some one to saw it for him. He went to

do in SO unfortunate predicament. The
learned Professor replied that he was in
want of a job HIMSELF and he would saw it
for him.
This reminds us Of an anecdote related

CIRCUMCISION AND SALVATION.
Debate, page 226.
That circumcision had nothing to do,
directly nor indirectly, with the salvation
Of the child, is evident from this one fact
as We'll as from many other considerations
that if child was about to die on the
seventh day, or SIKH day, or on the Sec
ord day offs lie, the parents would not
circumciSe it. No if it was about to die
one hour before i: was eight days cd, the
Jews would not circumciSt it, If bap-
t;sm came in the room Of circumcision,
why then do many seem so anxious t.
have their infants sprink!ed before they
die
But here wou'd ask, for the sake of
many hating between TWO orinlcns. was
there, since the leg;nnirg Of the world,
