THs BArTIsr CHURCH IN BURLNGrox.-A
writer in the Christian Times. thas records
the noticeable and cheering history Of the
Baptist Church and Society IN this city:
The Baptist Church in Burlington, organized
IN 1884 with eleven members, was commenced
with small means, and under great discourage
ments- For more than twenty years il received
the assistance Of the State Convention. This
band Of disciples, possessed Of little Of the
wealth of this world, were rich in faith. Not
in vain did they labor, and pray, and wal, for
God to build up His Zion. Two precious re-
vivals previous to 1860 resulted in the CONVEX
sion of many and large accessions to the church
But still they were poor, for previous to 1860
the whole sssessable property Of the members
amounted to scarcely $4,000. About that time
two brethren from New Hampshire, who estab-
lished themselves in Burlington, IN the lumber
trade, united with the chnrch. Success 50 far
crowned the enterprise Of these brethren that
their joint net profits in the year 1864 amounted
to over a hundred thousand dollars. The
church needed a new house Of worship In
March, 1866, new house was completed and
furnished throughout at cost OF S33, 900. and
paid for in full before il was dedicated OF this
amount the two brethren above mentioned con-
tributed to the object se God had prospered
them; the one. L. Barnes. Esq, S1l, 900, the
other Dea- NJ. Davis, $4,000. good example
for successful business men in other churches to
follow, instead of permitting the ark Of God in
the churches to which they belong to "duell
within curtains, +" or mourning a large debt, as
some do in the erection Of house Of worship.
Other members Of the church are entitled to
equal credit with those named, for the work
was accomplished BY an all-perYsding spirit
Of selfsacrifce for Christ. The church has al
present no pastor. Rev. Mr.. Foster having re-
/ signed his charge in February last. In June,
Rev. A. b. Earle, the evangelist, spent tive
weeks with the church, and his labors were
blessed With the conversion Of twenty persons OF
more. The seed soSn in prayers and tear.
during the early history Of the church is nov
reaPed in sheaves Of joy.
