initial


pitai.
John Seymour was brought to St. AIMS
hospital Saturday by friends from Mill
Creek. He is very low and not expected
to live.
Seymour is an odd character, a man
well along in years, who lived all alone in
n solitary cabin in the deserted placer Dig
giugs on Mill creek. He has from year to
year cultivated vegetables for his own
use, on which he subsisted during the
year. He marketed but a small per cent.
of his product.
Last fall he emerged from his solitude
and took deep interest in the campaign.
When it was over he retired again to
home where he was taken sick. His con-
dition was discovered by neighbors who
found him in his bunk and his stock of
supplies exhausted. They at once gave
him assistance and took care of him until
a few weeks ago when the case was re-
ported to Chairman Walker, of the
county commissioners. An order was
issued for his admttance to the hospital
and as soon as the weather permitted he
was brought to this city. Seymour is I'M
able to speak and is paralyzed in his legs.
He was better last evening but it is doubt
full if he RECEIVERS.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
Has the Baptist Church standard dis
clplne Ike the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South; or. Is each church OF that
denomination governed by It's own rules?
Il.
There Is no such body as the Baptist
Church" In the sense in which our cor
respondent uses the phrase. He doubtless
means 1.-The Baptist denomination. or
BAPTIST churches" The Baptists have
no authorized standards Of doctrine. no.
thing outside OF the New Testament.
which takes the place held by the West
minister Confession among Presbyterians.
the Thirty-nine Articles among Episco-
pallans, the Discipline among the Metho-
dls;s. etc. Such confessions as they have
had, as, fcr example. the New Hamp-
shire Confession or the Philadelphia Con-
fesslon, have no sort OF binding authority
ON the churches. Each Baptist church
adopts for Itself i.s own creed and cove
nant. and administers It's own affairs.
our correspondent can readily understand
the philosophy OF this when ne remem.
hers that the sole ecclesiastical body
among Baptists which has any sort OF
authority is the local church. There Is
not only nothing above the local church
10 legIslate for IL. there IS nothing beside

The hairs forming the names Of some

the ridiculous belief Of not few peopl,
that the witches ride such horses at
