Now we know, the Methodist

there is no use for him to have
written on this par. of this sub.
ject; for we believe that water
baptism is necessary, to be ad.
heared to, True they do! But
while .hey do, they are but the
smallest drop in a bucket; com.
pared to the vast populated
world. And there are thou.
sands Of this vast army, who do
not believe in water baptis 20:

BAPTISM: Claiming only the
baptism Of the Holy Ghost!
Claiming that Christ nailed all
the ordinances to the cross, TAX
ing them out of the wuy.
Now this kind of teaching is
not inharmony with Christ's own
words, where He says. Go
teach all nations Baptising
them. Teach them to observe
all things whatsoever / have
commanded you" For He SAYS,
Not one jot or little OF the Law
or Prophets shall in no wise pass
until all Le fulfilled" And he
that breaketh one OF these the
least Of my commandments and
teach men 80, shall be called the
iaast in the kingdom OF heaven. u
Again, He says. whosoever
breaketh one OF the least com
mandments, are guilty OF the
whole"
Some cav that all the Law an
the Prophets was fulfilled vhsr
Christ died upon the cross, II
this ws won q have to quote tht
following.
And he shall send Jesul
Christ, which before was preach
ed unto you.
Whom the heaven most re
cieve until the times Of restitu'
ton Of all things which God hatl
spoken by the mouth OF all BIZ
holy prophets aimee the wor|'
began (Acts 3-20 -21.)
Now If Christ fulfilled the Law
and the Prophets at his death.
Then Peters language in re
gard to Christ's stay IN heavel
until all these things be fulfilled
surely was out OF place. out W
say Peter spoke right.
For Moses truly said unit
the fathers A Prophet shall th
Lord your God raise up unit
you Of your brethren like unit
me. him shall ye hear in q
things whatsoever be shall sa
unto you.
And it shall come to pass tha
every soul, which will not hea
that Prophet shall be destroye
from among the peorle." (Act.
) 3-22-23.)
This fultillnent will take pla.
when this prophesv is fulfilled
that speaketh on this wise.

KEEP, THE DOLLARS MOVING!

Business is ACTIVITY. Stagnation means decay.
AS there can be NJ. life in ~stagnant waters, just
50 here can be none stagnant business
Get this fact we'll in mind: Business activity
comes not from boarding, but from spending.
What would the world do without its spend
thrifts? They may carry a virtue to an ex-
IRENE, but as to the effect on business, better far
that than the boarding of the miser.

urged to enter the army Of the burrows; we are
urged to consecrate our all upon the alter of our
country, and we are urged to PRACTICE THE
|STRICTEST KIND OF ECONOMY.
should employ a different term from ECONOMY"
1t is right that we eliminate waste-waton waste
that brings good to none.
But quit spending? Never! That way lies
business, stagnation, want, and ultimate panic.
Imagine. q community entirely Independent
of the outside world. Sa It has a combined capital
of 500, 900, which Ii sufficient to carry on all of
its business. But the cry of "hard times" goes
ION, purses are closed, and the result is invitable.
The world is composed Of communities. In
and between these communities the public life
blood (gold) must flow If life be sustained. But
stop the flow Of that life blood and industrial
decay and death is the inevitable result.
We must earn, and keep on earning. And
equally as important, we must spend, and keep on
spending. Not waste; not reckless extravaganza,
but systematic, intelligent spending, that shall
keep the golden. life blood bounding through the
commercial srtsriss of the nation, stimulating
every w nook and corner of, the land to . wel-night

tention to the error in reporting the

The grand total Of 81, 124, $4,000
was correct, but the trouble was
that the adding machine in Clerk
