One of the chief promoters of the great religious movement in modern times was Walter Scott. His ancestry as well as his name was the same as the renowned novelist of the last century. Dr. Richardson says: "It was about this period also that he wrote his Essays on Teaching Christianity, in the first volume of the Christian Baptist, in which he, over the signature of 'Philip,' first presented and developed the true basis and most important point in the Reformation, to-wit: The belief in Christ as the Son of God, the Christian faith and bond of Christian Union. Brother Scott really laid the true and distinctive foundation of the Reformation." Biographies: Life of Elder Walter Scott with Sketches of His Fellow-Laborers
by William Baxter Tant preached all over the nation. Gospel preachers were few and far between. He was in great demand, ordinarily receiving more than 200 invitations per year for gospel meetings. His record was 269 invitations in a single year. Obviously, he could not hold more than 20 or 25 of these, since most of them were of two weeks' duration. One day, sitting quietly in his chair, he said, "There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God . . . and I long for that rest! " This was the last scripture that he was heard to quote. Below are a few of his works.
He is not a graduate of any college, and yet he is regarded as one of the really learned men of the West. He has made every man his teacher, and acknowledges himself as particularly indebted to Professor's Fisher, Hand and Benton, aside from his teachers in Lexington. He is thought to have read and studied widely and deeply. He has served as lecturer and teacher at Clear Lake and Lake Minnetonka, the Chautauqua of the Northwest. He was President of the Iowa Christian Missionary Convention for five years, and of the General Convention for one. His unanimous choice by the Board of Trustees of Drake University as teacher of sacred literature indicates the confidence of the brethren of that State in his ability. In the many public debates he has had, he is regarded as a fair and able disputant. He has thus considered Mormonism, Methodism, Baptistism, Soulsleepingism, Adventism, Spiritualism, Atheism, Quakerism, etc., etc. Synopses of two of his debates have been printed, one with Leonard Parker, Methodist, which is now out of print, and the other with W. F. Jamieson, Spiritist and infidel. Below are some of his works.
Mr. Sweeney's mind was rhetorical rather than logical; and his addresses were suited, and intended, to persuade rather than to convince, to attract rather than to compel to the admission of the truth. He equipped himself well with the logic of facts, and always used it effectively. His imagination was fervid yet chastened, and his "personal magnetism" extraordinary. In the pulpit he was natural and self-possessed; and his style was popular and pleasing. Below are a few of his works. Biographies: A Biography of Z. T. Sweeney
by Robert E. Reeves Henry Leo Boles was preeminently a teacher. In the fall of 1906, he became a member of the faculty of David Lipscomb College (then Nashville Bible School). While doing regular work as teacher, he took lessons daily in the Bible under the lamented David Lipscomb. For seven years he taught philosophy and mathematics but, on becoming president of David Lipscomb College in 1913, he began to give more and more time to teaching the Bible. It was a rare treat to attend his classes in logic, ethics, and evidences of Christianity. He taught his students the Bible-not merely some course related to the book, but the book itself. His students were taught to oppose all modernism, speculation and denominational-ism. About 1,500 young preachers received instruction in his classes, besides hundreds of students who never became preachers. Below are some of his works. Biographies:
