SANDEMANIANS, san-de-m66'ni-ans or man'i-ans (GLASSITES): A sect founded in Scotland c. 1730 by John Glas (q.v.). The basal idea of the founder was the restoration of the apostolic Church, realizing the complete independence of each local church from every other and from the State. Chief emphasis was laid upon the Lord's Supper, while feet-washing, the kiss of charity, the lovefeast, and a limited community of goods were introduced; games of chance, eating of blood and things strangled, and the use of the lot were forbidden, and church government was placed in the hands of bishops, elders, and teachers. The name came from the son-in-law of Glas, Robert Sandeman (b. at Perth, Scotland, 1718; d. at Danbury, Conn., Apr. 2, 1771), who was appointed an elder in the new organization, exercised his ministry at Perth, Dundee, and Edinburgh, and sailed in 1764 to America, where he founded churches. The denomination is now nearly or quite extinct.

SANDER, IMMANUEL FRIEDRICH EMIL:

Pulpit orator and polemist; b. in Saxony in 1797; d. at Wittenberg Apr. 28, 1859. In early life he was repelled by the current rationalism, and as a minor official of St. Paul's Church in Leipsic, in the first part of his career, he began to preach with emphasis the Gospel of the Crucified One. In 1822 he was called to Wichlinghausen in Wupperthal, where he exerted his activities in the same direction, translating into German, in collaboration with C. H. F. Bialloblotzky, Pusey's Enquiry into the Probable Causes of the Rationalist Character lately Predominant in the Theology of Germany (Elberfeld, 1829), and following this up with his own Theologisches Grutachten (Barmen, 1836), which was preceded and followed by several volumes of sermons and by Beleuehtung (1836) aimed at the Prediger-Bibel of

Eduard Hillamann (1835), which last brought him into court on charges of libel. He also attacked Droste-Visehering (q.v.) in Ueber den Frieden unter der Kirche and den Staaten and Das Papatthum in seiner heudgen Gestalt, in seinen Ursprt4ngen and endlichen Ausgangen (Elberfeld, 1845). To this period belongs also his treatise on Gal. iii. 20 (1840) and Der Romanismus, seine Tendenzen and seine Methodik (Essen, 1843). About this time he accepted the ideas of Johann Tobias Beck (q.v.), and placed the beginning of the parousia (see MILLENNIUM, MILLENARIANIsM) in 1847. In 1854 he accepted a call to Wittenberg, where he came to occupy the positions of city preacher, superintendent, and director of the preachers' seminary till his death. He continued to issue sermons, occasional and others, the most significant based upon the Revelation of John.
