Walter Pater.

The Contemporary Men of Letters series
is ushered in by a study of the life and
work of Walter Pater in a small dull red
volume of six short chapters, written by
FERRIS Greenslet. The purpose of the series,
edited by William Aspenwall Bradley, is to
provide brief but comprehensive sketches,
biographical and critical, of living writer's
and of. those who, though dead may still
properly be regarded as belonging to our
time-to include European as we'll as Eng
lish and American men of letters. Walter
Paters biographer, with admirable gift for
artistic condensation, presents an interest
ing and sympathetic sketch of 1.-The fugitive,
reconcile, but strangely effective literary
personality of his theme; tracing Pater's
intellectual development from the fancful
sensitive child in the house," through his
school days of Canterbury as a 'slow, SER
ious boy and his Oxford career as a pains
taking, scholarly student and tutor to his
final literary emergence as polished auth
or and ''myriad-minded humorist." An ex-
haustiye, illuminating and accurate analy-
sis is given of Pater's theory of the love of
beauty as an ethical motive and impulse.
Lionel Johnson, a student friend, wrote Of
him:
Gracious God rest him, he who toiled so
well
Secrets of grace to tell
Graciously.
An attractive portrait of Pater prefaces
the biography, TO which q valuable chronO-

DOESBIBLESAY IMMERSE?
METHODIST QUESTIONS TEACHINGS
OF THE BAPTIST CHURCH.
The Rev. George NJ. Smith, of Edwin
Ray Church, Argues Against Bap-
tism by Immersion.

Therefore we are buried with Him by
baptism into DEATH" was the text of last
nights sermon by the Rev. George M.
Smith at the Edwin Ray Church. He said:
This may seem a strange text for a SER
mon from Methodist pulpit. There was
time when the announcement of such
text meant a battle. My purpose is not to
make an argument against baptism by i'm
mersion. The Methodist Church approves
immersion as valid mode of baptism.
While we believe that immersion is a valid
mode of baptism we do not believe that
immersion is taught in this Scripture. A
careful study of this text will convince any
unprejudiced mind that there Is not
drop of water in it.
my first objection to making this Oft
quoted Scripture teach water baptism is.
1t does not read to that effect. The read
ing is buried into death, not into water
An eminent theologian has raised sec
ond objection, namely, there are several
things predicated of the subject We cru

guages knows that these predicates must
all be hgurative or they must all be lit
eral. If they are all figurative then the
burial is figurative. If they are all literal
then only crucied and dead body is
fit subject for baptism A third objection
that may well be urged against interpret

baptism synonymous when they are not
Buried is n permanent state, baptism is
a temporary act. The church has two sac
raments, baptism and the Lords supper
Baptism is an ordinance of the Holy Ghost
and the Lords supper is an ordinance of
Christ. To make baptism show forth the
death and burial of Christ is TO put il in
the place of the Lords supper and give TO
it a meaning that is entirely unscrip-
tural
"A burial implies death Now if we can

IF a body is buried in water il is covered

is only one covering that Is deep enough and
sins of man, and that is the death of

is accomplished is shown in the text by

DELIVERS FIRST SERMON
REV. III. w. QUIZENBURY AT COL
LEGE-AvENUE BAPTIST.
New Pastor Takes Charge of Pas
tOrate-Comes from N New Or
leans Church.

The College-avenue Baptist Church was
crowded to its full capacity yesterday
morning when Rev. III. w. Quizenbury the
new pastor of the church, delivered his
! first sermon. Mr.. Quizenbury arrived in the
city Saturday and took charge of his pasto-
rate yesterday. Until within the past few
years he has been pastor of the Valence-
street Church in New Orleans. He came to
indianapolis from Hamilton, o., where he
was successful in building up strong Bap-
fist church.
Mr.. Cuizenbury received the call to In
dianapolis several weeks ago. although he
knew but one two of the indianapolis
congregation. AT the same time that he
received a call TO this city he received like
| in st. Louis. but after visiting the two
cities he accepted the call in indianapolis.
Mr. ouizenbnry is a. comparatively comparatively young
| in the prime of life.
Mr.. Quizenbury chose the text of his ser
mon yesterday morning from Acts, X, %,
| II ask, therefore, for what intent We sent
! for me-" He said in part 1T is a serious
matter to call pastor. 1t is matter
fraught with great and grave responsible
ties The compact between pastor and peo-
pie ought to be entered into in the fear of
God, with congeniality OF mind. with
mutual esteem and a warmth of affection
which exceeds every other earthly love.

with interests above the more primary and
elemental interests OF life but a stage re-
moved from pioneer.
In "Hesper' Mr.. Garland seems to be
warming up more to his subject, while
sacrificing nothing of realism that is worth
while retaining. The story contains that
yigor of free and resolute life that no one
knows better than Mr.. Garland how to
picture. Ann Rupert, a gently bred New
York girl, leaves a house of luxury and
many lovers to go West with a brother,
an artist, who is in declining health. From
conventional mode of living the girl is
introduced to the wild, primitive life among
miners, ranchers, and other unconventional
types. Amid the excitement of miners
strikes and the rough life of the camp,
her brother finds health and she finds
within herself wealth of energy and love

Of natural emotion can be. From the

The Love Affairs of Mary stuart.

The history of England and its public
characters during the latter part of the
sixteenth century has been pretty well
threshed over. yet here is new book about
Mary Stuart. The only excuse that can be
advanced for the production of a new book
on so hackneyed theme is that the SUI
Mary has so frequently led her historian
into the by-path of inquiry as to her virtue
or vice as to have obscured, to some extent,
the reasons for her disastrous failure. The
author of this book. Martin Hume, thinks
these reasons did not spring from her good
ness or badness as a woman, but from GER
tain peculiarities of character, not vicious,
but weakening. In 1.-The Love Affairs OF
Mary Queen of Scots the author treats
of Mary's feminine qualities and seeks to
show the influence exercised in a critical
period of history by her affairs of the
heart. The book has historical value and
enough of romance to give it spice. Nc

Washington Special.


II our soldiers who are killed by bullets

ian who is known to belong TO a specific
church has to take its chances that the
religious body to which it's salvation n I'm
trusted stands well In the realms of the
blessed, and that the prayer OF its clergy
availeth. The soul of the soldier, on the
other hand, is looked after by Protestant,
Roman Catholic and Jew: The government
is bringing the bodies of fits defenders by
the scores from the far East for the pur-
pose OF burying them at Arlington. The or
binary soldier is not a great church-goer,
and it's hard to tell into just what religious
organization he was taken by infant bap-

dent in an orderly sequence that provokes
tears for the keroine's misfortunes, dislike
those who win her love. The only disap-
pointing feature in the book is that the au-
thor was not more kind to the foster-sister,
Rose. She should have been made more
loyable. An unusual feature of the story
is that while ii deals with the childhood
and young womanhood of the heroine and
her companions, neither courtship nor mar
riage has any part in it. Some of the
characters marry, ii is true, but their mar
riage is merely incidental. The only man
who attracts the heorine proves to be her
long-lost brother, already husband and
father. The book deserves to rank with
Miss Alcotts best in the authors ability
to tell about young women in an interest
ing way without providing each with
lover and combining the interest to affairs
of the heart. The blind girl who wrote il

it is one that will appeal to readers of all

given the name Duchess because she
