A Clear Vision.

Sir--I did not have the pleasure oI
reading your paper of last Sunday,
out friend in Southwest Virginia
sends me a clipping therefrom in
which occurs the following editorial
utterance
cdr. Whitsitt, of the Baptist
church, has been practically removed
from the Office of President of the
Theological Seminary of that
denomination in Louisville, be-
cause rs wo understand it, he de-
clarcs as an historical fact that i'm
mcrsion was not practiced in the
Baptist church before about 164O.
AS regards the merits of this contro-
versy, of course we know nothing,
never having examined the subject.
But we are rather proud to know
that the Virginia Baptists stood by
DR.. Whitsitt in his maintenance of
an historical truth as he had discov-
cred it without at all abating their
faith in the methods and doctrines
of baptism as they believe it to be
taught in tho Scriptures, whether
tho people before 1910 so understood
it or not"
ask that you permit two or three
comments. First, wish to praise
heartily that clear vision that enables
you to see that true Baptists do not
base their views of tho Christian or
dinanccs upon what was practiccd in
the seventeenth century anywhere on
earth, but entirely upon what they
believe "to be taught in the Scrip
lures" Let mo in addition, call
your attention to the fact that there
does not now exist, nor has there ever
existed, any general organization
known as "thc Baptist church,"
which has acted or could act, which
has spoken or could speak, for peo-
pie holding Baptist principles. But
especially let me say that DR. Whit
slit has never declared ESQ far as l
know and believc) "that immersion
was not practiced in the Baptist
church," ii. e. among Baptists) "bo-
fore about 1910" What he has said
is that Baptists in England did not
practice immersion before 1910, leav-
ing untouched the question what
Baptists may have been practicnig
elsewhere in the world.-John Pol

An effort, begun in the West, to
have Admiral Dewey return by way
of San Francisco, is being supple
mented in Washington. The repre-
sentative of one of the largest trans
continental railways called at the
navy department and stated that if
Admiral Dewey returned by way of
San Francisco this railroad proposed
to place at his service an entire train,
the finest that ever crossed the con-
tinent, and make it subject to his
wishes as to place and time of stops
on the way East. 1t was urged also
that this would give practically the
whole country an opportunity to
join in the reception to the hero of
Manila, instead Of restricting it to
the stretch between New York and
Washington.

SAFETY IN WEAKNESS.

An iron monarch rode the sea,
A nations hope and pride;
Through storm and pillows dashing free.
1t feared no wind or tide:
Its banner waved in every land,
With honor hailed abroad;
Whenever 1t hurled its fiery brand,
The very deep was awed-
The oceans rage was felt at last;
Its pillows set at naught.
1t gathers up cyclones blast,
And all its terrors brought;
Tossed. like ball from hand to hand.
A moment poised on high.
Then dashed upon the rocky strand,
And there the fragme cts lie;
A trim Physalia netting near.
With iridescent SAIL
Through ali the dark, devoid of fear.
Had sported with the gale.
The storm that wrecked the navy's pride,
1t all outrode with glee.
And still is dancing on the tide
To beautify the sea.
Thus all who boast their native strength
VIII fail on weakest strain.
And sadly find when tried at length.
That all their hopes are vain.
The soul that seeks Jehovah's care.
Secure from every wrong,
a mighty arm is then made bare.
In weakness they are strong.

Hendricks sprang up, and going to the

thumped with his knuck1es a marble
statue of Venus de Milo in d corner, and
then stood still in the center of the
room and stared at the articles of orna-
ment on the mantel-piece. He walked
slowly backward to the doctor and laid
hand on his shoulder, and pointed to
a large covered japanese vase, shaped
like an ancient urn.

lected all the bric-a-brac in this room

I'm his effort to cut and wrench this
hand from the joint at the wrist, the
murderer allowed his sharp nails to
sink into the flesh. The marks did not
show at the time, but the process of
decomposition has brought them out
distinctly. Doctor, Che fellow who did

You do not think that the body could
have been reduced to ashes in these
apartments" said Lampkin. tentatively
Hendricks shook his head, and point
ed to the open fireplace where lay the
ashes OF a wood fire.

Lampkin's face betrayed the birth of
an important idea.
Surely" he said, "the body could
not easily have been removed for the
purpose of cremation elsewhere with
out being dismembered. Perhaps if
you made a careful examination you
might find traces of its having been
cut up"
