I have seen the need of a system of Bible studies!n which the Bible could be taught in such a connected manner that the young could learn the plan of salvation as taught in the Bible, and then learn how to live that they may enter heaven. In our present literature these things are not taught plain enough to be understood by the majority. I have suggested a three-years’ course of Bible studies in these lessons, under the title of "Bible Studies," and shall send it forth as an evangelist to do good at all places where used. We take up a three-years’ course of New Testament study, asking questions for two years, and forcing the student to go to the Bible to find the answer. As many important items are connected with each lesson not answered in the chapter considered, you will find general questions at the close of each lesson, which we hope will cause much general reading and searching both Old and New Testaments for the answers. After two years of studying the Bible in consecutive chapters we then spend a year on subjects, dealing with almost all practical points connected with the Christian system. I do not examine Revelation in these lessons, as I am not well enough versed in that book to teach it. These lessons are only suggestive to all churches of Christ. We hope to bring about more Bible study, more harmony and union among the children of God, to bring us nearer together and kill out the modern Sunday School idea, and our present system of International literature, which I think is five years wasted in seven. This book is not a substitute for the Bible, but to help us to understand the Bible. Nothing but ignorance and prejudice will cause my brethren to fight this book. My teaching in it is Scriptural, and I am ready and able to defend the same. Those who fight its teachings are not fighting me, but God, Christ and the Holy Scriptures as well. In love submitted, J. D. TANT ======================================================================== CHAPTER 2: 004 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF JEFFERSON DAVIS TANT ======================================================================== Biographical Sketch of Jefferson Davis Tant Biographical Sketch of J. D. Tant Jefferson Davis Tant was born June 28, 1861, at Cartersville, Georgia. His parents were William and Mattie (Lloyd) Tant. At the age of 14, Tant joined the Methodist Church. At the age of 15 he moved with his parents from Georgia to Texas. About this time, he became interested in an education and, fortunately, he lived near a high school. Unfortunately, he had only one dollar to supply all of his earthly needs. He invested his dollar in three yards of cloth from which his mother made him a pair of pants. He started to school without a single school book and one pair of pants. At school, he would dodge around the children and study his lessons on their books with them, until one day a schoolmate cursed him and told him if his old daddy could not get him some books that he had better quit. Discouraged, he told his troubles to his teacher, who agreed that he would leave one window unfastened each night so his pupil could come and get the books for his lesson the next day, learn his lessons, and put the books back next morning before school. This he did for two years, and many times three o’clock in the morning found him after his lessons with a little brass lamp to study by. Jefferson Davis Tant was in the school room each day but never looked at a book, yet at time for recitation he seldom failed to answer all the questions. The children begged him to tell them how he knew his lessons without studying. This he kept as a profound secret. The news spread that he was an "idiot" and people often visited the school to see "Old man Tant’s ’idiot’ son that learned his lessons without studying." After two years, a lady learned of his desire for an education and loaned him $20 to buy his books. The last two years he was in school, he was in a class alone. He had passed all the other students, not because he had more ability but because he used what he had. The Reverend Jefferson Davis Tant, duly ordained in the Methodist ministry, became a circuit-rider in North Texas in the year 1880. His work as a Methodist minister was destined to be a short one. In 1881, he moved to Buda, Texas, where in August of that year, he heard W. H. D. Carrington, a minister of the Church of Christ, preach the gospel. He liked what he learned. In those days, the church was often referred to as "Campbellites." The meeting ran from two weeks to a month. Tant decided to go back and hear what the "Campbellite" preacher had to say further. Carrington took the Bible, read the passages and explained them clearly, especially the verses that told what one must do to be a Christian or to be saved. On August 14, 1881, Tant came forward in Carrington’s meeting and gave the preacher his hand. He was openly weeping as he did so, weeping from fear, from gratitude. Since he had been immersed, he was received into the fellowship of the Buda church on his statement that he was "satisfied" with his baptism. It was only one week later that young Jefferson Davis Tant received a written statement from the Buda Church of Christ, commending him to the brotherhood to preach the gospel of Christ and baptize any that he was instrumental in converting to Christ. The statement was signed by two elders and two preachers. 