The New Directory for Baptist Churches E. T. Hiscox

In presenting a new edition of Dr. Hiscox svaluable work to our churches, the publishers take pleasure in saying that the New Directory has been everywhere welcomed with approval and commendation by both pastors and people. Our denominational journals have uniformly given it very high praise. To our knowledge there has been no exception. Some of the authors previous manuals have been for many years in use, have enjoyed a wide circulation, and have largely contributed to the harmony, unity, and good order of our churches. Not a few manuals by other authors on specific departments of our faith and practice, have also been used, many of them of special value, and some of which are still doing good service. But nothing so comprehensive and so complete as the New Directory has ever before been offered to our people. A few testimonials from some of our prominent men, and some of our leading journals, are introduced, and certify to the estimation in which the book is held by them. A few changes and additions have been made in the text of the present edition, and a carefully prepared index has been appended, which will add much to its value. We commend with increased confidence the New Directory to the favor of American Baptists, as a sound and scriptural exposition of New Testament church polity, as represented by our faith and practice. In addition we express the hope that its use will be still more largely increased as a conservative and an educating force among our churches.
