Questions as to Infant Salvation.

To the Editor of The Sun-Sir: Will
you please quote the article in the
Westminster Confession of Faith il,
which 1t is stated that non-elect infants
dying in infancy are lost?
Does it mean that even baptism does
not save them?
According to the old creed, was bapt-
ism considered necessary for salvation
in the case of infants dying in infancy:
Is baptism, according to the new
creed, considered necessary for saliva
don, or do Presbyterians now hold that
all infants, baptized and unbaptizad
dying in infancy, are among the elect
and are therefore certainly saved?

A Religious Invasion.

faith, wonders il she may not find
some sort Of a guide in the Chris

significantly prevalent among Chris

ceive many letters from earnest and
oftentimes very intelligent correspon-
dents. For example, we print today
such a letter from q man OF intellectu-
al training, a lawyer. and an obvious

a reason for the faith that is in him
something which many of the Chris

in any ineligible manner.
1t has become undeniable that the
theories of the Christian Science peo-

is Soul Saving a Fad?
Ipr. G. F.. HALL

"If il isn't, it should be. That is, ii
we use the word fad in it's ordinary
sense-a custom. fashion, line of effort
or imitation. There can be no better
fad in this world than saving the souls
mainly and divinity co-operates q
work that angels would delight to &c
If they had the opportunity.
Il take little stock in the old-fash-
Toned mourners' bench system of get
ting religion, where emotionaltsm ran
riot. l take even less stock in the new
fashioned holiness we hear so much
about. When soul saving is connected
with such gymnastics and tom foOlery
as we see in some of the sanctfied
gatherings of the day there is some
cause for alarm. But so long as nine
tenths of the churches barely hold their
own-many actually losing ground
there is more to be feared from men
like DR.. Crandail and DR.. Thomas than
from all the sensational evangelists OF
the world. We can't save men when
we walk among them on stills, drawing
the skirts of self-righteousness about
us and Boosting that we abhor that
which is evil. Soul saving means get
ting at them where they live, with love
and fellowship and helpfulness-with
Christ and his gospel in personal and
concrete form.

For innocence we love and prize.
And always water our stock.
