For sometime we have been hearing
a good deal about baptism, that emer-
sion was the only true baptism, until
we began to think that form was the
most important thing; but the Metho-
dists held an outdoor meeting in our
grove. and we were told that this form
was not necessary. That this form was
q rule of the Mosaic law; that the re-
ligion OF Christ was of the heart, that
true baptism was the application of
water by proper person to one who
had truly repsnted of his sins, aud be-
lieving in saving sense that Christ is
the son OF God. We thought how
grand, how good and liberal. Take as
much or as little water In your baptism
as you wish. Not q cuff, collar, lace or
dress need be soIled, few drops will
answer, or you may have more. God
takes no note Of the quantity of water,
but of the love and repentance In the
heart Of the candidate.
William Ryan came to Aumsville
about ten days ago, and established
himself as a shoemaker. He came on
horseback. The saddle was good one
aud he traded 1t to the Gilberts for
cart. On Thursday night he left Aums-
vile, with his cart, taking with him .
borrowed gun and three pair Of boots,
from Dan Smith, and all the unpaid
bills that he could contract in the short
time that he was here. The town has
lost about fifty dollars and a shoemaker.
10 anyone wishing his services we can
recommend him, but look out for your
property.
