Six Reasons for being . Baptist
Concluded from last week.
Let as Tor moment examine
this principle. A father says
''Son do this" but the son dcss
something else. and SAYS to his
father. II thought what did
was JUST as we'll as what you told
me 70 do. Again. a master
says to his servant. DO this
aud the servant does somelhiag
else and the servant says 10 his
master. What | did was more
convenicn, and more proper.
Any son OF servant acting thus
Is direct arraignment oi the wis
dom and authority Of the father
and master. Therefore. as Bap-
lists. We are bound by the Thus
saith the Lord 10 keep il, tho
all the world may 90 contrary.
Hence. this puts the Baptists in
opposition TO the entire world.
and the entire world in opposition
to Baptists. The word Of God is
not partial revelation. but by il,
the man Of God saith the apostle
is thoroughly furnished unto all
good works. Tim. 3:Io,i7.
This is the fundamental posi-
ton OF the Baptists The whole
Bible is the foundation upon
which the Baptists Church is bas-
ed and not the DEGREES OF Pope.

We must have Tor our actions a
