I Eor--several years prior to 1776, the
iBaptists of (Virginia discussed the ex-
podiency of adopting the, episcopal

was thorough, and the conclusion was
arrived at in 1776, by the General As-
sociation of Virginia Baptists. By a
unanimous vote they declared that a white,
episcopacy had been established in
the church by Christ,' the Head, and
that' the office of bishop “Was now in
use in Christs ChnrchZ Having es-
tablished this they proceeded to estab-
lish the office and fill it by appoint-iSTONtEHAM,

elected the first bishop, and all that

James river, was declared tV be his

A Bit *f Church History
Eusebius inrorms us that there were
bishops in every church. A catalogue
of bishops is given, who are said to
succeed each other in the several
churches. It would seem by this, that
they reckoned the bishop as a princi-
ple officer, or chief of the churches,
, including other elders, which though
as an order was the same with elders
or presbyters, yet as a matter of con-
venience, became a special title, in
time, of him who had the oversight
and administration of discipline

(The author‘goes on to say that it was was thorough, and tl
•the complete and effective?-* organiza-
tion of the church that brought
against it the suspicion and persecu-
tion of Rome) (Ten Epochs of Churclf
History (p 151 by C. L. Wells, Brof.

“Of offices concerning church gov-
ernment, the next In rank to that \>f
tiie apostles was the office of Over-
seers or Elders, more usually known
as Bishops of Presbyters. These terms
are used In the N. T. a equivalent, the
former donating the duties and the la^
ter the rank in office. The history of
the church leaves us no room tdx4«ubt
that on the death of the #pos(Ies, or
perhaps at an earlier period (and in
either case, by their direction)' one
among the Presbyters of each church
was selected to preside over the rest,
and to him was applied emphatically
the title o fthe Bishop or Overseer,
which had previously belonged equally
to all; thus be became in reality (what
all; thus he became in i
he was sometimes called) the succes-
sor of the apostles, as exercising
(though in a lower degree) that func-
tion of government which had former-
ly belonged to them. (Life and Epis-
tles of the Apostle Paul. Conybeare
& 'Howsor|, p. 378).
‘The first broad fact we notice is
that though we found' no trace of the
episcopacy In the New Testament, it is
universal a ceutury later. By this
time every church has its bishop, and
Irenaeus can speak "of the episcopacy
as ‘the ancient custom of the church.’
How is the change to be accounted
for?
The short answer made by some is
that the Apostles gave command for
every church to have a bishop.' If no
such command can he found in the N.,
T. it must have been given notwith-
standing. But an a matter of fact, did
they give any such command? There is
a good deal to be said Mr the ..theory
that they did. It explains the whole
series of the facts before? us, like the
spread of the episcopacy in Asin and
elsewhere, and the Inslstance of Ig-
natius.
It gives a reason for the importance
attached to the list of bishop* 'given
It also
explains why later ages from Irenaeus
onward so firmly believed in the di-
vine sanction for the episcopacy. Put-
ting these facts together, they seem de-
cisive that the episcopacy dated back
to apostolic times, and is at any rate
not contrary to any apostolic ordi-
nance that was meant to be perma-
nent: (Early Church History, Gwat-
kln. Prof. Bccl. Hist. Cambridge U.)
The General Baptists emphasized

er than chufeb independency. Several
years before 1671 a General Assembly;
of the churches of the entire connec-
tion had been formed, which usually
met in .-London. The General z As-
sembly became virtually a court of
appeal from churcties and associa-
tions. An agrleved member of g

distribution of alms—.
this need more than any other
gave rise to the earliest bishops,
the requirements of eclesiastlcal
cipline also contributed to the rise of
bishops, making necessary the appoint-
ment of men charged with this spe-
cial responsibility—. The bishops thus
constituted the successors, or better
I he substitutes of the apostles, proph-
ets‘and teachers—. They owed their
existence to the fact that men espe-
cially inspired were not always« on
hand, and could therefore not be de-
pended upon by the Christians of any
particular city for needed direction
and leadership. But it goes without
saying that such men were found
among those who were oldest, not nec
essarily in years, but in length of
Christian service. The truth is, that
though all bishops were elders,—not
’ all elders were bishops by any means.
(Apostolic Age, by McGiffert, P. 659-
2).
The Episcopal system. “It was a
gradual growth. In gradation of cler-
ical office, recognized by the Nicene
Council, were deacons, presbyters,
bishops, rural bishops, archbishops,
and metro|iolitans. Aerins (4th cen-
iury) denied the superiority of bish-
ops over presbyters. (Blackburn’s
Hlstpry of the Christian Church p. 97)