1883 was a milestone in Tant’s life. It was then that he received his very first compensation as a preacher of God’s word. He checked his records and found that he received $9.75 for the year. $5.00 of this amount came from performing a wedding ceremony. J. D. Tant married Laura Warren on March 26, 1890, at Georgetown, Texas. E. Hansborough performed the ceremony. To this union, two children were born: Ira, a son who lived to be 10 years old, and Davis, a daughter. The Tants lived at Hamilton, Texas. On January 4, 1894, after a hard fight with pneumonia, Laura died. Her body was laid to rest in the old Hamilton Cemetery Hamilton was the home of J. D. Tant for nearly 15 years, his longest residence in any one place during the 80 years of his life. Tant married Nannie Green Yater on Wednesday, December 30, 1896. It was a double wedding with Nannie marrying J. D. and her sister, Fannie Mills (who was never known by anything but her nickname "Kanna") marrying Albert Gebhart. Felix C. Sowell performed the wedding ceremony. Tant preached all over the nation. Gospel preachers were few and far between. He was in great demand, ordinarily receiving more than 200 invitations per year for gospel meetings. His record was 269 invitations in a single year. Obviously, he could not hold more than 20 or 25 of these, since most of them were of two weeks’ duration. After living in Hamilton, Texas, for 15 years, Tant moved to Victoria, Texas, and then to Quanah, Texas. He moved to Macon, Tennessee, in 1904. (Yater Tant was born there in 1908.) Then the Tants moved to Alamogordo, New Mexico, in 1912, to Cleburne, Texas in 1916, then to Menard, Texas, Rogers, Arkansas, Greenville, Mississippi, DeQueen, Arkansas, Brownsville, Texas, and then to Los Fresnos, Texas, where he spent his remaining days. One day, sitting quietly in his chair, he said, "There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God . . . and I long for that rest! " This was the last scripture that he was heard to quote. He wanted to see his children once more and sister Tant wrote to all of them requesting that they come as soon as possible. The last two Lord’s Days he was not able to attend services. H. D. Jeffcoat, preacher for the Brownsville Church, brought the Lord’s Supper to him May 24. Those assembled sang, prayed, and broke bread together. But on the last Lord’s Day of his life, June 1, 1941, he did not partake of the Supper. Knowing his weak condition, friends came to encourage him. They visited, stood up to leave and Tant stood up with them and walked into another room. He sat down in a chair, turned his eyes for a last long searching look into Nannie’s face, and without speaking a word, quietly died. It was 4:30 P.M., Sunday, June 1, 1941. Two funeral services were held. The first was at the Brownsville Church of Christ with H. D. Jeffcoat and James W. Adams officiating. Tant had requested that the service be conducted like any normal preaching service with congregational singing. Jeffcoat read the scripture and led the prayer. Adams spoke on 1 Timothy 4:1-8 paying tribute to the great work of J. D. Tant. The second funeral service was held at the Central Church of Christ, Cleburne, Texas, Wednesday morning, June 4. The principal address was given by W. K. Rose with whom Tant had held a long time agreement that whichever of them survived would speak at the funeral of the other. Scripture was read by G. H. P. Showalter, prayer was led by Cled E. Wallace, and a short address preceding Rose’s talk, was made by Foy E. Wallace, Jr. Many gospel preachers came from their fields of labor to pay tribute to this great gospel preacher who had fallen asleep in the Lord. Old time friends, companions of his youth, were present to shed their tears with his wife, Nannie, the children, and his only surviving brother, James Monroe Tant. John W. Akin, who had given the suit in which he was to be buried, wept unashamedly as he looked for the last time upon the still and bloodless face of his friend. The funeral caravan moved slowly to the old Cleburne Memorial Cemetery, where all that is mortal of "J. D. Tant, Texas Preacher" now sleeps beneath a simple stone bearing the legend: Jefferson Davis Tant 1861 - 1941 "I have fought a good fight I have finished my course I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7 ======================================================================== CHAPTER 3: 005 MATTHEW 1-2 ======================================================================== Matthew 1-2 FIRST YEAR’S STUDY —LESSON I Matthew CHAPTERS 1 AND 2 (165) What book are we now studying?
