THEIR HISTORY.
Early in the present century,
movement began in the various
churches throughout Great Britain,
Canada and the United States, whose
far-reachiDg issues this age is unable
TO determine. Men had become dis
satisfied respecting the Scrptural au
thority of human creeds and ordin-
ances and the utterauces of legislative
councils. They longed for return
to the primitive faith and practice of
the early church, and to this end in.
vited the cooperation of all sincere
Christians. Pre- eminent among the
reformers was Alexander Campbell.
His comprehensive mind grasped the
difficulties Of modern Christianity and
quickly solved them by the applica-
ton Of a graat fundamental principle.
That principle was the sovereign au.
thority of the Lord Jesus Christ over
all human tribunals. Campbell was
not the founder Of sect, much less
of a church. He was simply dis
coverer OF the old Bible truth that
had lain beneath the rubbish Of man.
made creeds for centuries. His great
purpose was TO restore to the world.
Primitive Christianity in faith and
practice; in letter and in spirit. He
desired that Christians might be uni
ted on the foundation Of the Lord, the
one faith, aud the one baptism. He
saw that human names and human
rites were an insurmountable barrier
TO Christian union. He therefore
plead for a restoration of Bible names
for Bible things. Where the Bible
spoke, he spoke; and where the Bible
was silent, he was silent.
The appeal thus made was not in
vain, and thousands soon responded
by assOciating themselves on the Bi.
bic alone. Since that time the Disci
piles have grown rapidly, and now
number over 100000. They have
numerous institutions of learning,
and issue various publications, all
pleading for return to the faith and
nractice of Primitive Christianity.

way rhaS Stevens Became rsstOtniec


During the whole time of his resi- q.
dence in Lancaster, Mr.. Stevens was
an uncompromising "teetotaler." This
is the history of his resolution to alb
stain; While he was in Gettysburg he
was member of a select circle who
we're accustomed to meet around at
each Others houses and spend the eve
ming in playing whist and drinking
wine and choice liquors. One evening
one OF the party, great tavorite, who
was cashier OF the bank in Gettys-
burg, becoming a little inebriated, was
escorted home by two of his friends,
who. finding his latch.key, let him in
and left him in the entry, supposing
that he could find his way up stairs.
In the morning when his wife came
down she found him lying upon the
entry floor dead. He had had an at
tack Of apoplexy during the night.
When Mr.. Stevens heard of ii he
went into his cellar with hatchet,
broke open the heads of his wine and
whisky barrels, and would never taste
any thing Of the sort afterward.
