The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America. "When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have con- nected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the cau- ses which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, gov- ernments are instituted among men, deriving their just pow- ers from the consent of the governed ; that, whenever any fonn of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new gov- ernment, lapng its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dic- tate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, whHe evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long train 01 abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same ob- ject, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former svs- tons of governinent. The history of the present king of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usui-pations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyran- ny over these States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refused to assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 27 He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing- importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and, when so suspended, he has utterly neslected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the rieht of representation in the legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for op- posing, with manly firmness, his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused, for a long time after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, in- capable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise: the State remaining, in the meantime, ex- posed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and con- vulsions within. He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States ; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners ; refusing to pass others to encourage their migra- tion hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands. He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.. He has made judges dependent on his will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their sub- He has kept among us in times of peace, standing armies, without the consent of our legislature. He has affected to render the military independent of, and superior to the civil power. He has combined, with others, to subject us to a jurisdic- tion foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged^ by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation: For quai-tering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world: For imposing taxes on us without our consent: For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury: WASHINGTON CROSSING THE; DEI^AWARE. ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS 29 For transporting us beyond the seas to be tried for pre- tended offenses: For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neigfh- boring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government and enlarging its boundaries, so as to render it at once an ex- ample and tit instrument for introducing the same absolute iiilo into these colonies: For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valu- alie laws, and altering, fundamentally, the forms of our govern ments : For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring them- selves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases what- soever. He has abdicated government here by declaring us out of his protection, and waging war against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. He is at this time, transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun, with circumstances of cruelty and per- fidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages ,and total- ly unworthy the head of a civilized nation. He has constrained our fellow-citizens, taken captive on the high seas, to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall them- selves by their hands. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. In every stage of these oppressions, we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms; our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose chai^cter is thus marked by every act which may define a ty- rant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We warned them, from time, to time, of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emi- gration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them, by the ties of our common kindred, to disavow these usurpations, M'hich would inevitably inteniipt our connections and corres- pondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the neces- sity Avhich denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war in peace friends. We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in general Congress assembled, appealing to the Su- preme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions. 30 IN AMERICAN HISTORY. - '■ ^! do, in the name, and h\ the authority of the good people of these colonies, soleninh' publish and declare. That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the Brit- ish crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dis- solved; and that, as free and independent States, they have full power to levy, war, conclude peace, contract alliances, es- tablish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent States maj^ of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with the firm reliance on the protection of Di- vine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our foitunes, and our sacred honor. JOHN HANCOCK.

By Charies Marshall, CoOoneil, C. S. A. General Lee's order to the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Court House was written the day after the meet- ing at McLean's house, at which the terms of the surrender were agreed upon. That night the general sat with several of us at a fire in front of his tent, and after some conversation about the army, and the events of the day, in which his feel- 134 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS ings toward his men were strongly expresssed, he told me to prepare an order to the troops. The next day it was raining and many persons were coming and going, so that I was unable to write without inteiTuption until about 10 o'clock, when General Lee, finding that the order had not been prepared, directed me to get into his ambulance, which stood near his tent, and placed an orderly to prevent any one from approaching me. I sat in the ambulance until I had written the order, the first draft of which (in pencil) contained an entire paragraph that was omitted by General Lee's direction. He made one or two verbal changes, and then I made a copy of the order avS corrected, and gave it to one of the clerks in the adjutant- general s office to write in ink . I took the copy, when made by the clerk, to the general, who signed it, and other copies were then made for transmission to the corps commanders and the staff of the army. All these copies were signed by the general, and a good many persons sent other copies which they had made or procured, and obtained his signature. In this way many copies of the order had the general's name signed as if they were originals, some of which I have seen. The text of the order as issued was as follows: "Headquarters, Army of Northern Virginia, April 10th, 1865. After four years of arduous service, marked by unsurpassed courage and fortitude, the Anny of Northern Virginia has been compelled to yield to overwhelming numbers and resources. I need not tell the sui-\ivors of so many hard-fought battles, who have remained steadfast to the last, that I have consented to this result from no distrust in them, but, feeling that valor and devotion could accomplish nothing that could compensate for the loss that would have attended the continuation of the contest, I have determined to avoid the useless sacrifice of those whose past services have endeared them to their countrymen. "By the terms of the agreement, officers and men can return to their homes, and remain there until exchanged. You will take with you the satisfaction that proceeds from the con- sciousness of duty faithfully perfomied; and I earnestly pray that a merciful God will extend to you his blessing and pro- tection. "With an increasing admiration of your constancy and devo- tion to yx)ur eountiy, and a grateful remembrance of your kind and generous consideration of myself, I bid you an affectionate farewell. "R.

Very few, if any, of the local land forces, and none of the naval, are included in the tabular exhibit. If we take the 472,000 men in service at the beginning of 1864, and add there- to at least 250,000 deaths occurring prior to that date, it gives over 700,000. The discharges for disability and other causes and the desertions would probably inci-ease the number (in- clusive of the militia and naval forces) to over 1,000,000.

A synagogue was erected in 1763. A settlement was made in New York City in 1729; in Savannah, Ga., in 1733; in Charleston, S. C, m 1765; in Philadelphia, in 1782; m Baltimore, in 1823; in New Orleans, in 1823. Each congregation makes its own rules and elects its own minjster. The platform adopted at the national Kabbinical Convention of the Keformed Hebrew Church, held at Pittsburg, Penn., November 17 and 18, 1885: '•We hold that Judaism presents the highest con- ception of the God idea as taught in oar Holy Scrip- tures and developed and spiritualized l)y Jewish teach- ers. We maintain that Judaism preserved and de- fended amid continual struggles and trials this God idea as the central religious truth for the human race. "We recognize in the Bible the record of the consecra- tion of the Jewish people to its mission as priest of the one God, and value it as the most potent instrument of religious and moral instruction. We hold tliat the modern discoveries of scientific researches in the do- 180 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS mains of nature and history are not antagonistic to the doctrines of Judaism, the Bible reflecting the primitive ideas of its own age, and at times clothing its conception of divine providence and justice dealing with man in miraculous narratives. "We recognize in the Mosaic legislation a system of training the Jewish people for its mission during its nat- ural life in Palestine, and today we accept as binding only the moral laws, and maintain only such ceremon.es as elevate and sanctify our lives, but reject all such as are not adapted to the views and habits of modern civili- zation. "We hold that all such Mosaic and Eabbinical laws as regulate diet, priestly purity, and dress originated in ages and under the influence of ideas altogether foreign to our present mental