Dr. Joel Slocum preached a sermon on Sunday | at the Central Baptist church upon the subject Baptist Principles in History, which had the close attention of the Targe congregation at the morning ser- vice at the church. What Baptists Stand For. Rev. Dr. Slocum summed up his able discourse by giving the nine points for which the ~Baptists still istand. These, he said, were for the authority of the Book; for the spir- ituality, independence and democracy of the local church; for personal faith in and acceptance of Jesus Christ as Saviour and King: for freedom of con- science; for liberty of speech; for the right of private judgment in the in- terpretation of scriptures; for the di- rect accession of the individual to God; for separation of church and state; for the maintenance of the pur- ity of the two ordinances of the t church. President-Emeritus_Eliot has said that the chief gain of three centuries has been freedom of thought; and almost as though replying to the same sentiment, Baneroft said, “Freedom of conscience, unlimited freedom of mind, was from ‘the first the trophy of the Baptists.” The first amendment to the consti tution of the United States was in- spired by the Baptists. It stands there a worthy tribute to their pioneer ef- |forts in the fleld of civil and religiou | libert. “Congress shall make no law Tespecting an establishment of wre- ligion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Vast Field and Mighty Obligation. The question of the hour is, have we any further use for the principles to whose perpetuation a long line of heroic souls gave the full measure of | their devotion? My own answer is an emphatic yes. If America is to be'a Teal democracy, then the Bautists are !face to face with a vast feld and a mighty obligation. Historical Review. In his historical review of the de- velopment of Baptist principles, Rev. Dr, Slocum said that historically speaking they cannct claim _an | unbroken apostolic line of Bap- | tists froa the beginning of our era until now. With considerable h torical confidence, however, we can claim an apostolic succession of Bap- tist principles. More important than the name, which at various stages has attached itself to groups of people |who have avowed these principles, are [the thins which they believed and | for which thousands of them surren- dered their very lives, That long series herolc _souls | were protestants centuries before the word came to be especially devoted to its present use. They protested against the established order, because they saw the danger within the hierarchy that threatened the purity of the Go: pel as first taught by Jesus. To main- tain the doctrines and ordinances of Christ as He originally delivered them to the disciples, was the aim and ef- fort of these early antecedents of our Baptist brotherhood. The right to worship God according to the dictates of the individual conscience was to them, as to us, fundamental Earliest Successful Protest. The earliest protest that largely succeeded was that of Montanaism. About the middle of the second cen- tury, Montanum, a Phrygian, gathered about him a number of enthusiastic adherents, among whom was the able Tertullian. Condemning the disposi- tion of the Roman church to accom- modate herself too generously to the worldly spirit of the times, the Mon- tanists strongly opposed worldly ten- |dencies and vigorously advocated a |return to the New Testament idea of a spiritual _church. They insisted on confining church membership to those giving clear evidence of regeneration by the Holy Spirit. They baptized, therefore, only believers and practiced the one form that was employed dur- ing the second century, namely, im- mersion. They finally enjoyed the dis- |tinction of being driven out of the | Catholic communion. _Some writers |have asserted that the Montanists | were Baptists in everything save the {name. This does not appear to be a well subatantiated claim, although it is true that the great outstanding doc- |trines which they advocated are the | very omes which, in course of time, | came to be the distinguishing program of our denominational fathers. The next to take up the propaganda of these principles were the Nova- | tians, organized about the middle of |the third century by Novatianus, a resbyter of Rome. The name “Nova- | tians,” by which this sect was most | widely known, was applied to them by thelr enemies. They themselves | preferred the name Cathari (the pure). | Novatianus and his followers wers | excommunicated by a Roman synod tin 257 A. D. Thenceforward th |claimed to be the oniy true chureh. | | Meanwhile persecution was relentless- ly employed for their extermination, | but with the only effect of deepening their convictions and extending their influence. The Novatians can be | clearly traced onward to the sixth or | seventn century. In the Fourth Century. Following these, were the Donatists | —so _called from their leader Donatus | of North Africa in the fourth cen- tury. The occasion of their organiza- | tion was a schism that diyided the church into two factions. The con- troversy arose over the character of | | the Christian church. On the one hand |thera were those who belleved that {the church is a school for learning goodness. On_the other hand. there Were those who contended that the {church is already a graduate body of [holy Deings. These latter were tho | Donatists. Unfortunately they sub- !mitted this highly spiritual question |to the clvil powers for decision. Then when the case went against them, they came out strongly for religious liberty with no_interference from the state. But they had already established an unpleasant precedent against them- selves. Like the Novatians, the Dona- | tists rebaptized all those Who entered | their fellowship from the Catholic | church, chiefly. however, because tmey | were not willing to admit the valid- | lity of the “orders” of the Catholic clergy. Novatians and Donatists were alike in placing strong emphasis upon the spiritual nature of the church and |the prercauisite of regemeration and.| la godly life to membership therein. | OBSERVED DENOMINATION DAY | Rev.

