England, and yearned to help make known that truth to others. His appearance, in military costume, plunged the little band into alarm, fearing that he had come as an agent of the government to spy out their proceedings and interrupt the meeting. But when they saw him kneel in prayer and otherwise participate in worship, their fear was changed to joy; and shortly discovering that he was of like faith with themselves, they invited him to preach. He consented. The novelty of a military preacher soon filled the room to overflowing. Mr. Webb's discourses were vigorous, pungent, and effective. Many were awakened and not a few converted. The additions to the little church, and the constantly multiplying auditors rendering a still larger room necessary, a rigging loft in William street was rented and fitted up. Here they assembled for a time 126 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. under the preaching of Mr. Embury, occasionally assisted by Mr. "Webb, who, aftef a season, visited various parts of Long Island, and subsequently Philadelphia, for the purpose of preaching, and with success. Ere long the rigging loft also was found too small, and a regular house of worship of sufficient dimensions was proposed. The poverty of the Society, however, barred the execution of this idea, and the so- ciety was uncertain what step to take. In the midst of its embarrassment, the pious ladj-, whose zeal has already been mentioned, in auswer to prayer, had a plan sug- gested to her mind, which was submitted to the members and unanimously adopted. A subscription paper was issued, and a committee waited on the mayor and other opulent citizens, to whom they explained their object. The latter responded with donations as liberal as they were unexpected, and the society purchased several lots in John street, and in 1768 erected a house of worship, 60 feet in length and 42 in breadth, which, in honor of their founder, they termed Wesley chapel — the first Methodist meeting house erected in America. While it was in process of construc- tion, feeling the need of a more competent preacher, the church addressed a letter to Mr. Wesley, urging the propriety of ministerial help. Mr. Wesley complied, sending them two preachers, namely, Richard Boardman and Joseph Pillbury, and fifty pounds, as a token of brotherly love. These were the first regular itinerant preachers of the denomination in this country. Mr. Boardman taking his station in New York, and Mr. Pillbury at Philadelphia, both entered at once upon their work, occasionally exchanging with one another, and itinerating into the country. Wherever they went, .multitudes flocked to hear them, and many were led to seek an interest in Christ Some short time previous to their arrival, an Irish preacher, Robert Strawbridge, of the same persuasion, had landed at Baltimore, and located at Frederick, Md., where he immediately commenced preaching, and with so great effect that numbers were converted. After some time, Mr. Pillbury, of Philadelphia, paid him a visit, to strengthen his hands, itinerating previous to his return through Virginia and North Carolina, to the conversion of numbers, and the formation of several societies. On his return to Philadelphia, he found a well organized church of a hundred members, with several classes, and a number of anxious inquirers, which spoke eloquently for the labors of Mr. Webb. Mr. Boardman, too, found the society in New York in a prosperous state under Mr. Embury. Other local preachers occasionally arrived, and were employed with various success. In 1771, Mr. Wesley sent over two more preachers — Mr. Francis Asbury and Mr. Richard Wright. The former, who was appointed to the general charge of the work, commenced a more extended system of preaching, itinerating through the country, and preaching in the villages and cities. His energy and zeal excited a general emu- lation among the brethren, who now threw themselves into the work with a vigor and success hitherto unexampled, and societies were established in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, and the Carolinas. In 1773, Mr. Rankin was sent over to supersede Mr. Asbury as general superin- tendent, and in July of the same year called the first conference, which was held in the city of Philadelphia, at which time there were 10 travelling preachers and 1160 members iu the various societies. At this conference, the Weslcyan plan of station- ing the preachers, and taking minutes of their doings, was adopted. At the second conference, held in Philadelphia, May 25, of the following year, 17 travelling preach- ers and 2073 members were reported. During the year — 17 7-1 — the first Methodist Church in the city of Baltimore was built. About the same time, Messrs. Boardman and Pillbury returned to England — the former, who had endeared himself to his people, never to return; the latter, whose mind had undergone a change, to take orders in the Episcopal Church, in whose service he remained till he died. Mr. Robert Williams, of Maryland, who had been for two years an untiring worker, car-' AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 12 Y ried tbo doctrines of the church into districts of Virginia and North Carolina, hitherto unexplored by the preachers, and every where found hearers and established socie- ties. The year proved indeed a prosperous one, and the next conference reported 19 preachers and 3148 members. Political troubles now began to loom up in the horizon, and to absorb men's minds. But notwithstanding this, the church, in 1775, had a large and wondrous revival. At this time, too, native preachers appeared, who, in eloquence, energy, rind success, were not a whit behind those of the English brethren ; and the future of the denomination was bright with promise. But the young church was not permitted to go on without the hostility of other denominations, to many of whose lukewarm ministers the zeal and great success of her preachers, local and itinerary, were in the eyes of the multitude, a constant re- proach. Misrepresentation, sneers, whatever could lower and prejudice men against them, were enviously heaped upon them without scruple. But persecution, far from retarding their energies, only inspired them with greater zeal and courage. A great blow was, however, awaiting them. In 1776, after the opening of the Revolution, the enemies of the church sought to strike her a fatal wound, by charging her missionaries with being Englishmen, and favorable to their country and king, and the Methodists themselves as traitorously under their influence. The charge, industriously and pertinaciously spread, though seen through by many, still, had its effect, and the spirit of persecution was let loose in all its virulence. The English preachers made an effort to outlive the storm by showing that all their energies were devoted to the Divine King ; but their enemies were too active and numerous, and in 1777, all but Mr. Asbury gave up the struggle and returned to England, deeming it better for the interests of the church to retire, than, by remaining to be the innocent cause of still further persecution of the breth- ren. Mr. Asbury secluded himself from public observation, till 1779, at the house of Judge White, a pious member of the society, in Delaware, only occasionally visit- ing his friends, and preaching privately. But persecution was not confined to the English preachers. Freeborn Garretson, and other native ministers were mobbed, pitilessly whipped, and otherwise maltreated, for preaching. Some were imprisoned, others hunted from place to*place, and all made to feel the weight and power of the jealous hatred of their enemies. During the Revolu- tion, preaching in many places, as in New York and Norfolk, had to be entirely abandoned, while others were only partially supplied. Still, in the face of these obstacles, the church prospered. Then, as now, persecution, instead of a hindrance, proved a help. Many were led by the clamor against her, and the war upon her preachers, to go and hear for themselves. Others, actuated by that spirit of fair play, which inspires the brave to rush to the rescue of the oppressed, and to insist upon their having a hearing, came forward, not so much to hear their doctrines, for which they cared nothing, as to protect them in those human rights for which the true blood of the nation was then contending. But these united formed audiences, and on these the preaching had such effect, that at the conference of 1783, the first after the war, the church numbered 43 preachers, and 13,740 members. The year 1784 was an important era in the struggling church. Hitherto the min- isters had been considered merely as lay preachers, and as such had not authority to administer the ordinances, and the members had been dependent upon the clergy of other denominations for the rite of baptism and the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. This had led to so much dissatisfaction that, contrary to the advice of Mr. Asbury and others, a few of the Southern preachers, in 1770, had ordained each other, and formed a par^v to whom they administered the ordinances. These, however, at the close of the Revolution, desisted from this disorderly method of proceeding, and united with the main body in requesting Mr. Wesley to grant them relief. Mr, 128 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. Wesley, who, to this period, bad resisted all appeals of this description, from a desire not to interfere with the asserted rights of the Church of England in America, now feeling that that church no longer had jurisdiction in the country, and consequently that to set apart qualified men for the work would be interfering with no one's pre- rogative, promptly responded to the request, and assisted by other presbyters of the Episcopal Church, on the second of September, consecrated Thomas Coke, LL. D., a minister of the Church of England, as a superintendent, and ordained Richard Whatcoat and Thomas Yasey as elders, whom he sent over with full powers and instructions. On their arrival, a conference was called at Baltimore, December 25th, to consider a plan for a church organization, prepared by Mr. Wesley, which was unanimously adopted. The conference formally recognized Dr. Coke as superintend- ent, and unanimously elected Mr. Asbury as joint superintendent with him. On the 26th, the latter was ordained deacon and elder, and, on the 27th, consecrated by Dr. Coke, assisted by several elders. Twelve other preachers were elected and consecrated deacons and elders, and three to the order of deacon. Mr. "Wesley had also sent an abridgement of the Book of Common Prayer, containing forms of ordina- tions for Deacons, Elders, and Superintendents, and for administering Baptism and the Lord's Supper, together with twenty-fivo articles of religion, and various rules for the ministers and members of the newly-formed church, all of which were adopted by the conference. Thus regularly organized, the preachers went forth to their work with renewed zeal, and were every where received as accredited ministers of the Gos- pel. Extraordinary success followed upon their labors. New circuits were formed, new societies established, and thousands added to the church. The width of the field rendering it inconvenient for the preachers all to assemble annually at one Conference, several Conferences were held the same year, at suitable distances apart, at which the Superintending Bishop presided, ordaining such as were elected by the conference to the order of deacons or elders, and appointing the preachers to their several stations or circuits. It eventually being found that the Annual Conferences were incompetent to form regulations for each other that would be satisfactory to and binding on the whole, and that it was utterly impracticable for all to come together at one time, the Conferences separately agreed that a General Conference should be held once in four years, to be composed of all the travelling Elders in full connection, to whom should solely be committed the authority for making regulations for the church. In accordance with this agreement, the first General Conference was held in 1792, at which James O'Kelly, a presiding elder in Virginia, dissatisfied with the Bishop's power of station- ing the preachers, appealed against it to the Conference. The appeal created much excitement in parts of Virginia and Xorth Carolina, which sided with the mover, and on its rejection, withdrew from the church. At this time, the travelling preachers of the denomination numbered 266, and the members 65,980, circuits having been formed, and societies established in nearly every State and territory of the Union, and in Upper Canada, the whole of which was under the superintendence of Bishop As- bury, who annually travelled from six to seven thousand miles, preaching generally every day, and on the Sabbath twice or thrice. In 1800, Richard Whatcoat was elected and ordained a Bishop, and shared with Bishop Asbury the superintendence of the church. In 1808, Bishop McHendree was elected and consecrated. The great increase of preachers and members rendering it inconvenient even for all the elders to assemble in General Conference, in 1808 it was decided to form a dele- gated General Conference, to be composed of not less than one for every seven of the members of the Annual Conferences, nor more than one for every five, to be chosen by ballot or seniority. At the present time, only one delegate for every twenty-seven members is allowed. AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 129 The first Delegated Conference met in 1812, in New York, at which Bishops Asbury and McHendree presided. In 1816, Bishop Asbury died. In the same year, at the General Conference, in Baltimore, Enoch George and Robert R. Roberts were elected and consecrated bishops. In 1819, the Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church was formed, for the purpose of assisting the several conferences to extend their missionary labors " throughout the United States, and elsewhere." In 1830,' a number of preachers and societies, dissatisfied with the non-representa- tion of the lay members iu the executive government of the church, seceded, and formed a separate denomination, under the name of the Methodist Protestant Church. In 1841, the Southern Conferences, comprising those of the Slaveholding States, feeling aggrieved at the action of the General Conference concerning slavery and abolition, seceded in a body, and became a separate denomination, under the name of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. This was a great blow to the church, but it, perhaps, was best for both parties, who are now each in denominational health and strength; the Methodist Episcopal Church, now numbering 956,555 members, 6502 traveling and 7530 local preachers; the Methodist Episcopal Church South, 699,161 members, 2771 travelling, and 4984 local preachers. Government. — The government of the church, as its title imports, is episcopal. A society has for its moving machinery — 1. The society itself, comprising all the members. " 2. The classes, usually of about twelve persons each. 3. Class leaders, who are appointed by the preachers, and whose duty it is to see each member of his class once a week, and receive what he is willing to give for the support of the church and poor. 4. The stewards, who are chosen by the Quarterly Meeting Con- ference, and have charge of all the funds collected for the poor, the support of the ministry, and for sacramental purposes, and disburse it as the discipline directs. 5. The trustees, who are selected by the society, and have charge of all the church property, in trust, and for the use of the members of the church. 6. The exhorters, who are licensed by the Quarterly Meeting Conference, and have the privilege of holding meetings for exhortation and prayer. 7. The preacher, who if also a deacon, has authority to preach, to solemnise marriages, to baptise, to bury the dead, to assist the elder in administering the Lord's Supper, to seek after the sick and poor, and ad- minister to their comfort. 8. The elder, who is ordained to* that office by the bishop, has full authority to administer all the ordinances. Preachers are authorised to preach, but not to baptise or administer the Lord'a Supper. Elders have charge of circuits or stations. Presiding elders, though no higher in order than elders, have charge of several circuits or stations, called collectively a district. He is appointed by the bishop. Bishops are elected by the General Conference, to which they are responsible. A class leaders' meeting is composed of the class leaders of a given circuit. At these, the weekly class collections are paid to the stewards, probationers are re- ceived as members, or dropped, as propriety suggests, inquiry is made as to the state of the classes, delinquents are reported, and the sick and poor inquired after. A quarterly meeting conference is composed of all the travelling and local preach- ers, exhorters, stewards, and leaders of a circuit. Here exhorters and local preachers are licensed, preachers recommended to the annual conference for the travelling ministry, and local preachers as suitable for ordination as deacons or elders. There, too, appeals are heard from members aggrieved at the decision of church committees. An annual conference is composed of all the travelling preachers, deacons, and elders, of a specified district. It has jurisdiction over all its members, and may try, acquit, expel, or locate them, as the Discipline provides. It examines the character 9 v 130 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD of all travelling preachers within its bounds : admits, continues on trial, or drops, candidates for the ministry ; hears and decides appeals of local preachers, and elects deacons and elders. The General Conference, the highest court of the church, meets quadrennially, and is composed of one delegate for every twenty-seven members of the annual conferences. It has power to revise any part of the Discipline, and make any new regulation, not prohibited by certain restrictions, the exigencies of the occasion may require ; to elect book stewards, editors, the secretary or secretaries of the Mission- ary society of the church ; to elect, try, acquit, censure, and condemn bishops ; to hear and decide appeals of preachers from the decisions of annual conferences ; to review the acts of conferences generally ; and to examine into the administrations of bishops. Preachers. — A person desiring to become a preacher must first be recommended by a class of laymen ; then by the quarterly conference ; and before admission into a conference as a travelling preacher, must have preached two years on trial, and passed an annual literary and theological examination before a conference committee, which examination is continued for four yea'-s before ordination a3 an elder. Salaries. — Each preacher is allowed $100 a year and his travelling expenses; if married, $100 a year for his wife; $16 per year for each child under seven years; and $2nd from the glory of his power. As Christ would have us to be certainly persuaded that there shall be a day of judgment, both to deter all men from sin, and for the greater consolation of the godly in their adversity : so will he have that day unknown to men, that they may shake off all carnal security, and be always watchful, because they know not at what hour the Lord will come ; and may be ever prepared to say, Come, Lord Jesus, come quickly. Amen. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH— (NEW SCHOOL.) The origin of this branch of the Presbyterian Church, it is thought, may be traced, by the careful observer, back prior to the existence of the church itself in this coun- try, and was the moral outgrowth of the fraternal union of the Presbyterian and Congregational denominations of Great Britain in 1639, which union sent over one of their number, the Rev. Francis McKemie, of the North of Ireland, to preach the Gospel in the new settlements, where he had previously laboured with apostolic zeal. An Irishman, with a great, generous, trusting heart, and a devoted servant of Christ, he entered upon his missionary work with characteristic ardor and energy, and had already ploughed deep, and harrowed wide, when he was joined by a fellow la- 190 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. bourer, the Rev. John Hampton, of Scotland, sent out by the same society, and who had all of McKemie's untiring zeal and energy, but more of that strict, unbending spirit which, ever proud, watchful, suspicious, does not yield one jot of form or prin- ciple to time or circumstance. These deep characteristic elements necessarily enter- ed more or less into the congregations which grew up under their respective hands, and, with subsequent causes, appealing as tests to these distinguishing traits, gradu- ally prepared the way for that intermediate outgrowth of sentiment between rigid Scotch Presbyterianism and mild, but no less firm New England Congrega- tionalism. The first Presbytery (see preceding article) was composed of corresponding ele- ments, to wit., a mixture of Irish (McKemie, Davis, and McNish,) and Scotch, (Hampton, Taylor, and Wilson,) with (in Andrews) a tincture of Congregational Presbyterianism. These were all persons of strong individualities, and, as their la- bours conclusively showed, the very men to lay the foundation of that broad super- structure which exerts so powerful an influence on modern civilization. Under this moral combination of strong individualities, inflexible Scotch Presbyterianism, Irish zeal and mellow large-heartedness, and mild, earnest, but ever self-possessed New England Congregationalism, the genius of New School Presbyterianism was silently but steadily moulding. The Irish element had caught the spirit of the union of 1689; the Scotch had simply become a party to the union, without sacrificing one particle of its own characteristics. In 1724. the Scotch ministers began to bear their testimony against religious tole- ration. They desired to carry into effect the system to which they had been accus- tomed, in all its strictness, and demanded that the entire system of the Scottish Church be received in the American Presbyterian Church. This was met with a mild but firm remonstrance by a majority of the American ministers, a few of whom, however, carried beyond the bounds of discretion, so far forgot what was due to their own dignity, as to impeach the motives and the Christian integrity of their Scottish brethren, while others displayed more of the character of church politicians than of Christian ministers. The controversy waxed warmer and sharper, but at length subsided with the adopting act of 1729, which, introduced at a lull in the tempest, fell on the hearts of the silent but defiant disputants like oil upon a stormy sea. The peroration of that act was so full of the sentiment that subdues indivi- duals and nations, that we cannot resist quoting it. It was in these words : '; And the Synod do solemnly agree that none of us will traduce or use any opprobious terms towards those who differ from us in those extra-essential and not necessary points of doctrine, but treat them with the same friendship, kindness, and brotherly love, as if nothing had happened." The storm went down before these words, and for a time all was charity, kindly interest, and peace. But after some years, there was again evinced a determination to enforce, in all their strictness, the rigid forms of the Scotch Church. The American element resisted, at first, mildly, then firmly, then warmly, till feeling rose on both sides, first to a crisis, then to a collision, when the Synod divided, the " old side" standing as before, the " new" erecting them- selves into a new Synod, the Synod of New York. They remained separated fif- teen years, when noble spirits, in both Synods, succeeded in effecting a reconciliation and re-union under the title of the Synod of New York and Philadelphia. In 1796, eight years alter the reunion, another element entered into the combina- tion. In that year the Synod proposed a convention of delegates of the pastors of the Congregational, Consociated and Presbyterian Churches in North America. This convention, held annually lor ten years, when it was interrupted by the Revolution, did much towards fostering a liberal and generous spirit, and in making and cement- ing friendships which could not fail to exert a beneficent influence upon the mass. In 1790, two years after the organization of the General Assembly, that body, "being AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 191 peculiarly desirous to renew and strengthen every bond of union between brethren so nearly agreed in doctrine and forms of worship as the Presbyterian and Congrega- tional Churches evidently are, do resolve that the Congregational churches of New England be invited to renew this annual convention with the clergy of the Presby- terian Church." This resolution, so fraternal in its spirit, led to the memorable Plan of Union, whose operation is traced out in the preceding article (see Presbyterian Church, Old School). The sudden' and rapid multiplication of churches consequent upon the union of the two denominations, and the extraordinarily wide-spread awakening accompanying it was, as might be expected, attended by certain irregu- larities, of which the history of every revival furnishes too many. These did not escape the sharp eyes of the Old Schoolists, who converted them into weapons for assailing the revival itself, which they did not hesitate to pronounce a delusion. The New Schoolists rose up in indignation at the charge, which brought back in all their force, all the old prejudices and ill feelings which it was thought had been forever dissipated. The old party, however, would not retreat. On the contrary, they in- sisted upon order, in its strictest sense, and sternly demanded the bringing to trial of every church that walked with the least irregularity, and of every presbytery that did not exact the strictest account from its churches. Sentiments like ^these grate harshly on generous and sensitive ears. A whole presbytery went out, while in many that remained was slowly gathering that rebellious feeling which, in the state, the church, and minor societies, invariably finds its vent in revolution. The fraternal spirit of the original union of 1689, which had been breathed by the Irish missionaries, and by them communicated to the churches they had gathered, contributed to by the Congregational Presbyterianism of New England, perpetuated, deepened and widened by the fraternal Plan of Union of 1801, and the great awaken- ing attending the latter, had now been moulded into form, and was beginning to show itself instinct with life. Two missionary societies — the Domestic Missionary Society, and another under the General Assembly — the former an independent, and purely voluntary association, had for some time been laboring in the settlements on the western frontiers, when, at the suggestion of certain liberal friends of missions, the former was merged into the American Home Missionary, which in influence and success speedily left the Assembly's society far behind. To this society, the Congregationalists and the new school Presbyterians contributed with a liberality that gave to them a corresponding popularity. The plan of union, too, was having another moral effect : it was im- pressing its fraternal spirit upon the churches, with whom the "new side" party was every day and everywhere, in the East and West, growing more and more popular. To sum up, in proportion to their respective numbers, the contributions of the new school party to the pulpit and to benevolence, far exceeded those of the old side, while the growth, in ministers, churches, and numbers, was chiefly with the former, and it became evident that that party was steadily ascending to the control- ling influence. As before observed, the rapid advance of the church was here and there attended with certain irregularities in form and alleged errors in doctrine, which the old school now felt it necessary not merely to notice, but to notice with an exacting strictness that should serve as a warning to all the churches. The Rev. George Duffield, of Carlisle ; the Rev. Albert Barnes, of Philadelphia ; and the Rev. Lyman Beecher, of Cincinnati, were arraigned for heresy, and a demand made for their deposition from the ministry. The trials of these men each created a stir that penetrated to every society in the church. That of Albert Barnes in particular, brought out with greater distinctness than ever the doctrinal differences of the contending parties, and their respective sentiments as to voluntary benevolent associations, and the operations of fraternity with other denominations. It drew the lines, too, respecting liberality in V>2 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. doctrine and discipline with a tightness which, considering the spirit that had been silently leavening the church since the nnion of 1689 in Great Britain, and that which had entered into men since the Kevolution, could have but one result. While this was foreseen by old school men, they did not hesitate to prepare for and precipitate the crisis. Assuming for their motto and actuating impulse, Purity of Doctrine and Strict Order in Discipline, they took up their position, intent upon a struggle they determined should be decisive. Two parties had been in the church long enough, and they were resolved that thenceforth there should be but one, and that one them- selves. They had carefully taken their precautions, were entrenched and compact at every point, and united. The opposition, on the whole, had the advantage in num- bers, but were deficient in their preparations. They lacked organization, unity, and, beside, were wanting in that resolute spirit of contention which in conflict strives only for victory Many wanted heart to oppose brethren whose principles they re- spected and whose natures they loved. Nevertheless, as a body, they approached to the struggle. It was brief, but sharp and definitive. The conflict over, a long, broad, straight line ran between them. They were divided. The genius of New- Schoolism had taken full form, and now stood up, drawing vigorous breaths, and content, now that it had full life. Years have flown since then, and all traces of the conflict have long since passed away. Separation is better than unity, if unity is only in name, and separated the two schools are in concord. Each is doing its own good work, and both feel that 1 hey are laboring in the same vineyard and for the same approving smile. The differences of doctrine are stated in the preceding article. In form of govern- ment, ecclesiastical judicatories, and church offices, they are, on all points, alike. There is an important difference, however, in their benevolent operations. In the Old School body, these are carried On through ecclesiastical Boards, constituted by, and accountable to, the General Assembly. The New School churches co-operate with the Congregationalists in voluntary societies, such as the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign .Missions, American Home Missionary Society, American Sunday School Union, American Tract Society, &c, &c. CONFESSION OF FAITH. — PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, (NEW SCHOOL.) 1 . Of the Holy Scripture. — Although the light of nature, and the works of creation and providence, do so far manifest the goodness, wisdom, and power of God, as to leave men inexcusable ; yet are they not sufficient to give the knowledge of God, and of his will, which is necessary unto salvation. Therefore it pleased the Lord, at sundry times, and in divers maimers, to reveal himself, and to declare that his will unto his church; and afterwards for the better preserving and propagating of the truth, and for the more sure establishment and comfort of the church against the corruption of the flesh, and the malice of Satan and the world, to commit the same wholly unto writing ; which maketh the Holy Scripture to be most necessary ; those former ways of God's revealing his will unto his people being now ceased. Under the name of Holy Scripture, or the word of God written, are now contained all the books of the Old and New Testament, which are these : Of the Old Testament. — Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, I. Samuel, II. Samuel, I. Kings, II. Kings, I. Chronicles, II. Chroni- cles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, The Song of Songs, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi. Of the New Testament. — The Gospels according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, The Acts of the Apostles, Paul's Epistles to the Romans, I. Corinthians, II. Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, I. Thessalonians, II. Thessalonians, I. AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 193 To Timothy, II. To Timothy, To Titus, To Philemon, The Epistle to the Hebrews, The Epistle of James, The first and second Epistles of Peter, The first, second, and third Epistles of John, The Epistle of Jude, The Revelation. All which are given by inspiration of God, to be the rule of faith and life. The books commonly called Apochrypha, not being of divine inspiration, are no part of the canon of the Scripture ; and therefore are of no authority in the church of God, nor to be any otherwise approved, or made use of, than other human writings. The authority of the Holy Scripture, for which it ought to be believed and obeyed, dependeth not upon the testimony of any man, or church, but wholly upon God, (who is truth itself,) the author thereof; and therefore it is to be received, because it is the word of God. We may be moved and induced by the testimony of the church to an high and reverent esteem of the Holy Scripture. And the heavenliness of the matter, the effi- cacy of the doctrine, the majesty of the style, the consent of all the parts, the scope of the whole, (which is to give all glory to God,) the full discovery it makes of the only way of man's salvation, the many other incomparable excellencies, and the en- tire perfection thereof, are arguments whereby it doth abundantly evidence itself to be the word of God ; yet, notwithstanding, our full persuasion and assurance of the infallible truth, and divine anthority thereof, is from the inward work of the Holy Spirit, bearing witness by and with the word, in our hearts. The whole counsel of God, concerning all things necessary for his own glory, man's salvation, faith, and life, is either expressly set down in Scripture, or by good and necessary consequence may be deduced from Scripture ; unto which nothing at any- time is to be added, whether by new revelations of the Spirit, or traditions of men. Nevertheless, we acknowledge the inward illumination of the Spirit of God to be necessary, for the saving understanding of such things as are revealed in the word ; and that there are some circumstances concerning the worship of God, and govern- ment of the church, common to human actions and societies, which are to be ordered by the light of nature, and Christian prudence, according to the general rules of the word, which are always to be observed. All things in Scripture are not alike plain in themselves, nor alike clear unto all ; yet, those things which are necessary to be known, believed, and observed, for salva- tion, are so clearly propounded and opened in some place of Scripture or other, that not only the learned, but the unlearned, in a due use of the ordinary means, may attain unto a sufficient understanding of them. The Old Testament in Hebrew, (which was the native language of the people of God of old,) and the New Testament in Greek, which at the time of the writing of it was most generally known to the nations,) being immediately inspired by God, and by his singular care and providence kept pure in all ages, are therefore authentical ; so as, in all controversies of religion, the church is finally to appeal unto them. But, because these original tongues are not known to all the people of God, who have right unto, and interest in the Scriptures, and are commanded, in the fear of God, to read and search them, therefore they are to be translated into the vulgar language of every nation unto which they come, that the word of God dwelling plentifully in all, they may worship him in an acceptable manner; and, through patience and comfort of the Scriptures, may have hope. The infallible rule of interpretation of Scripture is the Scripture itself; and, there- fore, when there is a question about the true and full sense of any Scripture, (which is not manifold, but one,) it must be searched and known by other places that speak more clearly. The Supreme Judge, by which all controversies of religion are to be determined, and all decrees of councils, opinions of ancient writers, doctrines of men, and private 13 194 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. • spirits, are to be examined, and in whose sentence we are to rest, can be no other but the Holy Spirit speaking in the Scripture. 2. Of God and of (lie, Holy Trinity. — There is but one only living and true God, who is infinite in being and perfection, a most pure spirit, invisible, without body, parts, or passions, immutable, immense, eternal, incomprehensible, almighty, most wise, most holy, most free, most absolute, working all things according to the counsel of his own immutable and most righteous will, for his own glory ; most loving, gracious, merciful, long-suffering, abundant in goodness and truth, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin ; the rewarder of them that diligently seek him ; and withal most just and terrible in his judgments ; hating all sin, and who will by no means clear the guilt}'. God hath all life, glory, goodness, blessedness, in and of himself; and is alone in and unto himself all-sufficient, not standing in need of any creatures which he hath made, nor deriving any glory from them, but only manifesting his own glory, in, by, unto, and upon them ; he is the alone fountain of all being, of whom, through whom, and to whom, are all things, and hath most sovereign dominion over them, to do by them, for them, or upon them, whatsoever himself pleaseth. In his sight all things are open and manifest ; his knowledge is infinite, infallible, and independent upon the creature, so as nothing is to him contingent or uncertain. He is most holy in all his counsels, in all his works, and in all his commands. To him is clue from all angels and men, and every other creature, whatsoever worship, service, or obedience, he is pleased to require of them. In the unity of the Godhead there be three persons, of one substance, power, and eternity ; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. The Father is of none, neither begotten, nor proceeding ; the Son is eternally begotten of the Fa- ther ; the Holy Ghost eternally proceeding from the Father and the Son. 3. Of God's Eternal Decree. — God from all eternity did, by the most wise and holy counsel of his own will, freely and unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass ; yet so as thereby neither is God the author of sin, nor is violence offered to the will of the creatures, nor is the liberty or contingency of second causes taken away, but rather established. Although God knows whatsoever may or can come to pass upon all supposed con- ditions, yet hath he not decreed anything because he foresaw it as future, or as that which would come to pass upon such conditions. By the decree of God, for the manifestation of his glory, some men and angels are predestinated unto everlasting life, and others fore-ordained to everlasting death. These angels and men, thus predestinated and fore-ordained, are particularly and unchangeably designed ; and their number is so certain and definite, that it cannot be either increased or diminished. Those of mankind that are predestinated unto life, God, before the foundation of the world was laid, according to his eternal and immutable purpose, and the secret counsel and good pleasure of his will, hath chosen, in Christ, unto everlasting glory, out of his mere free grace and love, without any foresight of faith, or good works, or perseverance in either of them, or any other thing in the creature, as conditions, or causes moving him thereunto ; and all to the praise of his glorious grace, As God hath appointed the elect unto glory, so hath he, by the eternal and most free purpu.se of his will, fore-ordained all the means thereunto. Wherefore they who are elected, being fallen in Adam, are redeemed by Christ, are effectually called unto faith in Christ, by his Spirit working in due season ; are justified, adopted, sanctified, and kept by his power through faith unto salvation. Xeither are any other redeemed by Christ, effectually called, justified, adopted, sanctified, and saved, but the elect only. The rest of mankind God was pleased, according to the unsearchable counsel of AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 195 his own will, whereby he extendeth or withholdeth mercy, as he pleaseth, for the glory of his sovereign power over his creatures, to pass by, and to ordain them to dishonor and wrath for their sin, to the praise of his glorious justice. The doctrine of this high mystery of predestination is to be handled with special prudence and care, that men^ attending the will of God revealed in his word, and yielding obedience thereunto, may, from the certainty of their effectual vocation, be assured of their eternal election." So shall this doctrine afford matter of praise, re- verence, and admiration of God ; and of humility, diligence, and abundant consolation to all that sincerely obey the gospel. 4. Of Creation. — It pleased God, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, for the manifes- tation of the glory of his eternal power, wisdom and goodness, in the beginning, to create, or make of nothing, the world, and all things therein, whether visible or in- visible, in the space of six clays, and all very good. After God had made all other creatnres, he created man, male and female, with reasonable and immortal souls, endued with knowledge, righteousness, and true ho- liness, after his own image, having the law of God written in their hearts, and power to fulfill it ; and yet under a possibility of transgressing, being left to the liberty of their own will, which was subject unto change. Beside this law written in their hearts, they received a command, not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil ; which while they kept, they were happy in their communion with God, and had dominion over the creatures. 5. Of Providence. — God, the great Creator of all things, doth uphold, direct, dis" pose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by his most wise and holy providence, according to his infallible foreknowledge, and the free and immutable counsel of his own will, to the praise of the glory of his wis- dom, power, justice, goodness and mercy. Although, in relation to the foreknowledge and decree of God, the first Cause, all things come to pass immutably and infallibly, yet, by the same providence, he ordereth them to fall out, according to the nature of second causes, either necessarily, freely, or contingently. God, in his ordinary providence, maketh use of means, yet is free to work without, above, and against them, at his pleasure. The almighty power, unsearchable wisdom, and infinite goodness of God so far manifest themselves in his providence, that it extendeth itself even to the first fall, and all other sins of angels and men, and that not by a bare permission, but such as hath joined with it a most wise and powerful bounding, and otherwise ordering and governing of them, in a manifold dispensation, to his own holy ends ; yet so, as the sinfulness thereof proceedeth only from the creature, and not from God, who being most holy and righteous, neither is, nor can be, the author or approver of sin. The most wise, righteous, and gracious God doth oftentimes leave for a season his own children to manifold temptations, and the corruption of their own hearts, to chas- tise them for their former sins, or to discover unto them the hidden strength of cor- ruption, and deceitfulness of their hearts, that they may be humbled ; and to raise them to a more close and constant dependence for their support upon himself, and to make them more watchful against all future occasions of sin, and for sundry other just and holy ends. As for those wicked and ungodly men, whom God, as a righteous judge, for former sins, doth blind and harden, from them he not only withholdeth his grace, whereby they might have been enlightened in their understandings, and wrought upon in their hearts ; but sometimes also withdraweth the gifts which they had, and exposeth them to such objects as their corruption makes occasion of sin; and withal, gives them over to their own lusts, the temptations of the world, and the power of Satan ; 196 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. whereby it comes to pass that they harden themselves, even under those means which God useth for. the softening; of others. As the providence of God doth, in general, reach to all creatures, so, after a most special manner, it taketh care of his church, and disposeth all things to the good thereof. 6. Of the Fall of Man, of Sin, and of the Punishment thereof. — Our first parents, being seduced by the subtilty and temptation of Satan, sinned in eating the forbidden fruit. This their sin God was pleased, according to his wise and holy counsel, to permit, having purposed to order it to his own glory. By this sin they fell from their original righteousness and communion with God, and so became dead in sin, and wholly defiled in all the faculties and parts of soul and body. They being the root of all mankind, the guilt of this sin was imputed, and the same death in sin, and corrupted nature, conveyed to all their posterity descending from them by ordinary generation. Prom this original corruption, whereby we are utterly indisposed, disabled, and made opposite to all good, and wholly inclined- to ah evil, do proceed all actual trans- gressions. This corruption of nature, during this life, doth remain in those that are regener- ated ; and although it be, through Christ, pardoned and mortified, yet both itself, and all the motions thereof, are truly and properly sin. Every sin, both original and actual, being a transgression of the righteous law of God, and contrary thereunto, doth, in its own nature, bring guilt upon the sinner, whereby he is bound over to the wrath of God, and curse of the law, and so made subject to death, with all miseries, spiritual, temporal, and eternal. 7. Of God's Covenant with Mom. — The distance between God and the creature is so great, that although reasonable creatures do owe obedience unto him as their Creator, yet they could never have any fruition of him as their blessedness and reward, but by some voluntary condescension on God's part, which he hath been pleased to ex- press by way of covenant. The first covenant made with man was a covenant of "Works, wherein life was promised to Adam, and in him to his posterity, 'upon condition of perfect and per- sonal obedience. Man by 'his fall, having made himself incapable of life by that covenant, the Lord was pleased to make a second, commonly called the covenant of Grace ; wherein he freely offereth unto sinners life and salvation by Jesus Christ, requiring of them faith in him, that they may be saved, and promising to give, unto all those that are or- dained unto life, his Holy Spirit, to make them willing and able to believe. This covenant of grace is frequently set forth in the Scripture by the name of a testament, in reference to the death of Jesus Christ, the testator, and to the ever- lasting inheritance, with all things belonging to it, therein bequeathed. This covenant was differently administered in the time of the law, and in the time of the gospel ; under the law it was administered by promises, prophecies, sacrifices, circumcision, the paschal lamb, and other types and ordinances, delivered to the people of the Jews, all fore-signifying Christ to come, which were, for that time, sufficient and efficacious, through the operation of the Spirit, to instruct and build up the elect in faith in the promised Messiah, by whom they had full remission of sins, and eternal salvation ; and is called the Old Testament. Under the gospel, when Christ, the substance, was exhibited, the ordinances in which this covenant is dispensed, are the preaching of the word, and the adminis- tration of the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper ; which, though fewer in number, and administered with more simplicity, and less outward glory, yet in them it is held forth in more fullness, evidence, and spiritual efficacy, to all nations, AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 197 both Jews and Gentiles; and is called the New Testament. There are not, there- fore, two covenants of grace, differing in substance, but one and the same under various dispensations. 