Thus far the change was radical, but here a large minority paused and brought with them into the reformation their old Baptist Church usages.

The Baptists in the Great West and South are known as "Missionary Baptists," and "Old Baptists," or "Hardshell Baptists." Adoniram Judson and Luther Rice, who had been sent to Burmah by a Congregational Missionary Society, made known to the Baptists that they themselves had become Baptists, and had been repudiated by their own society, and asked for help.

The Missionary Baptists are by far the most enterprising in all that pertains to the spread of Christianity.
