GENERAL SESSIONS.

With Judge Hayne F. Rice presid'
ing and the other regular court Of
ficials in their accustomed places, the
court of general sessions for the fal
term convened at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning, and since that time the ju'
dicial machinery has been grinding
away at the various grists brought tc
the mill. With few exceptions all OF
the grand jurors were present. Sew
eral petit jurors were excused from
service for various reasons.
There are an unusually large mum
ber of cases on the criminal docket
and therefore much work for the
grand jury, which will hardly ask fol
it's discharge before tomorrow and
probably not until Thursday. There
are fully as many defendants out on
bond as there are in Jail and the cour,
will therefore be engaged a large part
of next week with the criminal dock

defective" DR.. Haiselden said he
based his opinion on the child's ac-
tions. He said he was unable to de-
termine beyond all doubt that the
child was both deaf and blind. He
said, however, it failed to respond to
the customary light tests and that the
fact that one Of the ears was not de-
veloped at all and the development of
the other was only rudimentary. con-
vinced him that the child was deaf.

1t is very natural that most Of us
should feel that Mr.. Bryan is soured
by the fact that he has not been able
to attain the presidency. Almost any
individual who will examine himself
honestly, will have to admit that he
would be soured under the circum-
stances. But somehow we do not be-
lieve Mr.. Bryan is at all sour. We be-
lieve that he would take the presidency
if he could get 1t without sacrifice OF
his principles; but we do not believe
he really wants to be president. And
furthermore we do not believe that the
presidency would bring him any great
er distinction than he has.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER as, 1915.

Jesus tells us why he was baptized
when he said to John who felt that
Jesus should baptiZe him rather than
lhat he should baptiZe Jesus, SuHer
1t to be so now for thus 1t becometh
US TO fulnll all righteousness"
Jesus underwent the same ordi-
nances as other Jewish priests. On the
eigntn uay after his birth he was cir
cumsized, on the fortieth day he was
brought to the temple. When in his
twelfth year when talking In the tenn
pie he was no doubt consecrated In
ACCORDANCE with the law as laid down
in Numbers 81: And thus shalt thou
DO unto them, to cleanse them:
them." Paul said II behooved Christ
to do like his bretheren.
Scholars say, said Mr.. Stokes. that
the word sprinkle" occurs in the
Bible more than 40 times while the
word immerse does not appear at
all in the revised version which Is
commonly used. 1t Is to me unthink-
able that Jesus would adhere to the
law and fail in the manner OF his con-
secration.
It was reported to me said Mr..
Stokes, that recently it was stated
that while people may have left the
Baptist church for other cause, Eot
single Baptist had ever left on ac-
count Of his unbelief or dissatisfac-
tion with the Baptist mode Of baptism.
I have here a copy Of Fairfield's Let
ters, written by DR.. Fairfield an emf
nent Baptist preacher for 26 years,
who left the church and wrote q
series Of letters on sprinkling and
pouring.
ION April %, 1896 DR.. Whitsett, for
merly connected with the Baptist SEMI
mary at Louisville, wrote that prior
to 1641 Baptists in England practiced
sprinkling and pouring. Sept. 8, 1880
DR.. Whitsett wrote that the earliest
Baptist professions Of faith all con-
template sprinkling or pouring"
In the Sth chapter Of Acts, said
Mr.. Stokes, we have the story Of
Phillip baptizing the eunuch In a de-
sert.
I'm the account Of the baptism OF
Jesus, reference is made Of his step
ping out of the water. That Is not posi-
tive proof Of his immersion, because in
other passages we are told that he
went up into the mountain. Yet we
don't believe that Jesus made q hole
in the mountain and pulled the hole
in after him.
ITO my mind" said Mr.. Stokes In
conclusion, "one Of the best evidences
Of the authority of sprinkling and
pouring method Of baptism Is seen on
the walls in the catacombs at Rome.
Here among numerous other early
historical references in hieroglyphics
is a picture Of John the Baptist pour
ing water on the head Of Jesus. 1

inspectors to enforce this section.
1T seems from your letter Of the
18th instant that the factory inspect
ors find that many of the mills start
their wheels from 10 to 80 minutes
before the regular starting time In
the morning, run their wheels during
the noon or dinner hour and some
time at night, making a total running
time-11 1-2 to 13 hours per day.
That during this time operatives run
their machinery and are paid for the
work done during this extra time;
other operatives who do not work
this extra time and who do not get
equal production are punished by
their set of looms being taken away
from them and given to operatives
who will work this extra time. You
, ask whether or not, in my opinion,
when a mill pays weaver for this
extra cloth woven during this extra
time does that constitute a violation
Of the law.
I'm reply thereto I will say that, in
my opinion, such action on the part
Of the mill Is violation Of the law.
The statute prohibits and makes II
unlawful for any person to enter into
or enforce any contract for hours OF
labor other than as allowed by the
section. 1 am clearly Of the opinion
that under the state of facts present
ed in your letter that this Is a VIOLA
ton Of that statute.
LAS to your inquiry Of the 18th in
slant, as to the duty Of yourself and
factory inspectors to enforce this Sec
ton, will say that section 851 Of the
code Of 1912, volume l, in creating
the department Of agriculture, COM
trl, oh ftn do
partment with the execution Of the
work usually developed upon bureau
Of industries, Of a bureau Of agricul.
ture and a bureau of publicity.
"By section 855 the commissioner
Is charged with the work Of looking
to the promotion Of agriculture, man
ufacturing and other industries, etc.
by section 861 Of the code he 1.
required to collect certain statistics
and make an annual report, which
statistics show among other things the
number of hours Of labor per day
the manufacturing industries, etc.
Section 867 provides for the ap-
pointment of factory inspectors ant
requires them to assist the commits
sioner in the discharge Of the dutie:
imposed by article II Of the code
from and including section 861 to the
end Of the article.
Section S72 requires that the in
spectors shall enforce the provision!
Of article IL of the code and prosecute
all violations Of the same.
Section 421 Of the criminal code
is not specifically included in article
of the code, as codified by the code
commissioner, but as similar laws are
included in that article and the fac
tory inspectors are charged with the
enforcement Of those laws, and a.
such a law seems to me to be within
the work usually devolved upon a bu
reau Of industries, I am Of the opin'
ion that it is the duty Of your depart
ment and your factory inspectors t.
enforce this section"

