Whose faith followA short series on the founding fathers of the EPC

W J McDowell was patently gifted with a clear mind,

keen insight and epigrammatic expression. Illustrating

the longevity of Methuselah, he said: Take a soldier at

the Battle of Hastings in 1066 - he would be still alive!

Hearing one of his colleagues singing to himself the hymn,Where will you spend eternity?, he said, You cant spend

it!

He was born in 1905 in North Belfast and attended

Currie Primary School, Limestone Road, overlapping with

George Bellew and Joe McCracken - later well-known in

IEC. After leaving school he was a storekeeper in Robert

Craig Engineering, Great Georges Street. The family were

local Presbyterians.

mission (1921-23). The events of 1927 engaged him

and he became a foundation member of Crosscollyer

Street which formed 1927-28. In January 1929 Council

expressed the desirability of sending a colporteur into

those districts of Ireland where the word of God is not

being proclaimed. The Irish Evangelical called for prayer

... in particular that the Lord may prepare the person to be

sent forth. The outcome was that Council recognised Mr

McDowells call to Christian service and appointed him asits colporteur in February 1929. He laboured for six years

in Cavan, Clare, Donegal, Kerry, Kilkenny, Laois, Leitrim,

Limerick and Monaghan - and in his six home counties.

A 1930 report said: A colporteur needs three GsGrace,

Grit, and Gumption; also two PsPrayerfulness and

Patience. Ask the Lord to give me these. And in 1934,

Human nature is much the same in every district. One

meets Obstinates, Pliables, and Talkatives very often in

the course of this work.

The death of James Gillespie and the departure of Charles

Hunter and Joseph McCracken to Edinburgh as students

for the ministry in 1932, followed by a reduction in our

ministers in 1933, made the shortage of pulpit supplyacute and from 1933 Council kept Mr McDowell nearer

Belfast to help with preaching, visitation, Bible Classes

and the Evangelical Book Shop.

Minister

There was growing pressure from congregations to see

him in the ministry and in March 1935 Council accepted

him as a student. He was ordained on 8 June 1939 in

Ballyclare where he was minister until his retirement

in 1980. But it was only during his last three years

that Ballyclare was a single charge. Concurrently with

Ballyclare he was minister of Slate Hill 1939-42, Somerton

Road 1942-53, Jocelyn Avenue 1953-66 and Knock 1966-

77. There were also two brief spells as Interim Moderator.

In 1941 he married Sadie Rothwell, who worked with the

Knock congregation. The Lord blessed his systematic

preaching at Ballyclare and the congregation outgrew its

building. It was replaced in 1970 and supplemented by a

suite of halls in 1978.

Around 1925 Willie McDowell, George Bellew, Joe

McCracken and others bought a bell-tent. They used to

camp in the Carrickfergus area from Saturday afternoon

until 5.00 am on Monday morning. George remembered

Willie and Joe wrestling through grass, nettles and

bushes. Another friend said that Willie spent most of his

time studying. This planted the idea for our own church

camps and provided some experience. Jim Grier and

they used the Carrickfergus tent. Mr and Mrs McDowellcontinued to visits Boys and Girls Camps for many years.

In September 1941 he led a committee to select Sunday

School lessons. He was also a major contributor to our


7/167The Evangelical Presbyterian JUL-AUG 2013

own 34-lesson Evangelical Lesson Book in use during

the 1950s and 60s. A 1935 motion to commence a Young

Peoples Association did not proceed but it revived in

1965. In April 1966 Mr McDowell proposed a basis for

a YPA, and Council appointed a committee of young

people from several congregations. He wrote in November

1965 on Biblical Teenagers: Joseph, Daniel and friends -

teenage squares!

Writer

A number of Mr McDowells articles appeared as booklets,usually re-produced from the Irish Evangelical or the Bible

League Quarterly. Their titles indicate his intellectual and

doctrinal capacity. Among them were, Calvinism is not

an Excuse for Carelessness (Macedonian Cry, 1939),

Have we a Reliable Bible? (1949), which arose from the

Grammar School Syllabus debate of that year, Is Bodily

Healing in the Atonement? (1953), Should the Murderer be

put to death? (1961), The Virgin Birth of our Lord (1966),

of Evangelical Witness (1988), a summary of our history

and The Incomparable Book (BoT 1988). With The Day

that is Different he was runner-up in a LDOS Competition

in 1991. He was also joint editor with Rev W J Grier of The

Evangel, the churchs evangelistic pamphlet of the 1930s

and 40s.

