(Established in 1854)
The first issue was issued at Front Royal, Virginia, January 1854, by Elder John Clark, who was editor for about thirty years except for the period from 1864-1870. After his death, in 1882, it was published for several years by Elder C. H. Waters (1849-1920) as editor, and Bro. J. G. Wiltshire as publisher. In February 1891 the paper was purchased by Elder T. S. Dalton (1846-1931), who merged it with the Herald of Truth, and served as editor until 1898. Elder John R. Daily (1854-1920) then served as editor for eight years. In May 1906 Dr. C. H. Waters resumed the editorship for several years. Elder R. H. Pittman purchased the paper in May 1919, and in January 1921 purchased The Messenger of Truth from Elder F. P. Branscome. In March 1923, the Gospel Messenger was merged with it.

Elder R. W. Fain, (1807-1876), Shelbyville, Tennessee, founder, in 1858. Elder John M. Watson may have later served as editor of this paper.
No issues of this paper have been located yet.

Vol. 3, No. 3 is dated September 15, 1883, so this paper evidently began in about August 1880. In 1883, Elder T. S. Dalton (1846-1931), was the editor and proprietor, at Union City, Tennessee. He was still the editor in January 1891, at Benton, Illinois, when he moved to Stanleyton, Virginia, and merged it with Zions Advocate, of which he served as editor, or co-editor with Elder (Dr.) C. H. Waters (1849-1920).
SBHLA - has Misc issues 1883-1884, and one loose issue Vol. 4, 1885.

The Baptist Watchman began at Jasper, Alabama, in 1868. It was moved to Murfreesboro, Tennessee in 1869, then to Nashville, Tennessee in 1872. Elders R. W. Fain (1807-1876) and B. E. Mullens (1831-1895) were editors, and Elder J. Bunyan Stephens (1836-1919) associate editor, in 1872. Publication suspended in the fall of 1880.

The Old Baptist Banner began publication in 1838, at Nashville, Tenn., with Elder Washington Lowe as founder and editor. In 1840 the name was changed to The Correspondent. Elder Lowe served as editor until 1839. Elder John M. Watson (1798-1866) then moved the paper to Murfreesboro, Tennesssee, and probably served as editor until his death. Elder R. W. Fain then served as editor, probably assisted or followed by C. W. Nance at Nashville, Tennessee.
The following may be in existence somewhere (checking with University Microforms, Ann Arbor, Michigan):
Vol. 1, No. 1, May 1838 - 1840,
Vol. 2, No. 1, May 1839 - Vol. 2, No. 12, April 1840

We have ten reels of microfilm from the Historical Society of Missouri which include volumes 1 (1874) through 36 (1910), but they are incomplete. Our own paper copies are shown for each year below using month and day, and copies from other microfilms are marked with issue #s. Holdings at the University of Missouri, Historical Society of Missouri, 1020 Lowry Street, Columbia, MO 65201, included a collection of hardbound volumes of the Messenger of Peace, and supposedly they were microfilmed, along with other volumes loaned to them to be filmed. We were told, much to our dismay, that they then burned their hardbound volumes.
Elder John E. Goodson, Sr., was editor from November 15, 1874, until his death September 16, 1892.

Devoted to the Old School Baptist Cause
Elder Lemuel Potter, Founder and Editor
Grayville, Illinois, and Ft. Branch, Indiana
Edited by Elder Lemuel Potter, 1841-1897, of Grayville, Illinois, and later of Ft. Branch, Indiana, the Church Advocate first appeared as a semi-monthly in the Fall of 1872 (the November 1872 issue was Vol. 1, No.4). Between 1872 and 1878, four volumes (or parts of volumes) appeared, including at least parts of the years 1872, 1873, 1874, 1877, and 1878. Publication of the paper was suspended in 1879 (the last issue being Vol. 4, No. 15), due to the printer thinking he could not afford to continue it, as his income was from a percentage of the subscriptions. In February 1892 (almost thirteen years later), the paper was revived, as Volume 5, and continued until it was merged with the Primitive Monitor, in December 1897. In 1892, 1893, 1896, and 1897, the Church Advocate was published in pamphlet size. In 1894 and 1895 it was published in newspaper size.
We have no original issues from 1872 through 1876; but we do have 1873, Vol 1, No. 10, in digital format. Our holdings include Vol. 3, No. 1, Oct. 1, 1877 through Vol. 3, No. 14, April 15, 1878. We have Feb. 1892-Dec. 1892 and the full year of 1893 in bound volumes. We have loose issues, as follows, after 1893: May 1, 1894; July 15, Aug 1, Nov 15, 1895; March, June, July, August, September, October, November and December 1896; Jan 1, 15, Feb 1, 15, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, and October 1897. We also have 1896, Vol. 9, No. 2 in digital format.

