Section 11 – Period from 1885 to 1890
The story of this period would not be complete without information as to the loss of so many brethren under the influence of Mr. Grant in America and Mr. Stuart in England, coming so soon after the loss of many followers of Mr. Kelly which culminated the year before Mr. Darby’s death.
Mr. F.W. Grant, who had been a minister in the Anglican church in Canada, received light through the reading of literature and tracts published by brethren in Toronto about 1865. He later moved to Brooklyn and then to Plainfield where he lived until his death in 1902.
It is understood that while Mr. Darby was still alive he had considerable misgivings about certain of Mr. Grant’s teaching regarding Old Testament saints which he put on nearly the same level as the Christians of the New Testament. Mr. Lowe had been sent over to look into the matter, but as long as Mr. Darby lived he was borne with.
In 1884, pamphlets were written by Mr. Lowe and Mr. A.C. Ord severely criticizing Grant’s views which he published after Mr. Darby’s death. In the same year Lord Cecil and Mr. Mace visited Montreal, where they condemned Mr. Grant’s views and with the majority of the meeting pronounced him a heretic and excluded him from fellowship, at the Natural History Hall.
Mr. Grant immediately commenced breaking bread at Craig Hall where twelve young brethren had been holding independent gospel meetings. A majority of the meetings in America sided in with Mr. Grant. There was at the time well over 100 meetings in both Canada and the United States with a total of about 6000 brethren, so the breakup was quite widespread, much of the work having been the result of Mr. Darby’s years of labor in America.
In England at Reading, Mr. C.H. Stuart was also put away for wrong teaching and a number of meetings went out with him. They were shortly joined with the Grant meetings in a universal fellowship. The meetings under Grant prospered while those under Stuart did not.
The Grant meetings were particularly numerous in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Minnesota and California, and had many able laborers such as Messrs: F.W. Grant, R.T. Grant, E.S. Lyman (all former preachers), C.C. Crain, L.F. Crane. A.E. Booth, F. (or P.?) J. Enefer, E.K. Baily, Carl Armerding, Nels Thompson, William Haig, B.C. Greenman, W.M. Horsey, P.J. Loizeaux, D. Little, S. Ridout, J. Bloore, H.A. Ironside (who went to the Moody Church), etc.
The Grant brethren suffered a devastating division in 1927 when they were split in four parties, and since then large numbers have gone to Open Brethren.
In June 1887 an important conference was held in Des Moines, Iowa, at which great gift was present, as this had become one of the more important centers in the U.S. Among them were Lord Cecil, Messrs. A.B. Pollock, W.J. Lowe, O.J. O’Brien, W.J. Close, and A.H. Rule. The Boyt brothers had recently come over to America settling in Des Moines.
