plain in the Bible, as evinCed by Acts 16,
18th ", and the SD v. of the same chapter,
where we read that the jailer and all his
straightway were baptized. Again in Cor
inthians /, 10th v. we read that the house
hold of Stephanas was baptized. Now, does
it not require great stretch of imagination
to suppose that there were no children in
any of those families, especially when we
know that infant baptism has always been
the custom or the church from Apostolic
times.
Remember, secular history overlaps sa-
cred record, secular writer's tell us ABOUT the
Church OF Christ and it's teachings anu Gus
toms. These secular historians, who wrote
before the death OF st. John, explicitly tell
us that infant baptism was the custom OF the
Christian Church Now if this custom OF
baptizing infants had been an innovation,
and an error, would not st. John have de
nounced it as wrong: In his book of Revela-
lions he did not spare the faults that had
crept into the church. How sternly did he
reprove the sins that were in the seven
churches OF Laodicea, ETC., but he finds
no fault with their customs of baptizing
children
Again. If infant baptism were wrong and
not practiced by the Apostles, when did the
| innovation creep into the church: Is it not
| strange that no writer's make any mention
of it being an innovation: Other matters Of
far less Importance kept the church in hot
water for ages; take, for instance, the time
for observing Easter. The Apostles them
selves baptized infants and sanctioned it in
the church.
The trouble with those who oppose infant
baptism is that they do not know clearly
| what baptism is. They think it is something
| they do for God, whereas. it is really some
| thing that God does for them. They magni-
| fly that part they take in the matter. They
| must repent. They must believe. They
| must be baptized. But the orthodox church
has always magnifed Gods part in this com
pact. It is plain that God can give US these
great blessings, even though we may only be
infants. Our part in baptism is the minor
part, but Gods part is to make us members
| of His Son, His own dear children. and APP
point US mansion of bliss, and all this He
can do. even though we may be infants and
!, unconscious of the inestimable blessings He
confers upon u.s.
| / ask your readers to decide whether the
Bible is not strongly on the side OF the
church. which from Apostolic times has al
| ways, as Christ commanded, Suffered the
| little children to come unto Him. and has
| forbidden them not H. BEER.

TO THE ED1ToR:-Will you please
allow me space for criticism on the
doctrinal warfare now being waged
between two ministers in your paper.
We read with interest the first les
son on church unity and hoped the
discussion would break down the first
barrier of sectarianism, which has
long been hindrance to mans USE
fulness III Christian work
But we are to be disappointed, as
when simmering the articles we find
these the texts: 1--WE are right" "Be-
lieve as we do, join us, we have the
universal church" Now the contest
seems to center on doctrinal points.
In Hebrews vi chapter, l and 2 ",
which was quoted by one of the broth
ers,St. Paul advises the leaving of the
doctrines of baptism, laying on of
hands, etc, and to busy ourselves in
the working out of Christian char
acter.
As far as we can discover from an
investigation of the texts given by the
brothers the rules given apply to the
Jewish church and not to us Gentiles.
Chapter x of Acts, A, 4748 vs.,
outline Gods plan for. and to the
Gentiles. The Holy Ghost was first
freely given, then followed the bap-
tism and entrance into the church.
The writer is not a member of the
church of either brother but feels that
Christ's cause is being hindered by
the bitterness of spirit and mud sling
ing being INDUCED in by two shep-
herds, who, like the servants of Abra-
ham and Lot, are quarreling over
whose posture it is while the sheep
are left to Craze where they can.
Now, brothers, how can yous justify
such language ass TOO ignorant to
know it, Throwing dust in the read
ers' eyes," knocking him higher than
q kite" ETC.
Please think calmly. ask Gods and
each others forgiveness and spare the
public. SUBSCRIBER.

increasing knowledge to Mr.. Thorn
quest, and with knowledge will come
more difidence, and less confidence
in his own infallibility. l rely far
more upon the consentient opinion
of the church of all ages than upon
my own individual understanding of
a point of theology. What the Uni
versal Church has always held and
taught, is with me of far more i'm
portance than the vagaries of any in
dividual opinion; and the church has
always taught "Infant Baptism" and
99100ths of protesting Christians do
so at the present day. That is an i'm
portant fact in my way of thinking,
but of course has no weight with Mr.
Thornquest.
In my last mission there was a
young Baptist minister, who, on Sun
day morning took out a small roll OF
bills, and shaking them over his head
offered to bet that amount that no text COM
handing infant baptism could be found in
the Bible. Now, if 1 were betting charac-
ter. then also could bet that no text could
be found in the Bible forbidding the baptism
of infants
But let us see if it would have been impos.

us see if there is no command to baptize in
fants: In st. Matthew %, 10th " we read

! to baptize all nations, he was speaking t.
men who had always been accustomed to re-
gard children as part of the nation; HI
was talking to men who were accustomed tt
see children, at eight days old, admitted t.
church by the rite of circumcision.
1t is plain that these Apostles would under
stand Christ to mean that they were to con
tinue to admit little ones into His fold, a.
they had always been accustomed to do ii
their national church. Had there been any
thing in Christ's past teaching or conduct t.

would His Apostles suppose for a moment
that those who were in tact and reality al.

/; It Christ had intended children to be left
out of His Kingdom on earth, it would have

to not baptize infants. say Christ would
have been obliged to explain Himself to the
i Apostles in some manner. Otherwise, they
would, as matter of course, have followed

Redwood Falls to Marshall next
spring. The editor of that paper
seems to be under the impression that
this plan involved the taking up of
the track from Tracy to Marshall but
we are certain that he is mis- aiken.
Certain conditions as land grant
road and the owning of property on
that line by Northwestern men make
that very unlikely. The advantage of
this extension from Redwood Falls
here consists in a better grade for
heavy traffic, the shortening of the
road from Sleepy Eye to Marshall
three or four miles, and the securing
of the trade of rich section that now
goes to the St. Louis.
But The GAZETTE, although pos
sessed of keen scent for news has
missed one rather important feature
of Northwestern enterprise, which we,
by an accident, are now in q condition
to supply. In conversation, a few
days ago, with prominent man, who
has intimate relations with North
western officials it was said to us that
the real end sought was and the chief
advantage to the company lies, in a
plan which the company have for
some time entertained, of building a
road from Ashland, Wis, to their
southwestern Minnesota and Dakota
lines. A line is already built and
proposed to Rush City. Between that
point and Redwood Falls and Mar
shall there is one of the best sections
of the State, that the Northwestern
does not now reach, and which their
present rival, the Minneapolis & St.
Louis does. There is wide strip of
country through there that the Ash
lad line would secure the trade from,
and this is the Northwestern's future
plan.
The connection with the line at
Redwood Falls, after the extension to
Marshall, would be the nearest and
best they could make to reach South
Dakota. Look on the map and see
the plain Feasibility Of this line? We
expect to see this plan carried out at
an early day, and whatever advantage
Marshall gets out Of it depends on
the enterprise OF it's citizens, capital
which it has heretofore been extrome-
" safe to bank on.

tionately dedicated to Julius Schmahl

The following afternoon Alice rode
down the mesa trail and her heart
throbbed with pleasure when she noted
that Brown sat in his accustomed
place, his sketch book on his knee.
She approached him with smiling
face and extended her hand when he
rose to greet her.
"Worshiping at the shrine Of art, as

dismount. And what study have you