8. Of Christ the Mediator. — It pleased God, in his eternal purpose, to choose and ordain the Lord Jesus, his only-begotten Son, to be the mediator between God and man ; the prophet, priest, and king ; the head and saviour of his church, the heir of all things, and judge of the world : unto whom he did, from all eternity, give a peo- ple to be his seed, and to be by him in time redeemed, called, justified, sanctified, and glorified. The Son of God, the second person in the Trinity, being very and eternal God, of one substance, and equal with the Father, did, wrhen the fullness of time was come, take upon him man's nature, with all the essential properties and common infirmi- ties thereof, yet without sin : being conceived by the power of the Holy Ghost, in the womb of the Virgin Mary, of her substance. So that two whole, perfect, and distinct natures, the Godhead and the manhood, were inseparably joined together in one person, without conversion, composition, or confusion. Which person is very God, and very man, yet one Christ, the only mediator between God and man. The Lord Jesus, in his human nature thus united to the divine, was sanctified and anointed with the Holy Spirit above measure ; having in him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, in whom it pleased the Father that all fullness should dwell : to the end that being holy, harmless, undefiled, and full of grace and truth, he might be thoroughly furnished to execute the office of a mediator and surety. Which office he took not unto himself, but was thereunto called by his Father, who put all power and judgment into his hand, and gave him commandment to execute the same. This office the Lord Jesus did most willingly undertake : wdiich that he might dis- charge, he was made under the law, and did perfectly fulfill it ; endured most griev- ous torments immediately in his soul, and most painful sufferings in his body ; was crucified, and died ; was buried, and remained under the power of death : yet saw no corruption. On the third day he rose from the dead, with the same body in which he suffered ; writh which also he ascended into heaven, and there sitteth at the right hand of his Father, making intercession ; and shall return to judge men and angels at the end of the world. The Lord Jesus, by his perfect obedience and sacrifice of himself, which he through the eternal spirit once offered up unto God, hath fully satisfied the justice of his Fa- ther; and purchased, not only reconciliation, but an everlasting inheritance in the kingdom of heaven, for all those whom the Father hath given unto him. Although the work of redemption was not actually wrought by Christ till after his incarnation, yet the virtue, efficacy, and benefits thereof, were communicated unto the elect in all ages successively from the beginning of the world, in and by those promises, types, and sacrifices, wherein he was revealed, and signified to be the seed of the woman, which should bruise the serpent's head, and the Lamb slain from the beginning of the world, being yesterday and to-day, the same and forever. Christ, in the work of mediation, acteth according to both- natures ; by each na- ture doing that which is proper to itself; yet by reason of the unity of the person, that which is proper to one nature, is sometimes, in Scripture, attributed to the per- son denominated by the other nature. To all those for whom Christ hath purchased redemption, he doth certainly and effectually apply and communicate the same, making intercession for them, and re- vealing unto them, in and by the word, the mysteries of salvation ; effectually per- suading them, by his Spirit, to believe and obey ; and governing their hearts, by his word and Spirit ; overcoming all their enemies by his almighty power and wisdom, in such manner and ways as are most consonant to his wonderful and unsearchable dispensation. 193 AMERICAN* CHRISTIAN* RECORD. 9. Of Free Will. — God hath indued the will of man with that natural liberty, that it is neither forced, nor by any absolute necessity of nature determined to good or evil. Man, in his state of innocency, had freedom and power to will and to do that which is good and well-pleasing to God ; but yet mutably, so that he might fall from it. Man, by his fall into a state of sin, hath wholly lost all ability of will to any spir- itual good accompanying salvation ; so as a natural man, being altogether averse from that good, and dead in sin, is not able, by his own strength, Jto convert himself, or to prepare himself thereunto. When God converts a sinner, and translates him into the state of grace, he freeth him from his natural bondage under sin, and by his grace alone enables him freely to will and to do that which is spiritually good ; yet so, as that, by reason of his re- maining corruption, he doth not perfectly, nor only, will that which is good, but doth also will that which is evil. The will of a man is made perfectly and immutably free to good alone, in the state of glory only. 10. Of Effectual Calling. — All those whom God has predestinated unto life, and those only, he is pleased, in his appointed and accepted time, effectually to call, by his word and Spirit, out of that state of sin and death, in which they are by nature, to grace and salvation by Jesus Christ ; enlightening their minds, spiritually and savingly, to understand the things of God, taking away their heart of stone, and giving unto them a heart of flesh ; renewing their wills, and by his almighty jjower determining them to that which is good ; and effectually drawing them to Jesus Christ ; yet so as they come most freely, being made willing by his grace. This effectual call is of God's free and special grace alone, not from any thing at all foreseen in man, who is altogether passive therein, until, being quickened and re- newed by the Holy Spirit, he is thereby enabled to answer this call, and to embrace the grace offered and conveyed in it. Elect infants, dying in infancy, are regenerated and saved by Christ through the Spirit, who worketh when, and where, and how he pleaseth. So also are all other elect persons who are incapable of being outwardly called by the ministry of the word. Others, not elected, although they may be called by the ministry of the word, and may have some common operations of the Spirit, yet they never truly come to Christ. and, therefore, cannot be saved ; much less can men, not professing the Christian re- ligion, be saved in any other way whatsoever, be they never so diligent to frame their lives according to the light of nature, and the law of that religion they do pro- fess ; and to assert and maintain that they may is very pernicious, and to be detested. 11. Of Justification. — Those whom God effectually calleth, he also freely justitieth ; not by infusiug righteousness into them, but by pardoning their sins, and by account- ing and accepting their persons as righteous ; not for any thing wrought in them, or done by them, but for Christ's sake alone; not by imputing faith itself, the act of believing, or any other evangelical obedience to them, as their righteousness ; but by imputing the obedience and satisfaction of Christ unto them, they receiving and rest- ing on him and his righteousness by faith ; which faith they have, not of themselves, it is the gift of God. Faith, "thus receiving and resting on Christ and his righteousness, is the alone instrument of justification; yet is it not alone in the person justified, but is ever accompanied with all other saving graces, and is no dead faith, but worketh by love. Christ, by his obedience and death, did fully discharge the debt of all those that are thus justified, and did make a proper, real and full satisfaction to his Father's justice in their behalf. Yet, inasmuch as he was given by the Father for them, and AMERICAN CHRISTIAN* RECORD. 199 his obedience and satisfaction accepted in their stead, and both freely, not for any- thing in them, their justification is only of free grace ; that both the exact justice, and rich grace of God, might be glorified in the justification of sinners. God did, from all eternity, decree- to justify all the elect ; and Christ did, in the fullness of time, die for their sins, and rise again for their justification ; nevertheless, they are not justified, until the Holy Spirit doth, in due time, actually apply Christ unto them. God doth continue to forgive the sins of those that are justified ; and, although they can never fall from the state of justification, yet they may, by their sins, fall under God's fatherly displeasure, and not have the light of his countenance restored unto them, until they humble themselves, confess their sins, beg pardon, and renew their faith and repentance. The justification of believers under the Old Testament was, in all these respects, one and the same with the justification of believers under the New Testament. 12. Of Adoption. — All those that are justified, God vouchsafeth, in and for his only Son Jesus Christ, to make partakers of the grace of adoption, by which they are taken into the number, and enjoy the liberties and privileges of the children of God ; have his name put upon them ; receive the spirit of adoption ; have access to the throne of grace with boldness ; are enabled to cry Abba, Father ; are pitied, protected, provided for, and chastened by him as by a father ; yet never cast off, but sealed to the day of redemption, and inherit the promises, as heirs of everlasting salvation. 13. Of Sanctification. — They who are effectually called and regenerated, having a new heart and a new spirit created in them, are farther sanctified, really and per- sonally, through the virtue of Christ's death and resurrection, by his word and spirit dwelling in them ; the dominion of the whole body of sin is destroyed, and the several lusts thereof are more and more weakened and mortified, and they more and more quickened and strengthened, in all saving graces, to the practice of true holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. This sanctification is throughout in the whole man, yet imperfect in this life ; there abideth still some remnants of corruption in every part, whence ariseth a continual and irreconcileable war, the flesh lusting against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh. In which war, although the remaining corruption for a time may much prevail, yet, through the continual supply of strength from the sanctifying spirit of Christ, the regenerate part doth overcome ; and so the saints grow in grace, perlectin"- holi- ness in the fear of God. 14. Of Saving Faith. — The grace of faith, whereby the elect are enabled to believe to the saving of their souls, is the work of the Spirit of Christ in their hearts ; and is ordinarily wrought by the ministry of the word ; by which also, and by the adminis- tration of the sacraments, and prayer, it is increased and strengthened. By this faith, a Christian believeth to be true, whatsoever is revealed in the word, for the authority of God himself speaking therein ; and acteth differently, upon that which each particular passage thereof containeth ; yielding obedience to the com- mands, trembling at the threatnings, and embracing the promises of God for this life, and that which is to come. But the principal acts of saving faith are, accepting, re- ceiving, and resting upon Christ alone for justification, sanctification, and eternal life, by virtue of the covenant of grace. This faith is different in degrees, weak or strong ; may be often and many ways assailed and weakened, but gets the victory ; growing up in many to the attainment of a full assurance through Christ, who is both the author and finisher of our faith. 15. Of Repentance unto Life. — Repentance unto life is an evangelical grace, the doc- 200 AMERICAS CHRISTIAN RECORD. trine whereof is to be preached by every minister of the gospel, as well as that of faith in Christ. By it a sinner, out of the sight and sense, not only of the danger, but also of the fllthiness and odiousness of his sins, as contrary to the holy nature and righteous law of God, and upon the apprehension of his mercy in Christ to such as are penitent, so grieves for, and hates his sins, as to turn from them all unto G-od, purposing and endeavoring to walk with him, in all the ways of his commandments. Although repentance be not to be rested in as any satisfaction for sin, or any cause of the pardon thereof, which is the act of God's free grace in Christ ; yet is it of such necessity to all sinners, that none may expect pardon without it. As there is no sin so small but it deserves damnation ; so there is no sin so great, that it can bring damnation upon those who truly repent. Men ought not to content themselves with a general repentance, but it is every man's duty to endeavor to repent of his particular sins, particularly. As every man is bound to make private confession of his sins to God, praying for the pardon thereof; upon which, and the forsaking of them, he shall find mercy ; so he that scandalizeth his brother, or the church of Christ, ought to be willing, by a private or public confession and sorrow for his sin, to declare his repentance to those that are offended : who are thereupon to be reconciled to him, and in love to receive him. 16. Of Good ~\Yorks. — Good works are only such as God hath commanded in his holy word, and not such as, without the warrant thereof, are devised by men out of blind zeal, or upon any pretense of good intention. These good works, done in obedience to God's commandments, are the fruits and evidence of a true and lively faith : and by thenr believers manifest their thankful- ness, strengthen their assurance, edify their brethren, adorn the profession of the gospel, stop the mouths of the adversaries, and glorify God, whose workmanship they are, created in Christ Jesus thereunto, that, having their fruit unto holiness, they may have the end, eternal life. Their ability to do good works is not at all of themselves, but wholly from the Spirit of Christ. And that they may be enabled thereunto, besides the graces they have already received, there is required an actual influence of the same Holy Spirit, to work in them to will and to do, of his good pleasure ; yet are they not hereupon to grow negligent, as if they were not bound to perform any duty unless upon a spe- cial motion of the Spirit ; but they ought to be diligent in stirring up the grace of God that is in them. They, who in their obedience, attain to the greatest height which is possible in this life, are so far from being able to supererogate, and to do more than G od requires, as that they fall short of much which in duty they are bound to do. "We cannot, by our best works, merit pardon of sin, or eternal life at the hand of God, by reason of the great disproportion that is between them and the glory to come, and the infinite distance that is between us and God, whom, by them, Ave can neither profit nor satisfy for the debt of our former sins ; but when we have done all we can, we have done but our duty, and are unprofitable servants ; and because, as they are good, they proceed from his Spirit ; and, as they are wrought by us, they are defiled and mixed with so much weakness and imperfection that they cannot en- dure the severity of God's judgment. Yet notwithstanding, the persons of believers being accepted through Christ, their good works also are accepted in him, not as though they were in this life wholly unblamable and irreprovable in God's sight ; but that he, looking upon them in his Son, is pleased to accept and reward that which is sincere, although accompanied with many weaknesses and imperfections. "Works done by unregenerate men, although for the matter of them, they may be AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 201 things which G-od commands, and of good use both to themselves and others ; yet because they proceed not from a heart purified by faith ; nor are done in a right manner, according to the word ; nor to a right end, the glory of God ; . they are therefore sinful, and cannot please God, or make a man meet to receive grace from God. And yet, their neglect of them is more sinful and displeasing unto God. 17. Of the Perseverance of the Saints. — They, whom God hath accepted in his Beloved, effectually called and sanctified by his Spirit, can neither totally nor finally fall away from the state of grace ; but shall certainly persevere therein to the end, and be eternally saved. This perseverance of the saints depends, not upon their own free will, but upon the immutability of the decree of election, flowing from the free and unchangeable love of God the Father ; upon the efficacy of the merit and intercession of Jesus Christ ; the abiding of the Spirit and of the seed of God within them ; and the nature of the covenant of grace ; from all which ariseth also the certainty and infallibility thereof. Nevertheless, they may, through the temptations of Satan and of the world, the prevalence of corruption remaining in them, and the neglect of the means of their preservation, fall into grievous sins, and for a time continue therein : whereby they incur God's displeasure, and grieve his Holy Spirit ; come to be deprived of some measure of their graces and comforts ; have their hearts hardened, and their con- sciences wounded ; hurt and scandalise others, and bring temporal judgment upon themselves. 18. Of the Assurance of Grane and Salvation. — Although hypocrites, and other un- regenerate men, may vainly deceive themselves with false hopes and carnal pre- sumptions of being in the favor of God and estate of salvation; which hope of theirs shall perish : yet such as truly believe in the Lord Jesus, and love him in sincerity, endeavoring to walk in all good conscience before him, may in this life be certainly assured that they are in a state of grace, and may rejoice in the hope of the glory of God; which hope shall never make them ashamed. This certainly is not a bare conjectural and probable persuasion, grounded upon a fallible hope ; but an infallible assurance of faith, founded upon the divine truth of the promises of salvation, the inward evidence of those graces unto which these promises are made, the testimony of the Spirit of adoption witnessing with our spirits that we are the children of God : which Spirit is the earnest of our inheritances, whereby we are sealed to the day of redemption. This infallible assurance doth not so belong to the essence of faith, but that a true believer may wait long, and conflict with many difficulties before he be partaker of it ; yet, being enabled by the Spirit to know the things which are freely given him of God, he may, without extraordinary revelation, in the right use of ordinary means, attain thereunto. And therefore it is the duty of every one to give all diligence to make his calling and election sure ; that thereby his heart may be enlarged in peace and joy in the Holy G-host, in love and thankfulness to God, and in strength and cheerfulness in the duties of obedience, the proper fruits of this assurance : so far is it from inclining men to looseness. True believers may have the assurance of their salvation divers way shaken, di- minished, and intermitted ; as, by negligence in preserving of it ; by falling into some special sin, which woundeth the conscience, and grieveth the Spirit ; by some sud- den or vehement temptation ; by God's withdrawing the light of his countenance, and suffering even such as fear him to walk in darkness, and to have no light. Yet are they never utterly destitute of that seed of God, and life of faith, that love of Christ and the brethren, that sincerity of heart and conscience of duty out of which, by the operation of the Spirit, this assurance may in due time be revived, and by the which, in the mean time, they are supported from utter despair. 202 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD, 19. Of the law of God. — God gave to Adam a law, as a covenant of works, "by which he bound him and all his posterity to personal, entire, exact, and perpetual obedi- ence ; promised life upon the fulfilling, and threatened death upon the breach of it ; and endued him with power and ability to keep it. This law, after his fall, continued to be a perfect rule of righteousness; and, as such, was delivered by God upon mount Sinai in ten commandments, and written in two tables ; the first four commandments containing our duty towards God, and the other six our duty to man. Besides this law, commonly called moral, God was pleased to give to the people of Israel, as a church under age, ceremonial laws, containing several typical ordi- nances, partly of worship, prefiguring Christ, his graces, actions, sufferings, and benefits ; and partly holding forth divers instructions of moral duties. All which ceremonial laws are now abrogated under the New Testament. To them also, as a body politic, he gave sundry judicial laws, which expired to- gether with the State of that people, not obliging any other now, further than the general equity thereof may require. The moral law doth for ever bind all, as well justified persons as others, to the obedience thereof ; and that not only in regard of the matter contained in it, but also in respect of the authority of God the Creator who gave it. Neither doth Christ in the gospel any way dissolve, but much strengthen, this obligation. Although true believers be not under the law as a covenant of works, to be there- by justified or condemned; yet is it of great use to them, as well as to others; in that, as a rule of life, informing them of the will of God and their duty, it directs and binds them to walk accordingly ; discovering also the sinful pollutions of their na- ture, hearts, and lives ; so as, examining themselves thereby, they may come to fur- ther conviction of. humiliation for, and hatred against sin ; together with a clearer sight of the need they have of Christ, and the perfection of his obedience. It is like- wise of use to the regenerate, to restrain their corruptions, in that it forbids sin ; and the threatenings of it serve to show what even their sins deserve, and what afflic- tions in this life they may expect for them, although freed from the curse thereof threatened in the law. The promises of it, in like manner, show them God's appro- bation of obedience, and what blessings they may expect upon the performance thereof; although not as due to them by the law as a covenant of works : so as, a man's doing good, and refraining from evil, because the law encourageth to the one, and deterreth from the other, is no evidence of his being under the law, and not un- der grace. Neither are the forementioned uses of the law contrary to the grace of the gospel, but do sweetly comply with it : the Spirit of Christ subduing and enabling the will of man to do that freely and cheerfully, which the will of God, revealed in the law, requireth to be done. 20. Of Christian Liberty, and Libert}/ of Conscience. — The liberty which Christ hath purchased for believers under the gospel consists in their freedom from the guilt of sin, th-3 condemning wrath of God, the curse of the moral law; and in their being delivered from this present evil world, bondage to Satan, and dominion of sin, from the evil of afflictions, the sting of death, the victory of the grave, and everlasting dam- nation ; as also in their free access to God, and their yielding obedience uuto him* not out of slavish fear, but a child-like love, and willing mind. All which were com- mon also to believers under the law ; but under the New Testament, the liberty of Christiana is further enlarged in their freedom from the yoke of the ceremonial law, to which the Jewish church was subjected ; and in greater boldness of access to the throne of grace, and in fuller communieations of the free Spirit of God, than believers under the law did ordinarily partake of. God alone is Lord of the conscience, and hath left it free from the doctrines and AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 203 commandments of men, which are in any thing contrary to his word, or beside it, in matters of faith or worship. So that to believe such doctrines, or to obey such com- mandments out of conscience, is to betray true liberty of conscience ; and the re- quiring an implicit faith, and an absolute and blind obedience, is to destroy liberty of conscience, and reason also. They who, upon pretence of Christian liberty, do practise any sin, or cherish any lust, do thereby destroy the end of Christian liberty ; which is. that, being delivered out of the hands of our enemies, we might serve the Lord without fear, in holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. And because the powers which God hath ordained and the liberty which Christ hath purchased, are not intended by God to destroy, but mutually to uphold and preserve one another ; they who, upon pretence of Christian liberty, shall oppose any lawful power, or the lawful exercise of it, whether it be civil or ecclesiastical, resist the ordinance of God. And for their publishing of such opinions, or maintain* ing of such practices, as are contrary to the light of nature, or to the known prin* ciples of Christianity, whether concerning faith, worship, or conversation ; or to the power of godliness ; or such erroneous opinions or practices, as, either in their own nature, or in the manner of publishing or maintaining them, are destructive to the external peace and order which Christ hath established in the church; they may lawfully be called to account, and proceeded against by the censures of the church. 21. Of Religious Worship and the Sabbath-Day. — The light of nature showeth that there is a God, who hath lordship and sovereignty over all ; is good, and doeth good unto all ; and is therefore to be feared, loved, praised, called upon, trusted in, and served with all the heart, and with all the soul, and with all the might. But the acceptable way of worshipping the true God is instituted by himself, and so limited by his own revealed will, that he may not be worshipped according to the imagina- tions and devices of men, or the suggestions of Satan, under any visible representa- tion or any other way not prescribed in the Holy Scripture. Religious worship is to be given to God, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost ; and to him alone ; not to angels, saints, or any other creature ; and since the fall, not without a Mediator, nor in the mediation of any other but of Christ alone. Prayer with thanksgiving, being one special part of religious worship, is by God required of all men; and that it may be accepted, it is to be made in the name of the Son, by the help of his Spirit, according to his will, with understanding, rever- ence, humility, fervency, faith, love, and perseverance ; and, if vocal, in a known tongue. Prayer is to be made for things lawful, and for all sorts of men livingj or that shall live hereafter; but not for the dead, nor for those of whom it may be known that they have sinned the sin unto death. The reading of the Scriptures with godly fear ; the sound preaching, and conscion* able hearing of the word, in obedience unto God, with understanding, faith, and reverence; singing of psalms with grace in the heart; as, also, the due administra- tion and worthy receiving of the sacraments instituted by Christ ; ore all parts cf the ordinary religious worship of God ; besides religious oaths, and vows, solemn fastings, and thanksgivings upon special occasions; which are, in their several times and seasons, to be used in an holy and religious manner. Neither prayer, nor any other part of religious worship, is now, under the gospel, either tied unto, or made more acceptable by any place in which it is performed, or towards which it is directed ; that God is to be worshipped every where, in spirit and in truth ; as in private families, daily, and in secret each one by himself, so more solemnl}'" in the public assemblies, which are not carelessly or wilfully to be neg- lected or forsaken, whom God, by his word or providence, calleth thereunto. As it is of the law of nature, that, in general, a due proportion of time be set apart 204 AMERICAS* CHRISTIAN RECORD. for the worship of God ; so, in his word, by a positive, moral, and perpetual com- mandment, binding all men in all ages, he hath particularly appointed one day in seven for a Sabbath, to be kept holy unto him ; which, from the beginning of the world to the resurrection of Christ, was the last day of the week ; and, from the resur- rection of Christ, was changed into the first day of the week, which in Scripture is called the Lord's Day, and is to be continued to the end of the world, as the Christian Sabbath* This Sabbath is then kept holy unto the Lord, when men, after a due preparing of their hearts, and ordering of their common affairs beforehand, do not only observe an holy rest all the day from their own works, Words and thoughts, about their worldly employments and recreations ; but also are taken up the whole time in the public and private exercises of his worship, and in the duties of necessity and mercy. 22. Of Lo,wful Oaths and Vows. — A lawful oath is a part of religious worship, wherein, upon just occasion, the person swearing, solemnly calleth G-od to witness what he asserteth or promiseth, and to judge him according to the truth or falsehood of what he sweareth. The name of God only is that by which men ought to swear, and therein it is to b9 used with all holy fear and reverence ; therefore, to swear vainly or rashly by that glorious and dreadful name, or to swear at all by any other thing, is sinful, and to be abhorred. Yet as, in matters of weight and moment, an oath is warranted by the word of God under the New Testament, as well as under the Old, so a lawful oath, being imposed by lawful authority, in such matters ought to be taken. "Whosoever taketh an oath ought duly to consider the weightiness of so solemn an act, and therein to avouch nothing but what he is fully persuaded is the truth. Neither may any man bind himself by oath to any thing but what is good and just, and what he believeth so to be, and what he is able and resolved to perform. Yet it is a sin to refuse an oath touching any thing that is good and just, being imposed by lawful authoritj'. An oath is to be taken in the plain and common sense of the words, without equi- vocation or mental reservation. It cannot oblige to sin; but in anything not sinful, being taken, it binds to performance, although to a man's own hurt ; nor is it to be violated, although made to heretics or infidels. A vow is of the like nature with a promissory oath, and ought to be made with the like religious care, and to be performed with the like faithfulness. It is not to be made to any creature, but to God alone ; and that it may be ae- cepted, it is to be made voluntarily, out of faith, and conscience of duty, in way of thankfulness for mercy received, or for the obtaining of what we want; whereby we more strictly bind ourselves to necessary duties, or to other things, so far and so long as they may fitly conduce thereunto. No man may vow to do any thing forbidden in the word of God. or what would hinder any duty therein commanded, or which is not in his own power, and for the performance whereof he hath no promise or ability from God. In which respects, popish monaslical vows of perpetual single life, professed poverty, and regular obe- dience, are so far from being degrees of higher perfection, that they are superstitious and sinful snares, in which no Christian may entangle himself. 23. Of (he Civil Magistrate, — God, the Supreme Lord and King of all the world, hath ordained civil magistrates to be under him over the people, for his own glory and the public good, and to this end, hath armed them with the power of the sword, for the defence and encouragement of them that are good, and for the punishment of evil doers. It is lawful for Christians to accept and execute the office of a magistrate, when called thereunto; in the managing whereof, as they ought especially to maintain piety, justice and peace, according to the wholesome laws of each commonwealth, AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 205 so, for that end, they may lawfully, now under the New Testament, wage war upon just and necessary occasions. Civil magistrates may not assume to themselves the administration of the word and sacraments ; or the power of the keys of the kingdom of heaven ; or, in the least, in- terfere in matters of faith. Yet as nursing fathers, it is the duty of civil magistrates to protect the Church of our common Lord, without giving the preference to any de- nomination of Christians above the rest, in such a manner, that all ecclesiastical persons whatever shall enjoy the full, free, and unquestioned liberty of discharging every part of their sacred functions, without violence or danger. And, as Jesus Christ hath appointed a regular government and discipline in his church, no law of any commonwealth should interfere with, let, or hinder, the due exercise thereof, among the voluntary members of any denomination of Christians, according to their own profession and belief. It is the duty of civil magistrates to protect the person and good name of all their people, in such an effectual manner as that no person bo suffered, either upon pretence of religion or infidelity, to offer any indignity, violence, abuse, or injury to any other person whatsover ; and to take order, that all religious and ecclesiastical assemblies be held without molestation or disturbance. It is the duty of people to pray for magistrates, to honor their persons, to pay them tribute and other dues, to obey their lawful commands, and to be subject to their authority, for conscience' sake. Infidelity, or difference in religion, doth not make void the magistrate's just and legal authority, nor free the people from their due obedience to him ; from which ecclesiastical persons are not exempted ; much less hath the Pope any power or jurisdiction over them in their dominions, or over any of their people ; and least of all to deprive them of their dominions or lives, if he shall judge them to be heretics, or upon any other pretence whatsoever. 24. Of Marriage and Divorce. — Marriage is to be between one man and one woman ; neither is it lawful for any man to have more than one wife, nor for any woman to have more than one husband at the same time. Marriage was ordained for the mutual help of husband and wife ; for the increase of mankind with a legitimate issue, and of the Church with an holy seed ; and for preventing of uncleanness. It is lawful for all sorts of people to marry who are able with judgment to give their consent, yet it is the duty of Christians to marry only in the Lord. And, there- fore, such as profess ±he true reformed religion should not marry with Infidels, Pa- pists, or other idolaters ; neither should such as are godly be unequally yoked, by marrying with such as are notoriously wicked in their life, or maintain damnable heresies. Marriage ought not to be within the degrees of consanguinity or affinity forbidden in the word; nor can such incestuous marriages ever be made lawful by any law of man, or consent of parties, so as those persons may live together as man and wife. The man may not marry any of his wife's kindred nearer in blood than he may of lus own, nor the woman of her husband's kindred nearer in blood than of her own. Adultery or fornication, committed after a contract, being detected before marriage, giveth just occasion to the innocent party to dissolve that contract. In the case of adultery after marriage, it is lawful for the innocent party to sue out a divorce, and after the divorce to marry another, as if "the offending party were dead. Although the corruption of man be such, as is apt to study arguments unduly to put asunder those whom God hath joined together in marriage ; yet nothing but adultery, or such wilful desertion as can no way be remedied by the Church or civil magistrate, is cause sufficient of dissolving the bond of marriage ; wherein a public and orderly course of proceeding is to be observed ; and the persons concerned in it not left to their own wills and discretion in their own case. 25. Of the Church. — The catholic or universal Church, which is invisible, consists 206 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. of the whole number of the elect, that have been, are, or shall be gathered into one, under Christ the head thereof; and is the spouse, the body, the fullness of him that iilleth all in all. The visible Church, which is also catholic or universal under the gospel (not con- fined to one nation, as before under the law), consists of all those throughout the world, that profess the true religion, together with their children; and is the king- dom of the Lord Jesus Christ, the house and family of God, out of which there is no ordinary possibility of salvation. Unto this catholic visible Church, Christ hath given the ministry, oracles, and or- dinances of God, for the gathering and perfecting of the saints, in this life, to the end of the world: and doth by his own presence and Spirit, acccording to his promise, make them effectual thereunto. This catholic Church hath been sometimes more, sometimes less, visible. And particular churches, which are members thereof, are more or less pure, according as the doctrine of the gospel is taught and embraced, ordinances administered, and pub- lic worship performed more or less purely in them. The purest churches under heaven are subject both to mixture and error: and some have so degenerated, as to become no churches of Christ, but synagogues of Satan. Nevertheless, there shall be always a Church on earth, to worship God ac- cording to his will. There is no other head of the Church but the Lord Jesus Christ. Nor can the Pope of Rome in any sense be head thereof; but is that anti-christ, that man of sin, and son of perdition, that exalteth himself, in the Church, against Christ, and all that is called God. 26. Of Communion of Saints. — All saints that are united to Jesus Christ their head, by his Spirit and by faith, have fellowship with him in his graces, sufferings, death, resurrection, and glory: and, being united to one another in love, they have communion in each other's gifts and graces, and are obliged to the performance of sucb duties, public and private, as do conduce to their mutual good, both in the iu- ward and outward man. Saints, by profession, are bound to maintain an holy fellowship and communion in the worship of God, and in performing such other spiritual services as tend to their mutual edification ; as also in relieving each other in outward things, according to their several abilities and necessities. Which communion, as God oifereth opportu- nity, is to be extended unto all those who, in every place, call upon the name of iho Lord Jesus. This communion, which the saints have with Christ, doth not make them in any wise partakers of the substance of his Godhead, or to be equal with Christ in any respect: either of which to affirm, is impious and blasphemous. . Nor doth their com- munion one with another, as saints, take away, or infringe the title or property which each man hath, in his goods and possessions. 27. Of the Sacraments. — Sacraments are holy signs and seals of the covenant of grace, immediately instituted by God, to represent Christ and his benefits, and to confirm our interest in him ; as also to put a visible difference between those that belong unto the church, and the rest of the world; and solemnly to engage them to the service of God in Chvist, according to his word. There is, in every sacrament, a spiritual relation or sacramental union, between the sign and the thing signified ; whence it comes to pass, that the names and effects of the one are attributed to the other. The grace which is exhibited in or by the sacraments rightly used, is not conferred by any power in them ; neither doth the efficacy of a sacrament depend upon the piety or intention of him that doth administer it, but upon the work of the Spirit and AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 207 the word of institution, which contains, together with a precept authorising the use thereof, a promise of benefit to worthy receivers. There be only two sacraments ordained by Christ our Lord in the Gospel, that is to say, Baptism and the Supper of the Lord: neither of which may be dispensed by any but by a minister of the word, lawfully ordained. The Sacraments of the Old Testament, in regard of the spiritual things thereby signified and exhibited were, for substance, the same with those of the New. 28. Of Baptism. — Baptism is a sacrament of the Xew Testament, ordained by Jesus Christ, not only for the solemn admission of the party baptised into the visible church, but also to be unto him a sign and seal of the covenant of grace, of his in- grafting into Christ, of regeneration, of remission of sins, and of his giving up iinto God, through Jesus Christ, to walk in newness of life : which sacrament is, by Christ's own appointment, to be continued in his Church until, the end of the world. The outward element to be used in this sacrament is water, wherewith the party is to be baptised in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, by a minister of the Gospel, lawfully called thereunto. Dipping of the person into water is not necessary ; but baptism is rightly admin- istered by pouring or sprinkling water upon the person. Not only those that do actually profess faith in and obedience unto Christ, but also the infants of one or both believing parents are to be baptised. Although it be a great sin to condemn or neglect this ordinance, yet grace and salvation are not so inseparably annexed unto it, as that no person can be regen- erated or saved without it, or that all that are baptised are undoubtedly regen- erated. The efficacy of baptism is not tied to that moment of time wherein it is adminis- tered ; yet, notwithstanding, by the right use of this ordinance, the grace promised is not only offered, but reahy exhibited and conferred by the Holy Ghost to such (whether of age or infants) as that grace belongeth unto, according to the counsel of God's own will, in his appointed time. The sacrament of baptism is but once to be administered to any person. 29. Of the Lord's Sapper. — Our Lord Jesus, in the night wherein ho was betrayed, instituted the sacrament of his body and blood, called the Lord's Supper, to be ob- served in his Church unto the end of the world; for the perpetual remembrance of the sacrifice of himself in his death, the sealing all benefits thereof unto true believers, their spiritual nourishment and growth in him, their further engagement in and to all duties which they owe unto him; and to be a bond and pledge of their communion with him, and with each other, as members of his mystical body. In this sacrament, Christ is not offered up to his Father, nor any real sacrifice made at all, for the remission of sins of the quick or dead ; but only a commemora- tion of that one offering up of himself by himself, upon the cross, once for all, and a spiritual oblation of all possible praise unto God for the same; so that the popish sacrifice of the mass, as they call it, is most abominably injurious to Christ's one only sacrifice, the alone propitiation for all the sins of the elect. The Lord Jesus hath, in this ordinance, appointed his ministers to declare his won' of institution to the people, to pray, and bless the elements of bread and wine, and thereby to set them apart from a common to an holy use ; and to take and break the bread, to take the cup, and (they communicating also themselves) to give both to the communicants ; but to none who are not then present in the congregation. Private masses, or receiving this sacrament by a priest or any other alone ; as like- wise the denial of the cup to the people, worshipping the elements, the lifting them up, or carrying them about for adoration, and the reserving them for any pretended reli<>-ious use, are all contrary to the nature of this sacrament, and to the institution of Christ. 208 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. The outward elements in this sacrament, duly set apart to the uses ordained by Christ, have such relation to him crucified, as that truly, yet sacramentally only, they are sometimes called by the name of the things they represent, to wit: the body and blood of Christ ; albeit, in substance and nature, they still remain truly and only bread and wine, as they were before. That doctrine which maintains a change of the substance of bread and wine, into the substance of Christ's body and blood (commonly called transubstantiation) by consecration of a priest, or by any other way, is repugnant, not to Scripture alone, but even to common sense and reason ; overthroweth the nature of the sacrament ; and hath been, and is, the cause of manifold superstitions, yea, of gross idolatries. Worthy receivers, outwardly partaking of the visible elements in. this sacrament, do then also inwardly by faith, really and indeed, yet not carnally and corporally, but spiritually, receive and feed upon Christ crucified, and all benefits of his death ; the body and blood of Christ being then not corporally or carnally in, with, or under the bread aud wine ; yet as really, but spiritually, present to the faith of believers in that ordinance, as the elements themselves are to their outward senses. Although ignorant and wicked men receive the outward elements in this sacra- ment, yet they receive not the thing signified thereby ; but, by their unworthy coming thereunto, are guilty of the body and blood of the Lord, to their own damnation. "Wherefore, all ignorant and ungodly persons, as they are unfit to enjoy communion with him, so are they unworthy of the Lord's table, and cannot, without great sin against Christ, while they remain such, partake of these holy mysteries, or be ad- mitted thereunto. 30. Of Church Censures. — The Lord Jesus, as king and head of his Church, hath therein appointed a government, in the hand of church-officers, distinct from the civil magistrate. To these officers the keys of the kingdom of heaven are committed, by virtue whereof they have power respectively to retain and remit sins, to shut that kingdom against the impenitent, both by the word and censures ; and to open it unto penitent sinners, by the ministry of the gospel, and by absolution from censures, as occasion shall require. Church censures are necessary for the reclaiming and gaining of offending brethren ; for deterring of others from the like offences ; for purging out of that leaven which might infect the whole lump ; for vindicating the honor of Christ, and the holy pro- fession of the gospel; and for preventing the wrath of God, which might justly fall upon the Church, if they should suffer his covenant, and the seals thereof, to be pro- faned by notorious and obstinate offenders. For the better attaining of these ends, the officers of the Church are to proceed by admonition, suspension irom the sacrament of the Lord's Supper for a season, and by excommunication from the Church, according to the nature of the crime, and demerit of the person. 31. Of Synods and Councils. — For the better government and further edification ot the Church, there ought to be such assemblies as are commonly called Synods or Councils; and it belongeth to the overseers and other rulers of the particular churches, by virtue of their office, and the power which Christ hath given them for edification, and not for destruction, to appoint such assemblies; and to convene to- gether in them, as often as they shall judge it expedient for the good of the Church. It belongeth to Synods and Councils, ministerially to determine controversies oi faith, and cases of conscience ; to set down rules and directions for the better order- ing of the pubhc worship of God, aud government of his Church ; to receive com- plaints incases of maladministration, and authoritatively to determine the same; which decrees and determinations, if consonant to the word of God, are to be re- ceived with reverence and submission, not only for their agreement with the word, AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 209 but also for the power whereby they are made, as being an ordinance of God, ap- pointed thereunto in his word. All Synods or Councils since the apostles' times, whether general or particular, may err, and many have erred ; therefore they are not to be made the rule of faith or practice, but to be used as a help in both. Synods and Councils are to handle or conclude nothing but that which is ecclesias- tical; and are not to intermeddle with civil affairs which concern the common- wealth, unless by way of humble petition in cases extraordinary; or by way of ad- vice for satisfaction of conscience, if they be thereunto required by the civil magis- trate. 32. Of the Slate of Men after Death, and of the Resurrection of the Dead. — The bodies of men, after death, return to dust, and see corruption ; but their souls (which neither die nor sleep), having an immortal subsistence, immediately return to God who gave them. The souls of the righteous, being then made perfect in holiness, are received into the highest heavens, where they behold the lace of God in light and glory, waiting for the full redemption of their bodies ; and the souls of the wicked are cast into hell, where they remain in torments and utter darkness, reserved to the judg- ment of the great day. Besides these two places for souls separated from their bodies, the Scripture acknowledgeth none. At the last day, such as are found alive shall not die, but be changed ; and all the dead shall be raised up with the self-same bodies, and none other, although with different qualities, which shall be united again to their souls for ever. The bodies of the unjust shall, by the power of Christ, be raised to dishonor ; the bodies of the just, by his Spirit, unto honor, and be made conformable to his own glorious body. 33. Of the Last Judgment. — God hath appointed a day, wherein he will judge the world in righteousness by Jesus, to whom all power and judgment is given of tho Father. In which day, not only the apostate angels shall be judged, but likewise all persons, that have lived upon earth, shall appear before the tribunal of Christ, to give an account of their thoughts, words, and deeds; and to receive according to what they have done in the body, whether good or evil. The end of God's appointing this day is fur the manifestation of the glory of his mercy in the eternal salvation of the elect ; and of his justice in the damnation of tho reprobate, who are wicked and disobedient. For then shall the righteous go into everlasting life, and receive that fulness of joy and refreshing which shall come from the presence of the Lord ; but the wicked, who know not God, and obey not the gos- pel of Jesus Christ, shall be cast into eternal torments, and be punished with ever- lasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power. As Christ would have us to be certainly persuaded that there shall be a day of judgment, both to deter all men from sin, and for the greater consolation of the godly in their adversity : so will he have that day unknown to men, that they may shake off all carnal security, and be always watchful, because they know not at what hour the Lord will come ; and may be ever prepared to sajT, Come, Lord Jesus, come quickly. Amen. The Xew School churches have several theological seminaries, among which mav be mentioned '-Lane," "Union," the ''Philadelphia Education Society," the "Central Am. Educ. Soc," &c, &c, all of which are liberally sustained. In literature, New School pens have made upon the recording column of the time marks at least as brilliant and enduring, if not so numerous, as those of elder brethren. In periodicals they are opulent, having a considerable number, weekly and other that accurately represent them on all standard as well as passing topics • amon<* 210 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. which may bo mentioned, we trust without invidiousness, The New York Evan,' grfit. a weekly of large size, quarto form, and edited with an ability as marked as its wholesome contents are various.

