established in the faith and increased in number daily giving a brief outline of the christ ian church which commenced in the day of pentecost mr shantz said jesus made it clear that they should be endowed with power from on high the early church had a band of a- nointed ministers and membership soon rose to 5000 persecution broke out seven years later stephen and others killed the christians scatter ed everywhere with the result that new churches were organized in spite of all opposition and persecut ion the church continued to grow so that by the end of the first cent- uiy there were about half a million christians three hundred years af ter the early church there was a spir itual decline gradually it drifted in to catholicism during what is term ed the dark ages it joined together the virtues of heaven and the vices of hell by the year 1500 there was very little difference between the so- called christian or catholic church and the world the worlds first mennonite con gregation was organized in zurich switzerland in 1525 under the leadershop of conrad grobel and felix manx the three great churches which a- rose during the iretormation were the lutheran the reformed aud the annabaptist the greatest of the mennonite preachers was menno simons a converted catholic priest who came from holland and after whom the church was named in honor of the lennonites the following may be said they were the first religious group to preach and practise religious toleration sep aration of the church and state dem ocracy in church government and to advocate universal peace they arc the first on record in america to draw up a public protest against the holding of slaves few other churches since the days of the re formation have given so many mar tyrs to the cause
