BROTHERHOOD MAGAZINE PUBLICATIONS As of 2008 Heritage and History 1. The Christian Baptist (1823-30) was edited by Alexander Campbell with emphasis on "A Restoration of the Ancient Order of Things." Campbell's Millennial Harbinger (1830-70) continued this emphasis but moderated to promote the missionary society and similar organizations unauthorized by the ancient order of things. 2. The Gospel Advocate (1855-61, 1865-present) has been edited by Tolbert Fanning, William Lipscomb, David Lipscomb, E.G. Sewell, F.D. Srygley, J.C. McQuiddy, A.B. Lipscomb, H. Leo Boles, James A. Allen, Foy E. Wallace, Jr., John T. Hinds, B.C. Goodpasture, J. Roy Vaughn, Ira North and Guy N. Woods jointly, and F. Furman Kearley. In the early years, the Gospel Advocate was a stalwart in defending the Bible pattern against the onslaught of instrumental music and missionary societies. F.B. Srygley said of "the second generation of writers for the Advocate," "Soft preaching was not characteristic of the preaching of any of them" (Gospel Advocate, 2 Mar. 1939, p. 193). Under Goodpasture (1939-77), the Gospel Advocate began to moderate and drift. The Gospel Advocate became an advocate of many things not found in the gospel such as institutionalism and related practices. 3. The American Christian Review (1856-87), edited by Benjamin Franklin, helped to hold the line against instrumental music and missionary societies in the north and midwest. 4. Lard's Quarterly (1863-68), edited by Moses E. Lard, carried many strong articles and protested any departure from the truth but tried to accommodate the missionary society. 5. The Octograph (1883-87), Octographic Review (1887-1913), Apostolic Way (1914-40), and Apostolic Review (1920-40) were edited by Daniel Sommer, who was influenced greatly by Benjamin Franklin. 6. The Firm Foundation (1884-present) has been edited by Austin McGary, G.H.P. Showalter, Reuel Lemmons, William S. Cline, and H.A. Dobbs. In its early years, it helped hold the line against instrumental music and missionary societies west of the Mississippi River. Lemmons led the Firm Foundation away from the firm foundation of truth on institutionalism and related practices. 7. The Gospel Guardian (1935-36) was edited by Foy E. Wallace, Jr., and the Bible Banner (1938-49) by Foy E., Jr. and Cled E. Wallace jointly, with much help from Roy E. Cogdill beginning in March of 1946. Both were strong papers during the battles over premillennialism and the rising tide of pseudo-unity movements. The Bible Banner openly opposed and restrained the move to get colleges in church budgets. 8. The Gospel Guardian (1949-80) began with Foy E. Wallace, Jr.'s blessings and was edited by Yater Tant, William Wallace, Eugene Britnell, and James W. Adams. Roy E. Cogdill was owner and publisher of the Gospel Guardian during 1949-62, and wrote often in its pages. It focused on defending the Bible pattern against the onslaught of institutionalism and related issues. After the last copy of the Gospel Guardian appeared in December of 1980, it merged with Truth Magazine to form the Guardian of Truth.
9. Truth Magazine (1956-80) has been edited by Bryan Vinson, Jr., Cecil Willis, and Mike Willis. Roy E. Cogdill was close to Cecil Willis and had a significant influence on Truth Magazine until his death in 1985. At first, Truth Magazine focused on modernism in the Chicago land area, where seventeen preachers had been lost in seventeen years. Then, the paper faced the onslaught of institutionalism, and fought back a false unity movement in the 1970s-80s. Under the name Guardian of Truth, it continues to provide a forum for preaching the gospel and defending sound doctrine in the face of current dangerous trend. 10. Searching the Scriptures (1960-92) was first edited by H.E. Phillips and James P. Miller jointly, then by Connie W. Adams. Searching the Scriptures was a strong voice for the truth first in Florida, then in the southeast and finally nationwide. After the last copy appeared in December 1992, it merged with Guardian of Truth. 11. Preceptor Magazine (1950s-present) First editor was Stanley J. Lovett, Current editor is Danny Brown. {Current address; PO Box 22283, Beaumont, TX 77720] A good, sound and up-to-date publication, conservative in content USING OTHER PEOPLE’S STUDY MATERIAL [i.e. writings, references] By Garreth L. Clair Often those of us who write bulletins refer to another persons articles, whether men-women, regardless of political persuasions, and regardless of their religious connections. These references are often sited to make a point or to emphasize a stated position [i.e. Biblical fact]. The use of these items from other books, news articles, magazine publications, or from the internet, in no way should be considered as encouragement or endorsement of their lifestyle, religious positions, or political views. These often used reference works give the writer a creditable source of news information, good bulletin material, and help with the Greek and Hebrew languages as well as help in defining public policy, political views, religious teaching, and social as well as cultural ideals prevalent in our time. I often use the Greek helps of W.E. Vine and Joseph Henry Thayer as well as other Greek and Hebrew lexicons. I also us the commentaries of M. Henry, Adam Clark, B.W Johnson, Dictionaries of Smith, I.S.B.E., Nelson’s, articles and short statements by writers gleaned from the internet, and many others for thoughts in establishing skill in presenting points that may help others understand the ideals I am presenting in the article that I am writing. I have used articles [i.e. parts] of articles found in Baptist publications, Mormon publications, etc as well as articles from U.S.A Today and other newspapers, sometimes I will use quotes from TV preachers or teachers, yet I do not necessarily endorse their social, political, or religious views. FINALLY:
Remember this; the validity of a position rests entirely upon whatever the Holy Scripture says, not upon the work of mankind: 2 John 9-11, ”9 Whosoever Goethe onward and abided not in the teaching [K.J.V. doctrine – glc] of Christ, hath not God: he that abided in the teaching, the same hath both the Father and the Son. 10 If any one cometh unto you, and bringeth not this teaching, receive him not into (your) house, and give him no greeting: 11 for he that giveth him greeting partaketh in his evil works.“ ASV
Remember also: The disciple of our Lord is to do good and teach sound doctrine in everything he says, writes, or lives: Colossians 3:23-24, ”23 whatsoever ye do, work heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men; 24 knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: ye serve the Lord Christ.“ ASV Col 3:17, ”17 And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, (do) all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.“ ASV Phil 4:6-8, ”6 In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.“ ASV Eph 6:8, ”8 knowing that whatsoever good thing each one doeth, the same shall he receive again from the Lord, whether (he be) bond or free.“ ASV Friday, October 27, 2006
