seemingly fitted to him, however
reluctantly We would spare him
from his present position. What
about Hon. John Lind, Lieu Gov.
Ives, or go down to Faribault
county, the banner republican
county, that saved the district for
the republicans in 1890, and trot
out that old war horse, James b.

Editor ADVANCE:
Will you kindly give the following
a place in your columns. a good
many Of my neighbors have sugges-
ted that I send it to you and request
its publication: j. A.
One who does not believe in im-
mersion for baptism was holding a
protracted meeting, and one night
preached on baptism. In the. course
of his remarks, he said that some be-
lieved it necessary to go down into
the water, and come up out Of it. to
be baptized. But this he claimed to
be a fallacy, for the proposition into"
of the Scriptures should be rendered
differently as it does not meen into
at all times. Moses he said 1--WE
are told, went up into the mountain,
and the Savior was taken into a high
mountain. Now we do not. suppose
that either went into a mountain but
unto it. So with going down into
the the water, it means simply going
down close by or near to the water,
and being baptized in the ordinary
way by sprinkling or pouring" He
carried this idea out fully. and in due
season closed his discourse, when an
invitation was given for any one so
disposed to rise and express his
thoughts. Quite a number of his
brethren arose and said they were
glad they had been present on this
occasion; that they were all we'll
pleased with the sound sermon they
liIls n felt spsls
greatly Blessed. Finally 4 corpulent
gentleman Of Teutonic extraction. a
stranger to all, arose and broke the
silence that was almost painful, as
follows: .:'t
Mister Breacher, 1 ish SO glad I
wash here tonight, for has had ex-.
planned to my mint some dings dat l
never could Pelieve before. Oh, [ ish.
SO glad ssinto' does not mean into at
all, but shust close by or near to; for
I can pelieve pefore. We reat Mr..
Breacher, dat Taniel was cast into de
ten of lions, and came out alive.
Now, l neffer could pellet dat, for de
wilt peasts would shust eat him
righl off; but now | ish all clear in
my mint. He wash close by or near
to, and It'd not get into de ten at all.
Oh, l ish so glad l vos here tonight.
Again we reat dat de Hebrew child
ren wash cast into de firish furnace,
and dot always look a beeg story too,
for dey would have peen burnt up,
but it is blain to my mint now, for
day vas shust cast py or close to de
firish furnace. Oh, wash so glad |
wash here tonight And den, Mr..
PREACHER, it is said dat Jonah wash
cast into de sea, and taken into de
whalesh pelly. Now, | neffer could
pelieve dat. 1t always seems to me
to be a beeg feesh story; but it ish
all blain to me now. He wash not
into de whalesh pelly at all, but
shust stumbled onto his pack and
rode ashore. Oh, ] wash so glat I
wash here to. night.
s."SAnd now, Mr.. Breacher, if you
will shnst exblain two more passages
of Scripture, shall be oh, 50 happy
dat I wash here tonight! One Of dem
ish where it saish de wicked shall pc
cast into a lake dat burns NIT fire
and birthstone always. Oh, Mr..
Breacher, shall | pc cast into dat
lake If am wicked, or shust close by
or near to shust near enough to be
comfortable? Oh, I hope you tell
me / shall pc cast only shust py a
good ways off, and | will he 50 glat |
wash here tonight. De odder pas
sage is dat vich saish blessed are dey
who do desc commandments, dat dey
may have right to de dree Of life,
and enter in troo de gates into de
:ity, and not shust close py or near
snuft to see vat ! have lost and l
shall pc SO glat | wash here tonight.