And he contributed 349 articles to the magazine! Only the

editor did more! Many of them were one-offs but he did

the Meditating on the Word series - Lords Prayer, Joseph

(10), Elijah (14), Elisha (20) and David (20). Many of his

titles were engaging: Limping or Following, Was the Lord

Jesus Christ a Christian?, Money, Money, Money. He

assisted the editor during his illness in 1949-50.

He loved the church and was always happy to work

delivered on time. In 1944 he became the Free Church

Foreign Missions delegate to the Free Church Assembly.

He tutored students and, for Councils Speakers Training

of eighteen lectures with focus on the Westminster

Confession. He delivered six of the lectures and continued

in the ensuing sessions. He represented the church at

international synods and was a BEC council member

for about a decade. He was chairman of Council seven

he drafted and produced the 1964 form of government

- the Red Book. And he served as a trustee of the

Evangelical Book Shop for 24 years.

At our 30th anniversary in 1957 he spoke on Our Witness

in the Present and stated forthrightly that more regular

attendance at all the means of grace and more zeal for

the Lords cause was a pressing necessity. His report ofthe 40th used the title These Forty Years - ...these forty

years the Lord thy God hath been with thee; thou has

lacked nothing. (Deut 2.7) It was a context that looked

Mrs McDowell became ill on 28 January 1980, the eve of

her husbands retirement services at Ballyclare. She died

on 7 February. Mr McDowell died after a short illness on 2

December 1991. He was a meek, self-effacing man, ready

to defer to others and to bestow the honour upon them.

In mission, youth-development, administration, writing,

teaching and preaching his contribution to the church was

massive. He played a vital role in the hard years. He had

over 52 years in the ministry and sealed his bond with the

church with a substantial gift from his estate. May God

give us a W J McDowell in every generation.

Ernest Brown of Knock is well known

throughout the EPC. For many years

he represented the church on the

International Missions Board of the Free

Church of Scotland. Ernest is also the

historian of the EPC and is a recognised

authority on the 1927 Heresy Trial. Here

he continues his series on the founding

fathers of our church.

The Return of ChristPart 4 - The Great Apostasy

Many years ago, while on holiday in Italy with my father, I had

the opportunity to visit Pompeii. Those who have visited there

will recall a wonderful mosaic doormat picturing a chained dog

and bearing the words Cave Canem beware of the dog. The

dog looks most vicious and unfriendly but the chain would havebrought some reassurance to any callers to the house as they

would have realised that the dog was being restrained. This

devil is being portrayed as being like a chained dog. He remains

vicious and cruel and able to roam about with considerable

him.This binding is for a particular purpose - that he should

deceive the nations no more(verse 3). Right now, in this period

of the last days, the Gospel is going forth not just to the Jews, to

Israel, but to the nations. Satan is bound in terms of his ability to

keep the nations in darkness and rebellion. However, the same

verse teaches that, just before the return of Christ, Satan must

be released for a little while (verse 3).

During this period, just prior to Christs return, when Satan isloosed the Antichrist will arise and the people of God will pass

through a time of serious persecution and trouble. Coinciding

with these events there will be another trial for the church - a trial

which Gods people will experience not because of opposition

from without but because of the subtle activity of Satan within the

church. This event one of the particular signs is known as

the Great Apostasy.

As we try to come to terms with what the Great Apostasy is we

will ask a series of questions which, hopefully, will give us a clear

understanding of what this event is,

What is Apostasy?

we must acknowledge that there have always been apostates

within the church from the beginning. An apostate is someone

who professes to be a follower of Christ but who, after a period

of time, falls away from their outward profession and turns

aside from the church and from the things of God. We know, of

course, that it is impossible to fall away from Christ if a true work

of grace has been wrought in our hearts - John 10:28 & 29. But

we also know that there are men and women who claim to be

followers of Jesus but who do not persevere to the end and are

ultimately seen to be false professors. Jesus reminds us of such

people in the parable of the soils where the seed that falls on the

stony ground and the seed that falls among the thorns represent

those who claim to be followers of Jesus but who through time

wither and fade and die (Mark 4:1 to 20). Judas, one of the

Twelve, is probably the most notable example of someone who

apostasises.

