the governor of Kansas is a represen-
tive, says the Kansas City Star, belong

and seven others who rejected the doc
trines of paedo-baptism. The name is
a nickname, derived from the German
Tunker-to dip; members of the sect
styling themselves brethren. Persecu-
ton drove the founders to Holland,
and between 1919 and 1929 they all
| emigrated thence to America. They
are found in Pennsylvania, Maryland'
Virginia, Ohio and Indiana, and it is
apparent that some have found their
way further West, but their numbers
all told are not great. Their church

other Baptists, except that every
brother is allowed to exhort. Men
found apt to teach are ordained minis
tiers, and the eldest teachers bishops.
