Baptist Union Not Federation,

AS a week ago we suggested to
Presbyterians, Congregationalists and
Methodists a union of heart and head
as better than federation, so now we
suggest to the denominations whose
doctrines we are considering today.
What we shall suggest respecting bap-
tism will apply to all Christians.
All Christians agree that Jesus and
his apostles taught baptism and that
there are but lone Lord, one faith and
one baptism" (Ephesians iv, 81. We can
not here elaborate, but merely suggest
that nowhere in the Scriptures is in
FAINT baptism commanded or urged. The
expression, Believe and be baptized"
implies mental development capable
of belief beyond that which infants
possess. The original pretext for in
Producing infant baptism was set forth
by st. Augustine. who urged that as
all mankind were going to eternal tor
ture except the Church. it was neces-
sary to get infants into the Church;
and baptism was set forth as the
doorway. All parents, of course, were
anxious that their children should be
immersed into the Church and saved
from eternal torture. And those good
wishes were certainly commendable,
even if unnecessary.
Subsequently immersion was declar-
ed to be unnecessary and sprinkling
became its substitute with all The
thought of preservation from eternal
torment thereafter attached to the
sprinkling. Although our minds have
broadened, so that comparatively few
believe St. Augustine's presentation,
nevertheless the custom of infant
sprinkling continues with more or less
of fear to abandon it for the child's
sake
Who will dispute that st. Paul's
words Of Romans vi, 3-5, are the clear
est presentation of the import of bap-
tism furnished us In the Bible! The
passage is cited in proof of every the
DRY of baptism. yet it supports only
one-the true one. Notice that it does
not say, as many suppose, So many Of
us as were baptized into Jesus Christ
were baptized into toGter. 1t does say,
$50 many Of us as were baptized into
Jesus Christ were baptized into his
DEATH" Is there not a differencel
That difference is the explanation OF
all Of our difficulty on this subject
The clearing of it away furnishes the
foundation for harmony between all;
and not merely for harmony, but for
union amongst all classes of consecrat-
ed Christians.
Consider the passage critically
First, immersion into Christ signifies
to the justified believer his immersion
into. his burial into. the Body OF
Christ as a member of 1.-The Church
which is his Body (Ephesians !, %
23). The Apostle sets forth clearly 6
distinction between the Church and
the world and between the salvation

REGARDING TILE
SCIENCE CONTEST.
The work Of the girls in the
recent Domestic Science Con
test, taken as a whole was un
usually good, and we are glad
to know that so many OF the
teachers and pupils of the
county are interested in this
feature Of education, for it is a
very important one.
We know there were some
disappointment among h e
contestants and we wish to say
a few words regarding the
Judging of the different articles
in hopes that they may be help
full not only to those who were
contestants this year but to
those who may enter another
such contest.
In deciding which was the
best made gingham dress sever
al points were observed. The
cutting of the material was
noticed, the depth of seams
and the way they were finished
was closely observed. There
we're several dresses that APP
peared very nice, and had they
been finished with french seams
or bound seams they would
have been much better. An
other matter of importance was
the hem of the dress, the width
and straightness of the hem
was considered. In fact every
thing that went to make mp a
well proportional, neat dress
was given due consideration.
1t was just a little bit hard to
decide which of the aprons de
served the prizes as there were
two kinds of aprons entered,
the small dainty white apron
and the sleeved apron. The
same things that we're noticed
in the dresses we're also given
attention in the aprons and at
ter careful consideration it was
decided that one OF the white
round aprons was in every way
best made, while a sleeved cali
co apron was awarded second
prize
There were few entries in the
fancy work department but all
were good. More of the girls
seemed interested in making
the more practical dress or
apron.
There was certainly 4 good
collection Of cake of all kinds,
angel foods, devil foods and
various kinds of layer cakes.
The texture the lightness and
the taste of each cake were
considered as qualities of that
particular kind Of cake.
There were not so many
loaves OF bread as there were
cakes. Each loaf was given
careful attention as to light.
ness, taste and baking, and all
were found very good. Each
OF the girls IS to be compliment.
ed on her effort
We wished TO call attention
TO these different points in or.
der that each girl might under.
stand in such a way that If she
were going to enter another
contest she might e wherein
she might improve her work
and also that others might be
guided In the same lines.
We are glad to see the girls
taking up the work and we hope
this contest may have been on.