Editors: Elder Thomas J. Bazemore, of Macon, Georgia, was the founder and first editor, serving for about one year. The first issue appeared in October 1878. Brother J. A. Crews became proprietor and editor with Elder Bazemore in April 1879. Elder J. R. Respess, (born October 2, 1831, died 1895) followed Elder Bazemore as editor. Elder William M. Mitchell, (born January 10, 1819, died February 26, 1901) became associated with Elder Respess in 1881, and Elder J. E. W. Henderson (born January 23, 1839) in 1886, and Elder Sylvester Hassell (born July 28, 1842, died August 18, 1928) in February 1892. Elder Hassell purchased the paper in 1896 from the family of Elder J. R. Respess. During the time Elder Hassell served as editor, associate editors included Elders James H. Oliphant, Lee Hanks, and G. W. Stewart. In February 1920 Elder Hassell sold the paper to Elder Z. C. Hull, of Atlanta, Georgia, who published it under the same name for about three years, and then sold it to Elder R. H. Pittman, in April 1923. Elder Pittman merged it with his paper, which was already called "Advocate & Messenger" as a result of the merging of Zion's Advocate and Messenger of Truth.
A complete set of this paper from 1878-1923 is located at NRAB

Hatcher), a bound volume of Vol. 8, 1844-1845, in August 2000.
Additional issues (volumes) were found on-line, digitized by Google books. Elder Jewett died in 1845, and the paper was then discontinued.

Founded by Elder W. H. Harrell and M. L. Sammons in July
1891, but suspended after a few months. Elder J. G. Webb revived
it in 1892. Later editors included Elder T. L. Webb, Sr., Elder
J. C. Morgan, Elder W. T. Carter (1913-1953), Mrs. Pearl Morgan,
Elder Troy Corley, and Elder Tom Hart. There were numerous other
associate editors and staff writers through the span of 90 years
of its existence. We have a microfilm which was purchased from
the Historical Commission, SBC, Nashville, Tennessee, which
includes the issues shown below which are dated previous to 1900.
We also have on microfilm the period from 1937-1971, which is
available from the American Baptist Historical Society, Samuel
Colgate Historical Library, 1106 South Goodman Street, Rochester,
NY 14620-2532. Our holdings for 1971-82 have been microfilmed.

Elder Daniel Parker began this monthly publication, Church's
Advocate (masthead: "Truth is Powerful"), in October 1829. The
printing was done by Elihu Stout, at Vincennes, Indiana. The
first volume (bound zerox copies) is complete in our files. The
second and last volume of this periodical for the period October
1830 through September 1831 has been microfilmed, and we have a
copy of the same. There was supposedly a 13th number for one of
the volumes, which we do not have.

H. T. Craig, Morgantown, Ind., published first at Paris, Ill.,
later at Charleston, Ill.)
(The first issue of The Western Predestinarian Baptist was dated January 21, 1842, and continued to be published as late as May 15, 1846, and possibly a few years longer. Elder Richard M. Newport served as moderator of the Wabash District Association as late as 1846, but afterward moved to southwestern Missouri, where he continued to labor in the ministry until his death. His experience was published in the Signs of the Times, and reprinted in 1888, in the Primitive Monitor, and is available in pamphlet form.

We have a microfilm, made from the original material at the
Illinois State Historical Library, in Springfield, Illinois. It
has the following: July 1849 through December 1851 (Volumes 5, 6, and part of 7).
This paper began in January 1845 and continued for about twelve or thirteen years. A detailed study of the places and manner of its publication has been compiled by Mr. Terry Tanner (now deceased), of Hamill & Barker Antiquarian Booksellers, 1719 Howard St., Evanston, Illinois 60202, which we have in our files.
We have a xerox copy of two issues which are located at the Wisconsin Historical Society, Madison, Wisconsin: Vol. 2, No. 5 (October 1846), and Vol. 3, No. 2 (August 1847).
We have a xerox copy of three issues which are located at Duke University, Durham, North Carolina: Vol. 4, No. 10, No. 11, and No. 12 (April 1849, May 1849, and June 1849).
Our holdings are as follows:
1845, Volume 1, None.
1846, Volume 2, No. 5 (Oct 1846)
1847, Volume 3, No. 2 (Aug 1847)

We found under Worthpoint (ebay history) that May, June, and July 1848 issues were sold through an auction house in Vermont, in Aug 2013. We have not yet been able to locate the buyer or seller. Zions Advocate reported in 1857 that the Western Evangelist had ceased publication, Vol. 13, No. 10, April 1857, may have been the last issue, although the printer promised to published Nos. 11 and 12.

