Excerpt from The Church Clerk: A Handbook for Clerks of Baptist Churches There are forty-seven thousand four hundred and nine Baptist church clerks in the United States, by the last count. That is to say, there are so many Baptist churches, according to the "American Baptist Year-Book " for 1908. Every one of these churches has a clerk. A church may have no pastor, no deacon, no trustee, no treasurer, no meetinghouse, no services, but who ever knew of a Baptist church without a clerk? That is significant. A church, organized on gospel lines, means life - life of the highest order; life means action, and worthy action is worth recording. Church action is recorded in lives finely influenced, and in cherished memories. The clerk s principal official care is to make a written record of it for preservation. Church business is the most important business done on earth. When it is pervaded by the right spirit its binding and loosing are ratified in heaven, an assurance that is given to no other organization however august and wise. The man who officially and faithfully records it renders no slight service. The importance of that service becomes more manifest as the years pass.
