considerable excitement in the capital. Prcsiden,

edge Of the water, went up the steep bank Of
the Jordan. The Greek verb absolutely forbids
the idea of coming up out Of the water from
under it.
Besides Jesus had already been baptized.
Baptism, according to the notion of the Bap-
lists, includes going under the water and being
raised out off Now if the Saviour had been,
in the completion of his baptism, raised up
from under the water, how could il be after
ward said that he went up out of the water
The example of the Saviour, in his baptism,
also demands our particular consideration. Mr..
Hall and all Baptist writer's do impose on weak
minds, in awing and even terrifying them into
what they suppose compliance with the Sa-
viour's mode of baptism, by an exhibition OF the
solemn and affecting grandeur Of the scene
there enacted. We would not dare to detract
the least ray of glory from the scene. But still
the distinction is to be drawn between the bap-
tism itself and its attendant circumstances.
Now there was nothing in the Saviour's bap-
tism itself more than in any ordinary baptism
that is. there was only the application Of wa.
ter by regularly commissioned minister.
His example in baptism is not imi,able by
us in the dignity arising from his own charac-
ter, the voice Of the Father, and the descent of
the Spirit upon him in the emblem of dove.
No such circumstances can attend the baptism
of an ordinary individual. 1t is again no exam
pie to us in the design for which it was perform.

! it is remarkable that neither John nor the Sa.
viour himself ever spake Of his example il, this
respect as requiring our imitation. We are
commanded to follow the Saviour in his holy
dispositions and conduct, but never in his bap.
t,sm. If the following of the Saviour into q
watery grave, ms the Baptists say and insist
upon, had been of such special importance a:
they make it, surely the Saviour would have
issued special command upon the point, or, ir
some way, particularly held up his example il

think that il would be much better if Baptist
ministers would call upon their hearers to fol
