The Reformation was an outgrowth of the Church in the Wilderness. We owe indirectly, at least, the Constitution of the United States to this noble army. The light, liberty, education, and civilization we possess today carne because of the firm foundations laid in the convictions and courage of the heroes of the wilderness church.

CHAPTER - Muir, The Arrested Reformation , p. 49. 2 O’Leary, The Syriac Church and Fathers , p. 29. 3 After having long contemplated a visit to these silent cities of Syria, the author several years ago was happily able to personally study their magnificent sites. After visiting the district on the other side of the Jordan River and in the area about Damascus, the party came to Beyrouth in Syria. Here the author secured the assistance of Dr.

William Lesovsky, a linguist scholar in Arabic, English, French, and German. Arrangements were made to contact the leading American and Syrian scholars of Beyrouth. Since Syria was then a French mandate, contact was first made with the French Director of Antiquities. He was well informed concerning these silent cities, and from him it was learned that there were about one hundred of them, which would require much study to investigate thoroughly. We arranged to examine those most representatively Christian and most important from the standpoint of architecture and sanitation. The director advised that we start with El-Bara, and, although he gave us good highway directions, we suffered the usual transportation difficulties experienced by travelers with native automobile drivers. When we reached Oroum-El- Djoz, the sun was setting; and, as it was the month of February, the weather was cold in the Syrian mountains. Here we found the signboard pointing out across the country to El-Bara, but our problem was how to reach it. As it was late, we spent the night with a native, now a Protestant teacher of English, returning about eight o’clock the following morning to the sign pointing into the forest toward El-Bara.

After driving through mudholes, out of which we were obliged to push the car, and over rocky roads, we emerged at last into a valley. Upon the hill to our right we could see the Mohammedan mud village, and in the valley lay the remains of the ancient city of El-Bara. We were anxious to inspect the ruins immediately, but prudence advised us to see the moukdhar first. As we visited with this chief official of the village a crowd gathered. Finally, we received permission to inspect the ruins of El-Bara. 4 Foakes-Jackson, The History of the Christian Church , p. 33. 5 Matthew 4:25; Mark 5:20; 7:31; Burgon and Miller, The Traditional Text of the Holy Gospels , p. 123, and note 1. 6 Schurer, A History of the Jewish People in the Time of Christ , 2 div. vol. 1, pp. 29-56. Although he had read much regarding Decapolis, the writer was surprised on visiting these places to behold the grandeur and the magnificence of the remains which still stand. Even now the traveler who goes eastward from the Jordan River is deeply impressed by the magnificent scenery of the area. 7 Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History , b. 3, ch. 5, p. 138, found in Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers . 8 Ibid., b. 4, ch. 6; b. 5, ch. 12. 9 O’Leary, The Syriac Church and Fathers , pp. 28, 29. 10 Ibid., p. 34. 11 Stokes, Ireland and the Celtic Church , p. 242. 12 Adeney, The Greek and Eastern Churches , p. 181. 13 Stokes, Ireland and the Celtic Church , p. 243. 14 Century Magazine , vol. 66, N.

We constantly use the term Church of the East to designate that great communion which, for centuries, extended from the Euphrates River to Persia, India, central Asia, and the Orient. Many writers call it the Nestorian Church, which is incorrect and is a misnomer. It is often called the Assyrian Church.

To use the term Church of the East to apply to the Greek Orthodox Church is confusing. 18 The Nation , vol. 95, p. 260. 19 The author spent some time at El-Bara taking many photographs. From here the party visited Dalozza, where we saw a large ruin of what is said to have been the most beautiful private house in Syria. It seems to have been a commodious villa planned for the use of a single household. Here it was possible to visualize the suburban villas of those first Christian Syrians with their beautiful landscapes and their magnificent views. 20 Prentice, Publication of an American Archeological Expedition to Syria , part 3. The last inscription is on a church building in Syria. 21 The author visited and inspected nine of these deserted cities. At El- Bara he found himself in a dangerous situation. For more than an hour he was in the midst of an intertribal war. The fact that these silent cities lie far from the main lines of travel and in the midst of an excitable Mohammedan population undoubtedly accounts for the fact that for centuries they have been practically unvisited and unknown. 22 See the author’s discussion in Chapter 10, “How the Church Was Driven into the Wilderness.” 23 The Catholic Encyclopedia , art. “Calendar.” 24 The Catholic Encyclopedia , art. “Calendar.”