and spiritual state^ They fail to impress the modern Jew with a spirit of priestly holi- ness; their observance in our days is apt rather to ob- struct than to further modern spiritual elevation. "We consider ourselves no longer a nation, but a re- ligious community, and therefore expect neither a re- turn to Palestine nor a sacrificial worship under the sons of Aaron, nor the restoration of any of the laws concern- ing the Jewish State. "Christianity and Islam being daughter religions of Judaism, we appreciate their providential mission to and in the spreading of monotheistic and moral truth. We acknowledge that the spirit of broad humanity of our age is our ally and the fulfilment of our mission, and therefore we extend the hand of fellowship to all who operate with us in the establishment of the reign of truth and righteousness among men. "We reassert the doctrines of Judaism that the soul of man is immortal. We reject, as ideas not rooted in Judaism, the beliefs both in bodily resurrection and in gehenna and Eden (hell and Paradise) as abodes for everlasting punishm.cnt or reward." IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 181 EOMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. In 1521, Vasquez de Ayllon commenced a settlement on a river flowing into Chesapeake Bay, and buiii the first Catholic church on American soil. The com- mander soon died and the settlement abandoned. In 1595 the Spaniards founded Santa Fe.New Mexico. The Catholic worship was established, and has contin- ued to the present time. In 1565 a chapel was erected in St. Augustine, Florida. In 1571 there were Catholic chapels at St. Helena, on Port Eojal Sound and on the banks of the Rappahanock River. Catholic worship was celebrated beneath temporary structures at Boone Island and Mount Desert in Maine, early in the seven- teenth century. November 6, 1789, Dr. Carroll appointed Bishop of Baltimore, and his diocese embraced the whole of the United States. The Doctrinal Code of the Church. The formulary of faith is the creed of Pius IV., issued after the Council of Trent, with some additions after that of the Vatican. If is as follows: "I, A. B., with a firm faith believe and profess all and every one of those things which are contained in that creed, which the holy Roman Church maketh use of.^' Then follows the Nicene creed : "I most steadfastly admit and embrace apostolical and ecclesiastical traditions, and all other observances and constitutions of the same Church. "I also admit the holy Scriptures, 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 and interpretation of the Scriptures; neither will I ever take and interpret them otherwise than according to the unanimous consent of the fathers. "I 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, confir- 182 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS mation, the eucharist, penance, extreme unction, holy orders, and matrimonj; and that they confer grace; and that of these, ba]3tism, confirmation, and orders cannot be reiterated without sacrilege. I also receive and ad- mit the received and approved ceremonies of the Catho- lic Church, used in the solemn administration of 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 jus- tification. "I profess, likewise that in the mass there is offered to God a true, proper, and propitiatory sacrifice for the living and the dead; and that in the most holy sacra- ment of the eucharist there is truly, really, and substan- tially the body and blood, together with the soul and di- vinity, of our Lord Jesus Christ; and that there is made a conversion of the whole substance of the bread into the body, and of the v\^hole substance of the wine into the blood, which conversion the Catholic Church calls trans- substantiation. I also confess that under each kind Christ is whole and entire, and a true sacrament is re- ceived. "1 firmly 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 with j^hrist are to be honored and invocated, and they offer up prayers to God for us; and that their relics ought to be ven- erated. "I most firmly assert that the images of Christ, of the Mother of God, and also of the saints, ought to be had and retained, and that due honor and veneration are to be given them. "I also affirm that the power of indulgences was left by Christ to 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, IN AMERICAN HISTORY. ' 183 and I promise true obedience to the Bishop of Eome, successor to St. Peter, prince of the apostles and vicar of Jesus Christ on earth. "I also 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 delivered, defined and de- clared by the General Council of the Vatican ; especially concerning the Primacy of the Eoman Pontiff and his infallible teaching authority; and I also condemn, reject, and anathematize all things contrary thereto, and all heresies whatsoever condemned, rejected and anathe- matized by the Church. ^'This True Catholic Faith, out of which none can be sflved, I now truly profess and truly hold. And I, A. B., promise to hold and profess the same whole and en- tire, w^ith God's assistance, to the end of my life. Auien." EPISCOPAL CHURCH. The Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States is a daughter of the Church of England. THE THIETY-NINE ARTICLES. L— Of Faith in the Holy Trinity. There is but one living and true God, everlasting, without bod}^, parts, or passions; of infiinite power, wisdom, and goodness; 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. II.— 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 na- ture in the womb of the Blessed Virgin, of her sub- stance; so that two whole and perfect natures-^— that is to say, the Godhead and Manhood — were joined to- gether in one Person, never to be divided; whereof is 184 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS one Christ very God and very Man; who truly suffered, was crucified, 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. III.— Of the Going Down of Christ Into Hell. As Christ died for us, and was buried, so also it is to be believed, that he went down into Hell. IV. — Of tne Eesurrection 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 ascend- ed into Heaven, and there sitteth, until he return to judge all men at the last day. v.— Of the 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. VI. — Of the 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 believed as an article of 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 Xew Testament of whose authority was never any doubt in the Church. Of the Names and Numbers of the Canonical Books. Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, 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 Esther, The Book of Job, The Psalms, the Proverbs, Ecclesiastes or Preacher, Cantica, or Songs of Solomon, Four Pro- phets the greater, Twelve Prophets the less. And the other Books, as Hierome saith, the Church IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 185 doth read for example of life and instruction of man- ners, but yet doth it 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 Esther, 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 com- monly received, we do receive, and account them Canonical. VII.— Of the Old Testament. The Old Testament is not contrary to the New; for both in the New and Old 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. Al- though the Law given from God to 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 Chris- tian man whatsoever is free from the obedience of the Commandments which are called moral. VIII.— Of the Three Creeds. The three Creeds, Nicene Creed, Athanasius's 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. • IX.— 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 186 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS 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 infection of nature doth re- main — yea, in them that are regenerated; whereby the lust of flesh, called in Greek phronema sarkos, which some do expound the wisdom, some sensuality, some the affection, some the desire of the flesh, is not subject to the Law of God. And although there is no condemna- tion for them that believe and are baptised, yet the Apostle doth confess that concupiscence and lust hath of itself the nature of sin. X.— Of Free Will. The condition of man after the fall of Adam is such, that he cannot turn and prepare himself, by his own natural strength and good works, to faith and calling upon God: Wherefore we have no power to do good works, pleasant and acceptable to God, without the grace of God, by Christ, preventing us, that we may have a good will, and working with us, when we have that good will. XI.— 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 ordeservings. Wherefore, that we are justified by faith only, is a most wholesome doc- trine, and very full of comfort: as more largely is ex- pressed in the Homily of Justification. XII.— Of Good Works. Albeit that good works, which are the fruits of faitli, and follow after justification, cannot put away our sine, 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; insr- much that by them a lively faith may be as evidently known, as a tree discerned by the fruit. TN AMERICAN HISTORY. 187 XIII. — Of Works Before Justification. "Works done before the grace of Christ, and the in- si^iration of the Spirit, are not pleasant to God, foras- much 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 thev have the nature of sin. Xiy. — Of Works of Supererogation. Voluntary works besides, over and above God's Commandments, which they call works of supererorga- tion, 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 hatli done all that are commanded to you, say. We are unpro- fitable servants. XY.— Of Christ Alone Without Sin. Christ, in the truth of our nature, was made like un- to 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 the Lamb without spot, who, by sacrifice 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 baptised and born again in Christ, yet of- fend in many things; and, if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. XYI.— Of Sin After Baptism. Xot every deadly sin, willingly committed after Bap- tism, 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 re- ceived the Holy Ghost, we may depart from grace given, and fall into sin; and by the grace of God we ma_y rise again, and amend our lives. And therefore they are to 188 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS be condemned^ which say, they can no more sin as long as they live here, or deny the place of forgiveness to snch as truly repent. XVII.