Benedict, Bennett and Peck ; and also bythe Rev. Messrs. Craps, Bates, Frey, Brown, Parmelee, Smith, Hinton, Pengilly, andothers ; by the Baptist Register for 1852, and the Baptist Almanac for 1854.

Wehave given them the name they themselvesclaim ; but those who take very differentviews of theological truth from them, stillconsider themselves as representing theoldest views of their fathers. By otherBaptists, this body is frequently calledAnti-mission Baptists, or Anti-effort Bap-tists, while they themselves wish to becalled Old School Baptists, to distinguishthem from the Mission Baptists, on the onehand, and from what are termed the Re-formed Baptists, or Campbellites, on theother.
