At the morning service Sunday m.
Baptist church va. fillsd with peopIa
IL was a service intended primarily 10,
the new converts who have recent,
come into the church.
The pastor, Rev. r Aubrey Williams
spoke on Distinctive Baptist Principle,
In order, ss he said, that the peonle
might know why there was a Baptist
denomination. He began by saving that
he did not propose To speak In any no.
lemic or apologize spirit. His references
to other denominations were OF the most
courteous and kindly sort. He declared
that IL was with the greatest Joy that he
could say that Baptists agreed with
their sister denominations on far more
points than they disagreed.
He set forth the great fundamental
lsets oil the Christian faith. which they
held 10 common with all. such a.: The
doctrine OF the trinity, the doctrine Of
the atonement. the doctrine OF reoene,a-
tion. the inspiration OF ths Scriptures.
the deprsvity OF man. the doctrine oi
heaven and OF hell. but, said the speaker.
" these were all that they held, then
there could be no justification for their
SEPARATE existence rs q denomination.
He declared that every denomination
must have some distinctive principles
which gave a reason for their separate
He His purpose, therefore, was simply
In a kind, but plain and practical way. to
set forth what be conceived TO be the
principles which distinguished them As
Baptists. IL was not. as some
thought. he said. the contention that I'm
mersion In water only was baptism. for
the Greek church believed this. and also
another great denomination held to It.
10 was not that baptism was necessary
10 salvation, Tor they did not bold to
that IL was not CLOSE communion"
because all churches practically close the
communion to the baptized.
T0ree principles, he said. were the dis
tinctive beliefs OF his people:
The r-iecti IN Oi all creeds. confessions.
etc, and the settlement OF all questions
by what the Bible SAYS.
The insistence OF personal responsible

Mr.. Ginger said to Il Muscular man:
We have had IA pleasant time. Seat
tie is great and the fair, though not
as large as some have been. Is first
rate. Some of the exhibits are fine;
there are others which run little too
strongly To advertising private busi-
nesses, but these are not annoying
when you learn how to keep away from
them. There are many interesting fea-
lures at the fair. notably the Alaskan
exhibit and the forestry building. The
states Of Washington and Oregon have
particularly coed sho@!ncs and the Ha-
waiian islands show an exhibit that is
worth going To see. We were well
treated and had II thoroughly enjoy