— 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 be endued 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 un- speakable comfort to godly persons, and such as feel in themselves the working of the Spirit of Christ, morti- fying the works of the flesh and their earthly members, and drawing up their minds to high and heavenly things; as well because it doth greatly establish and con- firm 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 wretchlessness of most unclean living, no less perilous than desperation. Furthermore, we must receive God's promises in such wise as they be generally set forth to us in Holy Scrip- ture; And in our doings, that will if God is to be fol- lowed, which we have expressly declared unto us in the word of God. IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 189 XVIII.— Of Obtaining Eternal Salvation Only by the Name of Christ. They also are to had accursed, that presume to say, that every man shall be saved by the law or sect which he professeth, so that he be diligent to frame his life ac- cording to that law, and the light of nature. For Holy Scripture doth set out unto us only the name of Jesus Christ, whereby men must be saved. XIX.— Of the Church. The visible Church of Christ is a Congregation of faithful men, in the which the true word of God is preached, and the Sacraments be duly ministered ac- cording to Christ's ordinance, in all those things that of necessity are requisite to the same. As the Church of Jerusalem, Alexandria, and Antioch, have erred, so also the Church of Rome hath erred, not only in their living and manner of ceremonies, but also in matters of faith. XX.— Of the Authority of the Church. The Church hath power to decree Rites or Ceremonies and authority in controversies of faith; and yet it is not lawful for the Church to ordain anything that is con- trary to God's Word written ; neither may it so expound one place of Scripture, that it be repugnant to another. Wherefore, although the Church be a witness and a keeper of Holy Writ, yet as it ought, not to decree any thing against the same, so besides the same ought it not to enforce anything to be believed for necessity of sal- vation. XXI. — Of the Authority of General Councils. General Councils may not be gathered together with- out the commandment and will of Princes; and when they be gathered together — forasmuch as they be an as- sembly of men, whereof all be not governed with the Spirit and Word of God — they may err, and sometimes have erred, even in things pertaining unto God. Where- fore, things ordained by them as necessary to salvation have neither strength nor authority, unless it may be 190 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS declared that they be taken out of Holy Scripture. XXII.— Of Purgatory. The Eomish doctrine concerning Purgatory, Pardons, Worshipping, and Adoration, as well of Images as of Eeliques, and also Invocation of Saints, is a fond thing, vainly invented, and grounded ujwn no warranty of Scripture, but rather repugnant to the Word of God. XXIII. — Of Ministering in the Congregation. It is not lawful for any man to take upon him the office of public preaching or ministering the Sacraments in the Congregation, before he be lawfully called and sent to execute the same. And those we ought to judge lawfully called and sent, which be chosen and called to this work by men who have public authority given unto them in the Congregation, to call and send ministers into the Lord's vineyard. XXI"V .-^Of Speaking in the Congregation in Such a Tongue as the People Understandeth. It is a thing plainly repugnant to the Word of God, and the custom of the primitive Church, to have public prayer in the Church, or to minister the Sacraments, in a tongue not understanded of the people. XXY.— Of the Sacraments. Sacraments ordained of Christ, be not only badges or tokens of Christian men's profession ; but rather they be certain sure witnesses, and effectual signs of grace, and God's good-will towards us, by the which he doth work invisibly in us, and doth not only quicken, but also strengthen and confirm our faith in him. There are two Sacraments ordained of Christ of Lord in the Gospel, that is to say, Baptism, and the Supper of the Lord. Those five, commonly called Sacraments, that is to say. Confirmation, Penance, Orders, Matrimony,, and Extreme Unction, are not to be counted for Sacraments of the Gospel, being such as have grown partly of the corrupt following of the Apostles, partly are states of IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 191 life allowed in the Scriptures; but 3'et have not like na- ture of Sacraments with Baptism and the Lord's Supper, for that they have not any visible sign or ceremony or- dained of God. The Sacraments were not ordained of Christ to be gazed upon, or to be carried about, but that we should duly use them. And in such only as worthily receive the same, they havea wholesome effect or operation; but they that receive them unworthily, purchase to themselves damnation, as St. Paul saith. XXVI. — Of the Unworthiness of the Ministers, AYhich Hinders Xot the Effect of the Sacraments. Although in the visible Church the evil be ever mingled with the good, and sometimes the evil have chief authority in the ministration of the Word and Sacraments; 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 the receiving of 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. Xevertheless, 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 judg- ment be deposed. XXVII.— 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 Ee- generation, or Xew Birth; whereby, as by an instru- ment, 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 192 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS 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. XXVIII.— Of the Lord's Supper. 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 Redemp- tion by Christ's death ; insomuch that to such as rightly, worthily, and with faith, receive the same, the bread which we 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 Supper of the Lord — cannot be proved by Holy Writ; but is repugnant to the plain words of Scripture, overthroweth the nature of a Sacra- ment, 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, carried about, lifted up, or worshipped. XXIX.— Of the Wicked Which Eat Not the Body of Christ in the Use of the Lord's Supper. The wicked, and such as be void of a lively faith, al- though 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. XXX.— Of Both Kinds. The Cup of the Lord is not to be denied to the Lay- people; for both the parts of the Lord's Sacrament, by IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 193 Chrisf s ordinance and commandment, ought to be ad- ministered to all Christian men alike. XXXI.—Of the One Oblation of Christ Finished Upon the Cross. The offering of Christ once made, is that perfect Ee- demption, 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. Where- fore the sacrifices of Masses, in the which it was com- monly 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. XXXII.— Of the Marriage of Priests. Bishops, Priests, and Deacons, are not commanded by God's Law, either to vow the estate of single life, or to abstain from marriage : 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. XXXIII. — Of Excommunicated Persons, How They Are to Be 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 faithful, as an heathen or Publican, until he be openly reconciled by penance, and received into t^e Church by a Judge that hath authority there- unto. XXXIV.— 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 diverse, and may be changed according to the diversity of Countries, Times, and Men's Manners, so that nothing be ordained against God's Word. Whoso- ever,through his private judgment, willingly and purpose ly doth openly break the traditions and ceremonies of the Church, which be not repugnant to the Word of God, 194 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS and be ordained and approved by common authority, ought to be rebuked openly — that others may fear to do the like — as he that oifendeth against the common order of the Church, and hurteth the authority of the Magis- trate, and woundeth the consciences of the weak brethren. Every particular or national Church hath authority to ordain, change, and abolish ceremonies or rites of the Church, ordained only by man's authority, so that all things be done to edifying. XXXV.— Of Homilies. The Second Book o^ Homilies,the several titles where- of we have joined under this article, doth contain a Godly and wholesome doctrine, and necessary for 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 Xames of the Homilies. 1. Of the right Use of the Church. 2. Against Peril of Idolatry. 3. Of Eepairing 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 Prayer and Sacraments Ought to be administered 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 of Christ. 15. Of the worthy Receiving of the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ. 16. Of the Gifts of the Holy Ghost. IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 195 17. For the Rogation Days. 18. Of the State of Matrimony. 19. Of Eepentance. 20. Against Idleness. 21. Against Eebellion. XXXVI. — Of Consecration of Bishops and Ministers. The book of Consecration of Archbishops and Bisliops and Ordering of Priests and Deacons, lately set forth in the time of Edward the Sixth, and confirmed at the same time by authority of Parliament, doth contain all things necessary to such consecration and ordering; neither hath it any thing that of itself is superstitious and ungodly. And therefore, whosoever are conse- crated or ordered according to the rites of that book since the second year of the fore-named King Edward, unto this time, or hereafter shall be consecrated or or- dered according to the same rites, we decree all such to be rightly, orderly, and lawfully consecrated and ordered. XXXVII.— Of the Civil Magistrates. The King^s Majesty hath the chief power in this realm of England and other his dominions, unto whom the chief government of all estates of this Realm, whether they be ecclesiastical or civil, in all causes doth appertain and is not, nor ought to be, subject to any foreign juris- diction. Where we attribute to the King's Majesty the chief government, by which titles we understand the minds of some' slanderous folks to be offended, We give not to our Prince the ministering either of God's Word or of the Sacraments, the which thing the Injunctions also, lately set by Elizabeth, our Queen, do most plainly testify; but that only prerogative which we see to have been given always to all godly Princes in Holy Scriptures by God Himself ; that is, that they should rule all estates and de- grees committed to their charge by God, whether they be ecclesiastical or temporal, and restrain with the civil sword the stubborn and evil doers. 