  Mennonist \Men"non*ist\, Mennonite \Men"non*ite\, n. (Eccl.
     Hist.)
     One of a small denomination of Christians, so called from
     Menno Simons of Friesland, their founder. They believe that
     the New Testament is the only rule of faith, that there is no
     original sin, that infants should not be baptized, and that


     Christians ought not to take oath, hold office, or render
     military service.
