** The Logan Republican 1914-4-30: Beaver Briefs: "Last week we spent one day in Long Island, one in Prairie View and one in Phillipsburg, on a Sunday School tour. This is the first time in 16 years that we have visited Long Island. That is a lovely valley when one finally gets over the hills to it. We found a goodly number of people there engaged in church and Sunday School work. Besides the M.E.'s, the English Lutherans, the Presbyterians and the Baptists, there is a company of Come Outers who have built a gospel hall and hold meetings. Surely there is no good excuse for not attending church in Long Island. We wonder how long it will be before people will conclude to agree on the essential things of Christianity and instead of trying to maintain from four to half a dozen churches in these small towns that we have, one Protestant church and that one a lively, wide-awake church working for the good of the whole people."

Hammond we are able to reprint these articles from an old copy of The Long Island Leader, published July 4th, 1889, at Long Island, Kan., and which he has kept in good shape as a relic of the olden days. It was published at that time by J.N. Carl and the office was located in a building that stood where the new garage is now located. According to old settlers the main business houses were at that time located in that block and the west side of the street was completely built up from what is now the Sedman harness shop to the Gospel hall to the south of the block."

−
** LINL 1916-7-6: "Beware. Some of the boys in this vicinity will come to grief one of these days if they do not mend their ways. Of a Sunday evening, after Endeavor, they act as if they had no home raising and as everything they saw belonged to them. Last Sunday evening a number of boys were around the autos by the Gospel Hall while the owners were attending services. A dog was watching its master's car and because it barked when the boys were too near, one hit the poor dog with something, who hadn't harmed them at all. By the way the dog howled it was no light lick it received. Then to hide his meanness the boy ran but was careful to keep his arm over his face when he passed anyone so his identity could not be known. Boys, act like a gentleman (it doesn't cost any more and people will respect you more) and not like someone that had no raising."

Revision as of 09:08, 29 February 2024

See Branches of Plymouth Brethren to explain abbreviation types (although in short: OB (& TW-P) are Halls & Chapels within the "open brethren" (although GH's (generally) maintain a separate network from the Chapels). EB/TW/TW-N are "Careful" Brethren (similar to OB Halls), and BC are (generally) independent community churches with early or indirect PB influence, and will (usually) not consider themselves "Brethren"). AA/CA refers to assemblies of African or Caribbean origin, or predominant demographic, although all ethnicities are overly welcome in any assemblies.

The above primer link expands on the abbreviations, and also contains introduction to this (and other) sheets within the overall History. There have been scores of branches with their own distinctive networks and strengths within the history of the PB, and many branches continue to flourish today, and while no assembly or gathering is identical to the others, each is thought to maintain a fervent desire for simplicity in gathering around the Lord Jesus, though practices and secondary doctrines may vary culturally and/or preferentially as autonomous (yet inter-dependent) local churches.

Assemblies are sorted geographically, and will, D.V., eventually have further history within. Red links on Brethrenpedia are presently undeveloped, and blue links contain data. Appreciate patience with our progress, and if you'd like to help, please contact any of the editing team, preferably via social media.