196 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS The Bishop of Eome hath no jurisdiction in this Realm of England. The laws of the Eealm may punish Christian men with death for heinous and grievous offences. It is lawful for Christian men at the commandment of the Magistrate, to wear weapons and serve in the wars. XXXVIII.— Of Christian Men's Goods, Which Are Not 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, liber- ally to give alms to the poor, according to his ability. XXXIX.— Of a Christian Man's Oath. As we confess that vain and rash swearing is forbid- den 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 Magis- trate requireth, in a cause of faith and charity; so it be done, according to the Prophet's teaching, in justice, judgment and truth. THE REFORMED EPISCOPAL CHURCH. • Organized in New York City, December 2, 1873. Declaration of Principles. I. The Reformed Episcopal Church, holding "the faith once delivered unto the saints," declares its belief in the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as the Word of God, and the sole Rule of Faith and Practice; in the Creed, "commonly called the Apostles' Creed;" in the Divine institution of the Sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper; and in the doctrines of grace substantially as they are set forth in the Thirty- nine Articles of Religion. II. This Church recognizes and adheres to Episco- pacy, not as of divine right, but as a very ancient and desirable form of church polity. IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 197 III. This Church, retaining a Liturgy which shall not be imperative or repressive of freedom in praj^er, ac- cepts the Book of Common Prayer, as it was revised, proposed, and recommended for use by the General Con- vention of the Protestant Episcopal Chitrch, A. D. 1785, reserving full liberty to alter, abridge, enlarge, and amend the same, as may seem most conducive to the edification of the people, ^^provided that the substance of the faith be kept entire." IV. — This Church condemns and rejects the follow- ing erroneous and strange doctrines, as contrary to God's Word: First, That the Church of Christ exists only in one order or form of ecclesiastical polity. Second, That Christian ministers are "priests'' in another sense than that in which all believers are "a royal priesthood." Third, That the Lord's Table is an altar on which the oblation of the Body, and Blood of Christ is offered anew to the Father. Fourth, That the presence of Christ in the Lord's Supper is a presence in the elements of Bread and Wine. Fifth,That Eegeneration is inseparably connected with Baptism. THE PEESBYTEEIAN CHURCH INTHEUMTED STATES. The Presbyterian Church in the United States is commonly regarded as the offspring of the Kirk of Scot- land, although it has spread from three centres; for it was established by the Dutch in New York, by the Scotch-Irish in Virginia and New Jersey, and by the Huguenots in Carolina. The first Dutch church was organized in New Amsterdam in 1619; Scotch-Irish Presbyterians settled on the Elizabeth River, Va., be- tween 1670 and 1680, and a church was organized at Snow Hill,Md.,in 1684; the Huguenots were driven from France in 1685, and they began founding churches in this country shortly after that date. I 98 OXE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS The Scriptures of the Old and Xew Testa- ments shall be acknowledged to be the inspired Word of G-od and the only infallible rule of faith and practice; the Confession of Faith shall continue to be sin cerely received and adopted as containing the system of doctrine taught in the Holy Scriptures ; and the govern- ment and discipline of the Presbyterian Church in the United States shall be approved as containing the princi pies and rules of our polity." THE CUMBEELAND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. Organized in Kentucky in 1810. The Confession of Faith and Catechism are a modi- fication of the Westminster Confession, and contain sub- stantially the following doctrines: that the Scriptures are the only infallible rule of faith and practice; that God is an infinite, eternal, and unchangeable spirit, ex- isting mysteriously in three persons, the three being equal in power and glory; that God is the Creator and Preserver of all things; that the decrees of God extend only to what is for his glory ; that he has not decreed the existence of sin, because it is neither for his glory nor the good of his creatures; that man was created upright, in the image of God, but that by the transgression of the federal head, he has become totally depraved, so much so that he can do no good thing without the aid of divine grace; that Jesus Christ is the mediator between God and man; that he is both God and man in one person; that he obeyed the law perfectly, and died on the cross to make satisfaction for sin; that, in the expressive lan- guage of the apostle, he tasted death for every man; that the Holy Spirit is the efficient agent in our convic- tion, regeneration, and sanctification ; that repentance and faith are necessary in order to acceptance, and that both are inseparable from a change of heart; that justi- fication is by faith alone; that sanctification is a pro- gressive work, and not completed till death; that those who believe in Christ, and are regenerated by his Spirit, will never fall away and be lost; that there will l»e IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 199 a general resurrection and judgment, and that the right- eous will be received to everlasting happiness, and the wicked consigned to everlasting misery. . THE UNITED PEESBYTERIAN CHURCH. The United Presbyterian Church was formed in Pitts- burg, Pa., May 26, 1858, by a union of the Associate and Associate Reformed Churches of Xorth America. These churches claimed as their common parent the Church of Scotland, and were substantially one in doctrine, wor- ship, and church government. Of the "Testimony of the United Presbyterian Church," we give the following as the substance : Article 1. The Scriptures are in every part the in- spired Word of God, both in language and in sentiment, and are the only rule of faith and practice. Article 2. Jesus Christ is Supreme God, being one in essence with the Father, and also the Son of God in respect of his natural, necessary, and eternal relation to the Father. x\rticle 3. God created man in a state of perfect holiness and with perfect ability to obey him, and en- tered into a covenant with him, in which covenant Adam was the representative of all his natural posterity, so that in him they were to stand or fall as he stood or fell. Article 4. Our first parents, by breach of covenant with God, subjected themselves to his eternal wrath and brought themselves into a state of depravity wholly in- clined to sin, and unable, of themselves, to perform a single act of acceptable obedience to God; that their posterity are born in the same state of guilt, depravity, and inability, and so will continue until delivered there- from by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Article 5. That Jesus Christ, by appointment of the Father and by his owm voluntary act, placed himself in the room of a definite number who w^ere chosen in him before the foundation of the world; so that he was their proper and legal surety, and, as such, in their behalf, 200 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS satisfied the justice of God and answered all the demands which Ihe law had against them, and thereby infallibly obtained for them eternal redemption. Article 6. That in justification there is an imputa- tion to the believer of that righteousness, or satisfaction and obedience, which the Lord Jesus Christ, as surety of his people, rendered to the law; and it is only on the ground of this imputed righteousness that his sins are pardoned or his person accepted of God. Article 7. That the gospel in its strict and proper sense, as distinguished from the law, is a revelation of grace to sinners as such; and that it contains a free and unconditional offer and grant of salvation through Christ to all who hear it, whatever may be their char- acter or condition. Article 8. That saving faith is not merely an assent of the mind to the proposition that Jesus Christ is the Saviour of sinners; but also a cordial reception and ap- propriation of him by the sinner as his Saviour, with an accompanying persuasion or assurance corresponding to the degree or strength of his faith that he shall be saved by him. Article 9. That repentance is one of the fruits of a justifying faith, and, of course, cannot be regarded as a ground of the sinner's pardon, or as necessar}^ to qualify him for coming to Christ. Article 10. That although the moral law is of per- petual obligation, and ever binds the believer as a rule of life, yet as a covenant, he is, by his justification through Christ, completely and forever set free from it, and, con- sequently, is not required to yield obedience to it as a condition of life and salvation. Article 11. That the Holy Spirit accompanying the word so acts upon the soul as to quicken, regenerate and sanctify it; and that without its direct operation the soul would have no ability to perceive in a saving man- ner the truth of God's Word or yield to the motives which it presents. Article 12. That Jesus Christ has. a two-fold do- IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 201 minion besides that which belongs to Him as God. These are over the Church, of which He is the living Head and Lawgiver, and over all created persons and things. Article 13. That the law of God is supreme in its authority and obligations, and where commands of Church and State conflict we are to obey God rather than man. Article 14. That slaveholding is a violation of the law of God and contrary to the letter and spirit of Christianity. Article 15. That all associations which impose an oath of secrecy or an obligation to obey a code of un- known laws, are inconsistent with the genius and spirit of Christianity, and church members ought not to have fellowship with them. Article 16. That the Church should not extend com- munion in sealing ordinances to those who refuse adher- ence to her profession or subjection to her government and discipline, or who refuse to forsake a communion which is inconsistent with the profession she makes; nor should communion in any ordinance of worship be held under such circumstances as would be inconsistent with the keeping of these ordinances pure and entire, or so as to give countenance to any corruption of the doctrines and institutions of Christ. Article 17. That public social covenanting is a moral duty, not at stated times, but upon extraordinary occasions, in times of danger to the Church, in times of exposure to backsliding, and in times of reformation. Such covenant transactions bind posterity faithfully to adhere to and prosecute the object for which they were entered into. Article 18. That it is the will of God that the songs contained in the Book of Psalms be sung in His worship, both public and private, to the end of the world ; and in singing God's praise these songs should be employed to the exclusion of the devotional compositions of unin- spired men. 202 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHUECH IN THE UNITED STATES. Founded by John Wesley about 1737. First church dedicated at New York, October 30, 1768. The Articles of Eeligion. Its doctrines are embraced in twenty-five "Articles of Eeligion" declaring: 1. Faith in the Holy Trinity. 