Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Outline of the Argument Against the Validity of Lay-Baptism
The Author of this Outline is aware that some apology may be thought necessary for bring ing forth, into the Open arena Of public discussion, a subject, which has been suffered to repose in nu broken silence during the whole period that has elapsed since the independent organization of the Church in America. It is true that the subject has not been wholly unheeded; that the principles ad vocated in these pages have been secretly and quietly gaining ground; and that they have been practically carried out in many instances within the last few years; but still noiselessly and almost invisibly. Nor would the present writer have taken upon himself the responsibility Of disturbing the even tenor Of their way, had he not been con strained so to do by the instinctive impulse of self defence, as well as by a sense Of Official responsi bility.