They have 23 Synods, 108 Presbyteries, 1545 ministers, 1542 churches, and a membership of 137,990. CUMBERLAND PRESBYTERIANS. At the close of the last century, the religious and moral state of Kentucky and Tennessee was very low. There were but few schools or churches, and in both States but a limited number of ministers. The piety of professing Christians was of a questionable character. Both clergy and laity were accustomed to a free use of ardent spirits; the Sabbath was but little respected; and gambling and profanity universal. Early in 1800, certain ministers of the Presbyterian Church, mourning over this state of moral affairs, took counsel together, and resolved to make an effort to bring about a better. They entered into solemn covenants to observe certain hours in concert at a throne of grace. They prayed, they preached, they expostulated. A great revival was at this time exerting a beneficent influence in the Eastern, Middle, and Western States — the South-western alone seemed to be excluded from any share in the awakening. The council were sad. but not discouraged. They prayed and preached only the more heartily, trusting, with unwavering faith, in the promises of God. At length their prayers were heard : a brighter day dawned. The presence of the Spirit became visible in several congregations. The interest increased. Congre- gation after congregation, neighborhood after neighborhood awoke ; and, by-ancl-by, surrounding counties also, through which the holy influence spread like heavenly light ; nor staying here, but deepening and extending, till even the neighboring States, on every side, had partaken of the blessing. A great want of ministers was now felt, to lead and take charge of the numerous congregations that had been gathered. But how to supply this want was a question. The church already had more pulpits than ministers to fill them ; and usage and the discipline authorised to be set apart to the sacred office only men of a sound classical, as well as theological education. What was to be clone ? Leave the sheep without shepherds ; let the holy fire expire, the awakened to fall back ? The question was a trying one. Pious men, talented men, men full up to all the requirements — except in a knowledge of the dead languages — there were in plenty. But the country was young, the South-western field younger, and pious persons of classical attainments were few and far between. What was to be done ? The churches, the ministers, the Presbytery of Transylvania were perplexed. At length, a member of the presbytery was found willing to take the respons'- bility. The Rev. Mr. Rice, the oldest Presbyterian clergyman in Kentucky, sug- gested that, in view of the necessity of the case, it would be right and proper to h- duct into the ministry pious and talented young men, with or without classic attain- ments. The suggestion was received, and three persons of known piet}r, talent and ?,eaL Messrs. Anderson, Ewing and King, were encouraged to prepare and present AMERICAN CHRISrjAN RECORD. 211 to the presbytery three written discourses, which were found eminently satisfactory. They were then examined on literature and theology, through which they also passed successfully, when they were tried article by article on the Presbyterian confession of faith, to which they assented on all points except those of predestination and elec- tion, in which, witli many even in the presbytery, they did not believe. Their de nial of these doctrines caused a commotion; a portion of the presbytery warmly in sisting that without acceding to every point in the confession of faith, the candidates should not be licensed. The discussion grew hot, but it finally subsided, and the young men were licensed, and, in process of time, ordained. In 1802, the Synod divided the Presbytery of Transylvania and created a new one, called Cumberland Presbytery. At the fourth meeting of the latter, in 180-4, a mi- nority of three complained to the Synod of the irregularity of the above licenses and ordinations, and that body appointed a commission to inquire into the case. The commission ordered the presbyter}', and all its ordained ministers and licentiates, to appear before them for re-examination. The presbytery complied; but the ministers and licentiates, not recognising the authority of the commission, refused. The pres- bytery jus tilled the ordinations and licenses on the ground of necessity; but the plea was not received by the commission, who demanded the surrender of the ordained ministers and licentiates. The presbytery declined, as such a course was subversive of its authority and independence. The commission then cited the presbytery be- fore the synod, and prohibited the ordained ministers and licentiates from all further exercise of their offices. The prohibition fell upon the churches, the ministers and the licentiates, like a ter- rible blow. The churches saw themselves cut off from the ordinances; the ministers — many of whom had charge of several churches, located in different neighborhoods — from following up their labors ; the licentiates — who itinerated, and had appointments weeks before them — from keeping their engagements. Divine services, the ordinan- ces, and engagements for instituting new preaching stations, organising churches, solemnising marriages, administering baptism and the Lord's Supper, meeting the serious, and receiving persons into the church — all, all was frustrated. The minis- ters and licentiates could only go to the congregations, and relate, with humid eyes and painful breasts, what had occurred. The work was interrupted. Congregations formed, but not yet organised, fell off and dispersed. Churches, organised, but not yet firmly established, without leaders to guide and govern them, fell to pieces and were scattered. Of the serious, num- bers fell back ; and whole societies, that under regular ministrations had been led up to a high point in harmony and discipline, retrograded. The cited presbytery, and the silenced ministers and licentiates, seeing the disaster that followed the prohibition, became alarmed, and appealed to the General Assem- bly, pending whose reply they agreed to act, not as a presbyter}', but as a council, at whose conferences they decided to resume their labors ; and though not without her- culean efforts, the work of ruin was stayed, the dispersed churches were re-collected, the wavering strengthened and made firm, and the field brought back as near as possible to where it stood before the prohibition. The smile of the Spirit followed the efforts of the strugglers, and the churches once more presented the animating sight of numbers anxiously enquiring the way of salvation. The General Assembly replied that it could not move in the case, because it had not been appealed to according to order. Nevertheless it advised the Synod to re- view its proceedings. The latter complied, confirmed the acts of the commission, dissolved the Cumberland presbytery, and ordered the Transylvania presbytery to settle the dispute with the council, which order only served to inflame and irritate. In 1S08, the council petitioned a second time the General Assembly, which again replied that it could take no step iu the case, because no appeal had been sent con- 212 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. cerning it from the Synod. Another year of uncertainty passed. In the mean time the council watched, with unflagging interest, over the churches under its care, which continued to prosper and the number of the congregations to increase. In 1809, the S}rnod sent to the General Assembly a letter stating all its proceedings respecting the Cumberland Presbytery. The Assembly received the letter, and jus- tified the Synod. In 1807 and 1808 it had decided that it could not act upon the case, because it had come up by letter, and not by appeal from the Synod. In 1S09, when it came by letter, and not by appeal, it did not hesitate to act ! The news of the Assembly's action filled the members of Cumberland Presbytery with grief and astonishment. They had been led by private intimations from pro- minent men in the Assembly to look for a very different result. After the first feeling had subsided, they began to counsel upon future action. They could not think, for an instant, of giving up the churches which had grown up under their prayers, their anxious watching, and their tears, nor of relinquishing the sacred labors which God himself had sanctioned by the width and continuous- ness of His blessing. What was to be done ? They did not wish to go to other churches ; they were Presbyterians, and gloried in the name. Attainments in the classics, and the doctrines of election and reprobation, they could not believe essen- tial to Presbyterianisrn. What was to be done ? They decided to meet as a council, to hold together, and to appoint two commis- sioners to Transylvania Presbytery and the Synod. Notwithstanding their numer- ous failures, they still hoped and prayed for an amicable adjustment. Their only aim was to go on in good, and doing good. No ambition higher than, or different from this, had thus far entered into tneir thoughts. They only desired to keep their churches together, to see souls converted, and the cause of Christ advance. The commissioners presented themselves before the Presbytery and the Synod. They were heard in silence and with indifference. Totally •failing, they returned with sad heart.-; to the council to make, with quivering lips, their painful report. A mournful silence fell over the little assembly. Their last hope and effort had re- turned to them, like the dove at first sent out from the ark, without having found a resting pkiee, and, like the ark itself, they were still drifting with the flood. It was a critical hour — one of those when the next movement is an event. They looked at one another, each to ask the other his thought. They felt the crisis ; but they were of those that walk by the counsel of a genius higher than their own. They knelt in prayer; met again, fasting; yet again, still fasting; and once more unitedly asked for divine guidance. Light came to them. To abandon all, they could not. To stand still, would be worse than useless. To go forward, was a great undertaking. But, standing up in dignity upon their reserved rights as men, upon their duty as Christian shepherds with numerous precious flocks, and with a devout sense of humility to Him for whose glory alone they lived, they took heart and went forward. In the fear of God, three members of the council, Messrs. Ewing, King, and McAdam, under a so- lemn sense of duty to their master, their brethren, and themselves, proceeded, on the fourth day of February, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ten, to constitute a new and independent association, to which they gave the name of Cumberland Presbytery, from which has grown the present large society, known as the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. These were the only ordained ministers in the Presbytery; but a number of candidates and licentiates immediately placed themselves under its care. Other ordained ministers shortly came into the new or- ganisation, which thenceforward knew only prosperity. This ark had found its Ararat ! But now that the new denomination had assumed an independent existence, waa \ AMERICAS CHRISTIAN RECORD. 213 to come the hour of trial. Some predicted its speedy dissolution ; others, that it would run into the wildest heresies and extravagances ; its best friends feared the worst ; its members themselves were disturbed. The glory of Christ was dear to them; and any movement of theirs that might prove detrimental to His cause would be a source of profound sorrow. Still, confident in the uprightness of their motives, they bent themselves to the work. Their first efforts were attended by the happiest results. Souls were converted; the congregations increased; new churches were formed, and new preaching stations established, with good prospects. Other minis- ters, who at first had wavered as to what was duty, seeiug that the Spirit recognised the new denomination, now cheerfully came forward, and, joining, lent it their strength. Candidates for the ministry also advanced in large numbers, and the good work went on prospering and to prosper. With the passage of time, it drooped not, waned not. In 18 13, only three years after the founding of the organisation, the presbytery had so swollen in numbers that it was found necessary to divide it into three, of which was formed a synod. Years went on, aryl converts, churches, min- isters, and presbyteries increased with great rapidity. In 1829, the bounds of the synod comprised the States of Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, and embraced eighteen presbyteries. The field was too broad for a single synod, and in May of that year a General Assembly was established at Princeton, Ky. In 1831, the denomination extended into Western Pennsylvania, where a presbytery was shortly organized, which, in 1844, had grown into a synod numbering 4 pres- byteries, 65 congregations, and about 7000 communicants. In 1834, the church had 9 synods, 35 presbyteries, 300 ordained preachers, 100 licentiates, 75 candidates for- the ministry, and about 50,000 members; since when the church has extended into nearly all the States and territories, but has her largest numerical strength in the South and South-West. She has now between 600 and 700 ministers, about 030 churches, a membership but little short of 75,000, and addresses every Sabbath nearly a million souls. The church has a Board of Foreign and Domestic Missions, a large number of well organised Sabbath-schools, and a book concern. She co-operates with the leading national institutions, such as the American Bible, Tract, and Missionary Societies, Sun- day School Union, &c, and takes a strong stand in favor of all legitimate reforms. In literature, she is represented by a respectable body of well-edited periodicals, and a few authors, who make up in vigor and perspicuity of style for the limited- ness of their number. Among the former, we would call attention to the Missouri Cumberland Presbyterian, of St. Louis ; the Texas Presbyterian, at Huntsville ; the Banner of Peace, at Nashville, Tenn. ; and the Cumberland Preshyterian, at Uniontown, Pa., as worthy, high-toned family journals, and alike creditable to the press of their respective regions, and the denomination whose principles they advo- cate. Among the latter, we would enumerate David Lowry, Reuben Burrows, Mil- ton Bird, Robert Donnell, &c., &c. In respect to education, Cumberland Presbyterians have been, from the beginning, widely misrepresented. They have been traduced, by the unfriendly, as indifferent to learning, and their ministers, in education, as below the average, than which nothing could be further from truth. While it is true that here and there among their clergy may be found one deficient in high culture — as, indeed, in what denomi- nation may there not ? — yet it is equally true, that the greater number will compare with those of any other denomination, with the single exception, perhaps, of the Unitarian, whose ministers alone, as is well knoAvn, have, as a body, attained to the metaphysics of scholarship. In the beginning, she could not obtain for her pulpit men of classic attainments — the field in which she labored was young, and did not furnish them; nor, indeed, were they needed. Kentucky and Tennessee were then rude wilds, an)d peopled, with few exceptions, by spirits equally unpolished, who 214 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. required for preachers, minds of a sterling, vigorous mould, that could preach the simple story of the Cross, and the conditions of salvation, in a style adapted to their comprehension. Preachers of tins description only were required, and of these the church supplied sufficient, according to the demand. "When, with the advance in population and refinement, a higher order of minds was called for, the church was equal to this also ; as witness that, throughout her territory, she has kept even pace with the march of society, in numbers, education, and refinement. She has several institutions of learning, of which Cumberland University, at Lebanon, Tenu., and Cumberland College, Princeton, Ky., are the most eminent. In government, church offices, and usages, there is nothing to distinguish her from the parent church, towards which she entertains only feelings of peace and love ; never, even in the beginning, having harbored any other. In doctrine, however, as already stated, there is an essential difference. Cumberland Presbyterians under- stand the Westminster Confession of Faith as teaching absolute and unconditional election, and consequently, eternal reprobation; that a part only of mankind are embraced in the atonement, and the other part unprovided for; that Christ died only for those whom God intended, from before the foundation of the world, to justify and glorify ; that infants do not attain salvation ; and that the Holy Spirit operates, in a sufficient degree, only on the elect — that is, those whom God, from all eternity, de- signed to save. On these points they believe — 1. That neither election nor reproba- tion is absolute, but that Christians are elected in consideration of their voluntary obedience, and that the wicked are reprobated because of their voluntary rejection of Christ. 2. That Christ tasted death for every man. 3. That all dying in infancy are saved through Christ and the sanctifying agency of the Holy Spirit. 4. That the Holy Spirit operates on all men in such a manner that they might be saved ; and that the reason why the influence of the Spirit is effectual in one case and not in another, depends, not on the mode or extent of the operation, but on the disposition and conduct of the individual moved upon. DOCTRINAL BELIEF. 1. That there are in the Godhead three persons, co-equal and eternal: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. 2. That the Lord Jesus Christ is very God, and very man; possessing two distinct natures, human and divine, in one person. 3. That man was made upright, pure, and free ; sufficient to have stood, yet free to fall, his will not being determined by any absolute necessity, either to good or evil, but in all cases left to the exercise of a free choice. 4. That all Adam's family are totally depraved, and come into the world under the curse of the law. 5. That the Lord Jesus Christ, by the atonement, has elected all the human family to a day of trial — to a state of probation ; that as Adam, in the first state of proba- tion, represented all the human family, so Christ, the second Adam, represented all in the second probation. 6. That Divine influence is necessary; that a measure of the Spirit is given to every one to profit withal; that no man can obey the gospel without the aid of the Holy Spirit. 7." That justification is by faith as the instrumental, by Christ as the meritorious, and by the operation of the Spirit as the efficient cause. 8. That those who are elected, or chosen heirs of glory in consequence of their voluntary obedience and faith in Christ, will persevere to eternal life ; and that those who believe, are ordained to oternal life in consequence of that belieC AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 215 0. That the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are the only rule of faith and practice in all matters of religion. 10. That the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Zion, has instituted a visible Church, of which Christ is the great Head and Bishop, and that it is composed of many dif- ferent branches, having different names. 11. That Water Baptism, and the Lord's Supper, are the divinely instituted ordi- nances of the Church. 12. That works of mercy, charity, and obedience to Christ, are not meritorious to purchase salvation, but are imperiously necessary as tests and expressions of our obedience, without which none are counted worthy to receive the gift of eternal life. 13. That baptism in the Christian Church has taken the place of circumcision in the Jewish Church ; and hence the propriety of Christian parents observing this duty in respect to their offspring. 14. That there is a divine and internal call to the sacred office of the holy ministry, and that an ample literary qualification is necessary to the discharge of its important functions. 15. That Christ, the Judge of the quick and dead, will, at the last day, reward the righteous, and punish the finally impenitent. 16. That there will be a resurrection of the bodies, both of the just and unjust. 17. That the Lord Jesus Christ will, after the restitution of all things, and the com- pletion of the Judgment scene, surrender the mediatorial government into the hands of the Father, when God will be all in all. UNITED PRESBYTERIANS. Tins body is composed of a recent union of Associate and Associate Reformed Presbyterians, which, however, is not wholly complete, a few of both societies refusing to come into the union. The Associate Presbyterian Church in the United States is a branch of the Asso- ciate Presbyterian Church of Scotland, itself a secession, in 1773, from the Presby- terian Church of Scotland. At an early period of the secession, emigrants from Ireland and Scotland settled in various parts of New York, Virginia, Delaware, Penn- sylvania, and North Carolina; finding here no denomination with whose views they wholly concurred, petitioned the mother church for ministers. Messrs. Alexander Gillatly and Andrew Arnot were sent over, with instructions to organise congre- gations, and constitute themselves into a presbytery, which they did in November, 17 54, under the name of the Associate Presbytery of Pennsylvania. Mr. Arnot returned at the expiration of two years, and four years later Mr Gillatly was removed by death ; but the presbytery was kept up by fresh missionaries from Scotland till the Revolution, when the number of ministers had increased to thirteen. In 1776, tiie presbytery was divided — those ministers settled in and east of New York comprising the Presbytery of New York, and those in and south of Philadelphia, the Presbytery of Pennsylvania. At this period, there were also in Pennsylvania three clergymen of another body of seceders from the Church of Scotland, called Reformed Presbyterians. After the division of the presbytery, an unsuccessful effort was made to form a union between these and the Associate Presbytery of Pennsylvania. It was tried again and again, with no better result. But these repeated failures served only to incite the movers to renewed exertion. It was brought up and voted down at twenty different meetings, 216 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN* RECORD. at the last of which, apparently, it received a quietus. But, nothing daunted, the movers brought it up again at the next, when, as it happened, the members were not all present, and carried it by the casting vote of the moderator. The opposers of the measure had wished it delayed till the Synod in Scotland could be heard from respect- ing it. But the advocates declared themselves no longer in connection with that Synod, and censured the objectors for not falling in with the union. The new or- ganisation was termed the Associate Reformed Synod, from the names of the bodies from which the parties came. The plan of union failed in its design of combining the two societies into one. The opposers of the measure, in the Associate Presbyter}-, continued their proceed- ings as usual, and their course was approved by the Scotch Synod; while the Ro- formed Presbyterian Synod condemned the step its ministers had taken, and sent others to supply their place. So that the two original bodies continued to exist, and the new one also. The union was a heavy blow to the Associate Presbytery of Pennsylvania, which it left with only two ministers, namely : Win. Marshall, of Philadelphia, and James Clarkson, of York County, who, for a time, were alone, the Associated Presbytery of New York having joined the union. As soon as practicable, the Synod of Scotland sent over others to their assistance. In a few years, too, many of those who had gone into the union came back, and the prospects of the presbytery began once more to brighten.- In 1793, the first institution for educating young men for the ministry was estab- lished, under the care of the Rev. John Anderson, of Beaver county, Avho continued sole professor of theology till 1818, when he retired, from old age. In 1798, the Pres- bytery of Philadelphia being unable to supply the demand for ministers from Ken- tucky and Tennessee, the Synod in Scotland sent out Messrs. Robert Armstrong and Andrew Fulton, as missionaries to the former of these two States, with authority to form themselves into a presbytery, which, with ruling elders, they organised on the 28th November of that year, under the name of the Synod of Kentucky. In 1801, a Synod was formed, called the Associate Synod of North America, at which, on the roil call, seventeen ministers answered to their names. These were divided into four presbyteries, to wit : the Presbytery of Philadelphia, the Presbytery of Kentucky, tiie Presbyteiy of Cambridge, and the Presbytery of Chartiers. For some years, appeals might be taken from this Synod to that of Scotland; but in 1818 it was de- dared a co-ordiuate Synod by the General Associate Synod of Scotland. In 1820, an attempt was made to tbrm a union between the Church and the Associate Reformed Synod of the West, which had separated from the General Associate Reformed Synod on account of alleged Latitudiuarianism in doctrine on the part of the latter; but it did not prove successfnl. In 1S38 a few ministers, suspended for irregularity, withdrew, and formed them- selves into a Synod under the same name as that they had left, viz: The Associate Synod of North America. Later, two other ministers, suspended on account of their connection with slavery, also assumed the name of the Associate Church, but sub- sequently united with the Associate Reformed Synod of the South. Later still, a min- ister of tiie presbytery of Miami, joined with a suspended brother of- the same pres- bytery and formed the Free Associate Presbytery of Miami. These incidents occa- sioned some reduction in ministers and members, but the loss was compensated by the harmony and order that afterward prevailed. Recently an effort to unite the Church and the Associate Reformed Presbyterian, under the title of United Presbyterians, has been attended with so great success, that tne union has been effected, though a minority of the churches still refuse to com© into it. Appearances, however, indioate that the union will ere long be fully . AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 217 accomplished. The General Assembly of the new body — the United Presbyterians — will be held at Philadelphia, in May of the present year, when, it is thought, a plan will be submitted which, it is. believed, will prove generally acceptable, and remove the scruples of the churches now standing out. The Church adopts the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechism. Associate Reformed Church. — The earliest missions to America were sent out in 1751, by the Reformed Synod of Scotland. In 1753, the Rev. James Proudfjt ar- rived, and after itinerating for some years, settled at Pequa, Peunsylvania. He was followed, in 1758, by the Rev. Matthew Henderson; in 1761, by John Mason, Robert Annon, and John Smart; in 1762, by William Marshall; and in 1764, by Thomas Clarke and his congregation, who settled at Salem, N. Y. ; in 1766, by Messrs. Tel- fair, Kinloch, John Roger, and John Smith. In 1765, the ministers of the Associate and Associate Reformed Churches, sensible of their weakness as separate bodies, attempted to form a union, but were unsuccessful. Nothing of importance occurred till 1776, when, as described in the foregoing, the Presbytery of Pennsylvania was divided into two, viz.: the Presbytery of Pennsylvania and the Presbytery of New York, shortly after which the proposal for a union of the Associate and the Asso- ciate Reformed Churches was again submitted, but without avail. Convention after convention was held for the same purpose, but to no effect, till 1782, when the fa- vorers of the measure were at length successful in obtaining a majority, and effecting the imion ; though not to the extent of their wish, for the minority in the Associate Presbytery continued their organisation as before, and a few of the congregations in both communions refused to recognise the union. Prom these minorities, as we have in part seen, issued the Associate Church, and the Covenanters, or Reformed Pres- byterians. In 1782, the three presbyteries formed themselves into a synod, under the name of the Associate Reformed Synod of North America, one of the first acts of which was the adoption of a series of articles descriptive of the Church's faith, the tone of which, however, was too catholic for the times, and caused so much dis- turbance that the synod, in 1799, deemed it expedient to cast the articles aside, and adopt, for the constitution and standards of the Church, the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechism, with such alterations in the articles relating to the magis- tracy as were in harmony with the views of her ministry and people. For twenty years after the union, the growth of the Church was rapid, and the demand for ministers greater than the Synod could supply. This rapidity of increase led, in 1S03, to a division of the Church into the lour provincial synods of New York, Pennsylvania, Scioto, and the Carolinas, under a representative General Sy- nod— an ill-timed movement, resulting in great injury. The provincial synods, held at great expense and trouble, shortly found that they had no business to transact worthy of the name, and in a few years ceased to assemble. The affairs of the Church fell into the hands of a few, and jealousies were engendered, whose evil ef- fects continued for many years. In 1S00, it was deemed judicious to take steps for the establishment of a theologi- cal seminary, as the only means of supplying the steadily increasing demand for ministers. Dr. John M. Mason, a warm advocate of the enterprise, and one of the most devoted and eloquent preachers of the time, was sent to Great Britain to pro- cure voluntary contributions, and returned with five ministers and $6000 — a large sum at that period — the greater part of which was expended in the purchase of a library. In 1804, the seminary was established in the city of New York, with Dr. Mason as professor of theology. Hitherto the usage of the Church had been to observe the Lord's Supper not oftener than twice, and in some cases only once, a year. The sacrament Sabbath was pre- ceded by a fast day on the Thursday, and succeeded by a thanksgiving day on the Monday, and so firmly fixed were these days of fasting and thanksgiving that it 218 AMERICAN CIlRISriA'N RECORD. was deemed almost a profanation of the sacrament to celebrate it without them. Dr. Mason, in his "Letters" to the members of the Associate Reformed Church, set him- self to oppose these additions to the sacrament, which, it was evident, were a serious hindrance to the spirit of the Directory winch declares that "the Lord's Supper is frequently to be observed.'' The confession of the Scottish Church asserts in the plainest terms the duty of communing- with all who call on the name of the Lord : and the practice of the church was exclusive. The object of Dr. Mason's work was to bring the churches into a correspondence with their standards in this respect. But, as was to be expected, the work, though it exerted the desired influence in many cases, gave great ofience to some, who did not or would not see any difference be- tween catholic and promiscuous communion. The discussion to which its publication gave rise, and an attempt at the same time to introduce a new psalter, greatly con- tributed to previous jealousies, which, ia 1S20, terminated. in the withdrawal of the entire synod of Scioto. In 1821, the synod of the Carolinas petitioned the General Synod to erect it into an independent synod, on the ground of its distance from the usual meeting place of the synod, and the consequent impossibility of its being represented in the supremo council of the church. The request was granted. For a time no benefits appeared to accrue from this movement; but the new synod eventually displayed a considerable increase in the number of its members, and statistics representing a corresponding increase in congregations and communicants. About the time of the withdrawal of the synod of Scioto, more generally known as the Western Synod, a proposition was made for a union of the Associate Reformed with the Dutch Reformed Church, under the name of the Reformed Protestant Church of North America ; but some of the Dutch Reformed classes treating it with a cold- ness that wounded its supporters, it was abandoned. Another union was shortly proposed, to wit: with the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church. This was warmly opposed by a large portion of the churches and congregations, but it was pertinaciously urged forward by certain members of the General Synod, who took advantage, in 1822, of the non-arrival of other of the members, many of whom were then on their way to the synod, to consummate the measure. The vote was, for union, 1 ; against it, 6 ; silent, 4. The majority at once de- clared the General Synod dissolved, and within a week the valuable library of the Associate Reformed Church was removed from New York to the Presbyterian Theo- logical Seminary at Princeton. The Church, who, as a whole, had had no hand in the precipitation of this movement, was indignant. Want of concentrated energy, however, in her own body, prevented united action till 1830, when she presented a statement of the facts to the General Assembly of the Presbyterians, and demanded the restoration of her library. The General Assembly refusing, she instituted an ac- tion at law for the recovery" of the property, which, after a long and warm struggle, was decided in her favor. The library was then removed to Newburgh, N. Y., where she had established a theological seminary, under the care of the Rev. Joseph McCarroll, D.D., who was also chosen professor of theology. The Synod of New York now resumed its ordinary meetings, and took the placo of the dissolved General Synod as the supreme judicatory of the Church in the Northern States. From the foregoing, it will be seen that the Church, since 1822, existed in three independent divisions, namely : the Synods of the North. South, and West — a state of affairs which precluded the possibility of that prosperity which invariably arises from union. The latter, however, was not easy of accomplishment, the Western Synod having taken a stand against slavery, which forbade all thought of fellowship AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 219 with the Southern Synod, while the agitation of the same subject by the Synod of the North equally barred fellowship with it by the Synod of the South. For several years an effort has been in course for a union of the Associate Re- formed and Reformed Presbyterian Churches, under the title of United Presbyte- rians, which has at length been partially crowned with success. A number of con- gregations, doubtful of the propriety of the movement, still holdout; but there can bo no doubt that, if satisfied with its ultimate workings, they, too, will come in. The Associate Reformed Church, like the Associate, adopts the Westminster Confes- sion of Faith and Catechism. REFORMED PRESBYTERIANS. Reformed Presbyterians are a branch of the Reformed Synod of Scotland, better known as the Church of the Covenanters, so called for their unyielding devotion to the principles of the solemn League and Covenant in the dark, trying period of the Scottish Reformation. During the persecutions that followed, several members of the Reformed Presbyterian Church sought an asylum in the colonies, where, rinding no ministers of their society, they kept up praying societies, till the arrival of the Rev. Mr. Cuthbertson, seut out by the Reformed Presbytery of Scotland, in 1752, when they had preaching and the ordinances. Mr. Cuthbertson visited and preached to the differ- ent societies, and was for more than twenty years the only minister of the Reformed Church in America. In 177-1, Messrs. Linn and Dobbin came over, sent by the Re- formed Presbyteiy of Ireland, when a presbytery was formed, which, however, was subsequently lost in the union of the Reform and the Associate Presbyterians. By this union, or schism, as it was termed, the Church was greatly weakened, and again reduced to private fellowship meetings, when, making known by letter their condition to the Reformed Presbytery of Scotland, the latter sent out to their help the Rev. James" Ried, who, however, remained only a few months. He was succeeded in 1791, by the Rev. Mr. McGarragh, sent out by the Reformed Presbytery of Ireland, who was joined by the Rev. Wm. King in 1792, who was followed the ensuing year by the Rev. James McKinney, whose successful labors in New York and Pennsylva- nia were an event in the history of the Church. In 1797, Rev. Wm. Gibson, of Ire- laud, arrived, accompanied by Messrs. Black and Wylie, graduates of the University of Glasgow, and the next 3rear the Reformed Presbytery of the United States of North America was constituted. In 1799, Messrs. Donelly, Black, Wylie and Mc- Leod, were licensed to preach. Within two years they were all ordained, and had fixed pastoral charges. The Church, now beginning to feel her strength, issued, in 1806, the "Testimony of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of the United States," containing her history, doctrines, and an enumeration of the errors which she re- jects. At the same session were passed two important acts — the one respect- ing oaths before the constituted authorities of the nation, the other relative to serving as jurors in courts of justice. These acts, and the reasons for them, pre- sent some of the distinctive features of the Church, and caused not a little violent discussion. Owing'to the extended field over which the Church was scattered, the presbytery, which had met biennially, was divided into three committees. In 1809, that judica- tory was dissolved, all its acts ratified, and a synod constituted, which erected the committees into presbyteries. A prominent feature of the society is, that her members will not own allegiance to 220 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. the government of any nation which docs not own allegiance to. Christ as its head. And as they do not find any nation rendering such allegiance, they remain in the character of aliens, neither voting for officers, holding offices, sitting as juries, nor taking the oath of naturalisation. This distinctive feature has operated as a serious bar to many entering her communion, and been the occasion of offence to some who had been long in the enjoyment of her privileges. In 1833, a number of her minis- ters and members, believing that they had duties as citizens as well as Christians to perform, and that the American was essentially a Christian government, and there- fore that it was both their privilege and duty each to take a personal part in uphold- ing and maintaining the integrity of its institutions, withdrew and constituted a sepa- rate synod, called by the same name as that from which they had seceded, namely: The General Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church. These were variously termed New Side men, New Lights, in contradistinction to the original members, who were denominated by themselves and others, ''Old-side," Old School, etc. In this secession movement. Drs. Wylie and McMaster, Rev. Messrs. Crawford Stuart, J. N. M'Leod, W. Wilson, and J. McMaster, bore a prominent part. The New Side branch is active and energetic ; takes a deep interest in both domestic and foreign missions, to which it contributes with a liberal hand; leaves to its people the privi- lege of taking a part in political matters, according to their conscience ; is missionary in its spirit, sparing no pains to preach the gospel to the destitute; gives freely to all legitimate objects of benevolence ; is active in all enterprises having for their purpose honor to God and good to man, and occupies a high and honorable place in the American church. Another distinctive feature of the Society is her view of covenanting, and the at- tachment of her sons to the covenants of their ancestors. They hold that it is the duty of the Christian to dedicate himself to God, by solemn vow or oath, which is the taking hold of the covenant of God, and engaging in the strength of grace to per- form all the duties it requires ; that it is the duty of the Christian Church, in her social capacity, occasionally to vow to the Lord ; that nations ought, in their social capa- city, to enter into covenants with God for the preservation of their liberties, and for maintaining the interests of the kingdom of Christ, as the surest basis of public peace and prosperity ; that the covenants of a church or nation, when founded on the word of God, continue binding until their design has been fully accomplished, and their obligation descends upon the posterity of those who entered into them. A third prominent feature of the Society is, that every member is required to at- tend a social fellowship meeting, for prayer and Christian conferences. In other de- nominations this is regarded as a privilege ; by Covenanters, it is viewed as a divine ordinance, which may not be neglected. A fourth peculiarity is their use of the Book of Psalms, to the exclusion of all other compositions, in divine worship; a tifch, their hostility to slavery; a sixth, their op- position to certain clauses in the constitution of the United States, as not making the glory of God the chief aim of government, and securing liberty only to a portion of the inhabitants. The strictness of their discipline has, by some, been considered the prominent fea- ture ; but they justify it on the basis that the Church cannot insist too strenuously upon all points affecting her eternal interest. The Society is represented among the periodical press, by the Reformed Presbyterian, published at Pittsburg, Pa. The Church, which adopts the Westminster Confession and Catechism, has a theo- logical seminary at Cincinnati ; about 52 ministers, 80 churches, and -4200 members AFRICAN CHRISTIAN* RECORD. 221 UNITED BRETHREN IN CHRIST. This society, frequently mistaken for that of the Moravians, was founded, in 1775, by Wm, Otterbein', born of pious parents in Germany, where he stood deservedly high as a scholar and divine of the German Reformed Church, and who came to this country in 1752, and entered the ministry of that denomination, in Lancaster, Pa. Entertaining high views of the duties of the sacred office, a prayerful and constant reader of the Scriptures, he ere long after his arrival became persuaded of the neces- sity of a deeper work of grace than he had hitherto experienced, and he rested not till his soul had realized the New Birtl^when, burning with ardor to make known the need of this to all who would be saved, he bent himself to the ministry with fresh zeal, preaching with a persuasive eloquence that roused numbers of professing Christians from their apathy, and excited mnny who had previously cared but little for religion, to an active interest in spiritual things. The church being soon found too small to accommodate all who wished to hear, meetings were held during the evenings of the week, when the interest becoming general, he appointed speciai meetings for prayer and religious conversation, which, though common now, had then so long fallen into disuse that the clergy and Christians of all parties in that region gravely shook their heads at them as innovations and the offspring of fanati- cism; while those attending them were sneered at by the multitude, and viewed by the conservatively pious with mingled pity and suspicion. Otterbein continuing to preach the doctrine of the New Birth — then new to the church, particularly among the Germans — to keep up the prayer and conversation meetings, and to urge the necessity of a true and vital repentance, many brethren, ministerial and lay, took offence, pronounced him over zealous, fanatical, erratic, and raised against him in the church so violent a clamor, that it was regarded by worthy people as next to dis- graceful to countenance him in any manner. Still, there were those who believed he preached only truth, and these stood by and for him. The doctrines themselves, too, reaching to the surrounding towns and counties, brought in numbers to hear their advocate, who, though gravely opposed and broadly ridiculed, still preached to overthronging audieuces, while at the prayer and conversation meetings were wit- nessed scenes which, in more modern days, fill ministers and people with joy and thanksgiving, but, in those of Otterbein, were viewed as irregular and disorderly by the staid and conservative, unaccustomed to the sight of a whole lecture-room of human beings anxious concerning their future, and sobbingly beseeching God to have mercy upon them. Otterbein held another doctrine, also, which brought down upon him the indignation of the church, viz.: that all, of whatever denominational name, who loved and served the Lord, and felt that they were acknowledged by Him as His children, should and might meet and commune together freely at the Lord's table. This was resisted, as not only an innovation upon the established order of thiugs, but a heresy of which the Church had long before been purged. The synod of which he was a member called him to trial, found him guilty, and cast him off. He was now adrift, but his heart, though wounded by the action of the synod, failed not. He sought still to preach, but every pulpit was shut against him. The fields, however, were free, as were the private houses and barns of those he had been instrumental in leading to a knowledge of salvation. In these he preached, and held prayer meetings. Success followed, and ere long public halls were found neces- sary for the accommodation of all wdio wished to attend. These, also, were by-and- by found inadequate, and meetings were appointed in the fields, to which camo persons from all denominations. The interest increased, till the town, the suburbs, und the surrounding counties were all astir. Meetings were appointed in different 222 AMERICAS* CBllJSttAS* anwiro. towns and counties, to accommodate anxious multitudes who wished to hear but could not come to Lancaster. To these alao came men of every name, who were surprised to hear from this man, whom the pious and conservative had denounced aa a fanatic, sentiments to Which they could heartily subscribe. Success largely attend- ing these meetings, Otterbein travelled extensively through the neighboring coun- ties, preaching every where, and every where establishing men in the faith. At length he appointed a series of extensive meetings, to which came Christians of every denomination. At the first of these, in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, composed of ministers and people of all sects, the harmonising influence of the Spirit in uniting in concord and christian energy, persons of so many beliefs, gave rise to the name of " United Brethren " — -a name the Church subsequently thought proper to adopt. The ministers who took part in these meetings, *^jhich, in form and spirit, were like mod* em union meetings for prayer, exhortation and preaching, were sharply reproved by their several associations and presbyteries, and warned against repeating the offence; They justified themselves on the ground that the meetings were sanctioned by the Holy Spirit, as was proven by the large numbers brought to Christ at them ;* and, therefore, that it was both right and proper to take part in them. To this the asso- ciations and presbyteries answered by repeating their warning. The pastors dis- obeyed, and were cast out. They were grieved, but not utterly bowed down. They could labor for souls, as well without, as with, the approbation of the judicatories. They were men of large hearts, and deeply imbued with christian zeal. Success followed their efforts ; large numbers were brought to repentance and to faith. They were shortly aided by the Rev. Mr. Asbury, sent out by John "Wesley, to preach and organise churches; Mr. Asbury preaching among those who spoke in his own tongue, Otterbein and the cast out preachers to the Germans; and so harmo- nious and friendly were they in their mutual work, that they were sometimes called, the one English, and the other German Methodists; though the latter, at the time, anticipated an organisation of their own. The work prospered: numerous societies were established in Maryland, Pennsyh vauia and Virginia ; and at length it became necessary to come to some system of organisation. Otterbein and his co-laborers nit-t in council, and subsequently, at a large meeting, it was resolved to hold a conference in the city of Baltimore. At this conference, held in May, 1789, the following preachers were present: Yv in. Otterbein, Martin Boehm, Geo. A. Geeting, Christian Newcomer, Adam Lohman. Henry Weid- ner, and John Ernst. Nothing important was done, however, till 1800, when an annual conference was appointed at Baltimore. This was an important meeting in the history of the Church, which was organised under the name of United Bre'hren ■in Christ, and Otterbein and Martin Boehm elected bishops, or superintendents. The society throve rapidly, both in preachers and people, and the need of regulations was felt; to meet which, it was decided to hold a general conference of ministers, elected from among the preachers by members of the whole Church. The general confer- ence was held in 1S15. at Mount Pleasant, Pa., where, after mature deliberation, a Discipline was submitted, which met with general acceptance and adoption. The Society cannot be said to be a secession from other churches, but a general coming together of persons of all denominations in the love and fear of God. She presents no new doctrine, and is only distinguished from most by an organisation in which the ministry and people have an equal proportion of power, and the rulers hold office only by the authority and consent of the governed, who can remove them at pleasure. Though as old as the Methodist Episcopal Church, her numbers are comparatively small, owing principally to the fact that, till within a few years, her field has been chiefly among the Germans. AMERICAS CHRISTIAN RECORD, 223 Sli > lias several Home Missionary Societies; and takes an active interest in Foreign Missions. She takers a decided ftand against secret societies of every description; slaver)-, and the making, selling, and drinking of ardent spirits, except for medicinal and mechanical purposes. Government, — -Her ecclesiastical courts consist of cpiarterly. annual, and general conferences; and her officers of ministers or ordained elders, who alone exercise the functions of the ministry; class-leaders; stewards, who attend to the pecuniary wants of the ministers ; preachers-in-eharge. who each have the oversight of one circuit ; presiding elders, who are elected by the annual conference from among the ordained elders, and who travel over a certain number of circuits, preside at the quarterly conferences, and see that all the laborers in their respective districts faithfully perform their duties; and bishops, or general superintendents of the whole Church, who pre- side at all annual and general conferences. The annual conferences consist of all the preachers within certain local bounds, examine the labors and moral standing of their members, define the boundaries of circuits and stations, receive and reject applicants for the ministry, station preachers, ordain elders, and elect presiding elders. General Conferences, held every four years, are composed of elders elected by the laity, and are presided over by the bishops. Her preachers, as a body, are remarkable for their devotion to the cause for which they labor, and their willingness to endure all things for the sake of winning souls, Earnest, quiet, persevering and without pretension, they more closely resemble the -denying Moravian missionaries than any other, and cannot be esteemed too highly for their labors or their personal worth. Working modestly and in silence, the church is rarely heard of outside of her own circles; but she has none the less success for this. Her doctrines may be briefly summed up a.^ follows: 1. They believe in the only true God, the Father, Son. and Holy Ghost ; that these three are one. the Father in the Son, the Son in the Father, and the Holy Ghost equal in essence or being with both. That this triune God created the heavens and the earth, and all that in them is, visible as well as invisible, and sustains, governs and supports the s.v 2. They believe in Jesus Christ, that he is very God and man; that he became in- carnate by the Holy Ghost in the Virgin Mary, and was born of her; that he is the Saviour and Mediator of the whole human race, if they with full faith accept the grace proffered in Jesus. That this Jesus suffered and died on the cross for us ; was buried, and rose on the third day. ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God to intercede for us. and that he shall come again at the last day to judge the quick and dead. ?,. They believe in the Holy Ghost; that he is equal in being with the Father and Son ; aud that he comforts the faithful, and guides them into all truth. 4. They believe in a Holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the resur- rection of the body, and life everlasting. 5. The believe that the Holy Bible. Old and Xew Testaments, is the word of God; that it contains the only true way to our salvation ; that every true Christian is bound to receive it with the influence of the Spirit of God, as the only rule and guide; that without faith in Jesus Christ, true repentance, forgiveness of sins, and following after Christ, no one can be a true Christian. G. They believe that the fall in Adam and redemption through Jesus Christ, shall be preached throughout the world. 7. They believe, also, that the ordinances, namely : baptism, and the remembrance of the sufferings and death of Christ, are to be in use. and practised by all Christian societies, but the manner of which ought always to be left to the judgment of every 2-24 AMERICAN* CHRISTIAN RECORD. individual. The example of washing the saints' feet is left to the judgment of all to practise or not. SPIRITUALISTS. Those calling themselves by this name believe in the moral teachings of Christ, in the free agency of man, and in the ability of every one to communicate freely, through human media, in a state of trance, with disembodied spirits. They have a consider* able number of lecturers, eleven periodicals of various merit^ and a few writers of moderate eminence. They hold meetings at public halls in the leading cities, for lectures on miscellaneous topics, and, in New York and Boston, permanent conven- tions, for the avowed object of discussing whether the so-called manifestations pro- ceed from spirits or not— a question not yet satisfactorily determined. The subject some years since attracted considerable attention, which has since largely abated ; though this is denied by Spiritualists themselves, or at least not a few of them, who maintain that it has settled down upon a solid basis, and may now be fairly consid- ered as destined to permanence. They claim several millions of real and inclined believers, in the United States, the British Provinces, and South America; but with the most careful inquiry, in quarters most likely to know, and a liberal allowance for reported believers, of whom we can discover no trace, we cannot bring the figures up to 200,000 ; though we have no doubt many in their ranks will feel wounded by this estimate, which, however, we believe to be even higher, by a few thousands, than the real number. Certain it is, we have spared no pains to get at the facts, and the result is as stated. The literature of the society — which has no confession of faith as such, no constitution, and only adhering apparently by common consent — is compara- tively extensive, but appears to be drawn mainly from the Great Harmonia of its chief writer, Mr. Andrew Jackson Davis; the alleged facts in the controversial works of Mr. S. B. Brittain, a gentleman of high intellectual powers; and the Herald of Ugh', a periodical edited by Mr. T. L. Harris. In some respects, the society has been misrepresented — innocently, we trust. Its members have been charged as a body with countenancing Free Love doctrines; a mistake probably arising from the fact that most Free Lovers — whose total number in the United States we cannot, by any possibility, with the utmost inquiry and liberality of margin, bring up to 800 — are also believers in Spiritualism. The lecturers, who are numerous, are of both sexes, and profess, with few exceptions, to speak in a state of trance. With the ex- ception of Messrs. A. J. Davis, S. B. Brittain, T. L. Harris, J. W. Edmonds, Joel Tiffany, J. II. W. Tookej-, and John Pierrepont, the society, as yet, has brought to the surface but few persons, either as writers or speakers, of positive talent. UNITED SOCIETY OF BELIEVERS, OR SHAKERS. This society owes its existence to the Camisards, or French Prophets, of both sexes, who first appeared in Dauphiny and Vivarias, France, in 1688, professing to be inspired of the Holy Ghost, predicting the near approach of the kingdom of God, the happy times of the church, and the millennial state, and preaching as their mes- sage the acceptable year of the Lord. Soon amounting to many thousands, their as- AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 225 semblies, composed in some cases of only four or five hundred persons, but in others of three or four thousand, presented a singular sight. When under the impulse of what they believed to be the spirit of prophecy, they trembled, staggered, fell down, and lay as if dead. They recovered, twitching, shaking, and crying for mercy. In 1705, three of the most distinguished of their number, Elias Marlon, John Cavilier, and Durand Fage, proceeded, as missionaries, to England, where they had consider- able success, numbering within a year from two to three hundred followers of both sexes. For a time they had no organisation; but in 1747, a society was established without any particular creed or mode of worship, professing perfect resignation and willingness to be led from time to time as the Spirit might dictate. Some years after, a married woman of a strong will and very positive nature, named Ann Stanley, joined the society, in which her piety, bold mind and general energy, soon made her a prominent and popular member. Twelve years afterward, that is, in 1770, she pub- licly claimed to have received from the Holy Spirit, a revelation against the carnal nature of the flesh as the root of human depravity and tho source of the fall of man. Her testimony on this subject made such an impression that it was received as be- yond dispute, the true gospel of Christ's second appearing. From this time, she was received by the prophets as their spiritual mother in Christ and the leader Grod had appointed for the society. A few years later, she claimed to have received a second revelation from the Holy Spirit, to emigrate to America, where a great increase and permanent establishment awaited the church, and she immediately made preparations for the voyage, in which she was joined by nine persons, including her husband and a niece. The party settled, in 1776, in the town of "Watervliet, New York, where they re- mained in retirement till 1780, when they were joined by a few others of the society from England, and by several from the adjoining counties and states, from which time their number gradually increased. In 1784, Mother Ann died, and was suc- ceeded in the leading authority by James Whittaker, one of the original emigrants, who was received as her true successor and known by the title of Father James, un- der whose administration the church increased in zeal and numbers, and attained some importance as a sect. In July, 1787, he deceased, and was succeeded in office by Joseph Meacham, of Enfield, and formerly a Baptist elder and preacher. Under Father Joseph, the members of the society, who had hitherto been scattered, in 1787 were gathered into united communities. The Church was established at New Le- banon, Columbia county, as a common centre of union, and is still the Mother Church of the Society, being, in the estimation of the members, the first that was constituted in gospel order. From 1787 to 1792, regular societies were established in the Eastern States, where the principles of the church appeared to be received with unusual favor. Father Joseph died in 1796, vesting the leading authority, by divine direction, in a ministry, consisting of four persons, two of each sex, confirmed in their appointment by the approbation of the general members ; since when, no par- ticular event calling for special mention has transpired in the society's history. Peculiirities. — The members lead a life of singleness, and regard a life of virgin purity as in accordance with the example of Christ, and the recommendation and example of Paul. They abstain from all participation in politics, believing that the kingdom of Christ is not of this world. They are opposed to all wars and bloodshed, believing that to follow peace with all men is a divine precept not to be set aside. They avoid all pursuits of pride and worldly ambition. The society is divided into separate communities, called families, who own and share all the property and products in common. Communities. — Members of the society live in one or other of the communities or 15 226 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. not, as they themselves elect. Those who live out of the communities are free to attend the community meetings for communion, worship, and religious instruction. Before they can become members of any community of the society, they must first pay all their debts, make good all wrongs to others, become recouciled, if possible, to their enemies, and agree to come under the rules of the society. They may or not, as they choose, put their property, or any part thereof, into the common fund ; but having once put it in, they cannot again withdraw it. No one in a community receives any thing for his labor, but the supply of his daily wants and his interest in the common stock, which ceases with his death and his withdrawal from the society. On becoming a member of a family, every person is secured by contract for an ample provision in health, sickness, and old age. This guarantee is given in- con- sideration of his services in time of health and ability to labor. Parties entering on this contract, may, at their option, give the improvement of any part, or all their property, to the use of the family. Such property may be reclaimed at any time, according to the contract ; but no interest can be demanded for the use thereof. Parties entering on this contract may, also, retain their property for any length of time satisfactory to themselves ; but if, after having sufficiently proved the principles of the society, they choose to present it as a contribution to the common fund, they cannot afterward reclaim it. The management of the temporal affairs of each family is vested in trustees, ap- pointed by the ministry and elders. These hold the title of all the property in the name and for the use of the society, and all their transactions must be in the name and for the benefit of the joint members. They cannot contract any debts in behalf of the society, and are responsible in all things affecting their official conduct to the leading authority. Members. — Persons are not permitted to unite with the society without a full un- derstanding of all the obligations of membership. No believing husband or wife is allowed to separate from the unbelieving one, except by mutual consent, unless the conduct of the unbelieving one is such as to justify a separation by the laws of God and man. Nor can any husband or wife, who has abandoned his or her partner, except as above stated, be received into the society. No person can be received into the society without having first discharged all his debts to creditors and all legal claims of filial heirs, or make provision to that end. The society is not responsible for the debts of individual members, except by agreement ; and it insists that in the distribution of parental property among heirs, an equal dividend must be made, according to reason and justice, whether the heirs are members of the society or not. If an unbelieving wife separate from a believing husband, by agreement, the latter must give her a just and reasonable portion of his property ; and if they have children of sufficient understanding to judge for them- selves who choose to go with their mother, he must not disinherit them on that account. Idleness is not allowed in the society. No member, able .to labor, is permitted to live upon the industry of others. The sexes dwell in separate buildings, each under the supervision of an elder of their sex. Every member in a family is amply provided for in clothing, food and other neces- saries ; and order, simplicity and cleanliness reign throughout. Every family has a well-selected library, to which all have free access in common. Whatever can conduce to general comfort and content, is carefully studied and provided, if compatible with the general regulations. Children. — No children are taken under the charge of the society, except by the consent of the children themselves and of those who, as parents or guardians, have AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 227 the legal control of them. Parents joining the society are not required to give up their children, nor are the latter always accepted when offered. Very few children are received, in proportion to the applications. Children, in the society, are treated with care and tenderness, and so trained as to develope their best qualities. They are well educated in the usual English branches, and when they evince a particular talent, their education is proportionately extended. They are carefully taught the Scriptures, particularly those of the New Testament, and are invariably brought up to manual labor, that they may be enabled to obtain a livelihood, whether they remain with the society or not. Officers. — The general society is under the authority of a ministry, consisting of four persons, two of each sex. Each community, in temporal affairs, is under the direction of two trustees ; in spiritual matters, under male and female elders, who, with deacons and care-takers, constitute the officers of the Church. Worship. — The manner of worship is peculiar and various. The society believe that as God has given men hands and feet as well as tongues for their own service, they know of no reason why they should not give to Him the devotion of every active power of body and soul as a free-will offering. When the Israelites were delivered from the bondage of the Egyptians, they praised God with songs and dances, which was figurative of the deliverance of spiritual Israel from the bondage of sin. This dancing before the Lord, was, too, predicted by the ancient prophets. David danced before the ark of the Lord, which they consider figurative of the spiritual ark of sal- vation, before which, they believe, thousands will yet rejoice in the dance. In wor- ship, therefore, they exercise the whole body ; sometimes in a regular dance while formed in straight lines ; sometimes by marching around the room, with singing, shouting, and clapping of hands ; sometimes by leaping up, whirling round, etc. They have no regular physical movements in worship ; the exercises at each meeting being, as they believe, suggested by the Spirit, whose operations are so various that even the leaders do not know what will be the form of the exercises from meeting to meeting. Special Gifts. — They claim a diversity of gifts not common to the Church. For example : the gift of speaking in unknown tongues, as being often and extensively witnessed ; the gift of melodious and heavenly songs ; the gift of prophecy ; and the gift of healing, by word of mouth, and laying on of hands, which, however, though often witnessed, is not so frequent as many others.