2. That the Word or Son of God was made very man, possessing two whole or perfect natures whereof is one Christ very God and very man. 3. A belief in the resurrection of Christ. 4. The Divinity of the Holy Ghost. 5. The sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures, as con- taining all things necessary to salvation. 6. Obedience to the commandments of the Old Tes- tament to be required. 7. A belief in original sin as attaching to the na- ture of every man. 8. A belief in the free moral agency of man. 9. A belief in the doctrine of justification through faith in Christ. 10." Good works to be pleasing and acceptable to God, though not a ground of justification. 11. The utter absence of power to perform works of supererogation. 12. The possibility of sin after justification. 13. The true Church of Christ is declared to be a congregation of faithful men in which the pure word of God is preached and the sacraments duly administered. 14. Declares purgatory, worshipping and adoration of images and saints as repugnant to the Word of .God. 15. Eequires all speaking in the Congregation to be in such tongue as the people understand. 16. Declares the sacraments to be signs of grace, and recognizes two only as Divinely established. IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 203 17. Declares Baptism to be a sign of regeneration as well as of profession of faith. 18. The Lord's Supper — a sacrament of our re- demption by Christ — disclaims all proof of transubstantiation. 19. Both the wine and the bread should be received by the laity. 20. The perfect oblation of Christ, finished upon the cross. 31. Declares it lawful for ministers to marry at their discretion. 22. Allows of freedom in its rites and ceremonies. 23. Eequires respect for rulers of the United States and allegiance to all their authority and laws. 24. The riches and goods of Christian men are not common property; requires liberality in alms- giving. 25. Allows of judicial oath-taking. THE METHODIST PEOTESTANT CHURCH. Organized in Baltimore^ iN'ovember, 1830. The Eev. Francis Waters, D. D., was elected president. The oflice of bishop was not recognized, and the presi- dents of the General Conferences were to be chosen by ballot. The basis on which the government was founded embraced two very important particulars : First, "The Lord Jesus Christ is the only Head of the Church, and the word of God is the sufficient rule of faith and practice, in all things pertaining to godliness." Second, "A written constitution establishing the form of govern- ment, and securing to the ministers and members of •:he church their rights and privileges, on an equitable plan of representation, is essential to, and the best safeguard of, Christian liberty." THE WESLEYAN METHODIST CHURCH. Organized at Utica, N". Y., in 1843. The elementary principles of the denomination are: 1. A Christian church is a society of believers in 204 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS 'Jesus Christ assembled in any one place for religious worship, and is of divine institution. 2. Christ is the only Head of the Church; and the Word of God the only rule of faith and conduct. 3. No person who loves the Lord Jesus Christ and obeys the gospel of God our Saviour, ought to be de- prived of church membership. 4. Every man has an inalienable right to private judgment in matters of religion, and an equal right to express his opinion in any way which will not violate the laws of God or the rights of his fellow-men. 5. Church trials should be conducted on gospel principles only; and no minister or member should be excommunicated except for immorality, the propagation of unchristian doctrines, or for the neglect of duties en- joined by the Word of God. 6. The pastoral or ministerial office and duties are of divine appointment, and all elders in the Church of God are equal; but ministers are forbidden to lord it over God^s heritage, or to have dominion over the faith of the saints. 7. The church has a right to form and enforce such rules and regulations only as are in accordance with the Holy Scriptures, and may be necessary, or have a tendency, to carry into effect the great system of prac- tical Christianity. 8. Whatever power may be necessary to the forma- tion of rules and regulations is inherent in the ministers and members of the church; but so much of that power may be delegated, from time to time, upon a plan of representation as they may judge necessary and proper. 9. It is the duty of all ministers and members of the church to maintain godliness and to oppose all moral evil. 10. It is obligatory on ministers of the Gospel to be faithful in the discharge of their pastoral and ministerial duties; and it is also obligatory on the members to es- teem ministers highly for their work's sake, and to render them a righteous compensation for their labors. IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 205 THE EYAIsTGELICAL ASSOCIATION OR GER- MAN METHODIST. Founded by Jacob Albright about 1800 in the State of Pennsylvania. Their Articles of Faith conform closely to those of the Methodist Episcopal. THE COLORED METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN AMERICA. This denomination is an outgrowth of the M. E. Church (South) and was organized at Jackson, Tenn., December 16, 1870. Articles of Faith same as the M. E. Church. THE AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. This denomination was organized by colored members of the M. E. Church in Philadelphia in 1816. Articles of Faith same as Methodist Episcopal Church. THE ZION AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. This church originated in a withdrawal of colored people from the M. E. churches in New York City in 1819. Articles of Faith nearly the same as the Metho- dist Episcopal. BAPTIST CHURCH. The first Baptist Church in the United States was founded by Roger AVilliam in 1639 at Providence, Rhode Island. There is much Baptists hold in common with all Evangelical Christians. They believe in the Divine authenticity and credibility of the Bible, accepting all its books as inspired. They believe in the Trinity, in man's creation in holiness, in his fall through trans- gression, and the consequent sinfulness of the whole 2o6 IN AMERICAN HISTORY. human race; in man's guilt and condemnation, and tlie consequent impossibility of justification "by deeds of the law." They believe in what is termed "vicarious atone- ment." That Christ paid the penalty due our sins, and that we can be justified only by faith in his word. That "we are saved from wrath through him." They believe in the necessity of regeneration, and that this is effected by the Holy Spirit. In a word, in those respects in which they agree with the great body of Evangelical Christians, they are Calvinists, especially holding in common with, the great Presbyterian family the doctrine of election to eternal life in Jesus Christ. They differ from others in holding that no person is, on any pretence or for any reason, to be admitted into membership in the visible church until he or she has professed regeneration. Until this is claimed and satis- factory evidence given, they will not administer the or- dinance of baptism. Hence they oppose infant baptism, regarding baptism in the name of the Trinity as the "outward sign of an inward and invisible work." Con- sequently, they stoutly oppose everything savoring of "Baptismal Regeneration" believing a man must be re- generated and give evidence of saving faith before being baptised; and they say baptism must be the voluntary act of a qualified agent. They do not ask an applicant for membership to subscribe to a creed or to commit a catechism. They rely on the Holy Spirit, by means of the written word, guiding him into all truth, while caus- ing him to grow in grace. They hold the Church of Christ to be a spiritual temple, "built up of lively stones." Hence, they have always protested against all alliances of Church and State, believing that Christ's kingdom is not of this world. Their churches 'are all independent of each other, each member, whether man or woman, black or white, having the same privileges as any other member. They deny the right of conference, or synod, or bishops, or any other ecclesiastical body to legislate for His churches ; nor have they «^ny creed binding all to subscribe to it. The Bible is pre-emin- IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 207 ently their onl}^ creed. They contend for but one order in the ministry, that of ordained pastors. They have deacons, but their functions are not spiritual, they are temporal and secular, or at most assistants of the pastor in attending to details, as the care of ihe poor of the church, the pastor^s salary, and the communion service, providing the bread and wine, and distributing at the table. The pastor presides in the examination of candi- dates for membership, but such examination takes placj; in the presence of the entire membership, and any mem- ber is at liberty to ask any appropriate question of the candidate respecting what is termed his "Christian ex- perience," and views of Bible doctrine. The admission is by vote of the entire membership, the majority decid- ing. They regard the ordinances as but two, Baptism and the Lord's Supper, holding the former to symbolize regeneration and the new life of faith in Christ, and the latter our dependence on Christ for spiritual life. FEEEWILL BAPTIST CHURCH. Organized June 30^ 1780, at New Durham, N. H. • Their doctrine is the same as other Baptists in regard to baptism and the question of church government. They deny personal, unconditional election to eternal life in Christ, in consequence of an eternal decree. They practice what is known as "open communion," and do not regard immersion as essential to communion, neither do they regard baptism as a Scriptural prerequisite to the Lord's table. THE CHURCH OF CHRIST. Organized September 7, 1810, at Brush Run, Wash- ington county, Penn., by Rev. Thomas Campbell, and other seceders