They immediately requested he publish it, but it came off the press in late December 1809. Presumably they printed sufficient copies for each member, however there is no surviving documentation of the extent of the press run, only a note in the preface that paper shortages delayed publication. \u00a0The Christian Association had perhaps a few dozen members.\u00a0 In 1809 the town of Washington itself was a village of only 500 souls.\u00a0 Like so many tracts of the time, it was produced out of a moment, for the moment.\u00a0 While the movement the <em>D&amp;A<\/em> ignited steadily made headway, the document itself was not widely known apparently because it was not widely accessible.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>D&amp;A<\/em> consists of three parts: the brief Declaration describes the establishment and aims of the Christian Association; the extensive Address \u201cto all that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity, throughout all the Churches\u201d establishes the basis upon which all believers may enjoy their unity in Christ.\u00a0 It contains thirteen propositions \u201cdesigned for opening up the way, that we may come fairly and firmly to original ground upon clear and certain premises, and take up things just as the Apostles left them, that, thus disentangled from the accruing embarrassments of intervening ages, we may stand with evidence upon the same ground on which the Church stood at the beginning.\u201d Finally, in the Appendix Campbell anticipates objections to his proposals and in a Postscript he announces immediate next steps that the Association should take.<\/p>\n<p>How, then, did a document which was so obscure even when it was first published ignite what has become a global movement?\u00a0 The short answer has long been one of the great stories of Restoration lore.\u00a0 Thomas Campbell emigrated from Ireland to America in 1807, with plans for his family to join him soon thereafter.\u00a0 After a long unplanned delay and stopover in Glasgow, they arrived in America in late September 1809 and reunited with Thomas in early October.\u00a0 During the months they were apart, all felt the brunt of the divisions among Presbyterians: Thomas in Pennsylvania and Alexander in Glasgow.\u00a0 When they reunited and Thomas showed him the galley proofs of the <em>D&amp;A<\/em>, Alexander resolved to enter the ministry to devote the remainder of his life to the principles his father articulated.<\/p>\n<p>The copy displayed here is one of only six extant.\u00a0 The one held in the Campbell Family Papers at Bethany College could be the galley proof which Alexander Campbell read upon his arrival in Pennsylvania in October 1809.\u00a0 Other copies are held by American Antiquarian Society (Worcester, MA), Presbyterian Historical Society (Philadelphia), Reformed Presbyterian Seminary (Pittsburgh), and the University of Toronto.\u00a0 One copy was held at Overdale College, Birmingham, England, in the mid-twentieth century but has since been lost.<\/p>\n<p>ACU Special Collections acquired this copy from the David Earl and Katherine Neely Burford family (Brownsville, TN), August 18, 2021.\u00a0 Its provenance begins with a C.

F. L. Rowe: Cincinnati, 1908.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At a basic level this historical consciousness, at least among editors and publishers, continued unabated well into the twentieth century, as a third anthology illustrates.\u00a0 It, too, excerpts the <em>D&amp;A <\/em>to support editor John Allen\u2019s Hudson\u2019s emphasis on the need to establish Biblical authority for faith and practice. Re-presentations such as Young, Rowe, and Hudson illustrate how 20<sup>th<\/sup> century leaders appropriated the past to inform their discussions about current issues.\u00a0 The Young and Rowe books are from Jesse Parker Sewell\u2019s\u00a0 personal library and bear his signature and marginalia.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4316\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/specialcollections\/files\/2022\/09\/PioneerSermons_title.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1537\" height=\"2231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/specialcollections\/files\/2022\/09\/PioneerSermons_title.jpg 1537w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/specialcollections\/files\/2022\/09\/PioneerSermons_title-207x300.jpg 207w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/specialcollections\/files\/2022\/09\/PioneerSermons_title-338x490.jpg 338w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/specialcollections\/files\/2022\/09\/PioneerSermons_title-103x150.jpg 103w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/specialcollections\/files\/2022\/09\/PioneerSermons_title-768x1115.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/specialcollections\/files\/2022\/09\/PioneerSermons_title-1058x1536.jpg 1058w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/specialcollections\/files\/2022\/09\/PioneerSermons_title-1411x2048.jpg 1411w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1537px) 100vw, 1537px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4317\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/specialcollections\/files\/2022\/09\/PioneerSermons_sewellnotation-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/specialcollections\/files\/2022\/09\/PioneerSermons_sewellnotation-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/specialcollections\/files\/2022\/09\/PioneerSermons_sewellnotation-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/specialcollections\/files\/2022\/09\/PioneerSermons_sewellnotation-490x351.jpg 490w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/specialcollections\/files\/2022\/09\/PioneerSermons_sewellnotation-150x108.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/specialcollections\/files\/2022\/09\/PioneerSermons_sewellnotation-768x551.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/specialcollections\/files\/2022\/09\/PioneerSermons_sewellnotation-1536x1102.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/specialcollections\/files\/2022\/09\/PioneerSermons_sewellnotation-2048x1469.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/specialcollections\/files\/2022\/09\/PioneerSermons_sewellnotation-418x300.jpg 418w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Great Pioneer Papers<\/em><\/strong><strong>.
