Excerpt from A History of Baptists in New Jersey Light house men by whom courses have been laid in the crises of our denominational life. These, whether fragments or consecutive records, are not appreciated in the time of their happening, but later are invaluable. Since Morgan Edwards wrote his materials there has not been a historical record of Baptist affairs. Since the Acts of the Apostles, the history of Christianity has been an account of divers' teachings and of sects without number, indicating that Chris tianity later as at the first looses the shackles off of mind and con sciences; sets men to thinking, constituting them independent.