from the Presbyterian church. Their doctrine is similar to that of the Baptists. They differ in some respects, as they do not require sub- mission to a creed as a condition to membership. THE MENNONITES. These Christians are a branch of the Baptist Church, 2o8 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS and derive their name from Menno Simons, who was formerly a Roman Catholic priest, June 24, 1535, they settled in the Netherlands and North Germany. They rejected infant baptism and did not immerse. In 1683 and 1698 large numbers came to Pennsylvania and in 1735 there were 500 families in Lancaster County, Perm. THE CHUECH OF GOD OR WINEBRENNERIANS. This denomination sprang from the German Re- formed Church, and was founded by Rev. John Wine- brenner at Harrisburg, Penn., in 1830. They agree with the Baptists in regard to Baptism, but in other re- spects their doctrine is nearly the same as the Methodists. SEVENTH-DAY BAPTISTS. In 1665 Stephen Mumford, a Seventh-Day Baptist, came from England to Newport, R. I. The first Seventh- Day Baptist church in America was founded in 1681. They differ from the regular Baptists by observing the seventh instead of the first day of the week. LIBERAL BAPTISTS OF AMERICA. A convention was held in Minneapolis, Minn., October 2, 1883, and the following report was adopted declaring that the several associations of churches of Jesus Christ in America, who held the evangelical faith, practicingbe- lievers^ baptism, and excluding no recognized Christian from the Lord's table, are one by the strongest ties, that of a common faith and spirit, unity of purpose, mutual respect, and paternal love, and hence should be one in formal fellowship and methods of co-operation. Meas- ures were projected for hastening the union of all these believers. THE LUTHERAN CHURCH. First church established in the United States was by the Swedes about the year 1636 on the banks of the Delaware river. The following are the leading doctrinal points in the Confession : IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 209 1. 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. 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, constitute one Christ, who is true God and man. 3. 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 toward him, but with sinful propensities. 4. 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 de- fends them against the devil and the power of sin. 5. That men cannot be justified before God by their own strength, merit, or works; but that they are justi- fied gratuitously, for Christ's sake, through faith. 6. That this faith must bring forth good fruits ; and that it is our duty to perform those good works which God commands, because he has enjoined them, and not in the expectation of thereby meriting justification be- fore him. 7. 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 2IO ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS accoimt of any merit in us, justifies those who believe in Christ. 8. 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. THE REFOEMED CHURCH IN AMERICA. This is the title that has been chosen by the American descendants of the Reformed Protestant Church of Hol- land. The first church established in the United States was about the year 1623. In government the church is strictly Presbyterian. The doctrines of the Church are those handed down by the Reformers, and are shared in common with all branches of the Reformed Churches. The Church re- ceives as its creed the Confession of Faith, as revised in the national Synod of the Council of Dort, 1618-1619, consisting of thirty-seven articles; with the Heidleberg Catechism; the Compendium of the Christian religion; the Canons of the Council of Dort on the famous five points: Predestination, Definite atonement of Christ, Man^s entire corruption and helplessness, His conversion by God's grace alone, and Perseverance of the Saints in grace. THE REFORMED CHURCH IN THE UNITED STATES. This denomination was formerly known as the Ger- man Reformed Church. The first church was estab- lished in the United States about 1727. This doctrine is nearly the same as the Lutheran. EVANGELICAL CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. Established in this country on the landing of the Pil- grims, December 21, 1620. The Creed. 1. We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 211 Maker of Heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible; And in the Jesus Christ, His only Son, onr Lord, who is of one substance with the Father; by whom all things were made; And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of life, who is sent from the Father and Son, and who together with the Father and Son is worshipped and glorified. 2. We believe that the Providence of God, by which He executes His eternal purposes in the government of the world, is in and over all events ; yet so that the free- dom and responsibility of man are not impaired, and sin is the act of the creature alone. 3. We believe that man was made in the image of God, that he might know, love, and obey God, and enjoy Him forever; that our first parents by disobedience fell under the righteous condemnation of God; and that all men are so alienated from God that there is no salvation from the guilt and power of sin except through God's redeeming grace. 4. We believe that God would have all men return to Him; that to this end He has made Himself known, not only through the works of nature, the course of His pro- vidence, and the consciences of men, but also through supernatural revelations made especially to a chosen people, and above all, when the fulness of time was come, through Jesus Christ, His Son. 5. We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and ^ew Testaments are the record of God's revelation of Himself in the work of redemption ; that they were writ- ten by men under the special guidance of the Holy Spirit; that they are able to make wise unto salvation; and that they constitute the authoritative standard by which religious teaching and human conduct are to be regulated and judged. 6. We believe that the love of God to sinful men has found its highest expression in the redemptive work of His Son ; who became man, uniting His divine nature 212 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS with our human nature in one person ; who was tempted like other men, yet without sin; who, by His humilia- tion, His holy obedience. His sufferings, His death on the cross, and His resurrection, became a perfect Re- deemer; whose sacrifice of Himself for the sins of the world declares the righteousness of God, and is the sole and sufficient ground of forgiveness and of reconcilia- tion with Him. 7. We believe that Jesus Christ, after He had risen from the dead, ascended into Heaven, where, as the one Mediator between God and man, He carries forward His work of saving men; that He sends the Holy Spirit to convict them of sin, and to lead them to repentance and faith ; and that those who through renewing grace turn to righteousness, and trust in Jesus Christ as their Re- deemer, receive for His sake the forgiveness of their sins, and are made the children of God. 8. We believe that those who are thus regenerated and justified, grow in sanctified character through fel- lowship with Christ, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the obedience to the truth ; that a holy life is the fruit and evidence of a saving faith; and that the believer^s hope of continuance in such a life is in the preserving grace of God. 9. We believe that Jesus Christ came to establish among men the kingdom of God, the reign of truth and love, righteousness and peace; that to Jesus Christ, the Head of this kingdom. Christians are directly respon- sible in faith and conduct ; and that to Him all have im- mediate access without mediatorial or priestly interven- tion. 10. We believe that the Church of Christ, invisible and spiritual, comprises all true believers, whose duty it is to associate themselves in churches, for the mainten- ance of worship, for the promotion of spiritual growth and fellowship, and for the conversion of men; that these churches, under the guidance of the Holy Scrip- tures and in fellowship with one another, may determine JN AMERICAN HISTORY. 213 — each for itself — their organization, statements of be- lief, and forms of worship; may appoint and set apart their own ministers, and should co-operate in the work which Christ has committed to them for the furtherance of the Gospel throughout the world. 11. We believe in the observance of the Lord's Day, as a day of holy rest and worship; in the ministry of the Word; and in the two Sacraments, which Christ has ap- pointed for His Church : Baptism, to be administered to believers and their children, as the sign of cleansing from sin, of union to Christ, and of the impartation of the Holy Spirit; and the Lord's Supper as a symbol of His atoning death, a seal of its efficacy, and a means whereby He confirms and strengthens the spiritual union and communion of believers with Himself. We believe in the ultimate prevalence of the kingdom of Christ over all the earth; in the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour, Jesus Christ; in the resurrection of the dead; and in a final judgment, the issues of which are everlasting punishment and ever- lasting life. UNITARIAN CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. Established in this country on the landing of the Pil- grims, December 21, 1620. Separated from the Ortho- dox Congregational about 1815. Doctrine. They believe in the strict personal unity of God. They also believe in only one supreme, self-existant God, the Father, who exists as one person, one being, infinite in his attributes, and the only proper object of the highest love and adoration. They regard Jesus Christ, as a person distinct from God, and dependent on God, from whom he derived his being and power. They ac- cept literally his saying: "My Father is greater than I." Unitarians have never believed in the Holy Spirit as a person, but regard it as an attribute or influence of 214 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS God, or God himself acting on the spiritual nature of man. But there are other doctrines and principles to which Unitarians, considered as a denomination or a class of Christians believers, attach great importance. They believe especially in the fatherhood of God, that his government is paternal, and that his mercy and love 2re ne"ver withheld from his children. As a conse- quence of this belief, while they maintain that tliere will be a sure and just retribution for sin, they believe iliat the punishment for sin which the sould suffers, both in this life and in the future life, is sent in love, not in wrath; is