give us better rates on lime and phos-

need to facilitate the production OF
legumes, clover, vetch and the like, is
lime and phosphate rock. Give us
lime with which to sweeten the soil
and rock with which to develop the
phosphoric acid, and we will not ask
Germany or anybody else any odds
about potash. We have all the potash
in our soils, at least in most Of our
soils, that we need, and the legumes
more particularly vetch, liberates pot
ash as rapidly as anybody could desire.
The fact is man is foolish to buy pot.
ash for fertilizer, when he can get 1t so
much more cheaply by sowing le-
gumes; but he cannot hope to get the
best results with legumes without
lime. All I ask Of the railroads is a
fair rate on lime, only such a rate
as they give up in Illinois and Ohio
where they do not charge more than
half what they charge here. Yes,
what we need most is lime and phos-
phate rock"

THE MODE OF BAPTISM

Rev. Henry Stokes who has beer
pastor of Trinity Methodist church
and Olivet church at Tirzah for the
past three years, preached his fare
we'll sermon of the present conference
year in Trinity church yesterday
morning before a large congregation
Mr.. Stokes took occasion to say tina,
he had never served a more loyal
and liberal people and that the past
conference year as we'll as the other
years he had spent in Yorkville were
years Of pleasant labor.
Preliminary to the service yester-
day morning Mr.. J. P. White, church
treasurer read a financial statement
Mr.. N. ]. Dillingham; Of the Cannon
mill presented the church with $14.76
donated by members at the Cannon
Mill for church work. At this eervice
Sunday morning $26 was raised to
supplement the amount previously
pledged for the work Of church ex-
tension and other causes.
In announcing his subject "The
Mode Of Baptism" Rev. Mr.. Stokes
said that 1t was a subject on which
he had never before spoken and he
was preaching the sermon at the re-
quest of one ofshis church members.
The denominations which practice
sprinkling and pouring in administer
ing the ordinance Of Baptism, he said,
included 80 per cent Of the Christ
lieve that they have Scriptural au-
.
The first controversy regarding
baptism did not concern the mode of
baptism, said Mr.. Stokes; but the
question of whether one other
than Jesus Christ had the right to ad-
minister the ordinance. Still there are
people and good people, too, who are
forever saying something about the
mode Of baptism and 1t Is therefore
fitting that those who represent 80
per cent Of the Christian world and
who believe in sprinkling and pour
ing, should occasionally say something
from their Iulpits in defense Of their
practice.
John the Baptist did not set in
motion the ordinance Of Baptism.
Paul says it was administered many
years before the coming Of Christ.
The Mosaic law did not specify bap-
tiSm by immersion. John the Baptist
who was the son Of a preacher and
whose parents were strict advocates
of the Mosaic law pertaining to all
things, would not have dared such an
innovation as baptism by immersion.
In Isaiah 52:15 we find the follow
ing in which the greatest Of the
prophets refers to the coming OF
Christ: so shall he sprinkle many
nations: the kings shall shut thei.
mouths at him: for that which had
not been told shall they see, and that
which they had not heard shall they
consider"
Some people, continued Rev. Mr..
Stokes, make a great deal Of capital
out of the baptism Of Jesus. They say
his baptism Is an example to us. II
deny that Jesus was baptized as an
example, because hundreds Of people
were baptized before he was. His
baptism, therefore, could not have
been as an example. I assert that
Jesus could not have had point Of
contact with you and me in His bap-
tism. John went up and down crying
repent ye and be baptized. Jesus was
baptized and yet He was without sin.

the role of the strugglirg clergyman
he does some of the finest dramatic
acting of his career. 1t is in Just
such roles as this one that Bosworth
achieved his reputation, though he
never played minister before, and
it is safe to say that his work in
this production eXcels all his past

The piece was produced by the

excellent picture, in five reels, which

they shall be made whittier than the

Mr.. Bosworth is supported by an
excellent cast, including such well
known actors as Jane Novak, who
aoquits herself admirably N the role
of Cecilia. Miss Novak does some
fine emotional acting as the frivolous