Total. 4713 Eelijims Beliefs. — They believe that Mother Ann was chosen to usher into the world the divine spirit of Christ, and thus prepare the way for his second appear- ance. That this Spirit, in divine elements of power and light, now dwells in his Church, which is his visible body. That this Christ, viz: the Church, in the com- pleted order of Father and Mother, can be found by every one willing to give up all to him, the pearl of great price. That this is the everlasting gospel, which will extend through the world by increasing degrees till it establishes the Kingdom of the Saints of the Most High, to stand for ever. That their's is the only gospel church. That the human body is not the proper subject of the true resurrection ; but that the true resurrection is the passing from the first Adam into the second, which is tho same as regeneration and is a progressive work. PARTICULAR TENETS. They believe in four great dispensations, in which the* light of salvation was suc- cessively given to the Church. The first light of dispensation was that given to the patriarchs, in the promise of a Saviour. Those who in this dispensation had faith in the promise and obeyed God, were accounted righteous and of his Church. This dispensation was as waters to the ankles. The second light of dispensation was the Law given, through Moses, to Israel, which was a further manifestation of the promise, and was as waters to the knees. Those who, in this dispensation, had faith in the promise, viewed the ceremonial law as but a shadow of Christ's coming and work of redemption, and performed the will of God, were accounted righteous and worthy of salvation. The third light of dispensation was the actual coming — the first appearance of Christ in the flesh, and his work of redemption, which was as waters to the loins. All who took up a full cross against the world, the flesh and the devil, found the resurrection from the dead and eternal salvation in that dispensation. As Christ had in himself the power of salvatiou to all that obeyed him, he, on the day of Pente- cost, committed power and authority to the Church as his body to administer tho power of God to as many as believed, and to remit and retain sins ; so that they who believed, denied all worldly lust, and were obedient, became dead to the law, and were in the travail of the resurrection — that is, in the process of regeneration, or transformation from the carnal condition of the first Adam into the sinless nature of tho second. But, as the character of that dispensation was only as waters to the loins, the mystery of God was not finished; and another day was predicted for the second appear?nce of Christ and the final display of God's grace, when the mystery should be finished. But before that day came, there should be a falling away from the faith, and Anti-Christ was to reign, whom Christ should destroy with the spirit of his mouth and the brightness of his appearance. This falling away began soon aftd. the Apostles, and gradually increased until about four hundred and fifty-seven, when the power of the holy people — the Church of Christ — was scattered or lost, by reason that transgression, or Anti-Christ, or false religion, became established. Since then, tho witnesses of Christ have prophesied in sackcloth, or under darkness, even to the laying down of their lives, for their testimony- But it is written that all who livo in Christ Jesus shall be persecuted. Anti-Christ has burnt, tortured, hunted AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 229 and slain the Church of Christ ; for the true Church of Christ, harmless, inoffensive and separate from sin, never persecuted any. The true Church of Christ, taking up their cross against the world, the flesh, the devil, and all sin, live in obedience to God, and earnestly contend for the faith. Therefore it may be easily seen and known where the true church is. The fourth light of dispensation is the second appearance of Christ, or the last display of God's grace, in which the mystery of God will be finished. This dispen- sation, according to prophecy, began in the year 1747, and was ushered in before a number, by the manifestation of great light and mighty tremblings, by the invisible power of God, and by visions, revelations, miracles, and prophecies. These mani- festations or gifts have progressively increased, and are of those which were poured out on the day of Pentecost, and were promised to abide with Christ's Church to the end of the world. By these we find baptism into Christ's death, and the power of Christ's resurrection, which worketh in us mightily. As the Church of Christ, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto us; and wo unto us if we preach not the gospel ; for in sending so great a salvation and deliverance from the law of sin and death — in believing and obeying this gospel — in confessing and forsaking all sin — in denying ourselves, and bearing Christ's cross against the world, the flesh, and the devil — we have found forgiveness of all sins, and been made partakers of the grace of God, wherein we now stand; which all others, in believing and obeying, have acceptance with God, and find salvation as well as we: God being no respecter of persons, but willing that all men should come to the truth and be saved. UNIVERSALTSTS. This society rose in England about 1750, under the ministry of the Rev. John Kelly, who gathered the first church of believers in its doctrines in the city of Lon- don. Its sentiments were first introduced into America by Mr. John Murray, who had been converted from Methodism by the discourses of Mr. Kelly, and who emi- grated to this country in 1770, and soon after commenced preaching in the leading towns of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. After itinerating several years, he settled in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where the first Universalist Society was organised, in 1779. Shortly previous to this, other preachers of the doctrines rose in various parts of New England, some of whom or- ganised societies as early as 1780. Among these were Adam Streeter, Caleb Rich, and Thomas Barnes. Another of the early preachers was Elhanan "Winchester, cele- brated as a Calvinistic Baptist minister, and who was converted to Universahsm at Philadelphia, in 1781. He proved a valuable acquisition, and divided with Mr. Mur- ray the honor of efficiency in building up the Church. The most of these differed from Mr. Murray upon many points ; but all were harmonious in the great leading doctrines of the Church. All moved smoothly for a short time, and the prospects of the young Church were looking bright, when they were unexpectedly assailed by the Calvanistic pulpits, which launched their thunders out against her, loudly and fiercely. Her doctrines were scoffed at, her ministers branded as agents of the evil one, and her people as deliberate apostates from the truth. Had a thunderbolt fallen at her feet, the young Church could not have been more astounded. Living in conscious concord with all men, unconscious of wrong to any, pursuing their avocations honestly and indus- triously, and conducting themselves in all things with a due regard to the rights of 230 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. others as their own, her preachers and members could scarcely realise the savage onslaught. This, however, was only the beginning. The opposing pulpits keeping up the attack, a deep prejudice against the new Church sank by degrees into the heart of the public, which shortly began to show itself. The preachers and mem- bers were every where impudently insulted. Mobs, gathered at corners, mocked and shouted at them on their way to worship. In New Hampshire and Massachusetts, prosecutions were instituted against them to compel them to support the established sects, and efforts made to render illegal the marriages solemnised by their ministers. "Whatever could humiliate, annoy and harrass them ; whatever promised to shame or terrify the public from countenancing them in any manner, was pushed forward with a spirit and feeling not to be conceived of by Christian minds of to-day. At length, in self-defence, the young Church met in convention, by delegates, at Oxford, Mass., September 14, 1785, and took the denominational name of "Inde- pendent Christian Universalists." At a subsequent General Convention, in 1803, she adopted a confession of faith, for the purpose of complying with a legal enact- ment and making known what they believed. Legal persecution now ceased ; but that of the unfriendly pulpits was still kept up, without, however, being successful in exciting their people to further violence, and with the passage of time, the young Church became indifferent to their hostility. The confession of faith adopted at the latter convention, was in these words : " 1. "We believe that the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments contain a revelation of the character and will of God, and of the duty, interest, and final destination of mankind. " 2. We believe that there is one God, whose nature is love; revealed in one Lord Jesus Christ by one Holy Spirit of Grace, who will finally restore the whole family of mankind to holiness and happiness. "3. "We believe that holiness and true happiness are inseparably connected ; and believers ought to maintain order, and practice good works, for these things are profitable unto men." In this brief, broad compend of belief, which has never been altered, and is per- fectly satisfactory, the Church remained tranquil till 1827, when a few took excep- tion to the doctrine of no punishment after death, and finally seceded, organising anew under the name of " Universal Eestorationists." In 1833, the General Convention was changed to the General Convention of the United States, which it still preserves. Its powers are purely advisory. In 1819, the first Universalist periodical, the UmversaUst Magazine, was com- menced in Boston, Mass., with less than 1,000 subscribers. It was subsequently united with The Trumpet, and is now published under the title of The 'Trumpet and Universalist Magazine. The first society in Massachusetts was gathered in 1779 ; the first house of worship built in 1780 ; the first association organised in IS 16. h\ Maine, the first society was established in 1799; the first meeting-house, in 1804; the first association, in 1800. In New Hampshire, the first society, in 1781 ; the first meeting-house, in 1808; the first association, in 1824. Jn Vermont, the first society, in 1795; the first association, in 1804. In New York, the first society, in 1805; the first meet- ing-house, in 1815; the first association, in 1806. In Pennsylvania, the first society, in 1781; the first meeting-house, in 1808; the first association, in 1829. The Church is very extensive in the Eastern, Middle and Western States, where its doc- trines find ready receivers, generally noticeable for the liberality of their sentiments and purses, their genial and fraternal spirit, their comprehensive intelligence, their integrity as citizens, and generosity to the poor. In the South, the progress of the Church has been slow. The society takes an active interest in missions, education, and literature, and on all AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 231 subjects identified with the interests of humanity may be regarded as conservatively progressive. Among the notable literary productions which its tenets have drawn forth, are : "Townsend's Gospel News," " Young's Calvinism and Universalism Contrasted," " Winchester's Dialogues," '' Ballou's Treatise on Atonement," " Smith on Divine Government," "Mitchell's Christian Universal is t," "Balfour's Inquiries," "Murray's* Life and Works," " Streeter's Familiar Conversations," "Siegvolk's Everlasting Gos-i pel," " Whittemore on the Parables," and " Petitpierre on Divine Goodness." Among its numerous periodicals, the Christian Ambassador, of New York, The Trumpet and Universalist Magazine, of Boston, and the Christian Freeman and Family Visitor, of the same city, are fair exponents of its views, and contribute not a little to its permanence and success. UNIVERSAL RESTORATIONISTS. Universal Restorationists are a secession from the Universalist Convention, which, for the first twenty-five years, believed in a future retribution, from which it was persuaded by the Rev. Hosea Ballou, who held that all retribution is confined to this world. Subsequently, some ministers claimed that the whole man, body and soul, died a temporal death, and that the resurrection was the instrumentality which would introduce all men into heavenly felicity. A minority protested against these sentimeuts, but finding the majority against them, and that their opposition only served to keep the Church in a ferment, without accomplishing any good, they finally withdrew from the society, and, at a convention of ministers and laymen, in the village of Mendon, Mass., August 17, 1831, formed themselves into a distinct de- nomination, under the name of Universal Restorationists. The ministerial members of this convention were Paul Dean, David Pickering, Charles Hudson, Adin Ballou, Lyman Maynard, Nathaniel Wright, Philemon R. Russell, and Seth Chandler, whose number was subsequently added to by accessions of six or seven clergymen, nearly all of whom represented established societies. The Church is congregational in government ; agrees with Unitarians in respect to the Godhead, atonement, and free will ; maintains that baptism — which it does not view as a saving ordinance — may be administered by immersion, suffusion, or sprinkling, either to adults or infants ; and, while admitting the right of every society to manage its own affairs, does not recognise the right of any church to exclude believers of other denominations from the table of the Lord. The difference between Restorationists and Universalists lies principally in the subject of a future retribution. The latter hold that a full and perfect retribution takes place on earth ; that man's conduct in time does not affect his condition in eternity ; and that, at death, he becomes pure and happy. The former believe that a just retribution does not take place in time; -that the conscience of the sinner does not increase in the severity of its reproaches with the increase of guilt ; that men are invited to act with reference to the future; that if all are made happy at the com- mencement of spirit life, they are not rewarded according to their deeds ; that if death introduces them into heaven, they are saved by death and not by Christ ; and that if they are made happy by being raised from the dead, they are saved by physical, not moral means — a sentiment that weakens the motives to virtue, gives encouragement to vice, is unreasonable in itself, and opposed to many clearly expressed passages of Scripture. 232 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. They believe that all men will ultimately become holy and happy ; that God, who is a being of love, created only to bless; that he sent his Son to be for salvation to the ends of the earth ; that Christ's kingdom is moral in its nature, and extends to moral beings in every state of existence ; that man's probation, so far from being con- fined to the present life, extends through the mediatorial reign ; and that as Christ died for all, so, before he shall deliver up the kingdom to the Father, all shall be brought to a participation of the knowledge and enjoyment of that truth which makes free from the bondage of sin and death. They believe in a general resurrection and judgment, when those who have im- proved their probation on earth will be raised to more perfect felicity, and thoso who have misimproved time, will come forward to shame and condemnation, which will continue till they become truly penitent. They believe that punishment itself is a mediatorial work, perfectly consistent with mercy, and is employed by Christ to subdue the stubborn will, and prepare the mind to receive a manifestation of the goodness of God, which leads to true repent- ance. The society is principally confined to Massachusetts, though there are churches in Rhode Island and elsewhere. STATISTICS OF RELIGIOUS ASSOCIATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES.

