in the same ehapter-''an Jesus, when
He was baptized, went up straightway
out OF the water" II the Werd here
conveys any meaning, it is this-that
Jesus and John went down into the
water, and Jesus was immersed by
John. Again we read-"They went
down into the water, both Philip" etc.
So we Judge that any person. without
previous bias, reading the New Tesla
ment, would infer from the Scriptures
that to be baptized meant to be In
mersed in the water, on confession OF
faith in the Lord Jesus. The doctrine
Of the Baptist churches is strengthened
bv the fact that in church where the
Greek language is spoken, aud clearly
understood, immersion has always BEEN
and is still practiced.
We hold to the doctrine OF immersion,
also, from the testimony OF historians.
Every church historian, in referring 10
baptism, whether IS practiced In the
early church or during the first, second
or third centuries, comedies most clear
II and emphatically that the prevail
ing mode was bY immersion. Other

cause they were thought 10
be matter of necessity, as
for instance, when g person Is physically
unable to be immersed. In case Of
this nature, the Baptist Church holds
that it is impossible for such persons to
realize the command OF Christ. and so
the believer in the Lord is absolved from
all obligation in the matter. Christ will
accept the will for the deed. No Bap-
list minister will undertake to substi-
tute any other form Of baptism for i'm
mersion.
Until within two or three centuries,
baptism by immersion was practiced in
England. The Roman Catholic church
openly sanctioned the change from i'm
mersion to sprinkling because, forsooth,
it is more easily administered.
Again we hold that baptism ought
to be By immersion because Of its sym
bolsm. II conveys the idea Of death in
sin, resurrection in life, total detilement
and desire for publication. Rev. Trey
dwet at some length upon the symbol
ism attached to baptism by immersion,
and closed by stating what the ordi-
nance means TO the members OF the
Baptist Church.

Which was tho Bill

There is an old story about an artist
who got down to his last dollar. There
is nothing unusual In the story so far,
as all artists are aware, but he made a
unique disposal Of the greenoack. He
put q coat OF paint and sizing on q
board, laid the gill down and turned up
a corner or two, pressed it firmly down
and gave the whole a couple Of coats OF
varnish. He then placed it on exhibit
ton for q nominal sum 10 some store,
and finally disposed OF the wonderful
painting" for a good round sum.
The Idler was reminded OF this legend
by the exhibition last week In 2 Wash
ington street cigar store window. II
was q slab Of wood. on which appeared,
one above the other, apparently two 81
bills. Above them is the legend run
ming: There is only ore bill. Which
is it?p The most careful scrutiny failed

oFRED" GERHARD sKEroaED.
One of New York City's Most Remarkable
Young Men.


Whenever man through his wealth,
private conduct, or personal peculiari-
ties is differentiated from the masses, be
becomes an object OF general interest,
and to a certain extent public charac-
ter, ana so a legitimate subject for
newspaper report and comment.
There arein New York, and other
cities, many young men as rich, as
handsome, and possibly as intelligent as
| Fred Gebhard-his many friends and
many who Go not know him call him
"Fred"-but there none OF them with
the marked individually and indiffer-
ence to the opinions Of others that SC
long characterized him.
Mr.. Gebhard is az this time just thir-
ty-seven years OF age. He is about five
! feet ten incues in height, weighs 1910
pounds, promises to get heavier after
middle age, and though he looks it, he is
| not an athlete. He walks with roll
ing motion, as he bad been much at sea
in an unsteady boat. His hair is short and
/ very black and his mustache Is OF the
same color, except one patch at tue cor
| ner OF the left Up. which Is noticeably
]
good-natured. The shape OF the head
! is by no means intellectual and has in IL
a suggestion OF John L. Sullivan,
though Mr.. Gebhard is not, and even in
his most cornwall days, was notregard =
ed as a comOEtve man.
The senior Gebhgrd was a German by
| birth and accumulated fortune, esti-
mated at s., 900, 600, which he left in en-
tail to his two children, Fred and Mrs.
! Nelson, now "a interesting widow
with two daughters. The income from
the well-invested estate amounts %
about $4,000 year, equally divided
between the two children.
When Mrs. Langtry, like many other
socially notorious women, took 10 the
stage to make profit from her lapses
rather than her talents, she came TO
America, and for some years Mr.. Geb-
hard was one OF her most devoted adj
mirers. They bought adjoining ranches
| in California, and having iOndness for
sport they became interested In fast
horses, fast yachts aud other fast
| amusements.
With plenty of money and all the
tlW6 necessary u epEHu ~ ASD' P@V
hard contracted convivfal habits which
at one time threatened to develop into
the disease Of inebriety. Suddenly,
and to the great amazement OF MS club
friends, he announced his purpose 70
lead better life. He went to an insti-
tute at White Plains, New York, that
was two years ago. was cured Of the de-
sire for liquor, and from the day ne left
till the present time has never touched
intoxicating liquors.
Following this Mr.. Gerhard sold out
his stables, gave up his swarming and
festive club friends, and became a
madel OF social propriety.
But the best move he has yet made Is
ia marrying Miss Morris, the belle VI
Baltimore he has the age, experience
and wealth, so desirable in a husband
Of leisure. His many friends wish him
continued happiness 10 the nsw life, and
Tammany talks Of running him for Con-
gress next fall.

AnImportant Question.

PlrIfrS5lT1 SUfHt.
The coal miners in the Cumberland
region, which include some OF the pro-
perties Of German and Davis, have
agreed to accept reduction Of 10 cents
a ton for miniag. They will now get
40 cents "a ton for mining coal, and
screened coal 40 that The present
tariff on coal is 90 cents ton. Now
will some one wiser than we tell us
where and how the tariff protects the
coal mIuer. We know how it protects
the coal mine owner, and the railroads,
and that isn't what we are inQuiriug
about. We would like for some one to
inform MS just where the miner gets his
protection? Tbisis very important

Special Correspondence of the Globe.
NEW YORK. March 22.-One of the
most conspicuous events of the present
theatrical season in the city is Stuart
RObson's magnificent production of
Shakespeare's COMEDY of Errors"
which, Oh Saturday night. finishes an
engagement at Abbey's theater. Henry
.Irving's revivals at this house. which i'm
mediately preceded Mr.. RObSon's, were
in some instances, charming surprise
to cultivated students OF the drama. but
the magnificent and classical correct
ness of Stuart RObson'S efforts not only
surpasses many of MIR. Irving's pro-
ducllons, but proves superior 10 many
of the greatest things yet seen on
the. London. New York and Paris
stage. The New York press has been al
most unanimous i'll according high
praise to the completeness OF this pres
entation, with the single exception of

The general remarked that the audience
seemed charmed with the play, and
were particularly lavish in their APP

"You should have been in front last
night, general; they were as cold as
icicles. We had plenty of big WIGS
but great people have peculiar knack
sometimes of showing their apprecia-
ton of great things. The wittiest lines
of the "Divlne Master" received very
little attention, but in the second act,

old, appeared as a page, his funny black
face, WieaLned in smiles. grave senators
