In introducing the following pages to the public, it is proper that we give a succinct statement of the origin of the discussion, as well as the reasons which have induced us to publish it in this form. In the month of A pril, 1855, an article was copied into the columns of the South Western Baptist, from the Western Watchman, entitled Episcopal Methodism, anti-A merican. T he article from the Western Watchman is inserted in the Tolume, because of its connection with the discussion. The pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Tuskegee, tne Rev. E. J. Hamill, feeling that injustice had been done his denomination in that article, wrote a reply to it, which reply was countersigned by three members of his charge, and offered it to the editors of the Baptist, for publication. It was cheerfully accepted; and as the junior editor of that paper, Rev. J. M. Watt, was about retiring from his position, it devolved upon the senior editor to rejoin to that communication. The editor felt called upon, in terms which he could not mistake, cither to repudiate the article from the Watchman, or to defend it. And while he freely acknowledged that there was a portion of that article obnoxious to the charge of injustice, from which he cheerfully withdrew any implied endorsement which its simple republication involved, he at the same time felt bound to maintain, that the main scope of the argument it contained, was subject to no such charge, and could be, in his opinion, successfully maintained. (P erhaps it is due to the editor, to state, that the article from the Watchman was copied by his junior associate, and in print some time before he saw it.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the contentious debate between Episcopal Methodism and Baptist polity, arguing that the former is not inherently anti-republican or anti-democratic. The author begins by examining the origins of both systems, tracing their development from their inception. He then compares the two systems in detail, arguing that many of the perceived differences are more apparent than real. He contends that the Methodist system is as democratic as the Baptist system, but that it has a more orderly structure that allows for greater efficiency. The author concludes by arguing that both systems have their strengths and weaknesses, but that the Methodist system is ultimately better suited to the needs of a large and growing denomination. It offers a fascinating and nuanced look at the history and theology of two of the most important denominations in American history.
