least two quorums OF Seventy before
his death, for this very purpose. 30
the assertion that there vas neither
time nor persons enough to baptizs the
8, 900 by immersion is seen to have no
warrant in scripture; while IL any
other mode had bern foil wed the
command Of the Lord would not have
been complied With c5urse the
Apostles did not follow. As n matter
OF fact, baptism by immersion, prop
erly performed, requires but little more
fort or time ON the part OF the per-
son performing the ordinance than
does sprinkllne; but 1t is the Lora's
way, while the other is not.
Another statement OF Mr.. La y
may be named here, that "electricity
is God" or as he also puts 1t, that
electricity ia undoub tedIy Go i's very

with reference 10 Christ. Like thu
gentieman's other assertions, It Ia
denied on most excellent authority.
Je.us, when His aisciples supposed a
spirit stood before them, told them His
body was OF "hesh and bones" The
words OF the Master are better authori.

THE TURKISH SULTAN.

A brief bicgrapnlea sketch Of the
Turkish su!tan, Abdul Hamid III,
may MT be without interest at this
time. The peace negotiations betweeu
Turkey anu Greece are progressing
rather slowly, and although the gem
eral impression Is that the Sublime
Porte will finally yield to tie pressure
Of Europe, 1t Ia hardly possible as yet
to forecast what The outcome will be.
Tho sultan, lrom the nrst moment of
his coming Into prominencs, appears
as one OF the figures In o tragic drama,
and possibly his role 10 not yet
finished.
Abdul Hamid was born September
90, 1912, the second son OF Abdul
Medjiu. He was reared in seciusion
and allowed no part In public affairs.
II lie stated that his early life wa,
spent In dissipation. until suddenly ne
Experienced q change OF heart, re.
formed and became devout follower
OF the Arabian prophet. This WAS
long before be hal any prospect Of be.
coming the ruler Of the Turks.
ABDUL Azz, his uncle, was deposed
because of his ruinous financial policy,
and his brother, Murad, ascended the
throne, Aug. 81, 1876 This weak
sultan found the affairs o. the empire
in SO desperate u condition that he
cluld not endure the strain but be-
CINE insane after q three months
reign. Abdul Hamid then found
himself PLACID on the tottering throne,
with troubles at home ami aorosi, the
very Turkish name being an abomi-
nation In Europe on account OF the
recent atrocities in Bulgaria. 1t Is
supposed that II Abiul Hamid had
teaiizsi to the full extent
tho situation In which he
suddenly found himself, he,
toe, would have gone In.
zane, but it is more probable that
the conversion referred to aud the
cons, quent arm reliance In the de.
crees OF Providence, fortified him
against the struggle with difficulties
and saved him from the fate OF his
brother.
Probably In order to avert the gath.
ering clouuhurst around his capital
. one OF the flr.t acts OF Abdul Hamid
,, was to proclaim "equal rights" for al
: his subjects, Christians and Moham'
nedans, but no confidence was placed
in the sincerely OF this decree, an.
the war with Russia came early In
1877 as q result OF which the sultan
agreed TO terms OF peace by which lis
dominions were much reduced.
, Abaul Hamid Is the thirty-fourth IL
a mall descent of the house OF the o h.
man, the founder OF the empire. ant
the twenty eighth sultan since ~
conquest OF Constantinople.
He is said to trust none OF hi

German at the Armory.

Prof. Northcott's dancing class
gave very pleasant German in
the armory last night. Quite a
large crowd was in attendance
and all present seemed to enjoy
themselves to the utmost. The
fancy dances by Misses Sallie Bell
and Sue Marean were executed in
the highest style Of tLe art.
Their graceful movements on the
smooth foor were heartily ap-
plauded.
The armory was most hand
somely decorated with evergreens
and palms, giving it a very fine ap-
pearance.
The costumes worn by the gay
dancers were in taste with the ad-
vanced state of our society. AS
they swept gracefully over the
floor to the bewitching strains of
Prof. Johanet's orchestra, the on
lockers were bewildered by the
beauty and brilliarcy of the oc-
casion.

were Miss Daisy Dekle, Of Thom-
