are gratiied to be assured that the same

eminently Characteristic of the subject
of this brief article. q .' i-'s .i..'1
JoH' c. UsDERwooD possesses ma
ny qualities that entitle his claims to
the favorable consideration of the peo-
pie. /. He is a man of brain and We
racity. III. He is modest and unpre-
tentious. III. He is both professed
and practical Christian. Nv. He is
wholly devoid of bad or exceptionable
habits. V. He is a total abstinence
man from conviction of duty to himself,
his family, his neighbors, and from
religious principle.
Such is his character given to US by
those in whose words we have the ut
most confidence. He does not make
the barrooms of the towns he visits his
headquarters. He dses not bribe voters
with drains nor indulge IN dram drink
ing himself He is not profane or OBJ

A Wisconsin secular paper contains
the following good story:
One who does not believe in INNER
sion for baptism, was holding protrac-
ted meeting, and one night preached on
the subject of baptism. In the course
of his remarks he said, some believe it is
necessary to go down into the water,
and come out of it to be baptised. But
this he claimed to be fallacy for the
proposition into" of the Scriptures,
should be rendered differently, as it
does not mean into all times. "Mosses. :"
he said, 1--WE are told, went up INTO the
mountain, and the Savior was taken in
to a high mountain. etc. Now we do not
suppose that either went INTO the noun
tain but unto it. So with going down
INTO the water, it means simply going
down close by or near to the water, and
