from the water" The proposition
"apo" used in Math. 3:16 never sig
nifes "out Of" and it will be remem-
bered that I challenged Disciple CIV.
II. Hook and M. Y. Duncan both to
show single instance in the N. 7.
where the single sex" meant 'out
Of" and neither of those very skillful
and forward controversialists even
attempted to do it. So there is no
'out of the water" in Christ's bap-
tlsm.
There is another point wish now
to examine. 1t has been asserted by
dippers, ADLER and better educated
than those who have been advocating
immersion" in the LEDGER, that
''there is no instance in the o. T.
where any person sprinkled water
upon another person and that action
called baptism" Now let us see.
Turn now to Numbers 1918, "a
clean person shall take hyssop and
dip it in the water and sprinkle upon
him that touched bone or one slain,
or one dead or a grave Here the
"clean person. is the administrator,
"the person defiled by the dead" is
the Subject of the baptism" the
water is the element and sprinkling
is the mode. Verse 20 says that it
: was the "sprinkling of the water Of
separation" that was the cleansing.
Now look at Ecclesiasticus $3.50
and read "Belng baptized from the
dead and again touching it, what prof
,, its his washing?" This book of Eccle-
siasticus, or Son of Slrax, is in Greek
and while it is not admitted to be OF
canonical authority by Protestants,
:, yet it was in use in the Savior's time
and is generally considered valuable
as history. Whatever its value a.
history its authority in the use o.
Greek words is not doubted. Nov
compare the language of Number
: 1918 with Ecclesiasticus $3.50 ant
;, you will see that the "sprinkling O
:, water upon the person defiled b
" touching the dead' is called "bap
= tizing from the dead" by the Son o
L Sirax. 1t can mean nothing else. S
- 1 have found the place where on
J person sprinkled another with waite

4 Picnic Prophecy

4 Picnic Prophecy.
The picnic season now is here,
And the paragraphist
Must furnish up with new veneer
The jests we long have missed.
The young man in the new light pants
Win crush the blithe squash pie;
The sandwiches alive with ants
Will make the children cry.
Fond lovers in the forest glade,
Their eager love will tell,
When all at once the timid maid
Will see snake and yell.
The man who swings the pretty girls
Will make his shoulders lame;
The dude who tries to row boat
Will wonder why he came.
The thunder storm that ends the fun
Will crash down prompt at four;
With startled shrek the girls will run
And drabbled skirts deplore.
Oh, yes, the picnic seasons here,
hhu thC pdA as7 q ePAAoC
Will do his duty, never fear
And yet, he'd not be missed.
An Old-FashiOned N0segay.
An old-fashioned nosegay, it stands

In old-fashioned shape and in old

Twas culled by my mother, and old
fashioned lady,
And set here to grant me an old-fash'
ioned wish.
There's pinks, and sweet-williams
with bergamot mingled.
And gay ragged robins of every shade
There's roses of May time and milky
white pansies;
A prettier nosegay could hardly bt
made.
A cluster of sweet-scented flowers o.
woodbine.
And yes, there's a bunch of red clov
er in view,
And here, like star, is waxed da,
lily,
Well flanked by a mass of the tai
feverfew.
And low twined around is a spray o
ground ivy.
Its tiny blue flowers just peeping il
sight.
While fern leaves serve we'll for
background effective
To just a small bunch of the pretty
by-night.
An oId-fashioned nosegay with stem
long and slender.
Their texture unmarried by sticl
wire or thong;
An fashioned girl sitting here
admire,
And weave up their names in an ole
fashioned song.
