Baldwin, Digitized by LjOOQ IC 270 HISTORY OP BAPTISTS IN MIDDLE STATES They were found alike in Baptist, Methodist, and Congregational churches — ^in a very few instances in Presbyterian churches also. Considerable opposition was manifested by the more conservative, both minis- ters and laymen, to the organization of such societies ; and in cases not a few there were good reasons for anxiety regarding the probable influence of a young people's society. If it were what its name implied, and onl...y young people constituted it, a patent ob- jection was that it would tend to make an unwise and unscriptural line of division in the church. This was not wholly a theoretical objection; for there were societies in the "sixties'' that actually accomplished such a division. The result of such an age-line, in a church of average human nature, would be an increasing feeling of independence on the part of the young people, and increasing per- plexity and irritation on the part of the pastor and older members.
