Matthew, 20: 10 Mark, IL 4o' IL any
one calls this declaration in question, let him
prove, from the Scriptures, its falsehood.
Second We say that Jesus Christ did not
receive Christian baptism at the hands of
John the Baptist, because whatever was the
nature aud design of Johns baptism, it was
not Christian baptism. 1t is admitted by the
church of God-by Christians everywhere
that whatever be the mode of Christian bap-
tism, it is in the name or into (Which would
be more correct) the name of the Father and
of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, (Matthew,
2S:19) or in the name of Jesus Christ.
Acts, 2:38. Now, surely, no one will dars
say that John pronounced, when baptzing
Jesus-whatever that may mean-the words ::
II baptize you, Jesus Christ, in the name Of
the Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Ghost" Such words would have been un-
meaning to John; and how, or for what pur-
pose could Jesus have been baptized in the
name of Jesus?
Again: John the Baptist was not New
Testament ululster, auu uau Ho liShI W ~
minister New Testament ordinances. The
Saviour says concerning John, that he was
"more than prophet, and less than the least
iu the kingdom of heaven" Matthew, II.
BY "kingdom of heaven" we are clearly to
understand the Gospel pispensation. John
was superior to all the prophets in point of
privileges and light, but he that lives in Cos
pei times enjoys greater privileges and more
light than he. John the Baptist as the
Syriac version of the New Testament has it,
"John, the stander up"-was the forerunner of
the Messiah. He belonged to neither dispen-
sation but formed the connecting link of the
two dispensations. He began his BAPTISM