CHAPTER - Muir, The Arrested Reformation , p. 13. 2 Faber, The Ancient Vallenses and Albigenses , pp. 275-279. 3 Jerome, Against Vigilantius , found in Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers , 2d Series, vol. 6, p. 418. Jerome here states that Vigilantins was born in Convenae, southern Gaul. This city bore also the name Lyons, whose pronunciation is like the English word Leo. Obviously, therefore, he would be called Vigilantius the Leonist. The Waldenses are often also called Leonists. It has been concluded, therefore, that the appellation “Leonists” is derived from Vigilantius. 4 Gilly, Vigilantius and His Times , pp. 161, 162. 5 Ibid., pp. 163, 164. 6 Ibid., pp. 169, 170. 7 Gordon, “World Healers , p. 469, note 3. 8 Schaff, History of the Christian Church , vol. 2, 2d Period, par. 173, pp. 719-723. 9 Gordon, “World Healers ,” pp. 237, 238. 10 Ibid. pp. 210, 211. 11 Allix, The Ancient Churches of Piedmont , p. 109. 12 Faber, The Ancient Vallenses and Albigenses , pp. 293, 294. 13 M’Clintock and Strong, Cyclopedia , art. “Helvidius.” The statement that Helvidius was the pupil of Auxentius opens up wide considerations, when we remember that Ambrose was the successor of Auxentius in the bishopric of Milan. Ambrose sanctified the seventh day as the Sabbath (as he himself says). Ambrose had great influence in Spain, which was also observing the Saturday Sabbath, as we show later. It was Ambrose who recorded with rejoicing the supervising trip of the illustrious leader of Abyssinia, Bishop Musaen (and Abyssinia observed the Sabbath for seventeen hundred years) who toured the churches of India and China. Since Helvidius and Vigilantius were practically contemporaneous and preachers of the same message, it is safe to conclude that Auxentius, Ambrose, Helvidius, and Vigilantius were Sabbathkeepers. These facts link together Spain, northern Italy, Abyssinia, India, central Asia, and China in Sabbathkeeping. All the foregoing events occurred close to A. D. 400. It is interesting to note that Pope Innocent I, within fifteen years after this date, passed a law which required fasting on Saturday in order to brand its sacredness with austerity instead of joy. 14 Jerome, Against Helvidius , found in Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers , 2d Series, vol. 6, p. 338. 15 Gilly, Vigilantius and His Times , p. 246. 16 M’Clintock and Strong, Cyclopedia , art. “Jovinian.” 17 Newman, A Manual of Church History , vol. l, p. 376. 18 Beuzart, Les Heresies , p. 470. 19 Jerome, Against Jovinian , found in Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers , 2d Series, vol. 6, p. 348. 20 Gilly, Vigilantius and His Times , p. 99. 21 Gilly, Vigilantius and His Times , p. 116. 22 Ibid., p. 231.

The evil however was not equally grievous in all the countries of Europe; for in several of them, through the influence of different causes, some shadow of pristine liberty and customs was preserved. As Hildebrand introduced a new code of ecclesiastical law, he would have introduced also a new code of civil law, if he could have accomplished fully his designs. For he wished to reduce all kingdoms into fiefs of St. Peter, i.e., of the Roman pontiffs; and to subject all causes of kings and princes, and the interests of the whole world, to the arbitrament of an assembly of bishops, who should meet annually at Rome.” —-Mosheim, Institutes of Ecclesiastical History , b. 3, cent. 11, pt. 2, ch. 2, par. 10. 53 Muston, The Israel of the Alps , vol. 1, pp. 3, 14, note 1. 54 See Peter of Cluny, Tractatus Contra Petrobrussianos , found in Migne, Patrologia Latina , vol. 189, pp. 720-850. 55 White, Bishop of Eli, A Treatise on the Sabbath Day , p. 8, found in Fisher, Tracts on the Sabbath . 56 Gui, Manuel d’ Inquisiteur , vol. 1, p. 37.

In 370 Abyssinian Christianity (a Sabbathkeeping church) was so popular that its famous director, Musaeus, traveled extensively in the East promoting the church in Arabia, Persia, India, and China. In 410 Isaac, supreme director of the Church of the East, held a world council, — stimulated, some think, by the trip of Musaeus, — attended by eastern delegates from forty grand metropolitan divisions. In 411 he appointed a metropolitan director for China. These churches were sanctifying the seventh day, as can be seen by the famous testimonies of Socrates and Sozomen, Roman Catholic historians (c. A.D. 450), that all the churches throughout the world sanctified Saturday except Rome and Alexandria, which two alone exalted Sunday. A century later (c. A.D. 540) Cosmas, the celebrated world traveler, a member of the great Church of the East, testified to the multiplied number of churches of his faith he had seen in India and central Asia and to those he had learned about in Scythia and China. We wrote in previous pages of the Sabbathkeeping Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and English Churches in the British Isles during these same centuries and down to 1200. We dwelt upon the Paulicians, Petrobrusians, Passagians, Waldenses, Insabbatati, as great Sabbathkeeping bodies of Europe down to 1250. We wrote of the sabbatarians in Bohemia, Transylvania, England, and Holland between 1250 and 1600, as authenticated by Cox, Jones, Allix, and William of Neuburg. We have mentioned the innumerable Sabbath-keeping churches among the Greeks, Abyssinians, Armenians, Maronites, Jacobites, Scythians, and the great Church of the East (also from A.D. 1250 to 1600) with supporting evidence from competent authorities.

The doctrines of all these Sabbathkeeping bodies throughout the centuries were comparatively pure, and the lives of their members were simple and holy.
