Therefore, do not fear their fear, neither be troubled: but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts; and be always prepared for giving an answer, with meekness and reverence, to every one who asks of you a reason for the hope which is in you. Hold fast a good conscience, that, whereas they speak against you as evil doers, they may be put to shame who arraign your good behaviour in Christ.
— I. Peter III. (Living Oracles)

Moses E. Lard published a quarterly journal for the churches of Christ from September 1863 until April 1868. The Old Paths Book Club of St. Louis, Missouri reprinted these in 1950. The fifth and final volume of the Old Paths series continues with the June 1865 (Vol. 2, No. 6) issue of The Christian Herald and the April 1876 issue of The Christian Quarterly.

I transcribed the selections from Lard’s Quarterly which I am presenting here from the bound original volumes in the library of the Austin Graduate School of Theology.

Many of the articles are ascribed pseudonymously with the actual authors sub­sequently identified in the volume tables of contents. I follow my source by giving the names as they appeared in the corres­ponding “Index” (table of contents) and at the end of the articles, but when an author has been identified in the Index, I add his name under the title of his article. I have seen no Index for Volume V.

The table of contents on this internet Web page adds entries which are not in the printed Indexes. At the Memorial University of Newfoundland Religious Studies site is Ernie Stefanik’s more scribally faithful copy of those printed Indexes.

Please email me with any corrections which ought to be made to the articles posted here.
