)r. Brastow, a professor in Yale
nity School, in his book on "The!ern
Pulpit,' says: 'The Baptist F
ch has had their theologv, which ?
c
furnished a teaching basis for ^
work of the pulpit, and they f
? perpetuated and enlarged them- r
es by holding tenaciously to its ^
nctive characteristics. Their very j
arkable success in time past in
country is due not only or chief0
the scenic impressiveness of
r baptisimal service or to the
edness with which their covenant <j
is tested, or to their evangelistic r
>r, but as well to the strenous in- *
ation and defense of their dis- f
uishing doctrines.' Here is more p
id sense and excellent unity, with s
rty. We are devoutly and truly r
;byterian, but we love and honor
faithful Baptist brethren, and wo j
ready to say there is no finer body elievers
in our nation today than
Southern Baptist church. The t

of any Protestant body in r
nation, has bred in us the strong ^
admiratian and confidence. Our 8

t cordial regard also; but they, [
ourselves have had to conterd ^

greatly appreciate the contribute
