Excerpt from Bible Doctrine for Young Disciples The special purpose of these studies is to outline for young people the doctrinal posi tion of the Disciples of Christ. As a religious people, we are peculiar. We stand for a distinctive plea. We have been calling the attention of men to a set Of principles, first principles, new prin ciples, that are at the same time as Old as Christianity. Are they worthy? Are they worth the contention? Have they reformed and are they reforming in any sense relig ious society? Are they true to the Bible, and are we true to them? Would they, if accepted by all Christians, accomplish any thing that others would not accomplish? Have we been purposeless iconoclasts, or have we, as wise master-builders, been lay ing deep, broad and eternal foundations where all the religious world may build foundations that can never be shaken, and a structure that shall be a glory to all the earth? These are questions worthy Of con Sideration. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Frederick Dunglison Power
Edit ProfileEducation
Frederick received his early education at the old-field school, near his home, and graduated from Bethany College in 1871.
Career
After graduation he remained at Bethany College for a short time as an instructor. While in college he supplied small churches on Sundays, frequently riding twenty miles on horseback over the mountains to his appointments.
On August 13, 1871, he was ordained at Mathews Court House, Virginia. Invited to take charge of a city church, he chose rather to minister for several years to three country churches in eastern Virginia at a salary of $500. In 1874 he was called to the Disciples church in Charlottesville, Virginia. In September he went to Bethany College to become adjunct professor of ancient languages.
In 1875 he became pastor of the Vermont Avenue Christian Church, Washington, where he remained for the rest of his life. The work of the Disciples in the vicinity of Washington took on new life with his coming. President Garfield was his parishioner and intimate friend, and Power was the preacher of the former's funeral sermon. From 1881 to 1883 he was chaplain of the House of Representatives.
Early in the history of the Christian Endeavor Society he became interested in this interdenominational organization and was one of its trustees at the time of his death. He was also a trustee of Bethany College and served as president of the General Christian Missionary Society. He was on the staff of the Christian Evangelist, St. Louis, and contributed to the literature of his denomination minor works on its doctrine and progress, including Sketches of Our Pioneers (1898). In 1905 selections from Power's writings, entitled Thoughts of Thirty Years, was published with an introduction by Francis E. Clark.
He died in Washington.
Achievements
-
For more than thirty-five years Frederick Dunglison Power was one of the most prominent clergymen of the Capital and a leader in his own denomination (Vermont Avenue Christian Church). His own church increased in size and influence, and some eight other churches were more or less its direct offshoots. He was also the founder of the Maryland, Delaware and District of Columbia Christian Missionary Society. His most substantial book was his Life of William Kimbrough Pendleton (1902), which contains much information regarding the history of the Disciples and Bethany College.
