Introduction to the “Vanguard Reprints” by Roel Velema “THE VANGUARD”REPRINTS. Introduction to the “Vanguard Reprints” by Roel Velema David Morrieson Panton (1870-1955), the author of the Vanguard Reprints, ministered at Surrey Chapel, Norwich, England. He succeeded Robert Govett (1813-1901) in that pulpit. Panton was the founder and editor of Dawn magazine, a strong voice for deep Scriptural and prophetical truth from 1924 until his death in 1955. He was known as “The Prince of Prophecy.” David Panton was born in Jamaica, where his father was first archdeacon, a missionary of the Church of England. His uncle was Archbishop of West Indies. DMP (as he was affectionately known), came to England to study, taking a law degree at Gaius College, Cambridge. Impressed by the teaching of Robert Govett surrounding Christ’s coming kingdom and glory, he gave up his legal career, being fully occupied with these and related truths such as the responsibility and accountability of every Christian for his stewardship before the judgment seat of his Lord. DMP wrote numerous tracts and books, including Rapture and The Judgment Seat of Christ. In later years, because of his health, he preached only once a month at Surrey Chapel, eventually retiring in 1941. Mrs. Margaret Barber (1866-1930), a British missionary in China, and instrumental in the spiritual growth of Watchman Nee, wrote in 1926 in a letter to David Panton: “Nothing you ever printed was more valuable than those concise rich Bible Studies called ‘Vanguard Reprints’. ” This indicates that the Vanguard Reprints have been written during the first part of Panton’s ministry and probably before or soon after he started to edit the Dawn magazine in 1924. Bible teachers as Robert Govett and David Panton belong to a rare group of Christians with extraordinary spiritual insight. However, we should keep in mind, when we read the writings of these men — which include the Vanguard Reprints — that they followed a so-called selective rapture and resurrection of Christians. It’s fully true that there will be a selection of believers before the judgment seat of Christ, but this selection doesn’t occur already at the time of the rapture, simply because the judgment seat is the place to determine what is of the flesh and of the spirit, not the rapture. We should also be aware that the Vanguard Reprints are often outdated, due to the time they were written. Nevertheless, the need was felt to make these 109 concise rich Bible studies called the Vanguard Reprints completely available again, just as they were published almost a century ago. In fact the Vanguard Reprints contain 108 articles. Article no. 109 on The Revelation was included in the original copy of the Vanguard Reprints, but not labelled as such. Nevertheless it has been added. The old English text has been retained. Only some minor typographical corrections have been made. Through the courtesy of Mr. Wil Tindle of Coleraine ( http://website.lineone.net/~whtindle ), Northern Ireland, we thank him in his provision of an original copy of the Vanguard Reprints.

