MISSION BOARDS
C. H. Cayce,
But suppose you tell us what board sent Paul to Rome? By the authority of what board was he being sent when he was shipwrecked and escaped on the island of Melita? What board sent Peter to the house of Cornelius? Give us book, chapter and verse for your Sunday school, B. Y. P. U., and various other societies you have? You are not Bible Baptists unless you have Scripture authority for these things – and this you do not have. Will you please tell us where and when the first missionary board was formed among the Baptists? Did we not tell the truth about it being in 1792? Can you show one before that date? If you could, we suppose you would have done so. Unless you can show it, it follows that you are not the old order of Baptists – hence not primitive.