work as she always does. They
have oiled the floor and keep
everything up in shape for

workers.
At Crescent Hill they have
an enrolment Of 90 with %

sion. She attended this school
as a pupil and has been the
teacher several years and the
board win make a mistake If
they do not keep her.
Down at Hess school they

work for them. The pupils
made a good showing on the
test and are willing workers.
This school has had but five
tardies in the first two months.
Several other schools were
visited but as they have been
visited before this year we
shall not speak of them at this
time.

coming in and they show up
well. Miss Ella McCune of

Katie Frank of Sprague with 80
enrolled reports 2 tardies both
made by one pupil. Miss Lydia
Reilly of Green Castle with 20
enrolled reports 2 tardies. This
is better known as number IS.
One thing more than any 9th.
er that the teachers neglect is
the ventilation of the school
room. 1t is not uncommon on
a cold day such as we have had
the past week to 90 into a
school room and ind the win
dows closed tight aud fast and
the pupils having to breath the
air over and over again. Bhe
work is not as satisfactory as
it should be under such condi.
tions and the worst Of all the
health of the pupils is not very
carefully guarded. Another
thing some of our teachers are
too lax on is the supervision of
the games and play grounds.
They often turn the children
out and allow them to do what
ever they care to without re.
gard to the rights and privil-
edges of others. Now some
teachers do not do this but ON
the other hand take part in the
games and play with the pupils
and invaribly where the teach.
err does this the complaint OF
patrons about difficulties ON
the play ground is greatly re
duced. There has not been :
complaint made to this Office
this year but it was concerning
something that occurred on the
play ground.

There is a question that is larger
than government or trade, and that is
the moral %well-being of the vast mil
lions who have come under the protec-
ton of modern governments. The rep
resentative Of the Christian religion
must have his place side by side with
the mar Of government and trade, and
for generations that representative
must be supplied in the person of the
foreign missionary from America and
Europe. Civilization can only be per-
manent and continue a blessing to any
people if, in addition to promoting
their material well-being, it also
stands for IN orderly individual liber-
ty, for the growth of intelligence and
for equal justice in the administration
of law. Christianity alone meets these
fundamental requirements. The
change of sentiment in favor Of the
foreign missionary in a single genera
ton has been remarkable.

TWAIN, HUMOR|ST
Interesting Life of the Man Who
Made the World Laugh.
RIVER PILOT IN HIS YOUTH
Did His First Literary Work in Me-
Vada-Sad Events That Clouded
His Later Years-A Clean
Life Record.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens, Ameri
cas- foremost humorist and known the
world over as Mark Twain" was born
In the little town of Hannibal, Mo-, in
November 80. 1885.
His father, John Marshall Clemens,
came from an old Virginia family, and
with his young wife, Elizabeth Lamp
ton, a descendant of the early settlers
of Kentucky, he Joined the sturdy
band of pioneers who pushed over the
Alleghanies in the early part of the
last century and settled along the
banks of the Mississippi river.
In the uncouth environment of the
then little frontier town of Hannibal
the famous author spent his boyhood
days. Here he fished, hunted and
lounged along the river banks with his
sturdy companions, living a healthy
outdoor existence, which undoubtedly
accounted for his long life, in the face
of his many Affections.
He attended the little school, but
not being of a very studious DISPOSE.
ton, he learned far more from con-
tact with the rough companions whom
he immortalized in later years as
"Huckleberry Finn" and tom Saw
YER" and others of their type.
At the age of twelve his meager
school education was brought to a
sudden close by the death of his ia
Their.
His older brother, Orion s.. Glenn
ems, was the proprietor of a printing
shop in the village, and young Sam
Clemens began his journalistic career
there as a printers devil" In the
course of a few years he learned the
trade as a compositor, and in 1853 he
left his native town and began a wan
dering existence. He journeyed from
place to place, working at his trade in
New York and the principal cities of
the middle west.
But while he gained a vast amount
of experience during his travels, which
proved of the greatest value in the
preparation of some of his works in
later years, this period was rather un-
profitable from a financial standpoint,
and he was finally compelled to return
to his home along the banks of the
great river, in rather straitened cir
cumstances.
Becomes River Pilot.
The life of a steamboat pilot had al
ways appealed to his youthful magma.
ton, and now that he had grown to
manhood, he resolved to realize his
ambition. He was fortunate enough to
become a pupil Of Horace Bixby, and
he was soon guiding the awkward
river craft along the tortuous channel
of the muddy stream,
The idea of his becoming an author
had never entered his mind at that
time, but he absorbed enough Of the
