Description:Excerpt from Baptism: In Its Mode and Subjects This publication owes its existence to the following circumstances: During the month of August last, the Lord blessed the church at Antioch, of which I am the pastor, with a season of refreshing from his presence. During its progress, we had, for nearly two weeks, daily occasion to administer the ordinance of baptism. As is my custom, I availed myself of the opportunity afforded, to address the people at the water's side on the subject - making some nine or ten addresses in all, and going over, in a hasty and superficial way, nearly all the references to the ordinance in the Scriptures. These remarks, as was to have been expected, created some little interest in the minds of those opposed to them. Within a mile of Antioch is situated a Methodist Meeting House, called "Centre." The next "Quarterly Conference" appointed the very estimable gentleman, Rev. Wm. J. Parks, the Presiding Elder, to preach a sermon on Baptism at "Centre" Meeting House. It was never publicly avowed, I believe, but it was very generally understood, that it was to be a reply to my remarks at the water's side. After giving very general publicity to the appointment in all the surrounding region, the sermon was preached to a large congregation on Thursday, the 29th of October. I attended, and received all that courtesy which is due from one gentleman and Christian to another. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
