To the Editor of the Dispatch:

| understand that 1t is not proper TO
say THE Baptist Church." though 1t Is
proper to use the definite article the
when applied to other denominations Is
this so, and why? w.
II is entirely proper to say The Bap-
list Church" If the reference is to local
body Of believers as, for example. 1.-The
Baptist Church in stanton; or If
house Of worship is meant, as in the
sentence They have just completed a
new Baptist church at Waynesboro.
But one cannot speak properly of the
BAPTIST denomination as THE Baptist
Church" This improperly grows out
Of the Baptist church polty, in which the
independence Of the local church is funda-
mental. and no other ecclesiastical or
ganization is provided for. Baptists Also
as we understand, maintain that there is
no such use of the word Church in the
New Testament. Other denominations
having a different church government
have a different opinion and use the
word as descriptive of their denomina-
tional body The difference is not due
to the presence or absence of the definite
article but 10 the different significance
attached 70 the word church"

Mill-Owners and Fishing Rights.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch.
Can the owners OF water grist-mills In
the counties OF James City and YORK pre-
vent by law the citizens from catching
fish out OF said ponds with either hook
and line or small gil-nets. in cases where
the owners do not own either the bottom
OF the pond or the high land adjoining?
READER.
While II is not impossible that one per-
son may own water grist-mill and
different person own the land covered by
the pond that supplies the same mill
with water. yet that condition of things
is improbable. in view of the provisions
OF section 1854 OF the Code Of Virginia,
which vests in the original mill-owner
fee-simple ownership Of the land over
flowed by the pond. Therefore. II the
mill-owner has not parted with his owner
ship he may control the fishing in the
pond: but, If there be a case where the
halloween has sold or otherwise dis
posed of such right. he cannot control the