Panton, the Founder and Proprietor, as well as Editor, of Dawn, believed that God gave Dawn into his hands as an instrument for the making known and maintaining doctrines which, though clearly enunciated in the Word of God. have become all but a dead letter to the majority of Christians. There was a time when the great foundation doctrine of justification by faith had been all but obliterated from the minds of Christians, till Luther was raised up and commissioned by God to disinter and make known, and to expound and defend it with his life. Similarly, the doctrine of responsibility and accountability of every redeemed soul to his Redeemer, naturally arising out of his redemption, has passed from the knowledge of the Church for the most part: certainly, in general, as a living and urgent power over the lives of disciples of Christ. And the future effect upon the believer of this present relationship to his Redeemer is completely ignored by most; namely, that, as a responsible agent of Christ, he must hand in an account of his stewardship before the Judgement Seat of his Lord; that from his Lord's lips he will receive the sentence due to him, be it good or bad, according as he has been faithful or unfaithful, obedient or disobedient, holy or sinful. This is almost passed over in the teaching of the Church, and the mere thought of it is hateful to many. Nevertheless it is as clearly set forth in Scripture as is the doctrine of Justification by Faith, and it is intended to produce, and does produce, the ripened and steadfast and overcoming life of the disciple who watches and waits for the return of his Lord, that he may go out with joy to meet Him and be received by Him. Mr. Panton believed that God put Dawn into his hands for the making known of these doctrines far and wide. He rejoiced that he was unfettered by financial or other interests, and free to proclaim the whole counsel of God, without thought of any present return to himself. He was faithful to his charge to the end. Though practically bedridden, and weak and dependent on human ministrations, though his mind had become almost a blank to many things of the present, he yet was utterly alive to the things of God. He worked unfalteringly to his time-schedule to produce each issue of Dawn. When the hitch came with the June issue, and the publisher wired for the copy, he stoutly maintained that he had produced and sent it off, and that he was beginning on the July Dawn next day. He did not begin on July Dawn next day, nor the next - but he was insistent that the June Dawn was done. We could not find the MSS. in his heaps of papers, nor could we distress him by hunting too closely, for he was troubled lest we should confuse his papers, which were no jumble to him, though they appeared but a jumble to others. We had to leave it at last, believing him to be mistaken in supposing that he had got all ready. The next day he seemed much more like his old self. He asked for his spectacles to be cleaned and his Testament to be given him, and he read from Paul's Second Epistle for some time. It seemed he might revive again; but he fell asleep, his Testament lying open where he had been reading, and did not return to consciousness. And the thoughts which had filled the heart of Paul, that valiant warrior, when he wrote to Timothy just before his death, filled the heart of our beloved warrior as he passed into the presence of the Lord he loved, and had served with his very last ounce of strength: “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing.”The words he had urged upon us during his long life were his own solace in his dying moments. We found, after his departure, that he had indeed produced the June Dawn, and this is it, all but complete! He had by mistake labelled it May Dawn, and it was lying with the May galley-proofs, so we had not examined it. We were doing as little as we could to distress him. 2 “THE VANGUARD”REPRINTS. Who was Mr. Panton? Doubtless his readers would be glad to know. David Morrieson Panton was born in the year 1870 in Jamaica, where his father was the first Archdeacon, a missionary of the Church of England. His uncle was the Archbishop of the West Indies. Mr. Panton came to school in England in 1885, at the Old Hall, Wellington, and then at St. Lawrence's, Ramsgate, and finally to Caius, Cambridge, where he studied Law, purposing to be a Barrister. At College, however, he delighted in the company of a godly Tutor, a man from Jersey, Labarestier by name. From him for the first time he heard the doctrines of the coming Kingdom and glory of Christ, during the last thousand years of earth's existence, and the conditions upon which disciples shall be called to share this special reign. These truths revolutionised his life; they caused him to abandon a legal career; to live in the refusal of all earth's favours and rewards: unmarried, in lodgings, living on a comparative pittance, and pouring forth his entire life and meagre substance in blessing upon all that he touched. These truths, and the entire range of Biblical doctrine, he expounded and defended in many pamphlets and writings, and then, during the last 31 years of his life, in Dawn. He prepared it according to his time-schedule, in time for its usual issue in June, but he was taken to be with the Lord on the 20th of May, before, for some reason or other, it had been sent off, though he thought it had gone. The delay in its appearing is due to no fault of his. He accomplished his own work to the very end faultlessly. He left no broken, unfinished work behind.

    SURREY CHAPEL Book of Remembrance 1 —O give thanks unto the Lord; for He is good: because His mercy endureth for ever.“ – Psalm 118:1 —By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name.“ – Heb. 13:15. 2 SURREY CHAPEL Book of Remembrance, 1854 - 1954 Surrey Chapel, Norwhich, celebrates its centenary in December 1954, and the suggestion has been made that some little account of its origin, history, and ministry may be of interest not only to its present membership and contemporaries, but to those who have worshipped within its walls in bygone years; and also to that wider audience scattered in various parts of the earth who know of, and revere its Founder – Robert Govett, M. A. (Oxon) – together with his successor – D. M. Panton, B. A. (Cantab.) – only through the medium of their books and writings. The aim of this narrative is not to exalt men, nor the church – grateful to God we are for the history of both – but to render our humble and hearty thanks to His name who in His wisdom and love chose and called out those who for so many years ministered at Surrey Chapel. —O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.“ – Psalm 34:3. 3 FIRST PERIOD, 1854 1901 Preparation and Foundation Let us hark back to the beginning of the story. On February 14th, 1813, at Staines in Middlesex, Robert Govett was born into a well-known ecclesiastical family.

    THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO “THE SPIRITUAL HUMAN IS DISCERNED BY NO ONE”: AN INTELLECTUAL BIOGRAPHY OF WATCHMAN NEE A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE DIVINITY SCHOOL IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY PAUL H B CHANG CHICAGO, ILLINOIS JUNE 2017 For Laura 我妹子, 我親婦, 你奪了我的心 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 1 Chapter 1, Republican China 18 Chapter 2, Fuzhou: Church and Conflict 74 Chapter 3, The Spiritual Human 127 Chapter 4, The Nanjing Decade 169 Conclusion 223 Bibliography 250 Appendix 259 iii Introduction A network of congregations quietly rings the globe, comprised of Christians meeting in homes and unassuming buildings, which usually bear little resemblance to traditional “churches.” A few outward characteristics are obvious. The local gatherings are of varying sizes, from two or three to two or three thousand. Frequently the members share meals together, often before or after services which can be boisterous and participatory. Generally, no pastor, priest, or designated religious officiant presides. As the Spirit leads, different members stand to call hymns, declare verses from the Bible, give personal testimonies, or shout praises to God. But, for all their openness about their beliefs and their tireless attempts at outreach, it can be hard for outsiders to understand who these Christians are. Why do they not join existing Christian denominations? What is the basis for their identity and the institutions they create? When asked, congregants readily and happily acknowledge their fellowship and unity with other likeminded groups from around the world, but they may seem canny and evasive when asked for the name of their local church or the name of the church network as a whole.

  • GREAT RESOLUTIONS Program Thirty-Seven
    GREAT RESOLUTIONS Program Thirty-Seven Robert Govett – A Pursuer of the Truth The history of the church from the second century onward shows that as time went on she lost her original purity and became more and more degraded. Although there was always a faithful remnant who sought to walk in the light, overall, many precious truths and practices revealed in the Scriptures were lost or distorted as traditions and the teachings of men took precedence over the Word of God. During the Middle Ages, especially, ignorance, hypocrisy, and corruption reigned, not God’s Word. The Scriptures were literally locked away from most people during that time, also aptly referred to as the Dark Ages. But “out of darkness, light shall shine” (2 Cor. 4:6). In His wisdom and love, the Lord was brooding over the darkness and preparing chosen vessels to begin to recover lost truths and to usher people back to the light of the Scriptures and to the proper experience of Christ as life and to the many rich aspects of full salvation as conveyed in His Word. This work of recovery has been continuing 1 through the centuries. Some of the vessels used by the Lord in his recovery were John Wycliffe, John Huss, Martin Luther, Count Zinzendorf, John Nelson Darby, George Mueller, Margaret Barber, Watchman Nee and Witness Lee. Robert Govett was a vessel used by the Lord to recover Bible truths during the nineteenth century. While some of his countrymen, such as Hudson Taylor and C. T. Studd, carried the gospel light to foreign lands, Robert Govett remained in England and released the riches of Christ at home in his native land.

  • A Textual Analysis of Late Nineteenth Century Christian Women
    DEVOUT PEDAGOGIES: A TEXTUAL ANALYSIS OF LATE NINETEENTH CENTURY CHRISTIAN WOMEN Tiffany R. Wang A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2017 Committee: Sue Carter Wood, Advisor Ellen W. Gorsevski Graduate Faculty Representative Kristine Blair Lee Nickoson © 2017 Tiffany R. Wang All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Sue Carter Wood, Advisor This project is situated in scholarship surrounding the rescue, recovery, and (re)inscription of historical women rhetors, particularly those within religious spaces. It places a lens on the rhetorical practices of two religious women: Jessie Penn-Lewis and Margaret E. Barber. I argue that it is important to investigate these women, for doing so reveals not only an area that has not received extensive critical attention, but also informs how scholars look at pedagogy, particularly in religious spaces. The project and methods are grounded in feminist research practices. This project is historical in nature and will thus draw upon feminist historical and archival research methods as my primary methods of investigation. Further, this project is framed as two case studies, which examine closely through textual analysis surviving work produced by these women to begin to extend our knowledge of pedagogical and rhetorical practices in religious spaces. The heuristic used to investigate these texts and women bring forward key themes for study and application such as: how space is used, whether rhetorical or physical; what kind of tools can be used or appropriated for teaching practices; how texts and women circulate and under what conditions and intentions.
