''hardshell" and was proud of it and
that he considered the union undesir-
able and impracticable. He said if the
Baptists were busy trying to save the
world they would have no need of
worrying about the Disciples, and if
the Disciples would get busy trying to
save the world they would have no
need to worry about the Baptists.
DR.. Ainslee said in reply:
ANSWERS REPLY
'The day must come when these two
families of immersionists must unite.
The scandal of the division of the Bap-
lists and the Disciples is a reproach
to us both. Our union will be the tri-
umph of love. Christ demands it.
There is no time for grumbltng or
skulking. The kings business requires
haste and brothers have no right to
look into the face If brothers with any
other than the look of love. The badge
of our heavenly created citizenship Is
kindness, courtesy, forgiveness and
oneness in mind and heart
