COMMUNION
NOT DISTURBED
az Rev. r. B. MeDaneI.l

(By Rev. R. B. McDanel.)
The statement that has appeared
in certain newspapers concerning
the abolition by the Bapfists Of what
is enormously called fsclose conn
munion," Is incorrect and mislead-
ing.
have no organization or power that
can legislate for them. Every Bap-
tist church is a pure democracy, and
each is absolutely independent one
of the other. Baptist churches are
federated in local associations and
State conventions, but these annual
gatherings are not in the least legls-
liative in their functions.
The truth about this newspaper
story is simply this: There is
disposition and feeling looking to-
wards union with the regular Bap-
lists of what is known as the Free
Will Baptists. This is a denomlna-
ton that was organized in the New
England states in the early part OF
the last century, by Baptist named
Benjamin Randall. BE and nus
followers did not separate from the
Baptists because of the communion
question, as has been supposed, me
difference was purely theological
Randall was Arminian IN his theoE
.ogv. He did not accept the doc
trines of CaIvinism as they were held
by the Baptists, although Randall
had no idea of forming a new de-
nomination. quote here some very
recent words: cit is true that most
people unacquainted with their his
tory have connected their name with
their present liberal attitude toward
tbe communion question Their
name on the contrary, arose from
their doctrine of freedom of Will, OF
Arminianism. The communion
problem was a much later issue.
The Freewill Baptists are ilrrn
immersionists, and their church GOV
eminent is a modified Congregation
alism. Their total number is 30, 8SS
nearly half of whom are in the New
ENGLAND States. Some years ago
there was a church at Flemington
in this state. but it is now extinct

the United States alone is 1900 ,oo'i

is any considerable number OF Free
Will Baptists, negotiations are pend

looking to a practical union. Inc
differences are slight end no more
than might be found even in a regu-
L. Tonfist church, sThe reporter
who exploited this story that such a
union meant an abolition of t'close
communion had, to say the least
a fertile imagination. BaPtists
stand Just where they have ever
stood, that baptism is only by I'M,
mersion, that sprinkling, whether Of
infants or adults, is unscriptural
and that this immersion of believers
only is a prerequisite to the Lords
supper. That is all there is in the
communion question, as it concerns
nearly five millions of people.

THE FINAL OFFICIAL

Several publications have been
made purporting to give the official
vote cast at the general election held
on November s, 1904. One of.the lat
est of these was issued by the Asso-
ciated Press, but even this usually ac-
curate source was in error this time,
as pointed out by the New York Tri-
blI1e.
Tribune has now issued what will
doubtless stand as the final revised
and corrected table, and this will be
the record of the election of 1904 as
contained in the Tribune Almanac,
which is published the first of the
year. The Tribune points out that
the Associated Press table had an err
ror of 5000 too many votes for Roose-
yelt in Vermont and about 10000
short on the total vote for Debs, So
cialist.
The Tribune Almanac, a standard
political reference book since the days
OF Horace Greeley, will show the fol-
lowing totals cast for the various
presidential parties in 1904, compared
with the vote of 1900:

AT THE LAST.

Many newspapers throughout the
State and adjoining Commonweal this
have paid tributes to the memory of
the late Governor Lowndes, who was
loved and respected wherever known,
but no more terse and faithful tribute
has been written than that which APP
peared in the Cumberland EUeninq
Times Yesterday which we reproduce
below:
With LLOYD Lowndes the book of
life has closed, and there is nothing
more to be edded to or subtracted
from the sum of his existence in this
world. The trial balance is in til
hands of his Maker
We believe there is balance upon
the right side. We will not speak of
his benevolence or make parade of
his charities. 1t would not please
the dead. We will make no reference
to the probable ambitions and
plans for the future, blasted by death.
1t would be no qualification to the
Lying.
We will merely speak of him as we
knew him. A courtly gentlema n
whose heart overlooked with the milk
OF human kindness. A Christian
whose purse was open to every deserv-
ing charity. A citizen whose devo-
ton to home interests and surround
lngs was never measured by dollars
and cents. a public man whose ca
reer was free from the faintest shad-
ow of suspicion.
In domestic life he was a model for
the men o. the day. He worshipped
at family altar in the midst of an ell
egance and refinement truly typical
of the ideal American home from
which there always flowed gener-
Gus and lavish hospitality.
From the city he loved, and from
the scenes in which he was for. so
many years conspicuous figure he
has passed forever. In sorrow and
sadness we lay a garland of immor-
telles upon his grave.
