all others will have planted themselves on the whole truth and nothing but the truth as it is plainly in the New Testament, To this end let us cultivate more vital piety, more liberality of heart and fervency of prayer for true pastors and all other faithful preachers, for home and foreign missions, for educational and charitable institutions, less conformity to the world, stricter discipline in our churches, less compromise with the false liberality of an infidel and immoral age, more consecration and faithfulness of the ministry, and a more eager and loving hastening and “LOOKING FOR THAT BLESSED HOPE, AND THE GLORIOUS APPEARING OF THE GREAT GOD AND OUR SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.”
CHAPTER 29. — ST. PATRICK A BAPTIST. The following summarizes the facts as to St. Patrick, and proves he was a Baptist: f1071 The year of St. Patrick’s birth is variously assigned to the years 377 and 387, the latter being the more probable date. His original name is said to have been Succat Patricus, being the Roman appelative by which he was known. The exact place of his birth is uncertain. It was somewhere in Britain. In the sixteenth year of his age, while on his father’s farm, with a number of others, he was seized and carried by a band of pirates into Ireland, and there sold to a petty chief. In his service he remained six years. At the expiration of this time he succeeded in escaping. He was “brought up in a Christian family in Britain, and the truth which saved him when a youthful slave in pagan Ireland was taught him in the godly home of Deacon Calpurnius, his father, and in the church of which he was a member and officer.” On his escape from Ireland he was twenty-one years of age. Being a stronger Christian the Lord soon called him back to Ireland as the missionary for that blinded country. About this time, or before it, a missionary named Coleman, established a church in Ireland. Some think that “in the south of Ireland, from some very remote period,” “christian congregations had existed.” Usher puts Patrick’s death at A.D. 493 — making his life a long and useful life, and his age, at the time of his death, over one hundred years. The Bellandists make his death earlier — A.D. 460. Dr. Todd inclines to Usher’s date. According to accounts of his Irish biographers, he, with his own hands, baptized 12,000 persons and founded 365 churches. Within the last few years antiquarian scholars have succeeded in stripping his history of much of the Romish fables. The more this has been done, the more he stands out as a Baptist. Among others I mention the following points of history: 1. At the time of St. Patrick the Romish church was only en embryo. 2. In St. Patrick’s time the authority of the bishop of Rome was not generally recognized. 3. There is no history to sustain the Romish claim that Patrick was sent to Ireland by “Pope Celistine.” (1.)
