HOW DOES THIS STRIKE YOU,
BROTHER2

There never was a time in the history
of the reform movement when it was
more important for Alliancemen and
reformers to be up and doing than no1U,
RIGHT NOW. And there was never a
time when Alliance papers were more
respected and read than NOW. There
has never been a time when more good
could be done by our brethren and
friends in gaining friends for the cause
than TO DAY. And in North Carolina
the very best of all ways to do this work
is to get their friends and neighbors to
subscribe for and read The PROGRESS
sIvE FARMER, Realizing all this, and
the good we can do, and determined to
do our whole duty so far as we can, we
have decided to make the most liberal
proposition we have ever made to our
subscribers. The proposition is this
We will extend the time of any sub
scribers now on our mailing list three
months for every new one year sub
scriber he may send us, between now
and August Is, 1894, at 81 each, in ad

BAPTISM DISCUSSED.
Rev. Tarbill Devotes Two Sermons to
This Subiect.


Rev. +. L. Tarbill of the NJ. +
church preached two interesting ser
mons on baptism yesterday. In the
morning he discussed infant baptism
A brief outline of his address is:
No direct command in scripture for
infant baptism but is taught in the
scripture by inference just as the
observance of the first instead Of the
seventh day as Sabbath and permits
sion to partake Of the Lords supper
are taught.
The church has a historical oneness.
Children received the rite Of initia-
ton into the church in Jewish times
and should receive it in Christian
times. Jesus himself said Of child
rem "of such is the kingdom OF
heaven" hence they must be fit for
baptism.
Household baptisms as recorded in
scripture doubtless included children.
By virtue Of the benefits Of the
atonement children are born in a
saved condition, hence II saved they
ought to be baptised just the same as
the adults who are saved and hence
ought to be haptised.
Among the purposes of infant bap-
tism are dedication Of children to
God, promises on the part Of the pa
rents, etc.
Children may be baptised by any
mode and baptism need not be re-
peated. If children do not always
live according to their baptism,
neither do adults. Faith is not a
prerequisite to baptism but to saliva
ton Of which baptism is an emblem.
As infants have salvation let them
also have baptism. 1t is no more
interfering with their choice than is
sending them to school or teaching
them to pray.
In the evening the mode of baptism
received attention and the Methodist
view was set forth. The speaker held
that no mode Of baptism is taught in
scriptures. Johns baptism was
.'with water" not in water.
The fact that Jesus came up out Of
the water does not prove that he had
been under the water. The word
translated ''into" does not always
mean entrance, nor the one translated
tout Of" always mean exit. We are
told that as Christ literally went into
the grave and arose again so we
should 60 under the water and come
up again. Now if we are to be
literal in one respect why not be
literal in all respects? Christ was in
the grave three days, hence we should
stay under the water three days.
Besides this Interpretation makes
baptism represent the death Of Christ,
the especial function Of the Lords
Supper. There is no specific mode
he concluded, taught in the scriptures
Be baptized by pouring, sprinkling
or immersion-but be baptized.

Mr.. Nelson today informed the RE

AT the Populist primaries according
to the returns Of the officers only 800
votes were cast in the entire county.
Last year twice as many votes were
cast and in the palmy days of the
party about 1900 took enough stock
in the party Of sham reform to 60 to
the polls. There are good many
indications that the people are grow
ing aweary Of Populism.

Harrington Times: The Populist
nomination for county attorney stands
between Cranston who filled that
office two years ago and Crawford who
has been running either on the Re-
publican or the Populist ticket for the
office ever since we can remember.
Neither Of them can come within five
hundred votes of beating Sam Smith,
the Republican nominee, when the
general election comes off.
Harrington Times: Sam Smiths
popularity in this part of the county
has not fallen off bit since his NOM
nation for county attorney on the
Republican ticket In fact he is get
ting more hearty support from all
sides than even his most sanguine
friends had ever counted upon. Sam
attends strictly to business, hence
there isn't a man in the county who
can begin to beat him at the Noyem-
Der election.

-Geary county is going into irri-
CATION seriously. The pumps for the
first irrigation plant in central Kan
sas were started yesterday by H.
Morris and W. Hartacker of Lyons
creeks, four miles south of Junction
City. Sixty acres will be irrigated.
Six acres of celery are being planted
now and twenty-five acres Of small
fruit will be set out later. The re-
mainder will be used for vegetables.
This is great departure in central
Kansas agriculture and will be follow
ed by other plants. The irrigating
machinery for $50 acres near juno
ton City has already been ordered for
next spring.
