Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the First Baptist Church of Bloomington, Illinois, 1837-1937 Legislature, once to the Lower House of Congress and twice to the United States Senate. The Commissioners then turned their attention to the selection of the spot, which, for all the years to come, Should be the County Seat of the new-born County. This was no easy task. It took not only clear judgment and courage, but also faith and vision. Several of the very early settlers who had come to this region had chosen a beautiful wooded location which they had named Blooming Grove, and had built homes there. At this time of year the wild fruit trees were in full bloom, the prairie was carpeted by flowers of every hue, and the peace of God seemed to rest over the unturned sod. At first this appeared the logical place for the location of the busy city they hoped soon to see rising on the prairie. Again there was discussion and delay. Then Honorable James Allen, who had been active in urging the formation of the new County, offered to give twenty-two and one-half acres of his own land lying north and west of the tract under consideration. A few miles made little difference in those days, so the offer was accepted and the town received its name. Thus Bloomington came into being. The town was Soon laid out. The twenty-two and one-half acres were divided into twelve squares, the boundaries were located and the streets named. Front Street marked the southern limits of the town; North Street, now called Monroe Street, marked the northern boundary; East Street, the eastern; and West Street, now called Roosevelt Avenue, the western, with a central space reserved for a Court House. Most of the earliest settlers of this region were Christian people who longed for the Christian fellowship and religious instruction and inspira tion to which they had been accustomed. Whenever possible they met in little groups to talk and pray together, looking forward hopefully to the time when there would be churches, schools, and libraries here. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the land of Central Illinois. When ever a new-comer arrived, his denominational preference was one of the first questions asked him. In 1824, before there was even a separate County, a little group of seven had formed the First Methodist Church, and for seven years the only preaching services they had were held in the home of one of their number. By this time there was a small one story Court House, which for four years they rented for their religious services.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the First Baptist Church, Chicago: With the Articles of Faith and Covenant, and a Catalogue of Its Members, January 15th, 1866 IN the year 1832 the american baptist home mis sion society was organized in the city of New York, and among the first of its appointments was that of the Rev. Alfred B. Freeman, to labor as a missionary in Northern Illinois. In August, 1833, when Chicago was a wilderness - when the Indian roamed wild and free where now are paved streets and marble palaces, Mr. Freeman arrived upon the field of his labors, and reared here, upon the shores of Lake Michigan, as much to the wondering gaze of the savage as to the gratified vision of the few disciples then dwelling here, the banner of the Cross. Thanks be unto God, that banner has never been lowered, but full high advanced, has waved above every other device of commerce, arts and learning, gathering under its crimson folds the emigrant Christians of every clime.

George Rogers Clark went to Virginia, and presented plans for the occupancy of Illinois by Americans, to Patrick Henry, Governor of the state. Illinois was then under the jurisdiction of Virginia. Clark receiv ed his instructions in January, 1778, and in February set out for Pittsburgh. He gathered four companies of men, and captured Kaskaskia without shed ding a drop of blood. This signal vic tory owed its bloodless triumph to the fact that the people of Illinois County had a wholesome dread of the Virgin ians, whom they called long knives.

This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Centennial History of the First Baptist Church, 1813-1913 Among those noble men of the wilderness, one of the most noted was Elder David Irish, who preached the first gospel sermon in Cayuga County in 1794. He was born in Dutchess County in 1757 and died in Fleming in 1815. He removed with his family to Scipio in 1794. At that time the great section of our state west and southwest of Oneida and Madison Counties was an almost unbroken wilderness. Elder Irish was the first minister of the gos pel who raised the standard of the cross and preached salva tion by grace to the destitute population of this region. He was instrumental in founding some ten churches in as many settlements and baptized during his ministry persons. He had fortitude and perseverance well-nigh Paul ine. In 1799, being called with some of his brethren of the church in Scipio to assist in organizing a church in Phelps town, Western Hill, the roads at that time being wholly impassable for travel or horseback by reason of the great depth of mud and snow, he encouraged his brethren to under take to go on foot a distance of thirty miles, when all but one accompanied. These infant churches, struggling in the environment of pioneer settlements, rejoiced in their liberty as is evident by the circular of the Cayuga association which met at Palmyra in 1804: We have not to contend with civil rulers for equal rights, nor are we harassed by the civil officer and dragged to prison, or our hard-earned subsistence torn from us under the authority of human law, to feed a voracious and over bearing clergy, established by law and supported by the secular arm. Those dark times of superstition, bigotry and oppression, are to us, in some measure, over, and the bright mom of equal rights dawns upon us. The sun bf righteous.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of First Baptist Church: Centennial Celebration In our effort to prepare a short history of First Baptist Church of Gastonia we begin by looking back briefly at the roots from which this church sprang. But in doing so we are trying not to look so far back that we lose sight of our immediate predecessors in the faith. Therefore we are focusing our attention upon the activities and accomplishments of our Baptist forefathers right here in America. We begin by taking a quick look at a few of the early arrivals of Baptist in this country. We' do not know who the first Baptist was to set foot on American soil. But we' know from American history that many of these early immigrants came here to escape religious persecution in the old countries. Some of them were Baptists. Others became Baptists after coming to America. Among these early arrivals were such Baptist leaders as Roger Williams and John Clarke. Roger Williams was born in Wales in 1598. He received his education at the Universities of Oxford and of Cambridge. He was a Puritan and a Separatist. He spoke out openly against religious intolerance and persecution. For this he himself became a victim of persecution. To escape such persecution he fled to America in 1630.
