FEET-wAsHINa.

Next in order is the ordinance Of feet
washing. The authority is from the in-
cident Of Christ washing his disciples feet,
narrated in John 10. They believe the
command in the 18th and 18th verses Of
this chapter to be as literally binding as
the commands elsewhere for tho obser-
vance Of the communion. 1t is observed
as preparation for the Love-feast and
communion, according 70 the statement Of
Christ to Peter in the 10Th verse. In the
observance Of the ordinance the brethren
wash the feet Of the brethren only, and
the sisters Of the sisters. The sexes never,
under any circumstances, wash the feet Of
each other, as has sometimes been charged.
Everything connected with the ordinance
Is done decently and in order. It is OBJ
served at every Loye.feast and communion.

They have no written creed, save the
New Testament, which they regafd as the

same is sufficient now. The minutes of

Next is the Love-ieast, The authority
for this Is predicated upon the fact, that
before Christ instituted tho communion,
on the nightof his betrayal he first partook
Of a supper with his disciples. They make

PRESENT CONDITION.

Owing to the fact that they have never
published any denominational statistics, il
Is somewhat difficult to determine their
exact number. Those, however, who are
acquainted with the entire body, state that
their number is not far from one hundred
thousand. As this estimate was made
several years ago it is likely short Of their
number, for in various localities they have
increased in numbers very fast, and it is
perhaps safe to place their number consid-
erably above one hundred thousand.

It Is part of their religion to inculeate
industry and frugality, abstaining from al
