Prize Catechism on the Principles and Position of the Reformed Presbyterian Church.

1858-Samuel Simms.-This catechism was written to set forth the principles of the Reformed Presbyterian Church amongst the churches. A production of the Irish RP Church, this small book contains a number of historical points peculiar to the Irish RP Church. While quite useful in setting forth the distinctive principles of the RP church, Simms is especially careful to press the practical claims of religious principles. While many bodies may profess adherence to a number of points held by Reformed Presbyterians, Simms makes clear only genuine Reformed Presbyterians are willing to practice their principles.
