Hiscox’s New Directory for Baptist Churches, which itself had been revised by Dr. Hiscox from an earlier work. In preparing the present volume, the editors have corrected factual information which was no longer accurate, added material on subjects which have become pertinent since the author’s day, eliminated sections which were no longer relevant, and improved the readability of the book by simplifying language, eliminating duplications, and improving the typography. Yet the essence of the earlier book is preserved. The Hiscox Guide has been prepared with the approval of Dr. Hiscox’s heirs, and there is every reason to believe that it will be warmly welcomed by those who have found this author’s books helpful through the years. COVER DESIGNED BY A. W. LIMONT Edward T. Hiscox, D.D. was born in West erly, Rhode Island, in 1814, and was bap- tized at the age of twenty. After graduating from Madison University in 1843, he served successively as the pastor of Baptist churches in a number of northeastern cities, includ- ing Westerly, Rhode Island, Norwich, Con- necticut, New York City, and Mount Ver- non, New York. Cathcart’s Baptist Encyclopaedia described him as ‘an able preacher and a prolific writer.”” Dr. Hiscox died in 1901. Best known of his writings was The Baptist Church Directory, which he revised as The New Directory for Baptist Churches and which appears now as The Hiscox Guide for Baptist Churches. He also wrote The Standard Manual for Baptist Churches (a shorter form of the Directory), The Star Book for Ministers, and a number of other volumes which achieved great popularity in their day.

The larger ones, as a rule, provide a means of conducting home and foreign mission work and a way of publishing curriculum materials for Christian education, and many of the smaller ones do the same. Other functions include may Christian social concern, evangelism, urban and rural church work, ministry to service men, Christian education CHURCH’S 131 WITNESS Other Relationships Some Baptist churches choose to maintain an interdenominational fellowship through the large ecumenical bodies known as the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A., the World Council of Churches, and the state and local councils which are related to these larger bodies. Others prefer a more restricted fellowship such as the National Association of Evangelicals, the American Council of Christian Churches, and the International eration with schools, colleges, and campus Christian Council of Christian Churches. Some will not associate as churches in any way with any non-Baptist churches, but do not object to their pastors’ partici- 4.

Still others object to any inter- program planning, ministerial pension fund, coopwork, and many other services to the local church. are to be found in the United found on all the continents States, they in the world, may be and esti- mates as to their number usually come to about twenty-four millions. Not all the world’s Baptists feel closely enough akin to one another to maintain fellowship, but the vast majority participate in the Baptist World Alliance, a rather loosely pation in interdenominational ministerial fellowships or other activities which do not involve the denominational fellowship at all. All in all, it must be said that Baptists have no single, clear voice in this matter, and that each church acts according to its own best understanding of the will of Christ. federated body established in 1905 which holds a world congress every five years (and a world youth congress during the intervening period) except when pre- vented from doing so by international tensions. ‘The Baptist World Alliance also maintains a headquarters in Washington, D. C., through which various actions to strengthen the world fellowship of Baptists are taken from time to time. ST 1 Stet.
