Origin and Pnrposcs of the Bnptist
Church.

J. :. j., GENERALIZATION uucs-
tons as to the origin and purposes
OF the BAPTIST Church are general
rather than specific. Here are an
swers furnished by Baptist brother:
a Baptist Church is a certain num-
her OF men and women who profess
10 be followers OF Jesus Christ and
who subscribe to and have practiced
immersion as their mode OF baptism,
these being handed together for good
work. Each Baptist Church is gov
eminent unto itself, managing Its
own affairs without orders or lcgIs-
lativc help from any other body or
organization, all matters being set
tied in the good old democratic way
by majority vote of the members.
Some i'aptists claim the first BAPTIST
church was the original church or
ganiZcd At Jerusalem soon after the
resurrection by Peter and John and
the other Apostles. At any rate, all
churches organized since that time
have been after that model. The Bap-
list Church was originally organized.
and liz now claimed TO be conducted
for but one purpose--thc better way
to obey tho Divine command and to
spread the Gospel throughout the
world. that mon may be saved.

Canccliny tho Intcrn,Iicd Debt.
