| Brief Biography: from The Disciples of Christ in Canada Since 1830 (1949) by Amos and Almira McDonald: "Then Oshawa had the addition of a notable preacher from Kentucky, who has fled to Canada "to escape this terrible war"--the Civil War, then raging. In American Discipledom Moses E. Lard is noted for his scholarly writings, volumes of commentaries, and for Lard's Quarterly [414] (1863-8). Much of his teachings harmonized with the early teachings of Campbell, known today as "anti". Like other and lesser men, he saw new truths too intensely, and lost the perspective that time often yields. Lard preached Restoration principles effectively in the churches of Bowmanville, Oshawa, and Pickering, and stirred up great opposition by his power to draw people. Out of Oshawa and Bowmanville there grew small congregations at Butterfield, Charlesville, and Clark townline; but Ash concludes that it is not desirable to plant real churches so near stronger ones, as they were weakened by it. |
