After the ceremony which took place In tho Wash

evening, the 'Gospol Church" heretofore known rs
Baptist, change It's slightly. and add tho
sacraments Of baptism and the eucharist, that OF holy
orders also. Their logic demands this There must DO
special grace Va Bsptistc ordnation for otherwise
grave council would not go through tho mere for
mality Of ordaning man who, as q minister
OF another denomination, performed or had the
right perform legally and enthusiastically for ninc
years all the acts which his Baptist ordination
titles him do Tho father, grandfather and great
grandfather Of Emory }. Haynes were In the ministry
OF the Methodist Episcopal Church Each OF thom

himserwas ordained nine years ago. According to
Methodist practice every Bishop is ordained three
times, first q deacon, second elder apd third

twice deacon and elder Dy u minister
who WAS himself three times ordained. Now II there

nine years service IN the Methodist Church he dis
that his baptism was not Scriptural and his
dinatIon was a nuuity, and hence logically all

This Is the doctrine that the editor Of the New York
