DUNCAN'S GOSPEL NO 6.

Owing to lack of space there were
two or three points in No. 5 that [
failed to notice. 1st. Mr.. D. asserts
that sit is certain that no Greek
word expresses the idea of immersion
50 clearly as baptizo." We have
proved that there is no dip or i'm
merse in the word baptizo at all.
And to make that clear we will repeat
what we have before published. Take
the septuagint Greek of the 0. T.,
translated from the Hebrew B. G.
$50 years, and compare it with the
Latin Vulgate of the 4th century,
and you will find in Psalm 6S, Go in
Eng) 8, Is, the Greek word kata-
frontizo translated by the Latin de-
murgo; in FIX. 15:5, 10, the words
kataduno and duno rendered into
Latin by the word submergo; and in
End Maccabees 1924 the Greek bu-
thizo is translated by the Latin sub
merge. Now look in the New Tes-
lament. Turn to Math. 1880 AMI
see katafrontizo translated into Latin
nv merge, and in Math. 1876 by the
word demergo. In Luke 5:7 and 1st
Tim. 60 the word buthizo is trans
lated into Latin by merge. Here are
four Greek words turned into Latin
by competent scholars by the word
merge and its compounds, but bapti-
70 is not in SINGLE instance so rem
dered If baptizo is the right word
for immerse (submerse) why did the
translato1s of the Vulgate, who tn
derstood both Greek and Latin, new
er render it by merge or any OF its
compounds? I may have come along

A CHILD AND A WASP.
His Mother Tells the Nurse to Let
Him Have 1t, and he Gets Ii.

Among the passengers on the ex-
press was very much overdressed
woman, accompanied by a bright
looking Irish nurse girl, who had
charge of self-willed, tyranical 2
year-old boy, OF whom the over
dressed woman was plainly the
mother. The mother occupied a seat
by herself. The nurse and child were
III seat Immediately in front OF her.
The child gave such frequent exhibit
tions of temper and kept the car iilled
with such vicious yells and shrieks
that there was a general feeling Of
savage indignation among the pas
sengers. Although he time and again
spat in his nurses face, scratched
her hands until the blood came and
tore at her hair and bonnet, she bore
with him patiently. The Indignation
of the passengers was made greater
because the child's mother made no
effert to correct or quiet him, buis on
the contrary, sharply chided the
nurse whenever she manifested any
firmness. Whatever the boy yelped
for, the mothers cry was, uniformly:
"Let him have il, Mary
BY the time the train passed Tur-
ner's the feelings of the passengers
had been wrought up to the boiling
point The remark was made audibly
here and there that sit would be
worth paying for to have the young
one chucked out of the window"
The hopeful mother was not moved
by the very evident annoyance the
passengers felt, and at last fixed her
self down in her seat for a comforta-
BILE ma ,. The child had just slapped
the nurse in the face for the hundreth
time, and was preparing for fresh
attack, when wasp came from some
where in the car and few against
the window of the nurses seat. The
boy at once made dive for the wasp
as it struggled upward on the glass.
The nurse caught his hand, and said
to him coaxingly:
Harry mustn't touch! Bug win
bite Harry!"
Harry gave a. savage yell and be-
gan to kick and slap the nurse. The
mother awoke from her nap. She
hesrd her sons screams and, without
lifting her head or opening her eyes,
she cried out sharply to the nurse:
"Why will you tease that child so,
Mary? Let him have it at o Gel"
| Mary let go of Harry. She set
tied back In her seat with an air Of
resignation, but there was sparkle
l in her eye. The boy clutched at the
; wasp and finally caught it. The yell
: that followed caused Joy to the en-
tire car, for every eye was on the
boy The mother awoke again.
Mary" she cried, "let him have
litl"
Mary turned calmly in her seat,
and with wicked twinkle in her ego
!, said:
"Sure, he's got it, mum ~
=" This brought the car down. Every
J one in 1T roared. The child's mother
rose up in her seat with a jerk.
y When she learned what the matter
u was, she pulled her boy over the back
Il of the seat, and awoke some sympa
;, thy for him by laying him across hel
- knee and warming him nicely. III
ten minutes he was as quiet and meel
as lamb, and be never opened hi
head again until the train reached