The missions in Burmah are four— three among the Sagaer Karens and one among the Pwos. The head-quarters of the three former are at Rantoon B^sem and Shwaygyen The Pwo Mission has also its head-quarters at Rangoon m con! ZC!10V he Sa^aer dePartmeQt» ^d occupies a portion of the Kemendine prem- wes. _ These two missions have united in a local organisation called the Karen Home thlSt?a7 ^°Ciet£ throu8'Vvhose funds the missionaries at Rangoon, together with the schools, have been chiefly supported. ° The Pwo churches are in a prosperous state. AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 287 The Karen Testament, rendered into the Pwo dialect from the Sagaer, by Mr. Brayton, had been carried forward, but funds were wanted to complete the work. A heavy responsibility fell upon Mrs. Yinton, at the death of her husband, but she had been remarkably sustained. At her request, and an urgent appeal from the Karens, Mr. Kincaid left his own field, during a portion of the rainy season, to occupy the field left vacant by Mr. Yinton. Under Mr. K.;s supervision, the Karen chapel, costing about $8,000, was carried forward to completion. Mr. Rose, in the government school at Rangoon, desired to give himself wholly to the missionary work. The Bassein mission, under Mr. Bucher, had been highly prospered. A house had been built for Mr. B., as no suitable dwelling could be rented in that region. The salary of a single missionary was $400; of a missionary and wife, $600; and for each child till the age of sixteen, $81 a year. For traveling expenses, an extra aUowance was made of two rupees per day. This being found inadequate, the Union had raised the salaries of the missionaries $100 per annum. Since the defection of Mr. Judd, no definite information had been received respect- ing the state of the mission and mission property at Port au Prince. Agents had been several times appointed to visit the island and look after the interests of the Society, but disappointment had attended every effort. The lot for a chapel had been purchased, of which the Society holds the deeds. $1,600 of the chapel fund now remains in the hands of the former treasurer. Claims against the Society had recently been forwarded from Port au Prince for monies paid by Mr. Judd to native preachers several years ago. Other matters called for settlement. Mr. Newman, missionary in Canada West, whose health required a change of climate, had applied for an appointment to Hayti. Providence having opened Japan, the society desired to send out Mr. Goble to pioneer the cause of missions in that field. Mr. GT. was ready and waiting. The mission in Canada, under Messrs. W. P. Newman and H. S. Davis, had been continued. The Society's missionaries in the western States had been toiling as usual. Mr. Read had been called upon to suffer for his anti-slavery principles, having been shot down, but had almost miraculously escaped. He has for some time been self-sup- porting in his labors. Mr. Johnson, a veteran missionary in Oregon, requested a discontinuance of his appointment, and recommended a successor. Mr. A. Gladwin had been laboring for the society as an evangelist and home mis- sionary since July, in New York and vicinity, with much success. The American Baptist, the organ of the society, to a certain extent, supplies the place of agents. Wherever it penetrates, it finds funds for the mission cause. All other Baptist journals being closed against the Free Mission Society, ©r speaking of it only to oppose, its very existence would seem to depend upon having an organ of its own. The other publications of the Society have not been numerous. " Baptist Episco- pacy " has had an extensive demand, and added many friends to the Society. The Board have decided upon issuing occasionally small tracts of four pages each. Receipts, $16,643.87 ; expenditures, $9,730.00 ; notes and cash on hand, $6,912.87 ; total, $16,643.87. „ Officers.

