sense of the Meeting.

Mr.. Henry Baer moved that it be the
sense OF the meeting that Ohio county
should subscribe not more than $780,
600 to the capital stock Of the road,
and that the Board Of Commissioners
be urged to submit the matter to a
vote of the people.
Mr.. McGregor said It had been stated
that Ohio county would handicap it's
interest in the P. w. C KY. railway
by subscribing to the stock OF the new
road. He was informed, however, that
the Panhandle road does not haul any
coke into Wheeling.
Mr.. Brady and Mr.. LANCE endorsed
the motion. The former argued that
the county could secure 5000 900 for
its 800, 900 stock in the p, w. & KY.
road. which might be applied to pay
ment on the subscription TO capital
stock OF the proposed road. He did
not know of any railroad subscription
which had not been a benefit TO the
community. He did not even except
the Terminal, ever IL every cent in
vested in that road would be lost in
the event of a sale tomorrow.

adopted and the meeting adjourned

Baptism Is a sacrzmentk.of the
Christians and was instituted by the
authority of Christ as recorded in the
Gospels Its essential feature Is the
outward rite OF washing with water
Before the time OF Christ religious
meanings were attached to washings
with water both by heathens and Jews
and proselytes were required to be
baptized before admission into the
Jewish church Washing with water
was requisite for the removal Of cere-
monial uncleanness. and John the Bap-
tist baptized to indicate the necessity
Of the publication OF the soul from sin.
Christian denominations have indulg-
ed in prolonged controversies as to
whether children and infants should be
baptized the same as adults. The two
modes OF baptism are immersion or
dipping and aspersion or sprinkling
and these forms have caused much
controversy. The advocates of sprink
ling acknowledge the validity OF Dip
ping. but those who favor dipping do
not admit that sprinkling can be true
baptism Immersion could be adapted
to all countries by making proper ar
rangements for tanks and water at
moderate temperature. but 1t seems
unreasonable to immerse a person in
icy cold water. or to immerse any per-
son who might be physically injured
by the action When Christ anu his
disciples practiced this form OF baptir-
ing 1t was in countries where the cl'-
mate was mild.-Exchange.
