This volume is Carter's critique of the Methodist Church, focused especially on the hierarchy of church leadership and on infant baptism. Carter argues from scripture against the position of bishops in the Methodist Church, but is most adamant in his disapproval of the baptism of infants, quoting from the New Testament, religious scholars, Greek and Latin sources, and the tracts of other denominations. Included in the text are five works by other writers that set out Baptist beliefs. From R.H. Boyd's National Baptist Pastor's Guide, Carter includes details of Baptist church organization, sample programs, and the powers and duties of Baptist preachers and church officers.
