DIR WILSON'S FIGHT.

aggressive fight for election his chances of sue

time ago. .................
Lewis the Republican candidate, is political
leader of considerable strength who knows the ins
and outs of campaigning and his speeches have
made hit with the progressive element of the
Republicans. They regard him as more advanced
in his views than his party.
Although the candidacy of DR.. Wilson has con-
siderable strength, elements of weakness are ap-
pearing and the closing days of the campaign may
unfold them to greater extent tnan was thought
possible There is complaint long and continued,
that Dr. Wilson has the support OF the trusts and
the Democratic machine politicians and this is
being used with telling effect against him
The State Federation OF Labor which is potent
force in New Jersey politics is lined up against
Dr. Wilson because OF dspleasure over his past
utterances on these questions. AT the recent con-
ventiou Of the State Federation resolutions we're
passed eoudemning DR.. Wilson because OF his
VIEWS on labor and the labor movement against
him will doubtless extend to all parts OF the State.

PADDING CENsus FrGuREs.

It HE struggle among several western cities to

the census padderS into trouble and some Of them

heves that some Of the census takers in Tacoma,

other western cities guilty Of gross frauds.
President Taft has taken notice of the matter
aud is urging the vigorous prosecution OF the
guilty. Census padding is a very sbsurd and silly
thing, for the truth is soon discovered The claim
ing OF a fictitious population when the bubble
bursts leaves the city much affected worse than be-
fore.
Il may be recalled that the city Of Omaha. Neb.,
was suspected Of padding in 1890 when the re.
turns showed an alleged population Of 100000 as
compared with a trihe more than 10000 in 1890

&#I caily Baptists, Adventists
and Disciples represent more
y III than one-third of the Prot
estants of the United States.
What they must yield for
church federation is therefore an i'm
portant question All three of these
systems are built upon the Congre-
gationaI platform, which recognizes
as scriptural the independence of each
congregation as to its own creed in
all matters of faith and church or
der. These bodies of Christians. there
fore. could not join the Federation
as denominations. The only method
bv which they could give adherence
would be either by abandoning their
principles of independence for which
they have so long contended, or else
by remaining quiescent While their
ministers through councils and con-
ferences essay to act for them And
here it should be noted that the mem
bership of these large Christian
bodies have more and more during
the past thirty-five years shown their
ulate their affairs, even though con.
trary to their avowed principles OF
church government.
But it is from the standpoint of
doctrines rather than church govern
ment that we shall examine our sub

| that some of the doctrines once con-
sidered all-important can in the light
of our day be laid aside as obsolete
as hindrances in every sense of the
word Caution, however, would sug-
gest that for everything discarded as
unscripturaI the truthful substitute

gress would be toward the destruction,
not only of the bad of our creeds of
the past, but also of their good feat

Doctrinal Surrender of Baptists.

salvation. And a baptism in water
they recognize as an indispensable
outward indication of this regenera-
ton. Hence it is standard Baptist
doctrine both North and South, in all
Baptist churches with rare exceptions,
that no unimmerSed person should be
esteemed a member of Christ'S church.
In word, faith and reformation are
steps of justification, but water i'm
mersion is the door into Christ. Only
those who pass through this door are
members of the church of Christ from
this viewpoint; hence, consistently,
/ none others are invited to partake of
the Eucharist-the Lords supper.
The argument is that this supper,
symbolizing death with Christ, was
offered only to the consecrated and
accepted members of Christ's church.
Hence to invite others than those i'm
mersed in water would be a violation
of the letter and the spirit of the Di-
vine Word, and a countenancing of
false doctrine. The argument is that
all of the elect" will be guided of
the Lord, 60 that their hearts and
heads will become amenable to these
teachings. Obedience thereto will be

Christ.
Like the rest of US. our Baptist
friends have been in the past rather
Illogical in all matters religious and
doctrinal; so much so that many of
them have 'ever realized the full
meaning of their doctrine. The mean
| ing was grasped in the long ago, but
| has generally been lost sight of with
| in the last fifty years. It is this:
Since water immersion is the evidence
| of obedience to Divine instruction and
since all of "the elect are not only
instructed of God. but obedient to
| him, therefore those not baptized in
water are not of Gods elect-are not
members in his church. And this in
turn, according to Baptist doctrine,
| implies that all not immersed in wat
err are outside of the church-outsfde
of the number of '.the elect''-outside
of Gods favor-outside of the saliva
| ton provided in Christ-and therefore
inside the dImnation and eternal tor
ment which Baptist doctrines imply
have been foreordained for the eternal
| torture of the non-eleet.
| Do our Baptist friends who meet
unimmersed Christians of other de-
nominations in the walks of life from

ter are on their way to an eternity OF
torture? Moet assuredly they do not!

that a symbolical immersion into
water such as was practiced by the
early church. according to all the rec
ords, would be the most reasonable,
most beautiful, most appropriate
method of cymbolixing the real bap-
tism into Christ-into his death!

tent to merely federate! Let us unite
