bl Juuk6 NUdu II" oisaA-
The familiar face of Brother L. B.
Ely will not greet us at this meeting
of the General Association. Since last
we met hia sweet spirit left his body,
which was a temple for the Holy
Spirit, and returned to God who gave
it. The separation we call death, but
"To fall asleep is not to die;
To rest with God is sweeter life."
His long repeated meetings with
us, his zeal for the Masters cause,
his gentle Christian spirit, and
his force of character have 80 identi-
fed him with our annual gatherings
as to make his absence conspicuous.
We mourn his death, but rejoice in
his "sweeter life," his .'rest with
God" and in his life work which still
lives with us. He was the greatest
leader among the Baptist Iaymen of
Missouri. He was our Baptist Moses.
His work for William Jewell College
Is of itself a monument that will long
keep green his memory among our
people. His energy and persistence
in the Masters work, his foresight.
his sound judgment, his caution and
prudence, and his deliberation and
level headedness are elements of his
successful business life, which he
brought into the Lords work. His
gsntleness and child-like simplicity
brought him in close touch with the
lowliest and with the little children.
How many little children remember
Brother Ely. How many of them have
been brought to the Savior by the lit
tie picture cards and Scripture texts
which he always carried with him for
them. Ellis inviting face caught the
little child at once, and indicated to
the mature mind his strong force OF
character, and at the same time his
gentle spirit. He possessed a rare
combination of elements Of character
which would have made him great
man In public life. He did not seek
to excel; he excelled, because in his
work he was guided by the, Holy
Spirit. Great as was his other work,
he was no where greater than in his
conception of Gods Word the Holy
Bible, and the methods in which il
should be read and studied. His last
of Bible readings, for SO long publish
\ ed in the Central Baptist, showed hi
interest. He honestly, earnestly and
1 faithfully believed, first, that the Bi'
BILE is Gods Word; second, that itl
4 promises are for it's children, ani
third, that he indeed was q child O
God. He repeatedly, on his knees
read and studied the word rs the very
language of God to him, and then II
] prayer he poured out his soul to Cox
I and received a blessing. His exam
pie in Bible reading and Bible stud.
has been an inspiration to very man,
persons, and has aroused greater In
terest In more profitable reading o
the Word. Those who have hear
| him talk along this line have ha'
opened to them new ideas of the valu
!, OF the Bible, new motives for its study
and new and greater blessing

BAPTISM AND THE LORDS SUPPER.
By Rev.J. NJ F. Martin, pastor at Maryville, Mo.
The Baptists, in holding strictly to
the New Testament's teaching re-
specting these ordinances, have been
generally misunderstood by those
practicing differently. We believe
that these ordinances symbolize the
fundamental doctrines of the gospel
and should be preserved as delivered
to the saints.
Baptism is form, pattern or mould
of doctrine (see Romans 6:17, 1 Peter
3:21) setting forth death, burial and
resurrection, but preeminently, res
direction and newness of life. We
are baptized unto with respect to-
Christ, that is, setting forth bis work
for and in us, and our allegiance to
him. When the form or mode of the
action is lost or changed, the doctrine
or teaching of baptism is lost and
something else substituted. Those
who pour or sprinkle for baptism, do
so in honor of the spirit and his work.
We object to this change of form in
baptism, because it necessitates a
change of doctrine. A pattern is a
form. When, then, we contend for
the form of baptism, we contend for
the thing itself. With us it is baptism
or no baptism. And as this "form OF
doctrine" is to be obeyed "from the
heart" and only those who, with the
heart believe unto righteousness, car
so do, we practice "believers' bap-
tism" only.
Paul said: GAS oft as ye eat thit
bread and drink this cup, ye do show
the Lords death till he GOMEZ Cor
11:26. Paul gave no other object O
this second ordinance, nor do we fint
any other elsewhere in Gods word
Christ is only to be seen. When th'
view is taken from him, the ordi
nance is gone, and the communi
can't eats and drinks condemnation
| to himself, not discerning the Lord
body. 80 called "open" and "ciose'
communion is based on a false theor.
OF the ordinance-that we commun
one with another. This is prostitu
ton of the ordinance.