disciplinary in its nature, and is intended to purify the soul, and bring it back to holiness and hap- piness. They reject the doctrine of the vicarious atonement of Christ, and deny that he died to make it just and pos- sible for God to pardon man, by satisfying the claims oi the law, appeasing the divine wrath, or bearing himself the punishment which the sinner otherwise would suffer. Their theory is that Christ saves men by his truth, by the influence of his example and life, by generating in them his spirit of- faith, of love, of obedience, and of self- sacrifice; by bringing them to repentance, and to :iew and holy living. THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS. Founded in the United States at Boston by Mary Fisher and Ann Austin, September, 1656. Articles of Belief. The source of inspiration is the Holy Spirit, who in- teriorly teaches us; and the Scripture is a rule given by and subordinate to that Spirit. An immediate inspira- tion is as necessary to us as to the apostles; it teaches us whatever is necessary to salvation. The promise which Christ made to his apostles, to teach them all truth by his Spirit, and that the Holy Ghost should al- ways remain with them, was not confined to the apostles only, it belongs to all the faithful; and it is said of them IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 215 all, that the unction shall teach them all things; that is, all spiritual truth which they need. Friends are opposed to war, under all circumstances; believing it to be contrary to the spirit of Christianity. They also deny the propriety of all oaths, in accordance with Christ's command, "Swear not at all." THE HICKSITE FEIENDS. In 1827 quite a number under the leadership of Elias Hicks seceded from the Society of Friends, and arc called Hicksites. They differ from the old society re- lating to the divinity of Christ and the nature of the atonement. THE UNITED BEETHREIs^ Count Zinzendorf came to America in 1741 and preached at Germantown, Penn. The principles that they enunciated were, in brief, the following three: The Bible is the only source of Christian doctrine; pul)lic worship is to be conducted, and a discipline is to be administered, in accordance with what the Scriptures teach, and on the model of the Apostolic Church; the Lord's Supper is to be received in faith, to be- doctrinally defined in the language of Scripture, and every human explanation of ^that lan- guage is to be avoided. THE UNITED BRETHREN IN CHRIST. This denomination took its rise in the United States about the year 1755. Doctrines of the Church. 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. 2. They believe in Jesus Christ, that he is very God and man; that he became incarnate by the Holy Ghost 2i6 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS in the A^irgin 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. 3. They believe in the Holy Ghost; that he is equal in being with the Father and Son; and that he com- forts the faithful and guides them into all truth. 4. They believe that the Holy Bible, Old and New Testament, is the Word of God; that it contains the only true way to our salvation; that every true Chris- tian 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. 6. They believe that the fall in Adam and the re- demption through Jesus Christ, shall be preached throughout the world. 7. They believe that the ordinances, namely Bap- tism and the remembrance of the sufferings and death of Christ, are to be in use and practiced by all Christian societies, but the manner of which ought always to be left to the judgment of every individual. The example of washing the saints' feet is left to the judgment of all to practice or not. The Brethren in Christ oppose Freemasonry, slavery in every sense of the word, and the distilling and vend- ing of ardent spirits, except for medical and scientific purposes. THE imiVEESALIST CHUECH. The doctrines of this Church were first preached in the United States by Dr. George De Benneville at Ger- mantown, Penn,, in 1741. In 1803 the General Convention framed a Statement of Faith, which has ever since stood as the basis of fel- lowship, known as the "Winchester Confession," 'be- cause adopted at Winchester, N. H. It is as follows: Article 1. We believe that the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments contain a"^ revelation of the IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 217 character of God, and of the duty, interest, and final des- tination of mankind. Article 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. Article 3, We believe that holiness and true happi- ness are inseparably connected, and that believers ought to be careful to maintain order and practice good works, for these things are good and profitable unto men. Universalists are a unit on these points, viz. : the au thenticity of the Bible; the absolute unity and universal Fatherhood of God; the universal brotherhood of man; the sonship and dependence, but none the less the infal- libility and Divine efficiency of Christ; the impersonal- ity of the Holy Spirit, but its necessity and power as Comforter and Sanctifier; the unescapable certainty of Retribution; the readiness of God to forgive sin; the Reality of the Atonement as the process of man's recon- ciliation to God through Christ; the necessity of faith, penitence, and the new birth as the indispensable condi- tions of salvation; and the certain ultimate triumph of Christ in the victory of good over evil, as God shall be '•'all in all." THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS. This Church was organized April 6, 1830, at Fayette, Seneca County, New York. Doctrines. The following summary of doctrines believed in is from a letter by Joseph Smith, written in 1842 : We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost. We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression. We believe that through the atonement of Christ all mankind may be saved by obedience to the laws and or- dinances of the Gospel. 2i8 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS We believe that these ordinances are : First, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Bap- tism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laving on of hands for the Gift of the Holy Ghost. We believe that a man must be called of God, by "prophecy, and by laying on of hands," by those who are in authority to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof. We believe in the same organization that existed in the primitive church, viz: apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, etc. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revela- tion, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, etc. We believe the Bible to be the word of God, as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God. We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that^He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God. W'e 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 paradisiac glory. We claim the privilege of worshipping Almighty God according to the dictates of our conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sus- taining the law. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul, "We believe all things, we hope all things," we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report, or praiseworthy, we sejk after these thini]s. TN AMERICAN HISTORY. 219 THE SHAKERS. The Shakers or "The United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing/' was established in the United States at Watervliet, New York, by Ann Lee and others in 1776. A Brief Compend of Practical Principles. 1. Purity, in mind and body, including a virgin life, as exemplified and inculcated by Jesus Christ, as the' way that leads to God. 2. Honesty and integrity in all their words and deal- ings, according to the precepts of the Saviour: "As ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so unto them." 3. Humanity and kindness to both friend and foe, "Charity never faileth," "Love is the fulfilling of the Law," "Overcome evil with good." This rule compre- hends the proper conduct toward all animals. 4. To be diligent in business, serving the Lord! All labor with their hands according to strength and ability; all are to be industrious, but not slavish. Idleness is the parent of want and vice. 5. To be prudent, economical, temperate, and fru- gal, but not parsimonious. G. To keep clear of debt: owe no man anything; :;ive love and good-will. 7. United and consecrated interest in all things is their general order, but none are required to come into it except voluntarliy, for this order is the result of mu- tual love and unity of spirit; it cannot be supported AA'here selfish relation of husband, wife and children ex- ists. This order is tlie greatest and clearest demonstra- - tion of practical love. "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye love one another." 8. All are suitably provided for in health, sickness, and old age ; all being equallv of the one "Household of Faith." Indeed, to sum it all up, to seek and practice every 220 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS virtue, without superstition, is the leading tenet of the Shaker profession. "Add to your faith, virtue/' THE CHRISTIANS. This society originated in Virginia and North Caro- lina, Dec. 25, 1793, by seceders from the Methodist. General Belief. 1. That God is the rightful arbiter of the universe, the source and fountain of all good. 2. That all men have sinned and come short of the glory of God. 3. That with God there is forgiveness; but that sin- cere repentance and reformation are indispensable to the forgiveness of sins. 4. That man is constituted a free moral agent, and made capable of obeying the gospel. 5. That through the agency of the Holy Spirit, souls, in the use of means, are converted, regenerated, and made new creatures. 6. That Christ was delivered for our offences and raised again for our justification; that through his ex- ample, doctrine, death, resurrection, and intercession, he has made salvation possible to every one, and is the only Saviour of lost sinners. 7. That Baptism and the Lord's Supper are ordin- ances to be observed by all true believers ; and that Bap- tism is the immersing of the candidate in water, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. 8. That a life of watchfulness and prayer only will keep Christians from falling, enabling them to live in a justified state, and ultimately secure to them the crown of eternal life. 9. That there will be a resurrection of both the just and the unjust. 