FREE COMMUNION BAPTISTS. A new society, under this name, arose in 1S58, in McDonough county, Illinois, and organised a Quarterly Meeting Conference. In views and polity, it occupies an intermediate ground between Baptists and Episcopal Methodists. At the Quarterly Meeting, June 10, 1859, one preacher, four licentiates, and a few small Churches and Sabbath Schools, and one hundred and four members were re- ported. A collection wras taken up for domestic missions, one deacon ordained, and the ex- pediency of establishing an itinerancy discussed. BAPTIST BIBLE SOCIETY. Anniversary in May, 1859.

SUMMARY OF REPORT FOR 1859. All the old missionary stations — namely, those at Turin, Pignerol, Genoa, Nice, and Favale — have been sustained, and several new ones established. Much has been done in colportage, particularly in the circulation of the Scriptures. The school, college, and theological seminary, at Latour, are highly prospering. The labors of the Society continue to be opposed by Romish priests, but every year with less effect.

Delegates were present from the conferences of New York, North Ohio, Cincinnati, Rock River, Upper Iowa, Illinois, and Southern Illinois. Dr. Nast was chosen president, and Rev. Jacob Rothweiler, secretary. A committee was appointed to prepare a plan for a new German hymn-book, to be submitted to the next General Conference. * A protest was made against putting German missions under the supervision of English presiding elders. A resolution suggested the propriety of connecting no less than two German dis- tricts within one annual conference. A committee was appointed respecting the propriety and best mode of establish- ing day schools. It was decided that any change in the presiding elder system would be injurious to the German work. A committee was appointed to consider the propriety of publishing a volume of sermons by German preachers. Another, to report a plan for the collection of mate- rials for a history of German Methodism. Still another, to arrange for the publication of a German commentary. The missions among the Germans were represented as highly prosperous, and increased appropriations were asked for their support. AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION. Thirteenth annual meeting in First Congregational Church, Chicago, 111., Oct. 19, 1859, Rev. J. Blanchard in the chair. Speakers — Rev. John "White, of the Mendi mission, Africa ; Rev. Mr. Jones, of Mich. ; Rev. "Win. De Loss Love, of Wis. ; Professor H. E. Peck, of Ohio ; Rev. Geo. "Whipple (Secretary) ; Davis Tappon, of New York ; Professor Cowles, of Ohio ; and Rev. Mr. Cherry, of Mich. REPORT. The missionaries have been instructed to labor for the overthrow of slavery, as of AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 307 any other sin, and they do not receive slaveholders into the Church, nor invite them to communion. . . One of the vice-presidents (Rev. Samuel E. Cornish), one female missionary (Mrs. Brooks, of the Mendi Mission), and fourteen life members, had died during the Three hundred and fourteen life members had been added during the year, making the whole number 2,512. m m Twelve missionaries and assistant missionaries had sailed for their missions, ten of them for the first time ; and nine, under appointment, expected to sail in Novem- ber. The number of foreign missions was 8 ; stations and out-stations, 29 ; and 9 out- preaching places. Number of laborers in the foreign field, including those about to sail, 69.° Two male and one female laborers had returned to this country from Africa ; one female had gone from the same mission to her home in Scotland, for her health ; and three missionary families had retired from the Ojibue mission. The Good Hope station was increasing in interest. Additional members were re- ceived at every communion, and daily religions exercises were kept up. A monthly concert of -prayer was observed, and collections taken up for the missionary work. There were three out-posts that had preaching every Sabbath. A mission school under Miss Mcintosh was prospering. An out-school was under the Rev. Geo. N. Jowett. Kaw Mendi, an out-station of Good Hope, had no native assistant living there. Mr. Brooks still prosecutes his work at the Boom Falls station, assisted by three or four native assistants. The removal of Mrs. Mair and Mr. Miles, and the death of Mrs. Broooks, had changed the surface of affairs there since last year. There were three out-preaching places. The Salem Hill mission had not been commenced for want of laborers. The Jamaica mission had seven stations, three out-stations, and twenty-four mis- sionary laborers, including four native assistants. The reports exhibit a less favor- able condition than in former years. Mr. and Mrs. Douglass have charge of the Industrial School at Richmond, which had been without teachers for a considerable part of the year. The Ojibue mission being unpromising, the executive committee recommended its relinquishment. The Ojibue and Ottawa mission had had seven additions to the church member- ship in the preceding eight months. Sixty had been added to the Church at the Sandwich Islands mission. Several Sunday Schools and two Churches had been formed among the colored population in the Canada mission. Mr. Hotchkiss had added eighteen to the churches under his care, in a little more than a year. The Siam mission was at length beginning to present cheering indications. _ Two young men connected with the printing office were endeavoring to live a Christian life. °Several had made a public profession of their faith; and a noon-day prayer meeting had been established. The Coptic mission had made no progress during the year, in consequence of the illness of Mr. Martin, who had asked and obtained permission to retire. At home, the association had had 98 missionaries and 5 colporteurs in the field dur- ing the year ; 16 churches had been organised, making the whole number 130 : 35 revi- vals of religion had been reported, and 1,003 hopeful conversions. There had been 640 added to the churches on examination, and 343 by letter. Whole membership, 3,890; Sabbath and Bible class scholars, 5,538; contributions of the churches to benevolent objects, $1,300. The members of the churches were pledged to temperance and anti-slavery. 308 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. In Kentucky, 7 missionaries and 3 colporteurs were laboring with slight opposition. Tract3 and publications against slavery were freely introduced ; Bibles were given to slaves ; 110 acres had been secured as a site for a literary institution ; and several revivals of religion had taken place. The report concluded by enforcing the claims of the slave States, recommending the enlargement of missionary work in all its operations, and pursuing it with in- creasing vigor. Financial.

Twenty-fourth annual and eighth triennial meeting in St. Paul's Church, Richmond, Ya., October 6-20th, inclusive; the Rt. Rev. the Bishop of Virginia- in the chair. REPORT. Condition of the Domestic Field. — 24 stations are vacant ; 43 missionaries have been newly appointed, and twenty have resigned. Two missionary bishops and 122 mis- sionaries are now laboring in the field, which comprises Maine, New Hampshire, Delaware, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, IUinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, California, Oregon and "Washington. What are 122 missionaries in so extensive a field ? To have strong men, well sustained at first, working as itine- rants and pioneers, rather than as settled pastors over one or more congregations, the committee believe to be the true policy for all future efforts. A growing evil is the withdrawing so much of valuable time and available labor from missionary fields, while the missionaries and clergy of the border are compelled to seek far and wide for scanty aid in building the churches committed to their care. One bishop has decided to encourage no more of his clergy to go abroad for this pur- pose. When the church shall take the matter into her own hands, by the formation of a well-devised and efficiently sustained church-building society, in accordance with the past experience and present uniform practice of other Christian bodies around us, a great evil will be cured, and all classes of our clergy and people have a sensible relief. The older States we are not called upon to notice. But the committee may express gratification at the full organisation now of Texas and Minnesota, who have bishops elect awaiting consecration for their life-long arduous labors in those extended and inviting fields, and they may anticipate for them, in the future, rapid growth and great prosperity. In the important field of Arkansas, with its growing population and great resources, much has been done and much remains to be. In Nebraska, whose population is as yet but small and scattered, missionary opera- tions have been few and feeble. A lamentable destitution exists in Mexico, and an earnest desire for the services of the Protestant Episcopal Church. In California the difficulties in religious culture can scarcely be appreciated. The rapid growth and changeableness of the population are not the least of these difficul- ties. To these may be added the intense and all-absorbing desire for wealth, which deadens the conscience and renders men indifferent themselves to religion, and to the spiritual welfare of their families. In many districts, the bishop found the rising- generation virtually in a state of heathenism. If they are not cared for, what will be the condition of society there in the next generation ? A number of clergymen have offered to go to the rescue, some of whom are already on their way. Shall these and others not be sustained? In Oregon and Washington the population is increasing, and commerce will speedily transfer our impress to their shores. What shall that impress be ? It is for the Church to answer this question.

With the large amount received this year, from the few parishes which have contributed, we may see how large a sum would be realised, if all the parishes of the Church would make a bona fide contribution, large or small, according to their several ability. We can only renew the earnest hope that this may soon be done. We would affectionately remind the clergy that a little thoughtful care, in remem- bering the wants of the Church entrusted to us, would greatly benefit our worthy missionaries and spreading field. Belief Fund for Domestic Missions. At the last meeting of the Board a resolution was adopted for a "simultaneous effort to relieve the Domestic Committee from its old burdens, by subscriptions and spontaneous contributions, under the direction of the Secretary of the Domestic Com- mittee. The desire to carry on this work without interfering with the ordi- nary receipts of the committee, made it a work of time and patieuce. By the bless- ing of God, and the aid of kind friends, we are happy to announce that the work is done. The sum of $10,000 has been secured for this important end ; and for the AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 315 first time in many years, the Domestic Committee are relieved from debt, and able to work freely in their important and extended field. In returning from his recent visitation in Kansas, the Missionary Bishop of the North-west thus writes : " You must remember that the field of the Domestic Com- mittee is only opening in the "West. Take Kansas for instance. From the Missouri there are two hundred miles of fine agricultural land ; then two hundred of pasture land; then two hundred of mountains abounding with gold. You must look for- ward to perhaps a dozen new territories, even in your day. There will probably be, by Christmas, one hundred thousand souls in and about Pike's Peak." What a contemplation ! Six hundred miles, in Kansas alone, of grass and grain ar.d gold, and the prediction of a dozen new territories opening upon us in our. own day. COMMITTEE FOR DOMESTIC MISSIONS.

Foreign Field. The Committee have been enabled to increase considerably the missionary force, and to enter upon new fields. The Board and the Church at large are now called upon to contemplate this work in its present extended limits, and to realise the fact that the amount of contribu- tions reported from year to year will no longer suffice for its necessities. Nothing less than the income of the financial year just closed will enable the Committee to meet their obligations. This statement is now distinctly made, and pressed upon the attention of the Board ; the Church is called upon to sustain the work upon an enlarged scale, and any falling off in receipts below those of the year now reported must inevitably lead to embarrassment.

The condition and circulation of the Spirit of Missions continue to be as heretofore reported. The Carrier Dove is now published in an edition of 30,000 copies monthly — 2,000 more than the number reported last year. Six occasional papers have been published by the Foreign Committee, within the year, and widely scattered. Two of these had special reference to Japan, one to China, and one to Africa; the other two were general in their character. Agents. The committee have continued to avail themselves, so far as practicable, of the services of some of their clerical brethren in various portions of the country, who kindly consent to act without charge as agents in behalf of foreign missions. The Rev. E. "W. Henning is still in the employment of the Committee, and devotes his time to efforts in behalf of the African Mission. His labors, during the past year, have been chiefly in the Dioceses of Connecticut and Pennsylvania. The mission to Africa has recently had the benefit of the very efficient labors of Bishop Payne, whose return to this country is mentioned in another part of this report. The mission to China has had its claims urged in various places by Bishop Boone ; by the Rev. Mr. Keith, until the sailing of that gentleman for China, in May last, and recently by the Rev. Mr. Nelson. Greek Mission. Rev. J. H. Hill, D.D. ; Mrs. Frances M. Hill; Miss Mary B. Baldwin. The Committee report the steady prosecution of missionary labor in this field. - Western Africa.

The Committee, in their report of last year, were called to record wonderful changes in the condition of the Empire of China. The walls of separation, settled upon the deep and strong foundations of national pride and national prejudice, com- pacted and cemented by centuries of unchanged custom and habit of exclusiveness, were broken down. China was opened, in a measure before unknown, to intercourse with other na- tions. The fact most wonderful and most signally displaying the hand of God in the transactions here referred to, was the forwardness of the Chinese officials in their voluntary concessions to Christian missionaries. They, of their own accord, offered to concede to missionaries the privilege of free access to all parts of the country of China. By the changes thus wrought, it could not fail to be seen that new responsibilities were laid upon the Church of Christ. The foreign committee felt the weight of obli- gation at once to strengthen and enlarge the mission to China, and, in March last, they adopted the following resolutions: "Resolved, That in view of the encouraging tokens of Divine Providence, in the recent opening of China to the peculiar labors of the Protestant Episcopal Church, the Foreign Committee desire to -send out immediately ten additional missionaries to that important field. "Resolved, That the Missionary Bishop to China (then in this country), be requested to solicit from the churches, as a special contribution, an adequate sum to defray the outfit, passage-money, and one year's salary of the aforesaid missionaries." In the prosecution of the agency thus imposed, Bishop Boon visited various por- tions of the country, having previously addressed a circular letter to all the parishes. He, moreover, charged himself with the duty of obtaining missionaries also, and for this purpose visited the theological seminaries in New York and Virginia. Yery re- markable success attended his efforts in both these departments. The congregations addressed by him responded nobly, and the amount for which he asked, viz. : $20,000, was speedily made up. Many applications for appointment were addressed to the Committee ; and, of the various classes of laborers needed, nine were appointed, as follows : Mr. Henry M. Parker, of the Diocese of South Carolina, " Dudley D. Smith, " Alabama, 320 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. Mr. Henry Purdon, of the Diocese of Pennsylvania, " Elliot H. Thompson, " Virginia, " Thomas S. Yocom, " Pennsylvania, " James T. Doven, " Maryland, " Edward Hubbefi, " New York, Students in the Theological Seminary, Fairfax County, Va. Also, Mr. S. I. J. Schereschewsky, of the Diocese of Maryland, student in the General Theological Seminary, N. Y. And in addition to the above, Mrs. Jane M. Doyen, the mother of Mr. Doyen, above mentioned. Five of the persons above named were ordained by Bishop Boone, viz.: Mr. Schere- schewsky, Mr. Smith, Mr. Thomson, and Mr. Purdon, in St. George's Church, New York, on the 7th July; and Mr. Parker, in the Church of the Ascension, New York, on the 10th July. Mr. Yocom was ordained by Bishop Bowman, in the city of Phil- adelphia. Mr. Doyen and Mr. Hubbell are candidates for orders. Mr. Doyen will take charge of the Boys' Boarding School, Shanghai, and Mr. Hubbell will act as business agent. Adding hereto the names of Mrs. Parker, Mrs. Yocom, and Mrs. Smith, we have a list of twelve added to the missionary force in China. In the Mission at Shanghai, the usual routine of missionary duties and labors has been pursued, so far as the fewness of the laborers there would permit. Speaking of their regular work, Mr. Syle says : •• We begin to see that true religion is really taking root here, and we feel that we may well thank God and take courage. Much, very, very much remains to be done, but something has already been accomplished." Labors in the Interior. — The Rev. Mr. Liggins and the Rev. Mr. Williams continued their labors in the city of Dzang Zok, until the departure of Mr. Nelson for this country rendered necessary Mr. Williams' return to Shanghai. The native deacon Chi was then sent to Dzang Zok to assist Mr. Liggins, and they continued there until an apparently untoward circumstance caused a suspension of the work. The circumstance referred to, was as follows-: Mr. Liggins, on an occasion of a religious procession of men of a low class, fell into a rabble, and was severely beaten. His health had previously been bad, and the effect of this rough treatment was such as to render advisable his retirement from the scene of his labors. He, together with the Rev. Mr. Chi, returned to Shaughai, where he was induced to try what reinvigorating effect there might be in the climate of Nagasaki in Japan. He sailed for that city on the 23d April; and the Rev. Mr. Syle writes: "Mr. Liggins (as I presume he has himself informed you) is fully installed as Teacher of the Interpreters in Nagasaki, occupying a house delightfully situated, which was provided for him by the Japanese Governor, on the application of the United States Consul." While these events were transpiring in China, the Foreign Committee determined to open a mission in Japan, and adopted Nagasaki as the first station ; and the Rev. Mr. Liggins and the Rev. Mr. Williams were appointed Missionaries to that Empire. Letters were at once addressed to these brethren ; when those letters reached Shang- hai, Mr. Liggins was already in the field. So that that which seemed to be some- what disastrous at Dzang Zok, proved, under God, the occasion of an earlier entrance than was anticipated, upon the work in Japan. In the relations of our Mssions to China to the authorities and ministry of tho Church of England, in that country, there had been some reason to fear a possible AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 321 interruption of harmony. Within the last year the spontaneous action of the Church of England has removed every possible cause of difficulty of this kind. It has been suggested to the Bishop of Victoria, by the Archbishop of Canterbury, that he should make any arrangement that would be agreeable to Bishop Boone and himself; and the Bishop of Victoria has proposed to leave Kiang-Su, the province in which our missions are established, to the occupation of the American Episcopal Church, while the missionaries of the English Church shall labor in the province"' of Cheh-Kiang ; and if their missionaries had any converts in Kiang-Su, he would delegate his au- thority to confirm to Bishop Boone, and vice versa. This leaves to us an unfettered ministry among 37,000,000 of people dwelling in a territory not larger than one of the single States of our American Union. Statiitics. — Missionary Eorce : Bishop, 3 Presbyters, 6 Deacons, 2 Native Deacons, 3 Candidates for Orders (2 Foreign, 1 Native), 12 Female Missionaries; total, 27, Baptisms, 12 ; Communicants, about 70. Japan, Nagasaki — Rev. John Biggins, Rev. Channing Moore Williams. The committee have mentioned already the entrance of the Rev. Mr. Liggins upon missionary work in Japan. His colleague, the Rev. Mr. Williams, under date of May 26th, 1S59, writes as follows: " Sickness in Mr. Syle's family has made it necessary for him to try the benefit of a short trip, and his absence has prevented my leaving for Japan immediately after the receipt of j-our letter. Soon after his return, which will be in a week from this time, I expect to get off." The fact demands grateful acknowledgment that the mission of our church in Japan is, in point of time, the first Protestant Mission actually established in that empire. Taking into view the fact that the mission to Japan must be always in intimate connection with the mission to China, and for the present, at least, under the care of the bishop of that mission, the committee decided to place it under the care of the Missionary Bishop of China, until other arrangements could be made, and appointed Dr. H. Ernst Schmid as missionary physician to the same field. South America. Rev. Richard Holden, of the Diocese of Ohio, missionary. The earnest attention of the committee is directed to other portions of South America, and they will greatly rejoice should a favoring Providence enable them to enter upon missionary labors in some of those inviting fields.

