THE PRIMATIVE BAPTISTs.
A Sect That Has a Good Many Advo-
Gates I'm This Section
Esro,,, the Roze;ob Ch4.onjcze az

fs From the Raleigh Chronicle.
Edgecombe, probably more than
any county in the State, is the strong
hold of the Primative Baptist church.
In the county there are twelve church
es of this denomination and ten resi-
dent ministers. In some sections of
the State SO little is known of the
faith, the aims, the character Of the
members of this church that few
facts relative to them may not be un-
interesting. The mud-sill of their be-
lief is Predestination. They believe,
and nothing can shake their faith J.
that nan has Little es nothing to, do
with his own salvation They believe
that when man is predestined to be
saved his life is predistined and that
man who lives wicked life is not
elected. They do not believe in Sun
day Schools, although they believe in
teaching their children to read the
bible. They do not believe in For
eign Missions. They think God will
reveal Himself to all nations in His
own good time. They believe in i'm
mersion, in close communion, in a
spiritual manifestation, in brotherly
/ love and they carry out the teaching
of the bible that the church should
settle disputes among the members. IF
two members have law suit they at
| tempt to settle it. This often leads to
no end of trouble and strife. In
Edgecombe it is by-word with the
| merchants that if a man is a Primi-
tive Baptist he will pay his debts.
With the politicians it is known that
if man is PrimativeBaptist he will
vote the Democratic ticket. Having
a personal acquaintance with several
hundred of this faith the writer knows
but one who votes the Republics an
| ticket, and does not recall half doz-
| en- who are not strictly and conscient-
| iously honest. "Pay all thou owest'
is literally interpreted by them.
1t was once believed-and in some
quarters the same belief may still OBJ
tain-~that as church they are op-
posed to educated ministers. Their
position is, that it is not necessary for
a man to be educated to preach, but
! that educated men are more effective
In the town of Wilson two of the most
scholarly men in town areministers of
the Primitive Baptist faith.
In Edgecombe they have a larger
membership than any other denomi-
nation, and very many who hold to
their belief do not belong to the
church.
Their ministers receive no. regular
salary, but the members give them
contributions. They are bitter in
their denunciation of men who preach
for money. They claim theirs as
"the' church and fellowship none
others, although they recognize the
good in the other churches. They
don't believe in revivals, or camp.
meetings, or confrmations
In the main their members are un.
educated but this writer knows quite
number of them who were educated
at the University and other Colleges
of the State, and whose education is
unsurpassed by people of other de
nominations. We are not quite Ger
tain but we believe they do not pub
lish census of their membership
holding that few who hold to the
ancient landmarks make better
church than large membership not
elected and called.
