What advantage then hath the
Jew! or what profit is there Of

But then Paul you aud Peter

know much about Gods ordiA.

Therefore baptism TAKES the
place Of circumcision. and II
does not matter whether w6
sprinkle or pour. for thev say.
And we can not hardly afford to
immerse, Although God and His
Christ has taught US by you TO
do 30; we think it is best for
to have 1t a little our own way

this is q general conclusion with
all Sectarian churches tcdsy i.
Which again, is contary 10 the

Moreover. brethren, I would
not that ye should be ignorant,
how that all our fathers were

poin. out the arguments held
out by those different churches
upon their different views: The
world 10 this oar dav are we'll

Lave reasons 10 speak Of some
Of the teachings Of those who

nesses of a christian character.
We believe that il is an EN- mbiem
of the death and resurrection of
Christ Jesus our Lord. We oe'
lieve it Is . commandment given
to US from Christ. Believing
this; and learning from Holy
Writ that we are to give God our
heart soul body mind and
strength; 1t then becomes our
duty. to bring our bodies q living
sacrifice Holy acceptable unto
God which is our reasonable
service.
We also believe that this
sacrifice cannot be made mani
fest in no palmer manner than
in baptism by immersion. For
in immersion THAT Is in the act)
our entire body Is given UP to
the com mandment of God. In
the act OF immersion our entire
person is shut out from the
world Buried with Christ by
baptism and like as Christ was
raised up from the dead We
should walk in newness of life.
| What a grand witness to a
christian life none better: Being
planted in the likeness OF bis
burial, brought up in the like
ness of bis Resurrection. The
world is then lost to US. What a
sacrifice; This solemn act could
not Le performed in sprinkling
or pouring. In the act Of INNER
sion YOU give yourself up entire.
ly into the bonds of Christ and
/ the minister: Almost as helpless
as q little child. In sprinkling or
pouring you cannot do this.
In immersion you come as
near in acts of fulfilling the
scriptures as you can in life,
where Christ says unless you
become as a little child you can.
not enter the kingdom of
heaven.
For in this act, we say to the
world. we have surrendered all
up to Christ, and made it mani
fest by immersion; which we
can not do in the act of sprink
ling or pouring, Helpless, we
repeat, in the act of immersion
but not so in either one of the
other two modes.
Holy Writ says humble your
self under the mighty hand OF
God and he will exalt yeu. You
can fill this com mandment in
imersion better than you can in
any other mode. Immersion is
doing and going as far in hap
tism as you can, but in srink
ling or pouring you are not.
I Therefore. dear reader, we
say to yon when you are bapti
zed 60 as tar for Jesues as yor
can and you will not stop shor

The Eunuch "A grand witness to
the Great Apostle Paul-To the
Jailor TO Lidia And q host Of
others: And we believe tnat
they were all immersed.
But says out opponent. does
not the prophet Ezekiel ray to
rs;
Then will I sprinkle clean
water u.non you aud ye shall be
clean; from all your flthiness
and from all your idols, will I
cleanse you" Ezek' Sc rs.
We ask the question what
time did the prophet have refer.
ance too. that God was going to
sprinkle clean water upon them?
Or has iJ already been? And for
this scripture 20 be any benht
to our opponents in the argu'
ment Of baptism, they would
have to say that Is was when
Christ died upon the cross. and
in saying that then would be
cut of by the reading of the
24lh. verse CT the same chapter,
which reads on this wise" For I
will take you from among the
heathen: and gather you out OF
all countries and will bring you
into your own land"
When He brings the Israelites
(the Jews) into their OWE land
from among all nations. Then
he will sprinkle clean water up
on them and they shall be clean
sed from all their iniquity, and
their idols,
This could not possibly have
any reference to the time o.
Christ's death; for at that time
He did not gather the Jews
neither did H. cleanse then
from all their idols. Therefore
that time must yet come.
On, but, 1says the Methods

that after Peter had opened the

Peter commanded them 10 be
