How Were the Israelites Baptized9 ?

St. Paul desired to keep before the
church the true mode of baptism; he
therefore refers to the baptism of the
Israelites, the history of which, when
fully understood, is easy of comprehen-
sion. The Apostle says Moreover,
brethren, I would not that ye should be
ignorant how that all our fathers were
under the cloud, and all passed. through
the sea, and were all baptized unto Mos
es in the cloud and in the sea. AS they
were all baptized in the sea" if we had
no further evidence of the mode of their
baptism we might come to the conclusion
that they were all immersed. But the
history forbids immersion.
l. The Bible assures us that there were
present large crowd, now supposed
about three millions, And the children
of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Sue
Goth about six hundred thousand on foot
that were men, besides children, and a
mixed multitude went up with them, and
hocks and herds, even very much cattle. F"
(Ex. xii, 81 38.
They crossed at night. The pillow
of cloud gave light by night and in the
morning watch the Lord troubled the
Egyptians and commands Moses to
stretch his hand over the sea that the
waters might come upon the Egyptians.
(Ex. xiv, 10, 26.)
8. The Children of Israel went into the
midst of the sea upon dry land, and the
waters were wall unto them on their
right hand and on their left (Ex.xi % }
4. At the time of their baptism the bed
of the sea was dry and the walls of water
on their right and left were frozen. "And
with the blast of thy nostrils the waters
were gathered together, the floods stood
upright as heap, and the depths were
CONCEALED in the host of the sea-" (Ex.
XIV, 81 He inquired where was the wa.
ter to immerse them in, and how could
they immerse so many in a few hours;
and yet St. Paul says they were all bap.
tized. The Bible shows that the water
fell upon the people. David said, "The
waters saw thee, o God. the waters saw
thee they were afraid, the depths also
were troubled. The clouds poured out
water. This pouring or raining down
upon the people, ST. Paul calls BAPTISM.

OPPOSED TO THE WAR

The following remark IS attributed
to Judge Estill, of Holmes county:
The Democrats of Columbus may have sup
ported the war, but I'll be hanged If we Gid in
Holmes county, nor do yet.
The writer hereof knows something
of the course of the Holmes county
Democrats, or a considerable portion
of them, during the war; the cofnpa-
nv of rihemen to which he belonged
having been sent, with a detachment
of infantry and two pieces OF artllle-
ry. into that county, in 1868, for the
purpose of putting down a miniature
Democratic rebellion.
The Democrats of Holmes arrived
at the conclusion that the war
was a failure, an old John Brown
raid, and that the National Govern
ment could not coerce a State. Hence,
when the news reached Holmes that
the abolition Government was
about to send it's emissaries into that
county for the purpose of making a
draft of men for the Union army, the
Democracy of Holmes arose, in all its
grandeur, armed itself with shotguns
and squirrel rifles, went into camp,
threw out pickets, and awaited the
moment when the ''blue-coated hire
lings' should have the temerity to rush
headlong into the jaws of death.
But alas! The Democratic mind,
though filled with visions of the glory
of defiance of a corrupt Abolition
Government, was entirely unprepared
for the stern realities Of war. At last,
one hot day in summer the ''hirelings'
wended their weary way along the
road which skirted the Democratic
camp, the advance was fired upon by
the Democratic pickets, some four OF
five of whom were posted behind piles
of rocks. The ''Yanks," more amused
than alarmed, fired volley at these
pickets. When the Abolition" bull
lets commenced singing about thei1
ears, and clouds of dust began to as
cend from the rock-piles, then these
fellows began to think there was more
in the war, after all, than IAN old John
Brown raid" One dose was enough
The pickets promptly ''came in
the main force promptly took tc
their heels.
Yes, the Democrats of Holmes were
opposed to the war. They wanted the
Union soldiers to walk over then
dead bodies before going South, but
they didn't want them to be in such q
devilish hurry about it. Had the
Southern armies been composed OF
such men as these Holmes county reb-
els, we would have had no need of oul
Grants, Shermans and Thomases in
| cruShin0 the rebellion

Our Democratic friends are still pa
rading Gen. Ewing's war record be-
fore the public. The funny part of it
is, not one Democrat in fifty knows
anything about Ewing's war record
In fact, few of them know that he
has war record. Now, Democratic
friend, when you go to recite to the
people the war records of the different
candidates, tell them something like
this, and they will believe you =
When Andy Hickenlooper's cannon
were battering down opposition
to the National authority; when they
were cutting wide swaths of death in
the ranks Of the enemy, and writing in
blood the story of Democratic infamy,
Gen. Ewing was sitting quietly in
camp, issuing orders which compelled
the non-combatants of the South to
''vamoose," git up and git light
out, ''cut stick and put.
