Mr.. Editor Your correspondent Lone STAR
alter bnasng that hIs so good that il does
not need strong advocate; and after having put
out his strength upon it proposes to " end this
discussion" through the press. Very well. What
has he done denied and he undertook to prove +;
but after having written twice as much as | have,
up TO this article, he has provud nothing. lie has
indeed drawn some half dozen infefenccs not one of
which necessarily results from the premises. l. He
inlers, because the Greek word baptlz0 snmetimrs
means to immerse therefore it always does , He
lnieTs, because the dead are now buried by pLtting
them down in graves and sprinkling or pouring
earth upon them, that therefore TO be buried in bap-
tism is to be Immersed! g. lie niers, that because
Christ went down TO Jordan and baptized by
John, he was surely immersed! H. tie inters, that
because Christ commanded his disciples to go and
aptze all nations and the word baptlse sometimes
means to Dip therefore he commanded them to i'm
merse all the converts they made ! 5. He iniers,
that though st. Paul speaks of "divers washings"-
baptisnois, in his Eplste to the Hebrews; and of
Zone baptsm"-baptismG, in his Epstle to the
Observation-Disclosures there are not divers baptsms,
but one aud that is immersion 6. lie infers, that
DIR. Clarke and Mr.. Wesley erred because they had
not read through the New Testament, but that when
they had accomplished that task they were INNER
sionists What asked was proof not nferences
He travelled out of his "discpine" TO bring these
learned Methodist writers to his support. But when
his witnesses testified against him it as their ig
nOrGnce, they had not then read all the New Tes.
lament! quoted in my last DE. Clarke'S testimony.
now give Wesley: Ii cannot be certainly proved
from Scripture that even Johns baptism Of our Sa.
viour or that administered by his disciples, was by
immersion no, nor that of the Eunuch baptized by
Philip"
The quotation made in my last was from an IN.
thor who gives upwards of forty English words in.
to which the original GIcck word is translated Ho
says: "As 10 its literal aud primary import have
no hesitation in asserting that it is to dip. 1t
will be found that the most ancient Greek writer's
never employ it for the act OF immersion, or at least
for one man dipping another"
Speaking of the case | addnccd he says: '.Thcre
was nothing in the act to represent II burial" Who
ever sa there was | am sure | never did. He !
further says; I" Go teach all nations bupIizing |
hem,' &C., means itnmerse, aud had this word been
translated this would have been iis meaning. What
n vast amount of trouble il would have prevented
But unfortunately for immersionists 1t was not.
Those learned tranSlators saw il would read very
10 give such a translation wherever the
word occurs. As for example Mat 3: ] |: 81 in