What is the Great Apostasy?

It is clear from Matthew 24 (verses 5,10 and 11)that before Jesus

2:3 is probably the clearest passage in this regard. Here Paul

is trying to reassure believers who are troubled that they have

missed out on the Parousia. During the course of his pastoral

counsel to them he mentions that there are certain things

that will occur before Jesus comes one of which is the falling

away(verse 3).

Later in the same passage he goes on to speak about the Man

of Sin or the Antichrist further reminding us of the close proximity

between his rise, a time of great tribulation for the church and the

Great Apostasy.

How can you recognise an apostate?

who has fallen away is an apostate or a backslider. Wouldyou or I have been successful in sussing out Judas if we had

been following him around with the other disciples and Jesus?

Perhaps John 12 gives us a clue as to one of the things that

might be considered the mark of the apostate. Here, in this

beautiful passage, Mary of Bethany is anointing Jesus in

preparation for his burial. Its an act of extravagant love and

devotion on Marys part. However Judas is incensed by what

he observes. Rather than being moved by Marys devotion he

is alarmed at what he considers to be extravagant waste. He

but is preoccupied with the outward. Apostates are those who

move about in church circles, use our vocabulary and give

the impression of active involvement in kingdom work. Yet,

often that involvement is quite churchy - a preoccupation withstructures and church business rather than with deeper spiritual

issues. The comment of Martyn Lloyd Jones On Hebrews 6:

4 6 is relevant at this point:

What we are told about these people is not that they

reconciled to God; but that they have had certain experiences

which have brought them into the Church and made them think,

and made everyone else think, that they were truly Christian.

They had claimed to believe the truth; they had had some

remarkable experiences in the realm of the Church together with

others, some indeed may have had some of the miraculous gifts.

But all this does not necessarily prove that a man is a Christian,

that he is regenerate.

How are we to respond to apostasy?

Often a consideration of these themes has an adverse affect

on the true people of God. Genuine believers are concerned

about their relationship with Christ, and those who are in danger

of falling away remain careless and unmoved. How can I be

to our studies in the Return of Christ, how do I know that I will

be able to stand when Satan is unbound? This counsel might

seem rather pedestrian and unsensational but there are really

two things you need to do as you consider the Great Apostasy.

Firstly, you must keep close to Christ, His people and His Word

what our forefathers would have called the diligent use of the

means of grace. Daily nurture of our souls is vital. Regular

meeting with Gods people is essential. Secondly, bathe in

the promises of Gods Word. Consider John10: 28 & 29 and

Philippians 1:6. Meditate on Judes doxology. Remember A W

Pink. On entering a shop in Stornoway he is reputed to have

been asked: How are you keeping, Mr Pink?. His reply: Its

God who does the keeping.



A return to the Bible was central to the Reformation

but is Scripture Alone still relevant today? Is this

something that is worth giving time and thought to? Let

us consider the society we live in and think of those

who utterly reject the Bible, those who say they areChristians but doubt the Bible, those who believe in

present prophetical utterances that contradict the Bible,

those who are guided by tradition, those who have

lapsed into traditionalism, and those who believe in, but

ignore the practical teaching of the Bible, and it leaves

us with little option but to answer these questions with a

resounding Yes!

From the earliest times reliance on the Word of God

told by Gods arch enemy, Ye shall not surely die,

(Genesis 3:4), there have been constant attempts to

erode this foundation of our faith. Every generation of

Christians will face this challenge which will manifest

itself in various ways.

We can gain an understanding of why Scripture Alone

is so foundational to our faith by examining where the

Bible came from, what it contains, and why it was given.

