TROY NEWS

Troy, Nov. 15-I notice in your issue
of Oct. 81, someone wants to know
where to find the scripture where Christ
and his apostles sprinkled infants. l
hardly think he can find 1t, for the
reason the sprinkling or baptism OF
infants is con trary to Gods plan OF
salvation, for we are taught that first
we must consecrate ourselves to God,
then in symbol of the death OF our sell
will we are baptized in Christ. So you
see an infant could not have the under
standing of conservation or of laying
down the selfwill, and consequently
Christ would not do ANYTHING that was
contrary to the Fathers plan.
1t is likely that Matthew 1913, Mark
1O:13, Luke 1S: Is, are the texts wanted