SPIRITUALISM. Modern Spiritualism had its rise, some twelve years since, in "Western New York. "It came, at first," says a Spiritualist, in a communication to the editor, "in the form of rappings, knoekings, table tippings, and other noisy and violent demonstra- tions, for the purpose of attracting general attention. When they had roused gen- eral curiosity, they proceeded to gratify it by unfolding their object, to wit: to humanise and spiritualise men, and educate them, by impartations of truth, up to planes of light, and truth, and brotherhood. When they had enlisted the interest of a few intelligent minds, they suggested to them means by which communication might be held,' namely, by the use of the alphabet, and of entranced media. But that none might delude themselves with the erroneous idea that they alone were chosen as agencies for this intercommunication of spirits in the form with those out of the form, the power of mediumship was simultaneously given to thousands all over the country. As was to be expected, what followed filled the nation with astonishment. Through the alphabet, called out letter by letter, spirits of persons long as well as but recently deceased, made their presence known at circles, and proved their iden- tity to the satisfaction of the most incredulous. Entranced media wrote — in the hand- writing of departed poets, historians, novelists, theologians, and private persons — communications, whose individuality in style proved them beyond a doubt to be dic- tated by the spirits of those whose respective names were attached to them. Through the agency of these medio, all classes conversed with deceased relatives and friends, or what purported to be such. But there were matters still more marvellous. Numbers in all parts of the country suddenly and simultaneously claimed to be gifted with the power of healing by the laying on of hands. Before this power all manner of diseases were suddenly and permanently cured. More astounding still, thousands were cured by the mere will of the healers, when the patients were not only not present, but in some instances hundreds of miles distant. " More astounding still, whole books, sermons, lectures, poems, were claimed to be dictated by spirits purporting to be those of persons of high eminence when in the form, and, more startling still, all these wonders, and numerous others, are constantly repeated to this hour, so that hundreds of men and women are every day being healed of every form of disease by persons, in some instances, in no wise remarkable for their knowledge ; in some cases simply by the laying on of hands, in others merely by an 324 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. order of the will. Lawyers confess to receiving many of their most valuable points from deceased members of their profession. Poems, discourses, lectures, books, edi- torials, are composed by media in a state of trance ; secrets buried with the dead are revealed through media by the spirits of those who died with them; and, what is cer- tainly very singular, these revelations have, in most cases, been found correct in all >articulars. "To sum up — thousands on thousands of communications are every day delivered through media, by spirits of parties out of the form, to relatives and friends in the form ; distressed widows and friends, greatly to their relief and satisfaction, are daily receiving important information from the spirits of those who, when leaving the form, carried with them facts of the highest value to those they left behind ; bereaved parents are raised from depression by messages from beloved ones happy in higher spheres ; widows receive counsel from the spirits of their late husbands, and vice versa ; portraits are painted of deceased persons by artists who never saw the par- ties in the form, and these likenesses are pronounced to the life by the friends and relatives, who, satisfied that the painter could never have seen or known the originals, are filled with amazement. •'To conclude — music is played upon instruments by invisible hands ; heavy tables are lifted, persons raised from their chairs, chairs and tables dance, and a thousand other wonderful things are performed by invisible hands ; the blind have their sight restored ; the lame and diseased are made whole, and lost persons are found. '•In addition to our permanent conventions for eliciting facts, and our regular meetings, we have private societies for the purpose of enlightening and ameliorating the condition of spirits in darkness, and thus leading them out to light and progress. These societies are numerous, both in the United States and South America. To these meetings very many spirits eagerly and thankfully come, and manifest their presence. They ask and reply to questions, in some cases by the alphabet, and in others through writing media. Not unfrecpiently, in these societies, classes are formed for the re- ligious instruction of spirits, who attend with regularity, and promptly answer to their names by raps at the call of the roll. What do we teach the spirits ? What we have learned from the Bible. Specifically? How to pray to the Great Jehovah ; what thoughts they must cultivate; the sentiments and teachings of Jesus of Xaza- reth. What kind of spirits come to these meetings ? Those in darkness, and who, when in the form, never heard, or did not heed, the inspired preachings of Jesus. Do we help any out of darkness? We believe, great numbers. How do we know ? The spirits themselves so inform us. "As to our members, as a body. This I cannot intelligently answer. To meet your query upon this point, I have made several inquiries, in quarters I fancied most likely to have information upon it, but have been unable to obtain more than ap- proximating facts. We have several newspapers, the most prominent of which are The Spiritual Telegraph (published in New York), the Banner of Light, and the Spirit- ual Age (both of Boston). We have also several monthlies, nearly all of which are widely read. Of the periodicals mentioned. The Spiritual Telegraph, the Banner of Light, and the Spiritual Age. have, as I understand, a joint circulation of not far from fifty thousand. The total circulation of the others I estimate at about twenty thou- sand— in all. 70,000. Allowing that one in every Jive takes one or other of our eleven, periodicals, we have, say, fifty-five thousand. But as that is a very unusual proportion, one in fifteen being, as I understand, a close proportion, I presume it would not be far from the truth to put down our acknowledged number in the United States at 165,000. To these perhaps ought in fairness to be added, great numbers who regularly visit our media, and take part in our circles, but do not openly ac- knowledge themselves Spiritualists. " Do we believe in Jesus Christ ? Certainly. AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 325 " As to our doctrinal beliefs, these are easily stated. But before speaking of them, permit me to say a few words about our media, who are various. We have, then — first: "Writing media, who write in a state of trance, and whose hands are wholly moved by, as we believe, spirits, who have absolute control of them for the time being. Second : speaking media, who, also in a state of trance, speak under the influence of spirits, some of whom prefer such to writing media. Third : Seeing media, who are so far developed that they can and do literally behold spirits. Fourth : healing media, who by will, the laying on of hands, and the aid of spirits, heal all manner of diseases. Fifth : discerning media, who, by simply placing a sealed let- ter on the top of their head, against their lip, or on the palm of their hand, can .ac- curately read its contents. Lastly : normal media, who seem to speak in the natural state, but are under spirit inspiration. "Media are both public and private. Public media are very numerous, and many superior to others; there being gradations in these, as in every thing -else. Private media, of high excellence, are to be met with in very many families, who would not, under any consideration, exhibit in public. I would add, here, that spirits cannot control all media so as to communicate through them ; while other media are so fa- vorably organised by nature, and so easily developed, that nearly every spirit can employ them in communicating ; but media of this superior description are not com- mon. "A word, also, as to spirits. All spirits cannot communicate, as, in the form, all men cannot read. As beiore a child can read, it must first be taught its letters, and to spell, so before a spirit can communicate, it must be developed. This may sound strange to you ; but, I presume, not more so than many other things I have men- tioned. All who left the form ignorant of common things, and the ordinary laws of nature and of science, have to be developed up to these before they can employ the agencies of communication between the spirit spheres and earth. You will, per- haps, be surprised to hear that many spirits smile when first informed by other spirits that they can communicate with friends in the form. •'"We also learn from spirits that the intermediate agency of communication be- tween the spirit world and earth is a certain fluid in the atmosphere, finer than ether, which they are permitted to gather and to make use of for this purpose. There are certain states of weather, when the atmosphere is so dense and heavy that no communication can be had or made — rainy, and what are usually terme*d gloomy days, for example." SPIRITUALIST DOCTRINES. 1. They believe in God the Father, and in Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Spirit, They believe of God the Father, that he is the maker and ruler of all things ; that he is inscrutable, divine, and loving. Of Jesus Christ, that he was a teacher sent of God to break up error, proclaim divine truth, teach men how they might attain earthly and future happiness, and lay the foundations of a church which should be in harmony with the laws of God. And of the Holy Spirit, that it is the Spirit of God breathing through Christ to the heavenly spheres, and through them to men, and inciting, inviting, and inspiring them severally to that life which is in harmony with His own divine nature, His teachings, and His laws. 2. That all men are media in greater or less degree, and that man in all ages has had the privilege of intercourse with inhabitants of the spirit spheres ; but that, till recently — thanks to the persecuting spirit of men — but few availed themselves of this privilege, which — thanks again to the divided condition of the church — can now be exercised with personal safety, for the first time in the world's history. 3. That all beings in the spirit world once dwelt in the firm. 326 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 4. That the spirit world is made up of a stated number of great or general spheres, each of which is divided and subdivided into an incomprehensible number of smaller spheres or societies, whose variety is equal to the varieties of individualities that ever have and ever shall appear in all the earths. 5. That the next sphere, or that into which the spirit passes after the change called death, is. in most respects, the counterpart of this; that it has the same varie- ties of individualities, and of mental, moral, and religious organisms; that spirits there are in all things advanced but one degree higher than mortals ; that spirits are on as low planes in ignorance, bigotry, selfishness, and stupidity, as the inhabitants of this and other earths ; and that developed spirits there are making the same struggles for the rescue of their fellow-beings from the darkness of ignorance, big- otry, selfishness, and stupidity, as good men are here, and with a measure of suc- cess only excelling that of mortals in a single degree. G. That, as Regards the great sin of the earths, Hypocrisy, the next sphere is immeasurably in advance of this, as every developed spirit is clairvoyant and can read the thoughts of all on his own plane, as well as of those below him. Hence, none can successfully assume to be what they are not, nor in any wise deceive. [Let me be plainer. While a developed spirit can read the thoughts of all on lower planes than himself, the latter cannot penetrate his. A spirit in the third sphere, for exam- ple, can read the minds of all spirits in the second ; but a spirit in the second cannot discern the thoughts of a spirit of the third. In a word, every spirit can read the mind of every other on his own and all lower planes.] I. That the inhabitants of the second sphere owe their development to the same cause as that of man — the Spirit of God's love in the hearts of the good ; and that the characters and degrees of their development correspond to those witnessed in men. 8. That the stars are earths, in many respects like this, and inhabited by beings like ourselves, and subject to kindred laws and conditions of existence. 9. As respects man. They believe that man has not, but that he is an immortal spirit, and exists now for the first time ; that he is, primarily and presently, in all things, a free agent ; and, as the immortal offspring of God, destined to eternal life and progress. 10. That the society into which each individual spirit shall enter in the next sphere, is wholly and exclusively dependent upon himself; that is, upon the moral character formed by him on earth. If his habits of thought and action in the form are base, such will be the exact character of the individualities in the society or sphere he will enter there. A being, for example, who is a slanderer, a liar, a hypo- crite, a thief, all in one, will enter a society precisely up or down to his standard in these and every other particular. And so of beings of all moral compounds. Hence, whoever would enter a society free from these vices, must cultivate himself here so as to be fit for it. There is no escaping this or any other condition of spirit existence. II. That every one takes with him all the acquired habits, tastes, and feelings that he had at the close of his primary state. Hence, that it is obviously the duty and the policy of every one promptly and firmly to throw off all evil practices of any and every nature, pursued for whatever motive, and to cultivate only such as will stand the most exacting scrutiny, and entitle him to a place among the elevated and the pure. Whoever does not this, is an enemy to his own present and future hap- piness. 12. That everv one takes with him all the knowledge and all the ignorance, on every subject, that he had when leaving the form; that they who were ignorant on moral and other progressive subjects, will discover that ignorance to be as great a bar to their progress in the spirit world as it proved in the primary state ; that they AMERICAN CHRISTIAN* RECORD. 327 * whose knowledge on all progressive subjects was crude and imperfect, as far as it went, will rind that crudeness and imperfection a material hindrance to their progress on the same subjects in the spirit sphere. Hence, that it is the policy of all men, in whatever they learn in the form, to learn that, be it great or little, clearly and thoroughly ; and in all progressive acquirements; to master the principles intelligently. Whoever, in this respect, is negligent or indifferent, is laying a foundation for future regrets and personal hindrances. 13. That as every man sows, so shall he reap. That every one who purposely of ignorantly does injury or wounds the feelings of others, will himself be injured and wounded in precisely the same manner, and exactly to the same extent, in the spirit World. Hence, that every man ought in all things to be carefully guarded, to know what he does, and to study out every act to its finality, so far as he can see, before he performs it; as it is most certain that every act and word of every man's life, contrary to the teaching of Jesus, " as you would that others should do to you, do you so to them," will be visited upon himself, in kind. So, also, of his good words and acts. Hence, every man that strikes a blow at the reputation, peace, and happiness of another, is only laying up like blows for himself in the future. 14. That as we judge others, we shall ourselves, literally, be judged. Hence, that it is the policy of every man to judge no other ; and that all who make this a fixed principle, are thereby preserving themselves from just so much personal unhappiness in the spirit world. 15. That for every wrong to Right, Truth and Love, every man will be repaid in Kind, and that none, however good in other respects, can, by any possibility, or in any way, escape this. Hence, that it is the policy of every one to do no evil. 16. They believe in the supreme wisdom, goodness and love of Jehovah, and that these, His divine attributes, concentre in one august attribute — Justice, which He will meet out to every one throughout all everlasting ; and that every created being ir/jst and will receive the full measure of reward which exact justice demands; as well for good as for evil. Hence, that it is the policy of every one, in all things, and at what- ever personal sacrifice of time, property and feeling, not only always to do right, but to do right with good measure, in order, if possible, at least to balance inadvertent wrongs. 17. That man's real moral status at death is his moral status and starting point on entering spirit life. 18. That every man must work out his own salvation, and be his own saviour. Hence, that it is the policy of every one on earth to cultivate in himself a pure moral organism. 19. They believe that the teachings of the inspired teacher, Jesus, are incompara- ble, and sufficient in themselves, without further instruction, to teach man all that is sufficient to enable him, if he will obey, to attain a high starting point in spirit progress. 20. As to the spirit spheres. They believe that all developed spirits are teachers and ministering angels to the undeveloped ; that life eternal means constant progression ; that all the universe is one great harmony; that it is the interest of every one so to conduct himself in thought and action, through life, as to be in accord and corres- pondence with that harmony; that every developed spirit, in anyone sphere, may communicate with spirits in all spheres, but that "only developed spirits are aware of this, and avail themselves of the privilege ; that all the earths, in scenery, occupa- tions and uses, very closely resemble the second sphere, which, in all things, is but one degree higher; that every one, in the form, attracts around him spirits out of the form, in disposition, tastes and feelings like himself, who are drawn towards him, as like attracts like ; that, as man's internal character changes, the spirits about him are not the same as before, but such as are in accord with his change ; that those 828 AMERICAN* CHRISTIAN RECORD. spirits are soonest developed who, when in the form, by their sincerity, humanity and virtue, planted seed that fructified in good; that when a spirit is sufficiently de- veloped .to make him worthy and in all things tit for it, he is immediately advanced to the third sphere, which, though only one degree higher than the second, yet, in individual advancement, comprehends a great deal. As to communications between spirits of the first and second spheres. While every one may converse with spirits, yet, when thus conversing, it is unwise to ex- pect an unfoldment of all facts concerning the spirit spheres, from a single or a few spirits* Such facts can only be obtained by communicating with a great many spirits. For, as on earth, a man can positively assert, of his own knowledge, only the few facts in his own experience, and can impart real information only upon such things as he has himself practically had to do with, but can give a hear-say, and an opinion concerning many others; so, in the spirit world, a spirit, when communicating, can give real information only on such subjects as he has personally had experience in, but can give an opinion concerning others, which opinion may or may not accord witli the facts. Thus, at a recent private meeting for the amelioration and advance- ment of ignorant and benighted spirits, the question was asked of a young femalo spirit, '•Where are you?-' and the reply was, ''In the dark," ''In what place?" '"I don't know; 1 cannot see; it is all dark." "How long have you been thus?" " Ever since I left the form." " How long is that?" " Since December twenty-sixth, eighteen hundred and fifty-five." "Have you, in all that time, not seen light?" "No." "Nor any other person, or spirit?'1 No." The inference here would be that all spirits are in darkness, which interviews with other spirits teach us is not the case. General facts can only be arrived at by communicating with many, by avoiding drawing inferences too soon, and by discriminating between the facts baa ;d upon each spirit's individual experience, and his opinions and hear-says, which are of no moment. In regard to prophecies. Spirits can prophesy, but only as men can who. under standing causes, have the mental ability to forecast effects; no more. Spirits being clairvoyant, can perceive the depth of rottenness in a ship's hull, and thus foretell disaster ; but only such as on earth were familiar with mathematics, the qualities of tim- ber, and the action of water and storms upon wood and metal, or have been educated in these respects since their translation into the spirit world, could trace shipwreck from this cause. So in regard to prophecies on other subjects. Spirits, in their solicit- ude for loved ones in the lbrm, not unfrequently presage injury if certain steps are taken, sometimes with correctness, but oftencr not — their power in this regard being only as described, and their solicitude accounting for the eagerness of their predic- tions, just as a loving friend will often urge one beloved not to take a given step, as the adviser feels that something fearful will come of it. In matters of illness, those spirits who, as physicians, carried with them a scientific knowledge of medicine and physiology, can use their clairvoyant powers to advan- tage in discerning the seat aud progress of disease, prescribing remedies, and fore- casting the probable duration of life. But their positive knowledge in this respect is no greater than that of a human being who has an intelligent, scientific understand- ing on such subjects, The duration of life in any given individual is known with certainty to no human being, to no spirit in Heaven, and to God alone. As to infants. On entering the second sphere, infants are taken in charge by de- veloped matrons, who care for them tenderly, watch over their education, introduce and keep them in circles where they will not learn evil, and never withdraw their guardian care till their charges have become adults. Jt\ in the meanwhile, the child'3 own mother should arrive in the spirit world, and she is lit for the society into which the child has been introduced, its care is transferred to her; otherwise, if she is unfit. The last subject — death. They believe, respecting this, that with whatever of AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 329 knowledge and ignorance, goodness and wickedness, sincerity and hypocrisy, a man lies down, so he rises. Whatever he has acquired, in knowledge, perfect and im- perfect, in integrity and deceit, he never loses. He leaves to the earth what he took from the earth — his form only. His moral status, his tastes and feelings, his pro- pensities and proclivities, ah the compounds and peculiarities of his individuality, go with him, and rise with him. The process itself — that is, the separation of the spirit from the form — is wholly without pain. During the process, the spirit is unconscious, and it does not return to sensibility till the separation is wholly complete, when it usually hnds itself in the Same place where the eventful incident in its history took place. The process sometimes occupies only a few minutes, sometimes a few hours, and sometimes several hours, according to the tenacity of life natural to the organism of the individual; The spirit of a Presbyterian clergyman, who died some two years since at Philadelphia, recently described his experience upon this point, as follows : " I had been ill many weeks. One morning, being worse; I took leave of my family. In the afternoon, however, a favorable change seemed to have taken place. I felt more cheerful and exhilarated than for some time ; and, with the exception of a coldness at my extremities, I was quite tranquil and happy. Towards evening, slumber gradually came over me. When I awoke, I was standing in the middle of the room, perfectly free from pain, and with a youthfulness of feeling reminding me of my school days. To my surprise, several gentlemen and lady friends were sit- ting around in grave silence on the right, while my wife, with her arms around our two small boys, was gazing tearfully at a pale face, which I at first did not recognise, in a coffin, resting on two stools, on the left. I approached, and laying my hand upon her shoulder, inquired, 'Jane, my dear, why are you weeping?' To my sur- prise she did not answer, nor appear to be aware of my presence. I repeated my inquiry, but without catching her attention. I then spoke to my children, but with no better result. I looked at the marble-like face in the coffin ; but though I seemed to remember the profile, I yet could not distinctly identify it. I then turned to the nearest male visitor — one of my deacons, a venerable man — and laying my hand upon his shoulder, said: 'Deacon, why are all here bowed in grief, and for whom are my wife and children weeping?' To my astonishment, he neither seemed to have heard me, nor to have felt the pressure of my hand. I looked at him some moments in silence, and then put a like question to several others, without, however, eliciting any reply, or being a*ble to perceive that any had heard me or were aware of my presence. In the midst of my perplexity, a gentleman with an agreeable ex- terior approached, with a friendly smile, and kindly taking me by the hand, ob- served: 'You are no longer in the form, and these cannot hear nor see you. You are in the spirit world. Come.' The truth now burst upon me, and I "recognised the marble face. I followed my guide, and we passed out, no one seeming to hear or observe us." In his case the process had occupied several hours. AMERICAN UNITARIAN ASSOCIATION. Annual meeting, in Hollis street Church, Boston, Mass., May 23. Rev. Dr. Hal] of Providence, in the chair. The Report of the Executive Committee, read by their Secretary, Rev. Dr. Miles, 330 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. of Boston, stated that returns had been received from a larger number of societies than usual, and the amount of contributions was correspondingly generous. The mission in Kansas had effected much good to the denomination in that quar- ter, and was comparatively successful. The Society in Lawrence, under the charge of Rev. Mr. Xute, was now self- sustaining, and other societies promised soon to become so. The experiment of the mission to India, though attended with expense, is regarded with such deep interest, and has so much promise in the future, that it is deemed wise to continue its support. The publishing department had recently been reorganised, and placed under the charge of experienced publishers, who would doubtless make it a more efficient auxiliary in the cause. Originally the sum of $27,000 was raised for the book-publishing business, to be used as working capital, with the expectation of further increasing it to $50,000. In 1833 there was paid out from the book fund, for plates, books, tracts, furniture, &c, the sum of $6,279 for books, including the works of Channing, Osgood, Hall, Alger, and Ware; also for stereotyping and printing other works, $11,362; for paper, s7..jj9 ; for binding, $4,834. The total amount thus far paid out was $-13,090. The total income had been $28,255, and the present clear property of the Associa- tion amounted to $26,235. The sales of books yielded nearly $1-1,000. Eight of the books published had more than paid the expense of their issue, and but for the gratuitous donations of books to libraries, missions, &c, the proceeds from this source would be much larger. In reviewing their work, the Executive Committee found much cause of encouragement for a prosperous future. At the close of the Report, the Chairman alluded to the improved pecuniary pros- pects of the Association as highly gratifying, and then made some earnest remarks upon its higher claims and purposes, as endeavoring to advance Christianity b}^ asso- ciated effort, yet cherishing perfect individuality and independence of thought and action. The meeting was further addressed by Rev. A. "Woodbury, of Providence, on the Relation between Liberal Christianity and American Life; by Rev. A. A. Livermore, of ]STew York, on the Power o*f the Laity in the Christian Church ; by Rev. J. E. Clarke, of Boston, on the Aims of the American Unitarian Association, and its claims on the co-operation of its friends; and by Rev. Dr. Gannett, of Boston, on the fruits of the Unitarian Theology in the memorials of a past generation of believers. The thirty-fourth annual meeting for the election of oilieers was held. May 25. in the Freeman Plao President, Rev. Dr. Hall, of Providence, in the chair. The Treasurer, -Mr. Calvin Clark, submitted his annual report, from which it ap- pears that the balance on hand at the commencement of the year was $1,457.30 ; that the receipts amounted to $13,138.78, including $3,160.60 received from the Quarterly Journal; 2.56 from the sale of books; auxiliaries, donations, and income of invested funds, $5,554.62. The expenditures, including $6,574.62 paid fa- publishing bonks. $600 for Kansas mission, and $925 for Calcutta mission, amounted to $15,103.37, leaving a balance in the treasury of $1,492.71. The As- sociation owes $2,000 on borrowed money, arid holds invested property to the amount of $6,500. A protracted debate occurred, growing out of an inquiry in regard to the condi- tion of the Permanent Trust Fund of the Association, for the maintenance of a General .' . and it was voted that a special committee be appointed to investi- gate the matter of the "Permanent Fund lor a General Agency," and if they find that it was raised for a special purpose, that the fund be hereafter kept separate from other funds. The sub-committee, to whom was referred the subject of dividing the responsibili- AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 331 tics of the Secretary anions the members of the Executive Committee, submitted a report containing- seven recommendations tending to modify the duties and reduce the salary of that officer. They recommended the reduction of the compensation of the Secretary from $3,000 to $300; that all paid agents for collecting money be dispensed with, and that the duties of the same be performed voluntarily by the clergy that the duties of the Home Missionary and Foreigu departments be performed bj sub-committees of the Board. A discussion followed upon the general proposition involved in the report, which was participated in by Rev. Dr. Bellows, of New York, Rev. E. E. Hale, of Bos- ton, Rev. Dr. Stebbins, of "Woburn, and others. The design of the committee was stated to be to prevent the payment of $5,000 or $6,000 officially for the disburse- ment of $16,000. A motion to reduce the duties of the Secretary to the limited requirements of a clerkship, it being understood that a missionary would be appointed, was laid upon the table, and it was voted that the duties of the Secretary consist of the usual office work of a Recording and Corresponding Secretary, of as wide missionary labor, and as frequent and large intercourse with the congregations of the denomination, as shall be practicable, and whatever other service the Executive Committee shall direct, and that the salary be fixed at not less than $2,000, or more than $3,000, subject to the decision of the Executive Committee. The following gentlemen were elected officers for the ensuing year: President, Rev. F. H. Hedge ; Vice Presidents, Hon. B. F. Thomas, Rev. R. P Stebbins; Secretary, Rev. James Freeman Clarke; Treasurer, Calvin W. Clark; Directors, Rev. H. A. Miles, Rev. "William R. Alger, Rev; C. H. Brigham, Rev. Henry W. Bellows, Rev. George W\ Hosmer, Rev. Cazneau Palfrey, Rev.

Thomas, L. G. Livermore, and Dr. Elliott, of St. Louis, extemporised pertinent remarks. Mr. Ansorge, of Dorchester, spoke of church music, and took strong ground in favor of congregational singing. Mr. G^ngooly, a young Brahmin, followed in a few words on Methodism, and con- cluded with supporting the views of the previous speaker on congregational singing. on which subject the Hon. Mr. Elliott, Rev. Mr. Battelle, of Pall River, Rev. Jones Very, of Salem, and Rev. Mr. Ritter, of New York, were also eloqent. Rev.

The Society desires to extend its operations to Mexico and the South American republics. Men are ready for the work. The Society has a commodious house nearly free from debt, with perfect facilities in steam power, machinery, and stereotype plates, for an economical and rapid multiplication of its various works, which constitute a body of evangelical literature upon every theme, from the minutest duties of a holy life to the profoundest doctrines of the Christian system.

