think their work is done when the ex-
element is over. This is wrong. We
are under as much obligation to serve God
at one time as at another. And If the
church would do her duty as she should
if each member felt as though the success
Of the work under God, depended upon
him; if all had The spirit of Paul; if we

B a PITS M

Among the wonders of this world is to
be recorded The fact that with the Bible in
hand men have placed baptism in almost
everyvariety OF shape and haveiepresent
ed it as having for its object almost every
thing that imagination could invent.
Sprinkling, pouring and immersing have
been called the mode; infants, sinners and
christians have been the subjects; initiation
into the church. d siga and seal ofthe COW
enant, profession offaith 10 Christ, TO show
an expectation of a resurrection, and last
| to obtain pardon Of sin have been the OBJ
tiects. Because infants cannot believe nor
ipromise, the godfather and god-mother
mummerv was long since invented. andis
still practiced by thousands of Catholics
and Episcopalians. The halfway cove
nant plan was invented BY dissenters TO
keep along the infant .sprinkling, which
dispensing with state religion and god
fathers. was likely to destroy The old
lplan Of pardon by baptism went on well
in the daek ages, but the reformation be-
lgun by Luther struck death blow to it;
and ever SINCE that day, infant sprinkling
| fas declined in proportion as the promise
of pardon has not accompanied it. The
Inconsistency of promising pardon and
amendment of life through sponsors every
Iopen eye can see. And the folly Of look
ling for pardon through baptism alone in
lany form, in any age all but the blind must
lsee.s
| In the midst ofallthis trash. thank God,
I've have the plain Bible before US. Repent,
believe and be Baptized, is the plain rule.
Traditions of men, whether old or new,
none need follow. or be troubled with, if
they will but open their eyes to Bible
truth. A thousand infant baptisms can
never take away one sin, nor make one
an heir of heaven A thousand adult bap-
<itisms can never make one christian, nor
wash away the stain of sin. The blood
of Christ cleanseth from all sin" None

If such taste is to prevail. the speaker
must become harlequin. a monntebank,
a public jester, IN order to secure an au-
dience. In vain may we look for the ma
terials of an army of moral reformers
among triflers like these. Like the Alh-
enians. they may readily open their ears
to every new thing. But like the Athe-
mans. they will as readily turn away m

speaker "a Paul though he may bel has
nothing to entertain them with, but sober

Stupidity and dailness may indeed put
on the airs division, and stalk with mock
solemnity in high places, but this furnish
es no good reason why sobriety should be
hooted out of the house of prayer, or Why
wisdom should borrow the cap and bells
of folly and play the bafoon.
Let no Christian reformer imagine him
self useful. any further than he IS instfu-
mental in persuading thepeople to consld-
