FOUT Although the Church of the Untied Brethren in Christ was founded over a century ago, and has long since grown to be an extensive religious organization, it was only within the last decade that it has been established in the capital of the country. It was the history of this orsani- zation that formed the theme for a sermon Sunday evening by Rev. Julius E. Fout, pastor of the Church of the United Breth- ren in Christ, located at the corner of North Cepitol and R streets. The beautiful little chapel, in which this congregation worships was well filled lest evening, and Mr. Fout’s schotarly sermon proved of great interest to all those pres- ent. History of the Charch. “A full knowledge of our church's his- tory,” said Mr. Foat, “its struggles, growth and successes, its principles and methods of work, cannot fail i9 enlist the enthu- siasm of all the members and make them more devoted to its interests. While we de not represent, numerically nor financial- ly, the greatest denomination in cur coun- tey, yet we do represent a church of whose origin and history we certainly need noi feel ashamed. It is not offshoot trem any other denominatj outgrowth of any sechi trine, polity or worship. to a beginning which bears all the marks of providential indorzen:eat. Hoth in its in- ception and evolution it nad the call of Goa and the shaping hand of Providence. As in the founding of many other great Christian denominations, God raised up a great man, a mighty leader, who gathered up in his personality and life elements that were suited to meet the exigency of a new nee in the religious condition of this countr “Just as Calvinism was an_ evoluti from the mighty brain of John Calvin, and Lutheranism the product of the inspired thought of Martin Luther, and Methodism an emanation from the soul of Joha ¥ ley, set on fire by the spirrt of truth, the very life germs of the United brethren Church began in the heart and brain of Mr Otterbein, whom God raised up as a leader to usher in a new era of evangelical life America. In this godly iaan were forces and elements which gradually developed and crystallized into a separate, visible or- ganization, whose efficiency and fruitful- ness far surpassed the fondest anticipations of its founder. ° mM respecting doc- Tt can be traced Founder of a Sect. “Philip William Otterbein, the foun-ler of this church, came from Dillenburg, Ger- to America as a missionary in 1 He was a young man of excellent cd Uonal equipment, a fine thinker, an able preacher, and a zealous, devoted missi ary. Bishop Asbury of the Metn copal Church, at whose ordinati : terbein assisted, bears this testimony to his exalted character: “Forty years I have lowering in learning, wisdom and grace, and yet seeking to be known cniy to God and to the people of Goll.” “It is vain to deny the historic fact thi Mr. Otterbein, who preceded Mr. Wesle to America, found Christianity at a very low ebb. Great spiritual dearth prevailed in the churches? gross immoralities were practiced, and lifeless formality reigned almost supreme. Dr. Nevin of the German Reformed Cnurch says, in describing this condition of spiritual declension: “True, serious piety was treated with marked scorn. The idea of the new birth was treated as pietistic whimery. Experimental religion in all its forms was eschewed as a new-fangled invention of cunning impos- tors brought in to turn the heads of the weak and lead captive silly women. Prayer meetings were held to be a spiritual abom- ination.’ So widespread was this state of lifeless formality that one has said of it: ‘A converted minister was as great a phenomenon as a comet in the heavens.’ Even Mr. Otterbein, though an upright, pure-minded minister, probably knew noth. ing of a change of heart and the blessed- ness of the spiritual birth in the soul when he first came to America. But during his first pastorate in the new world, at Lancas- ter, Pa., an incident occurred in his relig- ious life that so revolutionized his personal experience and ministerial life as to make him, under the leadings of Providence, the founder of the Church of the United Bretn- ren in Christ. His Real Conversion. “‘One Sabbath morning Mr. Otterbein preached with great force and impressive- ness upon the necessity of repentance for sin, and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as a personal Savior. His audience was deeply moved under his earnest sermon, but none more so than himself. After the service one of his auditors,who was greatly awakened by the message, came to Mr. Otterbein for spiritual advice. But he re- plied ly friend, advice is scarce with me today,” and, retiring to his closet, he con- tinued in earnest, importunate ‘pleading with