10. That God has ordained Jesus Christ judge of the quick and dead at the last day; and at the judgment, IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 221 the wicked will go away into everlasting punishment, and the righteous into life eternal. THE SECOND ADVENT CHURCH. Founded by William Miller of Massachusetts in 1833. Doctrine as preached by Mr. Miller. 1. I believe that Jesus Christ will come again to this earth. 2. I believe He will come in all the glory of His Father. 3. I believe He will come in the clouds of Heaven. 4. I believe He will then receive His kingdom, which will be eternal. 5. I believe the saints will then possess the kingdom forever. 6. I believe at Christ's second coming the body of every departed saint will be raised, like Christ's glorious body. 7. I believe that the righteous who are living on the earth when he comes will be changed from mortal to immortal bodies, and with them who are raised from the dead, will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air, and so be forever with the Lord. 8. I believe the saints will then be presented to God, blameless, without spot or wrinkle, in love. 9. I believe when Christ comes the second time, he will come to finish the controversy of Zion, to deliver his children from all bondage, to conquer their last enemy, and to deliver them from the power of the tempter, which is the devil. 10. I believe that when Christ comes He will destroy the bodies of the living wicked by fire, as those of the old world were destroyed by water, and shut up their souls in the pit of woe, until their resurrection unto damnation. 11. I believe, when the earth is cleansed by fire, that Christ and his saints will then take possession of the 222 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS earth, and dwell therein forever. Then the kingdom will be given to the saints. 12. I believe the time is appointed of God when these things shall be accomplished. 13. I believe God has revealed the time. 14. I believe many who are professors and preachers will never believe or know the time until it comes upon them. 15. I believe the wise, they who are to shine as the brightness of the firmament (Dan. xii. 3), will under- stand the time. EVANGELICAL ADYENTISTS. This Advent Society was formed in Boston, in 185S. They do not believe in the final destruction of the wicked, but in nearly all other points they agree with the Advent Church. SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS. Organized in 1844. This is another branch of the Advent Church. They observe the seventh dav as the Sabbath. They set no time for the second coming of Christ, believing that the prophecies which, in the opinion of other Adventists, fixed the second advent in or about 1842, really brought the world only to the "cleansing of the tabernacle,^^ a period of brief but uncertain duration preceding the coming of Christ. CHRISTL\N SCIENTISTS. Christian Science was first proclaimed by Mary Baker G. Eddy in 1867, at Lynn, Mass. Christian Scientists have no creed as accepted term as doctrinal beliefs. The following important points, or religious tenets of Christian Science: First, As adherents of Truth, they take the Scrip- ' tures for their guide to eternal Life. Second, They acknowledge and adore one Supreme God. They acknowledge His Son, and the Holy Ghost, and man as the Divine image and likeness. IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 223 Third, They acknowledge God's forgiveness of sin, with destruction of sin, and that sin and suffering arc not eternal. Fourth, They acknowledge the atonement as the ef- ficacy and evidence of Divine Love, of man's unity with God, and the great merits of the way-shower. Fifth, They acknowledge the way of salvation demon- strated by Jesus, to be the power of Truth over all error, sin, sickness and death; and the resurrection of human faith and understanding to seize the great possibilities and living enigies of Divine Life. Sixth, They solemnly promise to strive, watch and pray for that mind to be in us which was also in Christ Jesus, to love one another, and to be meek, merciful, just and pure. THE NEW, JERUSALEM CHURCH. The doctrines were introduced info this country by means of books brought by James Glen into Philadel- phia in the year 1784. The first permanent church was formed in the city of Baltimore in 1798. Those who compose this body of Christians are popu- larly called Swedenborgians, from Emanuel Sweden- borg. They hold to the doctrines of the supreme di- vinity of the Lord Jesus Christ, the full inspiration of the Sacred Scriptures, and the necessity of a good life. As to forms of worship they prescribe none, but be- lieve that Baptism and the Holy Supper are Divinely appointed ordinances. Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is a primary principle, but salvation depends not on a mere profession of be- lief, but upon a life of obedience to the commandments. The old dogma of justification by faith alone is rejected, and charity and good works are insisted upon as neces- sary. As to the Resurrection, Swedenborg teaches that when man dies he puts off the material body never to resume it, and rises in a spiritual body. He is then judged in an 224 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS intermediate state^ called the world of spirits, the judg- ment consisting in an unrolling of his book of life, in which all his secret motives are written. After this, his state is fixed either in Heaven or hell, according to his lifein the world. THE SALVATION ARMY OF AMERICA. The Salvation Army of America is an incorporated Society under the laws of the State of N"ew York. The movement conducted by this Society came into legal ex- istence on October 24, 1884, under the name of "The Salvation Army." Doctrine. 1. We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament were given by inspiration of God, and that they only constitute the Divine rule of Christian faith and practice, 2. We believe there is only one God, who is infinitely perfect, the Creator, Preserver, and Governor of all things. 3. We believe that there are three persons in the Godhead — the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, un- divided in essence, co-equal in power and glory, and the only proper object of religious worship. 4. We believe that in the person of Jesus Christ the Divine and human natures are united, so that He is truly and properly God, and truly and properly man. 5. We believe that our first parents were created in a state of innocence, but by their disobedience they lost their purity and happiness; and that in consequence of their fall, all men have become sinners, totally depraved, and as such are justly exposed to the wrath of God, 6. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has, by His suffering and death, made an atonement for the whole world, so that whosoever will may be saved. IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 225 7. We believe that repentance toward God, faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, and regeneration by t!ie Holy Spirit, are necessary to salvation. 8. We believe that we are justified by grace, through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, and that he that be- lieveth hath the witness in himself. 9. We believe that the Scriptures teach, that not only does continuance in the favor of God depend upon continued faith in, and obedience to, Christ, but that it is possible for those who have been truly converted to fall away and be eternally lost. ' 10. We believe that it is the privilege of all believers to be 'Wholly sanctified," and that "their whole spirit and soul and body'' may "be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." That is to say, we believe that; after conversion there remains in the heart of the believer inclination to evil, or roots of bit- terness, which, unless overpowered by Divine grace, pro- duce actual sin; but that these evil tendencies can be entirely taken away by the Spirit of God, and the whole heart thus cleansed from everything contrary to the will of God, or entirely sanctified, will then produce the fruits of the Spirit only. And we believe that persons thus entirely sanctified, may, by the power of God, be kept unblamable and unreprovable before Him. 11. We believe in the immortality of the soul; in the resurrection of the body; in the general judgment at the end of the world; in the eternal happiness of the righteous; and in the everlasting punishment of the wicked. MODERN SPIRITUALISM. Robert Dale Owen declared that Spiritualism, as un- derstood in the United States, had its birth on March 31, 1844, when the phenomenon of spirit-rapping mani- fested itself to the Fox family in Hydeviile,^^. Y. Spiritualism is not to be regarded as a formal sect, nor do its followers desire that it should become a sep- arate church, with prescribed creed, ordained ministers, and learned professors. 226 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS Spiritualists do not believe in miracles, asserting that the natural law is universal, invariable, persistent, and that all spiritual epiphanies are natural phenomena. As a rule, they do not regard Christ as one of the persons in the Godhead. The mediums, or the persons through whom the com- muliications are made, have been divided as follows; rapping mediums; mediums for tipping and turning tables by a slight touch of the finger; for the movement of ponderous bodies without contact ; for the production of phosphorescent lights in a dark room ; for playing on musical instruments in a manner beyond their ordinary abilities; for involuntary writing, and for writing inde- pendent of any apparent aid from human hands; for the diagnosing and healing of diseases; for levitation; and for the materialization of spirit forms identical in appearance with those of deceased persons. Among the leading principles on which it may be said all intelligent spiritualists substantially agree are these: This is a world governed by a God of love and mercy, in which all things work together for the good of those who reverently conform to His eternal laws. In strict- ness there is no death. Life continues from the life which now is to that which is to come. The earth- phase of life is an essential preparation for the life which is to come. The phase of life which follows the death- change is, in the strictest sense, a supplement to that which precedes it. Our state here determines our initial state there. We do not, either by faith or works, earn Heaven ; nor are we sentenced, on any day of wrath, to hell. In the next life we simply gravitate to the posi- tion for which, by the life on earth, we have fitted our selves. There is no instantaneous chan_£^e of character when we pass from the present phase of life : our facul- ties, passions, virtues, all go over with us. In the next world love ranks higher than what we call wisdom, be- ins: itself the highest wisdom. INDEX Page.