Annual meeting on the 25th and 26th October, in the Congregational Church, Albany, N. Y. Opening sermon by Rev. Dr. Stevens of Newark, N. J. Addresses were made by Rev. Dr. Patton of New York, Rev. Mr. Manning of Boston, and Rev. Mr. Bell of California. The annual report was read by the Corresponding Secretary, Rev. Theron Baldwin. 340 AMERICAN' CHRISTIAN' RECORD. Although the annual receipts of the Society are comparatively small, it was shown that the results in sustaining institutions early planted, and in planting others further west, were encouraging. The nominal resources of the five institutions in whose immediate necessities the Society had its origin, did not exceed $400,000, encumbered with a debt of $100,000, and most of them, had they been forced into liquidation, would have been insolvent. These institutions have been rescued and sustained, and their friends at the West thereby stimulated to liberal efforts, till now, the resources of these five, over and above all indebtedness, exceed by several hundred thousand dollars, their entire capital sixteen years ago. In addition to these five, four others, east of the Mississippi, have been aided ; and it is thought that $29,000 would place them all in a position to require no further assistance from the Society, and leave the nine in possession of educational appli- ances to the amount of one and a quarter million of dollars. Aid has also been furnished to a number of institutions west of the Mississippi, onward to the Pacific, which bid fair to become centres of moral power in those rapidly rising Statoe.

Triennial meeting of the Provincial Synod of the United Brethren's Church, at Bethlehem, Pa,, June 2-16, inclusive, 1858. Right Rev. Joseph C. Jacobson, Bishop, and President, in the chair. Report of Board of Elders. y Congregations under their care — 3 place, G city and town, 11 country ; total, 20. The German and Anglo-American brethren at West Salem, 111., not agreeing con- cerning the ritual and management of temporal affairs, had divided, each division worshipping in a separate house, and formed a General Board of Trustees, consisting of four members, of which each division has two, with the minister as present. Un- der this arrangement, all is once more harmony. The Enon (Indiana) had united with the Hope congregation. The small congregation at Brooklyn, N. Y., were in deep pecuniary distress. The West Salem (Illinois) settlement was prospering. The Hope (Indiana) settlement had been highly favored. By the sale of lots, suffi- cient funds had been raised to aid very materially in the support of the minister and the church, and to build, furnish, and endow an academy. In Bethlehem, the old church, the old congregation house, and old children's house, with their contiguous buildings and grounds, had been ceded back to tho Bethlehem congregation. Two ordained ministers, Charles Barstow and J. II. Eberman, and one ordained home missionary, had voluntarily withdrawn from the service of the church. The educational institutions of the church were highly prosperous. AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 341 Financial Report Total receipts for three years, $38,515.39, from the following sources : Lititz B.

AMERICAN BIBLE UNION. REPORT. Since the last anniversary, the Gospels by Luke and John had been published. The Gospel by Matthew had been thoroughly revised, and was passing through the press as a preliminary revision. The Epistles to Philemon and the Galatians had been revised. Dr. Bodiger had furnished valuable notes and criticisms on the revi* sion of Job, which would be published with future editions of that work. The object of the Society was to procure and circulate the most faithful versions of the Scriptures in all languages throughout the world. Five hundred copies of the Society's edition of the Italian Testament had been granted to Dr. Achilli for distribution in Italy. The Society lamented the death of Rev. Frederick Crowe, the translator of their edition of the Spanish Testament, at the very moment of the completion of his lite- rary labors. Oyer $4,000 had been collected and granted in German Testaments to Mr. Orcken, of Hamburg, for distribution among the German armies of Europe. The extraordinary step of sending one of the Final Committee to Greece, to fami- liarise himself with the use of the language of the New Testament as a living tongue, had been fully justified by Mr. Hackett's experience. Applications had been made to the Society for aid in printing and circulating the Scriptures in Chinese, Japanese, Siamese, Burmese, Karen, Bengali, and otht,. lan- guages of India, and various languages of American Indians ; and the time appeared to have arrived when the Society should proclaim to the world its readiness to aid in every language, as it should be supplied with means, the circulation of the most faithful versions of the Bible. The experience of the society confirmed them in the opinion that for ordinary pur- poses, short tracts are of more service in propagating truth among the common people than larger publications. Twenty-four were published and circulated during the past year, with visible advantage ; and a second series of larger size, consisting of selected pamphlets, had been arranged. These two series furnish an effective revision litera- ture, for which, it was thought, there would always be a demand, until ah opponents were converted to friends. 350 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD.

Number of missionaries employed was not larger than during last year ; but very many young men, including hfteen from Cambridge, were preparing to become mis- sionaries. 352 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 100,000 persons in Southern India and Ceylon had united for the purpose of re- ceiving instruction. Receipts — £122,088, larger than in any other year, except that immediately pre- ceding it, when there had been an extraordinary donation of £10,000. Disposable balance on hand, £41,097. Speakers — The Duke of Marlborough, the Bishop of London, and several clergy- men FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETIES IN" 1859. Great Britain. The engagements of the British and Foreign Bible Society for printing abroad, ex- tend to France, Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Turkey, Greece, In- dia, and China. In the latter country to the amount of 50,000 Bibles, 700,000 Tes- taments, and 50,000 Mandarin colloquial New Testaments. The number of its for- eign agents is 9, and its domestic 8, including 2 in London. A system of colportage has been extensively resorted to in many localities even at home, and with great profit, though from its expensiveness, the hope is expressed that it need not from necessity become a permanent method of circulating the Scriptures. The distributions of Bibles and Testaments for the year, from the depot at home and those abroad,' were, 1,602,187 copies; making an aggregate since the society was formed in 1809, of thirty-three million nine hundred and eighty-nine thousand nine hundred and forty-six copies. Ireland. The Hibernian Bible Society distributed the past year 82,069 copies of the Scrip- tures. To the Sunday School Society for Ireland were granted 15,000 Bibles and 15,500 Testaments. In 3,000 schools were 200,000 children, instructed by nearly 20,000 teachers. France. The distributions in France, through agency and colporteurs of the British and Foreign Bible Society, amounted for the past year to 85,836 copies. The issues of the French and Foreign Bible Society for the same period were, 57,900 Testaments, a portion, however, were sold to the agency above named. Germany. Distributions are made more and more extensively every year by the agency of the British Society and the American, aside from what is done by the Prussian Bible Society. In no part of Europe are distributions more hopeful, though the Lutheran Church approves none unless they contain the Apocrypha, not issued by other agencies. Holland. The distributions by the Netherlands Bible Society the past year were 38,527 copies. AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 353 Sweden. The distributions of the Swedish Bible Society the past year were 2,589 Bibles, 5,829 Testaments. The agency of* the British and Foreign Bible Society have in this time printed at Stockholm 75,000, and have 10,000 Swedish Bibles and 30,000 Testaments now in process of completion. Norway and Finland. Distributions are highly encouraging, both by the native Bible Societies and through the British Bible agency. An edition of 1,000 Bibles and 10,000 Testaments were, in course of publication in Finland. Ruzsia. In this empire there is at present but little to encourage the friends of the Bible. The late war has made it more difficult than before to make distributions. The agent Of the British and Foreign Bible Society at Odessa, Mr. Melville, is not, as formerly, permitted to visit other places in his good work, nor to employ colporteurs. Among the German colonies on the Azof, and the Lutheran on the Baltic, some- thing is effected ; and also distributions by the Petersburgh agency, the past year, amounted to 12,290 copies. In Switzerland and Sardinia Extensive distributions have been made by Lieutenant Graydon, agent of the British and Foreign Bible Society. The Lausanne Bible Society is also reported as active and useful. M. M. Madiai, who has charge of the depot at Nice, makes the follow- ing report : "Through one colporteur he obtained a dissemination of some 2,200 copies, or an increase of more than 300 copies on the sales of the previous year. M. Betti, of the depot at Genoa, obtained, through four colporteurs, a circulation of nearly 8,500 copies, or more than double the number of 1856. Through the depot at Turin, by two col- porteurs, and also by its numerous friends, some 2,180 copies more were disposed of; and, finally, though last not least in importance, Dr. De Sanctis disseminated, through one colporteur, and in a very short time, about 600 copies. Thus were nearly 14,000 copies purchased throughout the very wide extent of country comprehended between the Alps, the river Ticino, and the sea coast ! " In Greece Distributions are made in the schools and otherwise, to some extent, as in former years. Turkey. The Bible is called for by Armenians, Greeks, and even by Jews and Mahommedans, in a manner which awakens hope that great changes for good are there to be realised before a distant day. Letters from Rev. Mr. Bliss, agent of the American Bible Society, are full of encouragement, as to distributions not only in Constantinople and vicinity, but in Syria, Greece, Bulgaria and Wallachia. Mr. Barker, agent of the British and Foreign Bible Society, in a letter to their com- mittee, writes in regard to the Governor of the latter country : "I have had a long interview with my old friend Prince Alexander Ghika, the present Caimachan or Governor of Walla chia, on business principally regarding our society's work. You, no doubt, remember very well that our first edition of the "Wdlachian New Testament was published under the auspices of this Prince, who 23 354 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. permitted his name to be placed on the title page, thus approving it, and authorising its circulation. I had already seen him twice before, but he was so occupied that I could have no private conversation with him; on this occasion, however, I had plent}'- of time to enter fully on all particulars relative to our work in the Danubian Provinces and elsewhere. He was much pleased to find that the New Testament was so readily bought up in YVallaehia, and that we were printing another large edition of the same at Bucharest. In short, the Prince was so pleased with the information I gave him, that he requested me to return and dine with him; and at the proper hour, sent one of his aides-de-camp, and a carriage, to conduct and convey me to his palace." Two colporteurs sent by the same agent into Bulgaria, disposed of 3,174 Bulgarian Testaments, and some 200 more in Servian and m&clern Greek, the bishop recom- mending purchases. India. The cause of the Bible, in this portion of the British possessions, is now, since the war, more hopeful than ever. The Calcutta Auxiliary Bible Society record with sorrow the death of Bishop Daniel Wilson, who had long been a devoted friend and helper in their field. They have as- surance, however, of a coadjutor of kindred spirit in his successor, Bishop Cotton. Preparations are being made for large editions of the Scriptures in the various tongues of India, and for the employment of colporteurs to distribute them. MASSACHUSETTS BIBLE SOCIETY.

Increasing demand for the Society's Publications. — The catalogue embraces 26 bound volumes, and a variety of tracts in the English and German languages. The plan of sending out the publications on sale is continued, and they may be found at 150 different points between Boston, Mass., and Leavenworth, Kansas, and in Canada. Circumstances show that the Society's proximity to the Slave States affords special advantages for the circulation of its publications in those States. Special donations have been received for books an^ tracts to be distributed, espe- ciall3r in Kentucky. The missionaries of the American Missionary Association have called for more books and tracts of the Society than during any former year. The circulation of the Society's organ, The Christian Press, has been greatly in- creased, more than 120,000 copies having been printed during the year. The churches, have been extensively visited by agents, for the purpose of explain- ing the objects of the Society, and removing misapprehensions. An effort had been made for a union or co-operation of the Society with the Bos- ton American Tract Society, but without result.

GENERAL SOCIETIES ESTABLISHED IN MOST OF THE DIOCESES. i Arch Confraternity of the Most Holy and Immaculate Heart of Mary, for the Con- version of Sinners, for the spiritual progress of congregations. Society for the Propagation of the Faith (Missionary).* t The great Missionary Society of the Church, to -which every Roman Catholic Church on the earth contributes. Perhaps no other Society in existence is so well and thoroughly organised. In every district, one person in every ten, once a week, collects the contributions of the other nine, and hands them with his own over to one of ten similar groups, so that one person every week thus col- lects the contributions of a hundred associates. Ten more of similar rank form a Division, one of whom takes in weekly the subscriptions of each hundred, and forwards the amount to the central treasury of the Association. At least a penny a week is expected from each contributor — a sum very insignificant in itself, but when collected from every person m the Church throughout the world, swells up to an incredible amount. AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 395 Confraternity of the Holy Rosary, for the support of Orphans and the Poor. Society of St. Vincent de Paul, for the temporal and spiritual relief of the poor. There are branches of these in nearly every diocese and parish in the United States. There are also innumerable local societies for furnishing and embellishing churches, defraying church debts, sustaining particular missions, helping students, sustaining orphan, madgalen, and other asylums, providing for indigent widows and helpless old men and women, protecting respectable females out of employ, etc. Local literary associations, well provided with books, periodicals, and means of healthful and innocent recreation, are in course of establishment in the leading towns and cities.

Second Annual Meeting at No. 20 Cooper Institute, New York, May 12, 1859. The President, Dr. P. L. "Wilsey, in the chair. REPORT OF EXECUTIVE COUNCIL. Gross receipts of the year, from dues, donations, and sales of books, about $1,300; of which, after deducting $591.35 for books and tracts, and $353.24 for room rent, clerk hire, and fitting up the book room, only a small sum was left for the usee con- templated by the Association. Of this small sum, the largest portion, $296.75, was appropriated to the cause of colportage. The labors of Mr. Pingree, colporteur, had been such as to show that this amount was judiciously expended. It is not easy to estimate the amount of good that would ultimately result from Ms few months of toil in disseminating the heavenly doctrines through a region of country where they had hitherto been totally unknown. The Council had also employed Mr. J. A. Lamb as colporteur in Connecticut, whose term of service had not yet expired. Satisfied that the system of colportage is the best that could be adopted for the dissemination of the heavenly doctrines, the Council urged upon the Association and its friends, the necessity of liberal contributions for that purpose. The Council, during the year, had published an edition of 1,000 copies of two tracts, one on the Creditability of Swedenborg, and the other on the Memory of the Soul. The organ of the Association, TJie Sic-edenborgian, had been enlarged to seventy- two pages, and the size of the page increased. The present number of subscribers was 637, an increase of 110 since the last report, while sixty copies were sent free, and twenty others to exchanges. The Society hoped the Association and its friends would exert their influence in its behalf, and that those whose subscriptions remained unpaid, would be prompt in remitting. The Council appealed to all who loved the New Jerusalem, to assist the Asso«ia- tion in disseminating its docrines, and to uphold its efforts with their influence and their prayers. 404 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD.

LIBERALITY OF CONGREGATIONS TO PASTORS. Some opulent members of Rev. Dr. Chapin's church, New York, have made liberal subscriptions toward presenting him with a new house in Thirty-fifth street, near Fifth Avenue, and worth $24,000. The North Church (Cong.) of Hartford, Conn., presented Rev. Dr. BushnelL their late pastor, with a generous gift of $10,000. as a testimony of their appreciation of him as a minister and their affection for him as a man. Dr. Stratton's (Pres.) Church at Natchez, Miss., on his taking leave for a voyage to Europe for his health, presented him with $3,000. About the same time he re- ceived $700 in marriage fees, and a gift of $400 for a funeral service. A surprise party presented Rev. Dr. Bacon, of New Haven, with a purse contain- ing $717 in gold.

At the anniversary in Paris, in May, 1859, the report of this Society represented the receipts to be nearly 84,000 francs; the expenditure, 92,900 francs. More than a million of tracts had been distributed, of which a large portion had been to pris- oners and soldiers. The Society had also begun the publication of a new family library of books. The Romanists had done much to impede the Society's laborers ; they having recently formed an association, called the Society of St. Francis De Sales, for tho distribution of anti-protestant tracts, containing atrocious slanders against the pro- testant church and pastors, for the purpose of creating prejudice and obstacles in the way of their success. Fault was found at the meeting with many of the publications of the Society, which, being mostly translations from English works, do not meet the want3 of French readers ; the too careless style of tho publications, too, was censured, the French liking only what is carefully mada.

We had hoped to present our readers with a full Post Office list, but after persevering efforts we only succeeded in ob- taining the Ministers of twenty-three Conferences, without the Post Office addresses, which we present as better than none. We hope for better success next time. NEW YORK AND VERMONT CONFERENCE. Renel Hanks, 0. C. Dickerson, W. H. Miller, J. J. Smith, George Smith, John Painter, A. H. Speare, Robert Woodruff, J.

Report of C hurch Extension Committee. — During the year the number of Missionaries was 21. The committee being in debt had thought it best not to appoint new men till the debt was paid, which at length had been accomplished, the receipts being larger than in any previous year, and amounting to $10. Samuel Day, of the South Church, Milwaukie, soon after his appointment, joined the Congressional Association of Wisconsin, taking his church with him. The com- mittee refused to pay him, and requested the church to repay the sum of $1,000 granted to them, but had received no reply from Mr. Day or the church. The Committee had been obliged to limit their operations, but in view of the vast field they felt sure they spoke the voice of a large part if not the whole of the church in asking the Assembly to take a position on this subject, that could leave no doubt of the obligation of the church to aid her own brethren crying to her in distress from the West and North West. A Committee was appointed to ascertain the operations and relations of the church to the American Home Missionary Society, and to submit this report, well authenti- cated to the next Grand Assembly. Publication Cvmm,ittee. — The report of the Committee represented that the publica- tions of the year had been largely in advance of any in the past, 51 tracts and volumes had been issued, 7.215 copies of the church had been published. The Supplement and the Tune Book were in course of preparation and would be soon before the pub- lic. The Digest of the Acts of the Assembly was ready and would be published as soon as funds would permit. It was hoped the churches would take up a collection for the cause, and that those doing so be permitted to order from the Committee publications for their own use to the amount of half their respective collections. It was urged upon pastors and Sab- bath School teachers, the duty and privilege of placing their own publications of the church in their families and Sabbath School libraries. The treasurer reported as follows : Balance on hand at the beginning of the year, $1,115 90; donations from churches, $8,588 27; bequest, $350 00; sales, $6,984 11 ; total receipts, $17,038 28. Expenditures, $16,298 26 ; balance on hand, $740 02 —$17,038 28. T e Church Erection Fund. — The whole number, of grants during the year was 37, amounting in all to $13,950. Of the 37 grants, 8 were donations, averaging $180 00, and 29 were loans, averaging $441 00. Much permanent good had been done Through the fund. Since its organization it had made 28 donations, aggregating $5,250, and 91 loans, amounting to $37,868, making in all $43,118. By this aid, over $300,000 worth of property had been secured, and 119 congregations enabled to worship God in their house, free from debt. The fund had been managed with faithfulness and diligence. The Presbytery of Harmony, the Synod of Kentucky, and the Synod of the United Synod of the Pres- byterian Church had each applied to the Committee, asking payment of the sums allotted to them in the first apportionment of the Fund. The Committee definitely 668 AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. replied that the charter expressly declares that the Fund is to aid only feeble churches in connection with the General Assembly. The Presbyteries of "Winona, Iowa city, and Knox, having asked that the portions of the fund allotted to the different Synods might be paid to the Synodical Commit- tees for distribution at their discretion, the Committee replied that the charter con- stitutes the Trustees the sole custodians and managers of the fund. Education Committee. — The Committee reported an increased interest in educa- tion. But though candidates and contributions had increased, both had fallen short of the necessities of the Church. Large numbers of young men had been converted and a deeper interest felt in the welfare of the world. The Committee had had a conference with the representatives of the various local societies in the bonds of the Church, with the view, if ^ ssible, of securing an adjustment of their operations with those of the Permanent committee of the Assembly, and though the subject was still attended with difficulties, all parties had been made more fraternal, harmonious and hopeful. Foreign Missions — The Committee reported that various papers had been laid before them, viz : one from the Synod of Minnesota asking for the securing of a closer rela- tion between the foreign missionaries of the Church and the General Assembly, one from the Presbytery of Newark in favor of forming Presbyteries in the foreign field ; one from the third Presbytery of Philadelphia stating that one of their members in the foreign field had been recommended by his Presbytery to propose to his Presby- terian brethren of the same mission, to form themselves int.' a Presbytery — icfused, because it was understood to be the business of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (through their Prudential Committee) to arrange the missiona- ries and churches in *,hc foreign field; and one from the Presbytery of New Castle, to secure the direct control of the ministers of the Church in missionary fields. The Committee suggested that the time had come when, in order to a more thorough development of the missionary spirit, the prayers of thefr memorialists, enumerated, demanded action. They asked not for any cessation of the co-operative principle in conducting the work, but simply for a closer connection with it, by means of Presbyteries, whenever numbers and circumstances will allow of such a course. The Assembly could not overlook the fact, that after many years of con- nection with the Foreign Missionary department of evangelical labor, they had at this time but one Presbyterian Church of our connection in the foreign field. There- fore, it was to be distinctly understood, both at home and aboad, that the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions interpose no obstacles in the waj- of the formation of foreign Presbyteries. That a special Committee, Rev. Albert Barnes, Chairman, attend the next meeting of the Board in Philadelphia, for the purpose of conveying to the Board the views of the Assembly. That candidates for the missionary work going out from the Church, give their attention to those fields where Presbyteries were or might be formed ; and that the Synod of New York and New Jersey be empowered to receive foreign Presbyteries whenever constitutionally requested to do so by foreign missionaries of the Church. State of Religion. — Reports had been received from but sixty-five Presbyteries, the prominent feature in which had been the great revival, whose results were visible in the elevated standard of piety in the churches, the more general training of the young, the increased disposition of laymen to pray and labor for the unconverted, the increase in prayer, the better observance of the Sabbath, and the increasing number of candidates for the ministry. Commendable efforts had been made for extinguishing church debts, and hearty support given to objects of benevolence. But 400 pastors and a little more than 600 stated supplies, in a church whose success depends largely on the permanence of its ministry, required no comment. The large number of vacant churches, and of ministers without charge, was a AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD. 669 lamentable and alarming fact. In a number of Presbyteries was manifested a lack of interest respecting infant baptism, while in many regions intemperance was on the increase. Still the Church was never in a more hopeful position, and never possessed more elements of strength. Miscellaneous. — A Committee was appointed to correspond further with the Free Presbyterian Synod relative to an organic union with the Assembly. M. L. P. Thompson, D.D., was appointed to represent the Assembly in the tri- cennary celebration of the introduction of Presbyterianism into Great Britain. The first Monday in January was recommended as a day of fasting and prayer, for the conversion of the world ; and the last Thursday in February as a day of concert of prayer for colleges and other institutions of learning.

" We have had opportunities of examining several works of similar character, including those of Gerard, Bonneville and Gordon Cumming, but this is certainly the most amusing and instructive book of its kind we remember to have read. Dr. Peters, its editor, holds a lively and graphic pen ; and the most startling of the strange incidents which he places in relief before us, bear the unmistakable impress of truth." From the New York Commercial Times. " We have all heard of Kit Carson, the intrepid guide of the far West, identified as he is with the struggles of its hardy settlers, the exploits of its trappers, the bero of innumerable adventures among the Indians. Tbe book will be a welcome guest to our friends in the country, who will be able to read it without the aid of their spectacles. We may also hint, for their particular intormation, that it embodies thrilling adventures and hair- breadth escapes enough for not less than a score of novels of the most exciting kind." From the New York Daily Times. " Kit Carson is a sort of mythical personage to tbe general public, by whom he is regarded as a kind of Leather Stocking; and no doubt some people suppose him to be altogether a fictitious creation. But Kit Carson, the mighty hunter of the Rocky Mountains, the Nestor, Nimrod, and Gordon Cumming of the West, is simply a very unobtrusive and quiet gentleman of middle age, residing in New Mexico, where he discharges the duties of Indian Agent for the Government. His perlormances with his rifle have been on a much grander scale than those recorded of any hunter of ancient or modern times. On horseback and on open prairies he is unquestionably the greatest hunter living." From the Philadelphia Bulletin. " Kit Carson is a national character, the representative of the pioneer and trapper, the successor of Boone. Iu the work before us, the reader who loves wild life in the West, which is yet literally true, may read his fill. It is a careful biography of Carson, and as such, will meet with vast popu- larity. It is handsomely printed with large type on fine paper, and copiously illustrated with excel- lent illustrations." From the Boston Traveller. 11 Kit Carson has already done things that show him to be not only a man of ten thousand, but al- most without a rival." From the New York Tribune. M The famous backwoodsman of the Rocky Mountains is here portrayed to the life from facts derived from personal testimony." From the Worcester (Mass.) Spy. " This volume, aside from the personal adventures of its subject, contains a vast amount of useful information concerning the almost unknown in which the adventures are located, of the wild tribes and strange animals that inhabit it, and of the productions and curiosities by which it is distinguished. ' ' From the Rochester Free Press. u It is well written, and portrays clearly and vividly, and in a soul-stirring manner, the thousand and one hair-breadth escapes, mountain achievements, and acts of hunter heroism of which the cele- brated Kit Carson has been the hero." From the Sentinel and Witness, Middletovm, Ct. M This is unquestionably one of the most readable and instructive works that has been issued from the press since Kane's Arctic Expedition." NOTICES OF THE PRESS (Continued). From the New York Herald. " One of the best worts of this class that we have ever met with is that which is now before us." From the Educational Herald. " A book that will make a sensation — exciting as any romance—true as any history. Its hero is a hero indeed — bold In adventure — matchless in courage — he was no less an explorer than a hunter— sometimes a warrior — sometimes a guide — in every capacity acquitting himself as a man.,y From the Rochester (N. T.) Democrat. 11 Christopher Carson, the subject of this memoir, stands conspicuous, and honorable in his promi- nence. By the side of Boone, who led the white man's way into Carson's native State, the Rocky Mountain trapper and guide will take hi;- place. His history and the account of his many strange ad- ventures forms one of the most attractive volumes of Biography extant." From the Knickerbocker Magazine. " It has been the lot of the famous Kit Carson to serve as the standard hero of many novels of American border and trapper life. At last we have, from authentic hands, and in great part from his own lips, the story of his life and adventures, which, as if to verify the stale adage that ' truth is stranger than ficiion,' surpasses by an pa^y stride the fictitious and wonder-vending tales which have preceded it. And this, too, although it is not difficult to discern upon almost any page a something unsaid, for the omission of which we can account, by remembering his modesty when speaking of his own performances." From the Independent Democrat (N. H.) " Whil^ the thrilling and fascinating interest of a whole library of fiction is condensed into this single vnlum°, the satisfaction of perusal is infinitely enhanced by the pleasing assurance that the experiences therein set down, were the real ones of a real living hero." From the St Louis (Mo.) Democrat. " It contains much valuable information." From the St. Louis (Mo.) Republican. " His sober habits, strict honor, noble courage, and great regard for truth, have endeared him to all who can call him friend, aid among such may be denominated some of the most distinguished men whose names are recorded on the pages of American History." From the St. Joseph (Mo.) Gazette. " It details praphically and minutely all the leading incidents and thri'hng adventures of that won- derful man, whose name has become so associated with peril, that its very mention brings a thrill of wonderment or apprehension." From the Nyack (N. Y.) City and Country " As a graphic and clear statement of the history and topography of the country where he has led his busy life, the book has high claims on our estimation." THE FAMILY MISCELLANY. A Monthly Magazine, designed to give to the Family Circle a class of reading, embracing— SKETCHES OF HISTORY, BIOGBAPHY, TRAVELS, •iiitiiins or ssiiisi in in j TALES, ANECDOTES, &c, For the amusement and instruction of the various members of the Family Circle. ■«»> ■+-+-*»» The "Work will be issued monthly, commencing January, 1860, and will contain 32 pages of original matter and choice selections, making at the end ot the year a volume of 384 pages.
