The Standard Manual for Baptist Churches
Hiscox, Edward T. (Edward Thurston)
Baptists -- Doctrines; Baptists -- Government
The Anti-Mission Baptists, or rather Primitive Baptists, found chiefly
in the Southwest, do not believe in missions, Sunday schools, or other
reform movements lest they should seem to interfere with the Divine
decrees. They are said to number 43,000.
The Disciples of Christ, sometimes called Campbellites, or Christians,
number about 1,200,000.
The Winebrennerians, or the General Eldership of the Churches of God in
North America, are estimated at about 30,000.
The Tunkers, or Dunkards, of all groups number about 126,000, and the
United Brethren, about 330,000.
