Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Springfield Baptist Association: With Sketches of the Churches of Which It Is Composed and Biographical Sketches of Deceased Ministers This volume embraces (the first half-century of the Baptist annals of Central Illinois. The purpose intended in its preparation has been to place upon permanent record such facts connected with the early settlement of the country, and the planting of its religious institutions, as shall show to the present and future generations what interest was taken by the fathers in laying the foundations of society upon the firm basis of the Gospel, The sources from which these facts have been drawn are the very complete records of the Baptist Church in Springfield, and the original records of the Association, together with a complete file of its minutes from its organization to the present time. In addition to these, the minutes of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, and those of the Illinois Baptist Convention, as also of the Baptist General Association of Illinois, have furnished incidental facts which have been woven into the warp and woof of the book. In addition to the documents thus made use of, valuable information has been furnished from the personal recollection of persons still living, who were among the constituent members of the Association. Of these, and worthy of special mention, is our venerable brother, Josiah Francis, who was a delegate from the Springfield Church to the Association in 1838, and who was also its Treasurer from 1840 until 1850. Intimately connected with all our denominational interests for the last forty-five years, and with his natural vigor of intellect still unabated, he has given from his personal knowledge many facts which hitherto have been preserved only in his memory, but are now embraced in these pages.
