Rev. DIR, Cromwell, pastor Of 81. Marys Pro-
testant Episcopal church, on Twenty-third
street, between G and II, discoursed yesterday
morning from the text. visa Of 81. Pauls eplstle
to the Romans. His remarks were confined to
Christian baptism, and he began by saying that
this subject does not receive the attention Il
should. Christ was baptised, as were his fol-
lowers. II Is not an outward form, but an In
ward one, and 1t should be held In the highest
generation. II Is not an unmeanlng rite, but one
full Of sacredness. 1t Is true that baptism alone
docs no good, but assistance must he derived
from the Holy Spirit. Tue term baptism Is full
OF vital Significance, and does for us that which
God has ordered. Ii transfers US from a state OF
nature into the Kingdom OF God.
The Church Is the body OF Christ, and baptism
gratis US into that body. lie claimed that on the
baptism OF q child It naturally becomes u child OF
the Church, and by baptism It Is grated into the
Church. II Is not done by man but by Christ,
through baptism and by his ministers as his
agents, who distribute the elements OF Chrlst's
dying love. Christ came into the world to put
away sacrificing himself for us. Baptism IS for
the same purpose, and with Christ by baptism
we are buried with him. lie closed his discourse
by advising his hearers to live up to the obliga-
tions taken In baptism and abstain from all
neshy lusts and live pure and holy lives, and not
forget that they are branches OF the vine grated
into Christ by baptism taken; taken from an un-
cody state and made members Of ChrispB family,
with suficient power TO save ourselves.
