Opposite it is the Dopper Church, in which Kruger used occasionally to preach.
His Dopper following was always unswerving in its support, and at all critical times in the internal quarrels of the state rallied round him.
The others are the Nederduitsch Gereformeerde Kerk, an offshoot of the Church of the same name at the Cape, and the Gereformeerde Kerk (the " Dopper " Church) with some 15,000 members and adherents in the Transvaal.
The " Dopper " Church, an offshoot of the Separatist Reformed Church of Holland, is distinguished from the other Dutch churches in being more rigidly Calvinistic and " Biblical," and in not using hymns.
Of these the narrowest, most puritanical, and most bigoted was the Dopper sect, to which Kruger belonged.
