doctrine. government and discipline nothing il
admitted but the New Testament Our agree
nents with other evangelical denominations are
vastly greater than our disagreements We be-
lieve In the divine inspiration of the Scriptures
in the tripersonality of God; the all sufficiency
of the Bible as the only rule and guide; the per-
feet excellency of Christ as the Son of God, and
Lis perfect humanity: tie person., Gnu perfect
work of the Holy Spirit: the alienation of the
race from God the necessity of faith and re-
pentance; the perpetuity of baptism and the
Lords supper as ordinances; the first day of the
week as the Lords day; the Church of Christ
divlnely instituted; the necessity of uprightness
and purity in the lives of Christian believers;
the fulness and freeness of salvation; and in the
final punishment of the uugodly by everlasting
death and separation from God. AS to the
points where We disagree, they may be reduced
to four. Il. In our creed. It is often said
of every denomination Our creed is
the Bible" but such is not the case
The Bible is the source of belief, and in
the battle of the books all others must
go down before it. The Bible is Gods word to
man. The creed is mans answer to God. Ours
is simply that of Peter, Jesus of Nazareth is
the Christ, the Son of the living God With us
the divinity of Christ is more than mere doc
trine. We give it special prominence If men
are right about Christ He will bring about every
thing right e. In our confession of faith be-
fore baptism, we have narration of expert
ence, probation and no dogmas. Belief III
Christ and the desire to serve Him are all we de-
mand. 49, In baptism we agree with INNER
sionists Christ walked forty miles across the
country to be baptized in the Jordan. Paul
calls his baptism burial We repudiate bap-
tismal regeneration, but on the other hand we
regard baptism as more than mere ceremony.
Christ issues the invitation and baptism is the
believers answer a.. In the Lords supper
We are not chose communicates. We have no au-
thority to sit in Judgment upon our fellowmen,
but neither open communicates, for we
think those who have not submitted to baptism
as Christ directed, are not of our number. We
observe the Lords supper on the first day of
each week, as the early Church did, not as a
sacrament. but as holy. sacred feast of love in
commemoration of our Savior, III which cere-
mony it is privilege to unite.

A Scathing Arraignmenc of Liquor Sellers and
Their Work by the Head of the TX. L.
General Master Workman Powderly has no
love for the liquor sellers. They are one of the
classes prescribed by the constitution of the
Knights of Labor. In his last address made to
the general convention of Knights of Labor
Mr.. Powderly said:

into labor society does so with the object that
he may entice its members into his saloon after

death No workman ever drank glass of rum
who did not rob his family of the price of it, and
in so doing committed double crime murder

the Maker hath endowed him. He steals from
his family the means of sustenance he has
earned for them Turn to the annals of every
dead labor society, and You will see whole pages

mony of the meeting.
