Excerpt: ...and give him the keys of the kingdom of heaven. (Mat.: xvi, 18.) c. Christ taught out of Peter's ship. (Luke: v, 3.) Ordered the same tribute to be paid for himself and for Peter. (Mat.: xvil, 2.) Prayed particularly for Peter, that his faith should not fail. (Luke: xxii, 32.) d. Christ committed the care of his whole church to Peter, saying, "Feed my sheep. Feed my lambs." (John: xxi, 15.) To this (admitting that Peter was the most, forward and fluent of the twelve, and generally their spokesman) we reply: e. That Christ expressly forbade any gradation of rank among the twelve. "One is your master, even Christ, and all ye are brethren." (Mat.: 23-8.) / The twelve knew nothing of any primacy in Peter. The dispute, who should be greatest, arose after the alleged appointment of Peter as their prince. (Mat.: xvi, 18.) g. Paul declared that he was fully equal to Peter--"in nothing behind the very chiefest apostles," (2 Cor.: Xii, 11, ) and rebuked him to the face. (Gal.: II, 11.) h. Peter had no idea of his own supremacy, nor ever claimed any. i. Christ's words to Peter, " Feed my sheep," etc., instead of being his commission to rule over the whole church, were merely an assurance that he was not put out of the ministry for his sin, but might continue, being penitent, to exercise the office of a pastor. k. Christ's Church was not to be built upon Peter, but upon the truth, which Peter had confessed, viz., the divine mission of Jesus as Messiah (f-i rau-nj r?j-irpa. Mat: xvi, 18.) There is a true sense, however, in which the church was built upon Peter, viz., that he laid the foundations of it as an organized society, by receiving the first Jewish and the first Gentile converts to membership. (Acts: xi, ...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Presbyterian Manual: Containing Forms for the Records of the Session, Presbytery, and Synod; And for the Judicial and Other Esslesiastical Proceedings Required by the Polity of the Presbyterian Church The Manual which is herewith presented to the Church is believed to be the only book of its class. The labor of preparing it was undertaken by the Rev. John N.Lewis, at the request of a Committee of the General Assembly. The original design was to append the "forms" to the new Digest of the Acts and Decisions of the Assembly, which the committee had been appointed to arrange. When, however, it was ascertained that the Digest must be made so much more voluminous than was at first intended, Mr. Lewis was requested to enlarge the plan of the Manual, and to prepare it for publication as a separate and independent work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Southern Methodism, Including Church History, Doctrine, Polity, and Missions This book is part of the Advanced Circle Course for the training of Sunday school workers in the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.

Excerpt: ... from the New Testament, and not very much from early ecclesiastical literature. It is contended that during these thirty years, and therefore during the lifetime of the Apostle John, a great change was made in the organisation of the apostolic churches, and that at the beginning of the second century the distinction between "bishops" and "presbyters" was widely and firmly established. The argument may be stated briefly in the following form: --'As late as 4A.D. 70 there is no sign of any distinction between a bishop and a 'presbyter; but soon after A.d. 100 it is clear that supreme authority * was attributed to the bishop. What is the history of this remark4 able change? The Apostle John was alive till nearly the close of the 'century, and the earliest indications of the supremacy of the bishop are in 'Asia Minor, where John's influence was most powerful. The distinction * between bishop and presbyter is strongly asserted in the epistles ot * Ignatius, which belong to the early part of the second century. May it not be inferred that this change in the organisation of Christian 'churches had John's sanction, and that the simpler polity which is fflns'trated in the New Testament was not intended to be permanent ?' * That the authority of the bishop had this early origin, that it was fully established some time before the end of the first century, and therefore f during the life of the Apostle John, does not rest on the unsupported 'authority oflgnatius; it is confirmed by other early' ecclesiastical writers.' * There are two questions to be investigated: (I.) What evidence exists in support of the position that early in the second century the distinction between " bishops " and "presbyters " was widely and firmly...
