KNOB CRyEx. july ism. 1870.

Nix. EDfroR:+The prodicious, far-fetched,
and fallacious comments of Mr.. IA Hcarer" on
an abridged synopsis of the debate between
Messrs. kinzer and Fraser on the action of
Baptism, have Called forth few lines from
my pen: ---3A - = 80 ~. da7i--is'i
that your (Editor's) correspondent reporter
of said debate egregously errs in his version Of
said discussion" In the first place, sir, You
will have TO procure additional affirmation be-
foro You can make the Reporter" and / think,
two thirds ofthe audience of said debate, sue.
cumb TO your bias.and quibbling comments on
said synopsis. "Egregiously ens;' pray
wherein did he deviate from the path of honesty
and rectitudel You say "Mr. X used Tanning
and Campbell to great advantage in proving
the one stolen dip from Turtullian, and proving
immersion of modern date" Fraser had Camp
bells work on baptism, (which reads in sub
stance, Immersion was the only practice of
the church for the the first two and a half cen.
turies." Now, Mr.. Hearer, is this and what
you say are both Campbell's testimony, what
do you think ofthe witness? On th is point Mr..
F. also introduced Mr.. John Wesley, in his
comments on Romans vi, 3, bow testifies as
follows: "Alluding to the ancient manner of
baptism by immersion" .-
You say, "Mr. F. did not prove BY twelve
photographers that immersion alone is bap-
tism." What then did he prove by them? L
will tell you, sir, that the Greek word "baptid-
zo"-the only word used by the Apostles and
Christ to express baptize as we have it in the
common version-means immense, dip, &c.
sprinklng and pouring are not even a seconda-
~ meaning. And more than that, you can find
the names of the twelve, and what they say on
the subject embodied in Stuart's or Campbeips
works ON baptism; or by reference to the synop-
sis you can find out who they are. But YOU
say, "Mr. K. would not receive Mr.. FPS paper
back authority, which made +. complain very
much of the unfairness of X"
Mr.. F. had Campbell on baptism, which, l
deem you'll say is worse than bad authority,
But, Sir, he also had Chapman and Stuart on
baptism; he had the Methodist Discipline and
the Bible. How can you still let your passion
get the upper hand of your better judgement?
You had better repent while it is still to-day, to-
morrow may be too late, by: resembling your
sophistical comments on said synopsis; or will
you still indulgeIyour own connivance. You
well k new the Reporter did not extoll F., Meth
er did he abuse n; neither did he decide the is
sue, but he gave the most prominent points
made by either. Therefore, my friend "Hcar-
er," you had as well cease your Jupiter-like
or associate Herewith more
lightning, if you wish to carry conviction to the
hearts of your hearers.
Neither will Mr.. F. be affrighted from the
scene of action by such thunder, and such little
lightning; hence he, if Mr.. X. is not satisfied,
will not only meet Mr.. h. in Italy, but cross the,
Rubicon into Gaul, and carry the war to Mr..
KS own threshold. VERSUS.

Putnam's Magazine says of the
interviewing reporters that "they
are more numerous, prosecuting
and pestiferous than the tax gath
erers OF the latter days of the Ro-
man Empire. They insist not
only upon entering his house,
questioning his servants, looking
into his closets, rifiing his drawers
and feeling his pockets, but they
put him through a series of cross
examinations, as if he were a criini-
nal upon the stand, or a victim of
the Inquisition."

A gentleman ofStamford, Conn.,,
is raising a crop OF cotton with
every prospect of success. 1t is
not very extensive, but it illus
trates perfectly the tropical nature
OF the present summer, even in
the cool shades of bleak New Eng
land. The seed of this cotton was
sown in a hot bed, in April, and
the plants were set out about the
middle of May. The flowers APP
peared long ago and the hollis are
already fully formed. More prom
ising cotton cannot be seen in
Georgia.
