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.