God, until his own soul was brought into conscious communion with the risen, living Christ. This experience of spiritual conversion and personal assurance was the key to his subsequent ministerial life and operations. His soul burning with the warm currents of this new, divine life, his own pastorate was too circumscribed for him, so that he not only sought, but also created, opportunities of visiting adjacent communities to proclaim the necessity of a deeper inward spiritual experience as es- sential to purity of life, religious growth and spiritual peace and joy. The spirit of this new awakening was contagious, mov- ing on to other communities, touching min- isters of different denominations, provok- ing conflict, opposition and antipathy to such an extent that Mr. Otterbein and his coadjutors found themselves bound to- gether as a “peculiar people,” having a com- mon inward spiritual experience, which was precious beyond measure. This expe- rience came to him while tor at Lancas- ter, Pa., in 1754. = =e Resigned His Pastorate. “In 1758 he resigned his pastorate there and took charge of a church at Tulpe- hocken, Pa., where he introduced the pray- er meeting, the first of the kind in America. “In 1760 he accepted a call from the church at Frederick, Md., which he served until 1765, when he transferred his labors to York, Pa. During these years this &reat tidal wave of spirituality had swept Pos- stbly through all.the colonies, and hearts from all denominations were touched by its Influence. In.the year 1766, at a great meeting held in « barn belonging to Isaac Long, near Lancaster, Pa., the name wes given to this great ghovement which has ever since characteri! the denomination. Mr. Martin Bochm, a Mennonite minis-er, who had received a like experienee, was the Preacher. Mr. Otterbein had not before met Mr. Boehm, and as he preached that Whitsuntide day of a risen, living Christ, the power of the Holy Ghost fell upon all, and when he concluded his sermon, before he could sit down, Mr. Otterbein, moved by an overpowering conviction of new-found fellowship in the truth, clasped Boehm in his arms and exclaimed: ‘We are brethren.’ Unable to repress their emotions, some in the congregation praised the Lord aloud; but the greater part were bathed in tears, and all hearts seemed melted into one. The Name Suggested. “To those present the occasion was, more than merely in name, a true Whitsuntide— @ present Pentecost. And here in this ‘Pentecost of spiritual power was not only the name, but truly the Church of the United Brethren in Christ.

Mr. Otterbein assist- ed in the ordination of Bishop Asbury, In 1800 the denomination assumed the name United Brethren in Christ, which it now has, adding at this time the words “in Christ,” to distinguish them from the Mor- avians. “From 1800 to 1815 the church grew slow- ly, but steadily, its work being solely among the Germans. As many of its mem- bers emigrated to Ohio and the west, they carried forward the work, and in 1810 @ new conference was formed west of the Alleghanies, known as Miami. “Thus its spread was with the population westward, until today it reaches the Pa- The first general conferenc from which time atten- more earnestly toward the English-speaking people. Through the century the church has come, making its path luminous all the way with triumph and prosperity, retaining to the present time all those vigorous, vital elements of evangelical life with which ft began its existence, and now has a constituency of well nigh a quarter of a million of conse- crated men and women and children, whose faces are set like a flint toward the future for the fuller triumph of evangelical Chris- tianity. History of Progress. “Its history is the history of a progres- sive evangelical church Its attitude to- ward all questions of moral reform ha: been outspoken and plain. In 1815, at its very first general conference, it placed the stamp of condemnation on human slavery. In 1821 it enacted a strong prohibitory law forbidding the buying and selling of slaves by church members, ven requir- ing the manumission of slaves upon the part of all slave holders who would con- tinue their church membership. And final- ly, in 1837, it refused to tolerate slavery in any wise in the church. Th's rule brought bitter opposition from slave hold- ers and shut the church out of the south. But our fathers stodd like a mountain of rock against this curse upon American civilization. While many other denomina- tions divided upon this question, the Unit- ed Brethren stood as a unit against it under and the denc Here Mr. Ot Mr. Asbury of first time, and in “Again, on the temperance question, its attitude has been of no uncertain ~ound.