1) The contents of the Bible came from our Triune

God. Paul advised the young minister Timothy, All

scripture is given by inspiration of God (2 Timothy3:16). Inspiration of God is a single Greek word

theopneustos meaning God-breathed, so the

scriptures are divinely inspired, or inspired by God.

2 Peter 1:21 elaborates, For the prophecy came not in

old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake

as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

2) The Bible was written over 1500 years by more

than 40 authors these authors came from different

backgrounds and lived in three different continents

(Asia, Africa and Europe). The Bible contains 66separate books, 39 in the Old Testament and 27 in the

New Testament. The Bible starts in Eden, tells of the

Fall, tells of the coming Messiah, then gives a synopsis

of Jesus life on earth - His virgin birth, His ministry, His

death, His resurrection and ends with the prophecy of

His return!

3) Presbyterian Creed states, the supreme judge by

which all controversies of religion are to be determined,

and all decrees of councils, opinions of ancient

writers, doctrines of men, and private spirits, are tobe examined, and in whose sentence we are to rest,

can be no other but the Holy Spirit speaking in the

Scripture. (WCF 1:X) Presbyterians also believe that

the Scriptures principally teach, what man is to believe

concerning God, and what duty God requires of man.

(Shorter Catechism Q&A 3)

Does an acceptance of Sola Scriptura or Scripture

Alone mean we should not use creeds? The simple

answer is No. It is important to remember that creeds

are public documents and generally have been in use

over a long period of time, some for many centuries.

These documents have been studied and debated in

the light of scripture by the best theological minds and

have stood the test of time. AA Hodge states, The realquestion is not, as often pretended, between the Word

of God and the creed of man, but between the tried and

proved faith of the collective body of Gods people, and

the private judgement and the unassisted wisdom of

the repudiator of creeds. (Hodge, 1869, p2)

The Reformers insistence on Sola Scriptura brought

has taken place in the past...it is even more important

Sola Scriptura would bring to our lives, our community

and our government.

Next we will look at Sola Gratia/Grace Alone.

A time to be born and a time to die

What does it mean when a medical team record DNAR in a

patients notes? DNAR stands for do not attempt resuscitation,

but this phrase in itself needs explained. Within medical practice

the term resuscitation refers to a variety of techniques used

in the setting of severe illness with risk of immediate death. For

example, it may describe the vigorous transfusion of blood to

a patient with severe bleeding. In the setting of DNAR orders

it refers to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). These are

techniques used when a patient effectively has no detectable

pulse or blood pressure. Such situations may occur when the

heart is not beating due to chaotic abnormal electrical activity

and is without electrical activity (asystole) or when the heart

has electrical activity but without mechanical effect (known

also the situation most likely to respond to therapy - the others

often arise in the setting of severe systemic illness where the

bodys physiology may be too disturbed to recover despite

interventions from the medical team.

The basic elements of CPR are airway management, assistance

with breathing, and support of the circulation (often referred to as

the ABC of resuscitation). In doing this the cardiac arrest team

may place a tube in the airway, breath for the patient using a bag

and valve system and perform chest compressions to provide a

limited cardiac output - the aim is to deliver enough oxygenated

blood to the brain and heart muscle to prevent irreversible

damage while attempts are made to reverse the problem that

has lead to the cardiac arrest and so restore circulation. Chest

compressions and ventilation in themselves do not restart the

blood reaches the brain and hypoxic brain injury occurs. The

patient may then be left with severe neurological disability afteran otherwise successful resuscitation attempt. Other potential

adverse effects of CPR include fractured ribs, chest wall burns

successful response to CPR fall off dramatically the longer the

heart has been stopped. This is why the cardiac arrest teams are

fast-bleeped to attend collapsed patients. If CPR is to be done,

it must be done without delay; there is no time for deliberation.

Therefore the presumption is made that, unless otherwise stated,

all patients are for a resuscitation attempt in the event of cardiac

arrest.

The survival rate after cardiorespiratory arrest and CPR is

(UK) where CPR is performed for cardiorespiratory arrest whichoccurs in hospital, the chances of surviving to discharge are at

best about 15-20%. Where cardiac arrest occurs out of hospital,

the survival rate is lower, at best 5-10%. Even if the patient

survives to discharge they may not have a full neurological

recovery and may still be suffering from the underlying disease

that lead to their cardiac arrest. A DNAR decision does not mean

withholding other medical interventions.

