KIGItENSKY MAN, OF THE HOUR.
All Russian Parties Unite in Calling
Premier to Lead.

Petrograd, Aug. 4.-The all-night
political conference at the winter pal
ace which was concluded this morn
Ing by the passage Of resolution in
which confidence in Premier Keren-
sky was expressed by each Of the five
pahrties represented and in which ho
was invited to form his own cabinet.
was conducted in the strictest order,
but with intense emotion. All the
participants were bviously convinced
that the decision which was to be
reached meant Russia's regeneration
or her ruin.
In conversation with the Associat-
ed Press correspondent, who was
permitted to be present, the minis
ters declared the conference, to be
the most momentous event in the
history of the Empire since 1913,
when, during the troublous times Of
the Polish war and internal anarchy,
the election Of first Romanoff by
similar conference Of notables at
Moscow saved the country from dis
solution.
The debate resolved itself into a
series Of panegyrics Of the absent
kerensky, who was acclaimed the
only man invested with the qualities
necessary to restore order while pre-
serving liberty. Foreign Minister
Terestchenko declared that peace was
inconceivable, that Russia must pre-
pare to fight throughout the winter
and that Premier Kerensky alone
possessed the confidence Of the ma
ton. M. Tseretelli, the minister Of
posts and telegraphs, in an emotional
speech, echoed the view that Keren-
sky was the only man who could
save the country. In order to allie
viate his task, declared the speaker,
the government would abstain from
forcing through the party program.
After these men had spoken, the
procuralor OF the Holysynod, M.
Lvoff rose and said that he, too, con-
sidered the premier the man destined
to be Russia's saviour. Minister Of
Justice Efremoff said almost the same
words in turn, describing the premier
as an Indispensable man.
KerensEy Remains at Holm.
Petrograd, Aug. 5.-Premier Ke-
rensky has returned to Petrograd
and withdrawn his resignation. He
attended ministerial meeting on
Saturday evening and afterwards
conferred with various political lead
ers.
M. Kerensky has issued a mani
festo in which he declares that he
considers 1t impossible, when the
country is threatened with defeat
without and disintegration within, to
refuse the heavy task again entrust-
ed to him, which he regards as an
express order from the country to
construct strong revolutionary gov
eminent to carry out the principles
already laid down.
At the same time" says the man.

troduce changes in the order and dis
tribution Of government work with

by the thought that these changes
will increase my responsibility in the

THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST. "
[Acts, 2:ss)
That the bestowal Of the Holy Ghost
Is an ordinance requiring higher au-
thority than that by which water
baptism may be performed II evi-
denced by Scripture. Philip-not the
Apostle Philip, but presumably one OF
the seven men who had been set apart
for q lesser ministry (Acts $40
preached to the Samaritans and bap-
tized many. Plainly Philip was en-
powered to administer water baptism;
and It is equally clear that an au-
7 thority greater than his was requisite
for the higher baptism of the Spirit
or the comforting Of the Holy Ghost
by the laying on Of hands. To this
the Scriptures testify:
Now when the apostles which were
at Jerusalem heard that Samaria
had received the word Of God, they
sent unto them Peter and John:
Who, when they were come down,
prayed for them, that they might re-
ceive the Holy Ghost: (For as yet he
was fallen upon none of them: only
they were baptized In the name Of the
! Lord Jesus.) THEN LAID THEY
THEIR HANDS ON THEM. AND
THEY RECEIVED THE HOLY
GHOST" (Acts s:14-l7.)
Very Illuminating is the instance Of

instructed as to the necessity Of the
baptism Of the Spirit. 1t In prob

immersion by unauthorized hands;
and therefore Paul caused that they
be baptized ''in the name Of the Lord
Jesus. AND WHEN PAUL HAD
LAID HANDS UPON THEM, THE

and they spake with tongues. and
prophesied."
To the Twelve Disciples who werv

continent, Christ gave special power.
so that all baptized believers upon
whom they would lay their hands
should receive the Holy Ghost; and
thus Is the assurances recorded:
