He IS Worthy OF EVERY CoLORED
MANS VorE IN SPRINGFIELD.

Hon. r. D. Lawrence the pres
ent Mayor who the colored voters
stood so close to and cast their
votes solid for in the last spring
election, has recognized them in q
manner which entities him to the
support of every eolored voter in
Springfield, regardless of their for
mer affiliations r. ID. Lawrence
has shown his fairness and politi-
cal sagacity In recognizing the col
ored citizens and we commend him
for your undivided support in the
future to whatever honor he
aspires.
Secretary of State I. N. Pearson,
Mayor Washburne of Chicago and
R. D. Lawrence are exceptionally
| officials in this regard, and we ask
our readers in this state to remem'
ber these three distinguished gen
tlemen, who believe in fair play
toward all political factions. While
we have never received any per
sonal favors from these gentlemen
we are conscious of their manli
ness and loyalty to the old adage
"to the victor belongs the spoils,
and they recognize that the Afro
Americans are entitled to at least
small portion of that consideration
and have given it to them. On
, sin we will never have to aLswe
for and that is We never advocate
man unless he is disposed to be fai
with all elements ofthe party, Th
many readers who have watche
our columns, can at this period c
. the campaign, profit materially an
benefcially if they will CAREFUL
= peruse our columns in the future.

mersion as baptism mentioned in the
sacred scriptures. l refer you to Acts
1st Chapter 5th verse; "For John in
deed baptized with water. but We shall
be baptized with the Holy Ghost not
many days hence " You see from this
that not only John himself said that he
Christ also declared the same thing.
But this is not the point to which /
wish now to direct your attention; that
point is settled. What | want you to
notice now is the prophetic declaration
in this text. Ye shall be baptized
with the Holy Ghost not many days
hence. Now I refer you to the End
Chapter of the Acts and 1st verse and
you will see the fulfilment of this pre-
diction. When the day of Pentacost
was fully come they were all with one
accord in one place and then and there
they received this baptism of the Holy
Spirit. Now Brother Hillman, tell me
how this baptism was performed?
Just read the 18th verse and you will
!see. "And it shall come to pass in the
last days, saith God that I will pour
out of My Spirit, etc." Read also 33d
verse Therefore being by the right
hand of God exalted and having re-
ceived of the Father the promise of the
Holy Ghost, He hath shed forth this
which We nov see and hear.
Here then you see that the influence
of the Spirit is call a baptism and they
are distinctly said to be poured out
and to be shed forth. And from this it
follows as a matter of course that bap-
tism is pouring and shedding forth or
sprinkling I do not see how it is
possible for anything to be clearer or
more convincing than this. L am con-
fident that this wholly pulverizes
your prepondence of evidence as you
stated in your last argument and we
undoubtedly require you to produce
better evidence than the passages YOU
quoted in your behalf. You utterly
! failed to answer this question in regard
| to the intellectual world accepting
| this mode we practice, in preference
| to your immersion. This word you
cannot find in the English Bible. Six
eighths of the christian world is
againt you and as I stated before it is
absurd for you to say that immersion
| is the primitive and bible command
ment of baptism When there are 81
many eminent theologians and classi
cal men defending the principles
| which I hold. Now Bro. Hillma1
come to the question at issue and pro
duce your biblical proof; you have 81
much in store.
I did not correct your historical
mistake sarcastically as you stated, bu
it was from pure motives. We ar
aware Typographical errors will occu
and we will take for granted your
was one. The same may be said O
mine you criticised in regard to tn
numerical strength of the A M. E
Church is 450,00 in the country AM
this is the minimum. We are awar
that Illinois has only about 1890
A fro Americans in the state.
Come Brother Hillman let's hea
from you again.

We are Satisfied.

WE congratulate the Afro-Amerl-
cans of this state upon the splendld
showing they made at the State
Convention recently held in tins
citv. There were forty-two proml-
nent gentlemen, representing ~
sections Of the state, under the
bases Of one delegate to every
three hundred voters. Just thirty
FIVE more delegates than the race
has ever had in the state conveh-
tions Of this state, and we arc no"
satisfied that these delegates can
% hack to their respective homes
and enlighten their constituents
upon the measures and the men
who represent the measures iogl'
callv and without the aid OF the
designing politician. who is work