So, why may a doctor decide that a DNAR order is

appropriate?

Put simply there are two main components to this decision:

Firstly, does the patient wish it? And, would it do any good?

Does the patient want it?

In UK law, if a patient does not consent to a treatment it is

unlawful to administer it - even if withholding the treatmentresults in harm. Just as a surgeon cannot force a patient to

undergo an operation against their will so a physician cannot

deliver CPR if a patient has stated that they would not want it -

this is the sort of situation covered by advanced directives.

The technical term for such patient choice is autonomy. If

a patient is unable to speak for themselves due to coma or

confusion then doctors will try to gauge what their view would

have been by talking to their next of kin. It should be noted that

whilst a patient may decline any treatment which is offered,

autonomy does not mean that they can demand a treatment that

Would it do any good?

This is often a much harder question to answer. The desire to do

The immediate goal of CPR is the restoration of cardiac out-put.

Thus there may be a technically good result from an attempted

resuscitation but if the patient has a diagnosis of advanced

cancer or severe heart failure they may still be in the process

of dying or in pain and so their perception of what constitutes a

good outcome may be different. For some this perception may

be coloured by fear of death. Others will be of the view that their

ultimate good, like the apostle Paul, is to depart and be with

Christ.

As Christians we are committed to the principle of sanctity of life.

We hold that it is wrong to take the life of another human. Butwe also believe that God is sovereign. Within his plan there is

a time to live and a time to die. Modern medicine can offer help

and support that earlier generations could only dream of. But we

must use these techniques wisely. CPR can save lives but it can

only do so in limited circumstances. It is often possible to predict

be wrong to attempt resuscitation - or to expect it.

In this excellent volume, Garry Williams gives brief, yet thorough, biographical sketches of some of the most important

on Augustine of Hippo, the Council of Chalcedon, Martin Luther, William Tyndale, Nicholas Ridley, John Calvin, Anne

Bradstreet, John Owen, Jonathan Edwards and John Laing.

The purpose of the book is to provide a primer in theology, life, and the church from Christians of the past for Christiansof the present. It also serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of some of our spiritual heroes of the past, as well

much, or in some cases even more, than they did in ages past, and a reading of Silent Witnesses will no doubt aid our

understanding of our evangelical heritage and bring us closer to the generations of dead Christians with whom we are

spiritually united in Christ.

The book concludes with a chapter on how we may come to a distinctly Christian view of history by balancing a healthy

suspicion of ourselves (and our potentially biased version of history) on one hand, while on the other, recognising that it is

possible to come to a Gods-eye view of the world as we see how past events only cohere in the light of the Person and

Work of Christ.

This is a timely reminder to a generation of Christian parents of the importance of family worship in the home. The book

can be divided into three main sections: chapters 1-3 deal with the why, chapters 4-7 with the how, and chapters 8-9 with

the encouragement to persevere. Chapter 1 does the ground work explaining who we are and what we are doing as weworship. Then chapters 2 and 3 set out the biblical case for worship in the home as well as some practical reasons for

why this is best practice.

Chapters 4-7 deal with how we can develop a culture and routine of family worship, and much helpful advice is given in

these chapters. We are encouraged not to substitute reading Gods word for reading moral stories or childrens books, not

to underestimate our children and to trust in the power of the word of God. Responsive readings are suggested as a way

of involving the whole family and the memorisation of scripture and catechism are also encouraged.

It is also suggested that the manner in which we worship is important and it should always be conducted regularly and

in a consistent manner, and in an atmosphere that is conducive to reverence and joy. Helopolous also suggests that

we should engage in prayer and singing, giving particular attention to the singing of Psalms. Then he encourages us to

conduct it at the same time in the same place so that a routine is developed that makes it easier to persevere if we are

Chapters 8-9 deliver the motivational speech. By this time we know why we should engage in family worship and a

This book is an important book for parents who need help and encouragement to establish regular family worship in the

home. As Richard D Phillips says,

If your family is not worshipping together in the home, this may be the most important book you read this year.
