ditons Why be so obstinate, and break the
poor mans heart!
But let us hear Dr. Kurta, the able Lutheran
Minister, on this point. lie says, that no one,
not utterly regardless of his reputation, would
hazard an assertion so entirely uufounded, that
Luther did not acknowledge the propriety and
validity Of baptism by pouring. From an ex-
tensive examination Of his writings DIR. Kurtz
says at is highly probable that, AT an early
period of the reformation, he inclined to the O.
pinion that infants should be pretty well dipped;
but, at no time, did he consider dipping essen
tial." lie speaks of the dipping of child in
water, or sprinkling it with water. Again :
"Inasmuch as there is neither ornament, nor
honor, at baptism, and God does, outwardly,
apply no more than handful of water" &c.
Again ave must use our hand and tongue in
administering baptism, by sprinhiing water
upon the subject in connection with the words
prescribed by God" Having mentioned both
dipping and pouring he adds "for all that is
essential TO baptism is the use Of natural wa
ter in connection with the words of the nsti-
tuition" "'rhis is the truth--that baptism does
not consist in the quantity of water used, but
in the use of water as an emblem of fcleansing :;
and few drops are as significant as an ocean.
"Luthcr was baptized in his infancy by pouring,
and, considering that valid, he was never re-
baptized"
But the pleasantly, in relation to much wa
ter, in which Luther INDUCES in the following
letter to his wife, is conclusive proof of his op-
position, in his late days, to immersion -
