The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1895-10-08

And now, nv friends, [ wish to close
nv remarks by way OF emphasizing
the Importance of every jot or little
the Scriptures have to say on this sub
iect The Bible principle of church
Government. so far as mans side of it
:, c,ncerned. is evidently republican,
nure and simple. democracy and
| Populism stand for the same thing.
In the evolution OF things, as we now
see them about US in the world, R9pub
Iicanism is evidently the gravitation
principle under which the riven powers
of church and State respectively are
uniforming themselves preparatory to
their nuptial reception into the millen
NAL kingdom of their common Lord.
The ideal Elder and Senator, therefore,
hold most illustrious and critical posi-
tions, as officially they look for and
hasten unto the second coming of
Christ. Presbyterianism. though far
in the lead of both reformation and
evangelization, has as yet attained only
middle ground between Prelacy and
virtual Presbyterianism or R9publi,
canism. Imperfect as our system of
government is, see how gloriously it
~operateth as a leavening principle in
unifOrming the governments of men,.
The Reformation accomplished won
ders in the outset, but we have not
sho wn ourselves worthy sons of such
noble SHES in pushing forward the
grand enterpris9 t. it's contamination,
as we should have done. Let us then
take fresh courage, put shoulder anew
to the wheel of r formation, and never
stop till Presbyterianism is thoroughly
Presbyterialized. Then, and not till
then, shall we exhibit to the world a
model form of government that for
perfection can be neither gainsaid nor
denied. IG becometh all churches to
overhaul their creeds from time to
time, and see it, in the fuller blaze of
Scriptural intelligence, they still accord
with inspired truth. But it specially
becometh Preebyterians, as the mani
fest forerunner of the Church's fourth
and most glorious dispers alton, to look
we'll to the matter Of her undergirding
principles, and see that her every officer
is panopIied with the full authority of
Gods word. Jos K. RANKIN.