One final issue was published after Volume 144 was bound, after the death of Elder J. M. Mewborn. It is loose (unbound).
**Volume number is wrong on the paper itself. 2006 issues used same volume number as 2005, and the same error has been carried forward
Holdings elsewhere:
The editor, Elder J. M. Mewborn, has bound volumes for many of the years after it became magazine size; but he only has scattered issues for the early period when it was in tabloid form.
The Primitive Baptist Library at Elon College, NC, has an
incomplete set beginning with 1873. We do not have a detailed
listing of their holdings of each year, whether or not complete).
The Christian Baptist Library, Atwood, Tennessee, also had many bound volumes, beginning in the 1890's. They were sold to the Southern Baptist Historical Commission, Nashville, Tennessee. The American Baptist Historical Library, Rochester, New
York (now Macon, Georgia), has only Vol. 2, No. 13 (June 1, 1869) for the period 1867-1870. (We have a zerox copy of this). They have bound volumes for many later years.
Perkins Library, rare book room, Duke University, Durham, NC, has Vol. 1, Nos. 1, 3, 20; Vol. 2, Nos. 11, 18, 21, 22; Vol. 3, Nos. 2, 6.
Roberts Library, Southwestern Bapt. Theol. Sem., Fort Worth, TX, has Vol. 1, No. 2, and Vol. 1, No. 9 (March 15, 1868), for the period 1867-1870. Scattered issues from 1876 through 1895. More complete between 1896 and 1935.
The Union List of Baptist Serials shows holdings at Z. Smith
Reynolds Library, Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, NC
(North Carolina Baptist Historical Collection), for 1868-69:
issues 7, 8, 10-13, 15, 16, 19-21, 23. We now have a complete
list of their holdings.
University of Texas at Austin [512-495-4515] has nothing
before volume 20.
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina
Collection, has Vol. 2, No. 2; Vol. 3, No. 1;
East Carolina University, Greenville, NC had nothing before
Volume 31, when we checked with them.
Virginia State Library has an incomplete run beginning with
Vol. 26, No. 20 (Sep. 1, 1893).
June 6, 2017, we received word from a private individual named Stephen Felker, pastor of Swift Creek Baptist Church in Virginia, and great-great grandson of Elder Johnson Pate (of Georgia), who was an agent for Zions Landmarks at one time, that he had the following issues, fragile, bound with a string:

WRITINGS PUBLISHED BY ELDER W. S. CRAIG (1867-1961):
1. SHORT ARTICLES ON PRIMITIVE BAPTIST FAITH AND PRACTICE, mainly in reference to Mt. Zion Church, Cozad, Nebraska. (1979 hardbound book reprint). 114 pp.
2. THE PHARISEE AND THE PUBLICAN. 1922. 18 pp. A booklet designed to set forth the difference between natural and spiritual religion, and to comfort mourning souls.
3. THE SCARLET THREAD. 1922. 27 pp. Wherein the typical significance of the thread which saved Joshua's two spies and Rahab's house from destruction, is illustrated.

8. THE ATONEMENT. 1925. Part I. Pages 1-56. Part II. Pages 57-104. A treatise on the atonement of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Preface, definitions, necessity of, design, extent, and results of the atonement.
9. BIBLE PROPHECY. 1925. 26 pp. Being a brief survey of this very important and highly interesting subject.
10. INFANT SALVATION. 1925. 28 pp. The doctrine of their actual salvation from sin, scripturally supported and defended.
11. ADAM. 1925. 49 pp. Some observations and notes on his disobedience and the sad results of it. The object of this booklet is to plainly set forth, from a Bible standpoint, the condemned, sinful, and morally-ruined condition of man according to nature, or as he is born into this world as a descendant of Adam after his Fall, and thereby show the absolute necessity of our merciful Lord's redeeming grace.
12. CHRISTIAN HUMILITY. 1925. Some comments and many extracts on this gracious ornament of Christian character.
13. THE SEED OF THE WOMAN SHALL BRUISE THE SERPENT'S HEAD. 1925. 36 pp. Comments and extracts on this very remarkable declaration of the Lord.
14. ETERNAL LIFE. 1925. 40 pp. This wonderful life proven to be the exclusive product of divine power and grace.
15. THE GLORIOUS TRIUMPHS OF GRACE. Third edition, 1924. 88 pp. Being mainly an abridgement of Abraham Booth's "Reign of Grace". Abraham Booth was an English Baptist minister of rare abilities. But for this unbelieving age his writings are far too sound in doctrine to be sufficiently popular for republication. If his works were not in print, there would be no good reason why I should write these pages, and I surely would not do so.

17. THE COVENANT OF GRACE. 1925. 56 pp. Comments and extracts on this divine arrangement for the redemption of the chosen subjects of salvation, or the divine arrangement for the salvation of sinners.

19. JUSTIFICATION (BEFORE GOD). 1925. 55 pp. The subject of justification is of such very great importance that I feel I should write more upon it than I have in the short chapter on this subject in my "Triumphs of Grace," and in doing so I have used considerable material from that chapter.
20. THE FIVE POINTS. 1925. 60 pp. These five points form the links of one harmonious chain, which if correctly understood, will be seen to be quite consistently related to each other, viz., Total depravity, Unconditional election, Special redemption, Effectual calling, and Certain perseverance.
