IK' V. Pl|t 8 I WHERE DID THE BAPTIST COME FROM? Continued from Page 1 a token of his union with his Lord. As lon^ as grass grows and water runs; this>-JT\iemoriul will be maintained aiu it has been maintained through all the climbing centuries. Tho other memorial is the Lord's Supper, wtiyh will show forth the Lord's death until He comes. But we must hurry back to oui book. Realizing the imposibility of following out flafr-minded author through his entire discussion of the Baptist, we come, a ?little nearer to our own time and note his references?1*> soma,, -distill^ guished members of our denomination. who have left the r im pression upon the hearts of nun. ' < Speaking of the English Bappists, he says that "They showered England with grt<at men, great deeds . . . They gave her the soldiers of her Revolution, her mighty men of peace; they proyuietl Bunyan and hi? 'Pilgrim's?Pro- -1 gress,' written in Be*.lord jail blind Milton and 'Paradistj Lost, .written in darkness; they pro. duced Danrel Defoe and h i .'Robinson Crusoe'; ATexantiei Maclaren and A. J. Gordon am' Robert Hall and .Spurgeon the Incomparable, preachers all. Thcj gave England Andrew Fuller, it Whose home was forniev* in(171)2' the English Baptist Missonarv Society, and William Carey, thi father of modern mission.-." ' Coming to America, the Ilap tists were the authors of civil anc reVgious liberty, and througl Roger -Williams and Dr. .Tuhft, Clark, they established the lirsi free state among the colonic and the first city, Providence, K - I* in-which there was ahsolut liberty of conscience and "Treedon of speech. They were loyal sol. diers during the American Revo lution and this author states tha ___ some observers have declare* there ^WS8~TTTot?a Baptist Troy n America when King George sen his /minions here to hold The' tit it teen colonies in subjugation to th< British crown. Not only rs this so. but th Baptist were the authors of th First Aniendent to the Fe Via Constitution. Our author gives y lusic account of those his tori days as follows: . ' The States were jealous of on another, dubious of centralize Federal power. Finally, Massn chusetts and Virginia becanv th pivotal states in the tight: the; n>ust pass it, or the whole >thiiv. would be lost. Massachusetts fe! into line with an early election an that left Virginia. Now Mad sm was running for the state, legislature of Virginia against a Bap tist Elder, John Leland, Drang, j County. Maddison's presence* it that body was necessary to rat t'\ the Constitution and Madison was, beaten before the election! Orangi was overwhelmingly Baptist: Madison hadn't a chance! T.elan knew that. He also knew thawithout Madison's golden voir political influence, there would 1 no Constitution. So with vic'tu' ?Talready in his hand he dmppc out the race and gave Madi>oti a open road. The rest is history We call lames . Madison th "Father of the Constitut-on." Hi1 is he? What shall wo do with Ki der Lelanu? Meanwhile Baptist everywhere kept talking ahou that Artiendement. ;... A Genera Committer of the Baptists in Vii * ginia met in 1788 to <liscu> . . "whether the new Constitution . made sufficient provision for tinsecure enjoyment of religious li b^rty. "They talked it over anv i i themselves and they talked i over w|'th Mr. Madison and tin*, sent a' delegation trp- to?talk?+ over with Mr. Washington wh whs Ipow President Washingt". Their reception was cordial, sym ' pathetic. So sympathetic that th Congress, urged on by the Pre ident made ft their first busine's . to consider What the Baptist ha to say. The first Amendment - ? therefore reads: Toneless slid make no law respiting an esta blishment ofi religion, or prohibi ing the free -exerc'les thereof." Ill I could go on writing about thi remarkable book until I had writ ten another book, but have onl> space for one other incident givci by our author, which We need t hold sacredly in our hearts in th"> time when -^'America i.s in peril" Two Baptist preachers, Willian Wober and Joseph Anthony wen _ locked up in Cherstet field Courtr jail ana toi.t to keep ?The\ preached through the bars of thei; cells to crowds in the .-treets out side. John Walter, Louis Craig and James Childs were mobbed and brought to court where a wild ~ ~gyed~ prosecuting?attorney rri.-d above the hubbub, 'May it plus your worshi p these men are proa' disturbers of the peace; they can not meet a rrfan upon the road hi;' they must ram a text of scrip., ture' dovwi his throat!'. It ipol.o bad .for the defcn iafil-. Fifty miles away a young Scotch-A me rican lawyer named Patriot Homo (a-good Episcopalian) beard o' it, turneti to the roots of his bar saddled his horse and galloped into town. Waving the indicment above his head in a rtury wilder ??? thnt nf thp pi-f?ernt i r| g at torney, he roared. 'Fov preaching the gospel of Gop! Great God1 Great God!! Great God!!' (FK sa('d the same thing years latei in a slightly different phrase) 'Give me liberty or give me death. The preachers were acquitted.
