Excerpt from Memoir of Rev. Nathaniel Colver, D.D: With Lectures, Plans of Sermons, Etc At the time of the great Chicago fire, this book was mainly written; the manuscript, with the exception of a few of the chap ters, was in the hands of the printer, and nearly one half of the whole volume had been stereotyped. All this, including the man uscript, was of course destroyed of the printed portions not even the proofs having been preserved. Various causes have delayed the reproduction of what was lost. At length it is given to the public, though with a painful consciousness of many faults in the work, and with the single hope that in the attractions of the topic and the honest intention of the writer some compensation for these may be found.

Not illustrated. 1873 edition. Excerpt: ... Lectures On Romans. lecture I. The Apostle. I. His Birth.--He was born at Tarsus of Jewish parents, was conversant with heathen literature and customs, but finished his education at the feet of Gamaliel, and became versed in all the lore of Judaism. ii. His Conversion and Call to the Ministry.--He was converted suddenly by the almightiness of Jesus Christ from a zealous persecutor to a praying, loving disciple. The peculiarity of his conversion so impressed him with the sovereignty of grace as to show itself in all his after communications through life. iii. He was separated to his work like Jeremiah by the electing grace of God from the womb, and was ordained by the specific directions of the Holy Ghost, and was commissioned directly by Christ. N. B. The election of Matthias was undirected of God. The apostolic office is one of power and authority--official authority, and one to be filled by no human election, but by Divine appointment, ends with the appointed incumbent, and has no successor. lecture ii. Rom. I. a.--Christ the Burden of all Scriptural Prophecy. Prop.--Christ the crucified is the Christ upon whom all Scriptural Prophecy rests, and is declared to be "the Son of God with power," etc. I.

He is the Shiloh who it was promised should come before the tribe of Judah should cease in its patriarchal government. See Gen. xlxix. 10. iii. He is the sacrifical lamb. See Ex. xii. 46, cf.

Baptists have a long and rich heritage of congregational song. The hymns Baptists have sung and the books from which they have sung them have been shaping forces for Baptist theology, worship, and piety. Baptist authors and composers have provided songs that have made an impact not only among Baptists in America but also across denominational and geographic lines. Congregational singing continues to be a key component of Baptist worship in the twenty-first century. Beginning with an overview of the British background, this book is a survey of the history of Baptist hymnody in America from Baptist beginnings in the New World to the present. Its intent is to help the reader better understand the background against which current Baptist congregational song practices operate. Unlike earlier writings on the subject, this book provides both comprehensive coverage and a continuous narrative. It gives thorough attention to the major Baptist bodies in America as well as calling attention to the contributions of significant smaller groups. The British Baptist background is dealt with in an introductory section. The book also includes many texts and tunes as illustrations of the topics being discussed and focuses on some of the contributions of Baptist authors and composers to the repertory of congregational song.
