Book Description

Excerpt from Heroes and Hierarchs: Or Biblical Principles as Held by Baptists in the Contention for Religious Liberty In the Centennial review of the forces which have been engaged in modern foreign missions, the position of honor was, by common consent, assigned to the Baptists. This is because they were first called into service by the Commander in Zion; and also because he has so placed and so inspired them as to make their achievements conspicuous. Their heroic leaders, who have served and fallen on many fields, gained renown throughout the Christian world. And of the great army afield to-day, advancing to the conquests of the future, the hosts of this denomination, increased in number and perfected in equipments are a leading division. This high distinction must give added interest, with religious people, to the important features of the history of this body of Christians, and to the study of the principles which distinguish them. Especially will such interest and study attend the work of the Young People's Union, one of whose constitutional objects is "Instruction in Baptist Doctrine and History;" and helps in such instruction, produced by extended research, will be appreciated.
