The second volume of the letters from the French charge d'affaires to his superiors is as pleasing as the first to students of the Texas Republic. Translator Nancy Nichols Barker has made the impartial, accurate reports of Viscount Jules de Cramayel and the more colorful despatches of Alphonse Dubois de Saligny readily available to researchers by providing full translations of material where the two men had personal contact with officials of the Texas government. Elsewhere the editor offers brief sum­ maries of the deleted matter and refers those who wish to read the omitted portions to the Austin Public Library where the entire collection is on microfilm. She also has included all of the instructions to the charge that have been preserved in the archives of the French foreign ministry, along with other pertinent documents discovered there.

Baylor is no exception, and one of the most important issues the University must face is how to achieve prominence in the world of higher education while remaining true to its Baptist heritage. It is a question that sparks disagree- ment from external constituents and within Baylor itself (see this month’s “Academic Agenda,” page 5). A survey of Baylor faculty conducted in 1995 by Dr. Larry Lyon, dean of the graduate school and professor of sociology, and Dr. Michael Beaty, director of the Institute for Faith and Learning and associate professor of philosophy, highlighted the fact that even among Baylor faculty, the intersection between faith and learning is unclear.

  • Baptist Periodicals in Alabama, 1835-1873 F
    BAPTIST PERIODICALS IN ALABAMA, 1835-1873 F. Wilbur Helmbold* The published sources of denominational news, as well as the discussion of theological and moral issues, which were available to Alabama Baptists in the pioneer period and until the middle of the 1830's were in the Baptist newspapers in the older states from whence the people had migrated to the new country. Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia all had Baptist periodicals which were known to the Baptists who moved to Alabama. The rising controversy over the missionary question was a contributing cause for the establishment of at least two anti-missionary (Old School, or Primitive) Baptist publications which also had some Alabama contacts. Signs of the Times, begun in 1832 by Gilbert Beebe in New-Vernon, N. Y., moved to Alexandria, Va., and back again to New York, was highly critical of the missionary movement and of the periodicals published by the missionary brethren. In 1835 and 1837, Beebe published letters from Alabama Baptists of the Primitive persuasion which reported on the situation in the state. It is quite likely that similar communications from Alabama correspondents were published in the Primitive Baptist, which was issued at Tarboro, N. C., beginning in 1835 under the editorship first of Elder Burwell Temples and the soon Elder Mark Bennett. 1 It was not until 1835 that the first known Baptist periodical was begun in Alabama, when Rev. William Wood established the Jacksonville Register at Jacksonville, Alabama. It ceased publication in 1836, being the first in a succession of Alabama Baptist periodicals which struggled only briefly and then succumbed because of inadequate support.