The cemmon ground of these four groups of protestants which we have just_briefly reviewed may be express- | £ in this four-fold statement; The ) | of faith jreceding hip; rejection of in- mmersion.

They have been called the grandpar- ents of the Baptists. Their history | is fascinating in the extreme, but it | is sufficient here to record that their | Irreparable break with Rome prepared | the way for the Anabaptist churches | of that period. When FPeter Waldo, the prosperous merchant was con- | verted by the text: “If thou wilt be perfect, go sell that thou hast and give to the poor,” he did not dream of | the conflict that awaited him, nor did | he anticipate that his literal accep! ance of the instruction of Jesus that text involved a separation himself and his followers from the | Church _of Rome When in the prov- dence of God these loyal disciples of Christ had fulfilled their great mis- sion and had gone down, many of them before the edge of ‘the sword, there sprang forth a marvellous har- vest in that fine band of Christian | patriots known then and now as the Anabaptists. Arabaptist: All over Europe these Anabap- tists came forth as if they had been waiting some prearrangement and as if they were intimately related to one another in their respective units. So spontaneous was their _inception that the origin of the Anabaptists is somewhat obscure. It seems very likely that they were simply the re crudesence of the earlier sects, All at once, they sprang forth with a vogor wholly unexpected of so young an organization. The things for which they stood were: Complete separation of church and state; liberty of the individual conscience; the Bible as the only rule of faith and practice; re- jection of infant baptism; regenerate church membership; believers’ bap- i by immersion. The Baptists of the last three or four hundred years are undoubtedly the direct descendents of the Ana- baptists of the period of the Reform- ation. The following quotation, taken from a history of the Reformed Dutch church prepared by royal request, some years ago, by Dr. Dermot, chap- lain to the King of Holland, is intense- ly interesting, coming as it does from a Pedobaptist authority: “We have seen that the Baptists, who were for- merly called Anabaptists, and, in later times, Mennonites, were the original Waldenses, and _have long in the history of the church received | the honor of that origin. On this ac- count, the Baptist may be considered the only Christian community which has stood since the apostles, and as a Christian society which has pre- served pure the doctrines of the gos- pel through all ages.” It was early in the sixteenth cen- tury that Christians holding Baptist convictions fled from the continent and took refuge in England. But in England, as on the continent, the held the unenviable distinction of be: ing objects of special hatred. Baptists in Wales. The Welsh Baptists have an inter- esting history. They claim no connec- tno with the continental Anabaptists, Dbpt boast of their own d apostolic successicn. Autin, the Roman monk visited Wales about the sixth century He found a community of more than two thousand Christians living in the mountains, having repudiated the Roman church, and practicns Baptist | doctrines. From that day to this, at least, there has been an unbroken line of stalwart Weish Baptists. SATURDAY CLASS HELD RECEPTION AT MILLER'S Programme of a Dozen Numbers with Marked Proficiency.
