Open Inquiry In Explosion On British Ship
TOTALITARIAN STATE, PROXY

THREATS ITO BAPTIST CHURCH
Speaker at Southern Con-
vention Fears Day When
Free Church Will Be
Heresy, if Not Treason

NEW ORLEANS, May IA
(UP).-Scuthern BaptistS in their
92nd convention here yesterday
were warned against the foes of
democracy and the rise of totali-
tartan state.
Democracy stands in need Of
that spirit you are seeking to fos-
ter-the democracy Of the Father
land of God and the brotherhood
of man." Gov. Richard w. Leche
of Louisiana told the 5000. Gov.
Leche'S theme forecast that of DR..
John X. Sampey, Louisville, KY,
president of the convention.
Movement toward totalitarlan
state and "the challenge of proxy
religion" were two threats to the
Baptist church, Sampey said.
"Tnstead of the Jetfersonian
theory that the best governed peo-
pie is the one that has The largest
liberty Of action compatible with
the public safety" he said, "we
now have the theory that the pub
lie welfare demands that the state
become responsible for everything
that affects the life of its citizens.
sooner or later the doctrine OF
a free church in free state will
be told in plain terms that in
every sphere of life the state must
be supreme 49, and that religion
must adjust itself to the DEGREES
of it's Master"
Sampey feared "thc doctrine of
the separation of church and
state will be attacked as political
hcrcSy, if not treason. Pastors
will be required to read to their
congregations the announcements
of governmental authorities and
to preach on topics that political
authorities wish them to discuss"
CHURCH'S DOCTRINE OF
BAPTISM IS STRESSED
Turning to the subject of bap-
tism. the church leader said:
"The majority of processing
Christians today accept the griev-
Gus error of baptiSmal regenera-
ton. Other denominations who
join us in teaching that we are
saved by personal faith in Christ
retain the practice of infant bap-
tiSm as part of their inheritance
from former union with the Cath
Ollie church.
"ThuS the overwhelming ma
iority Of the Christian world ac-
ccpts the doctrine that the parent
can believe for the infant and
that parents should bring their in
FAINT children to the church for
baptism. Baptists in all times and
climes have rejected proxy reli-
gion. We believe that personal
faith should precede baptism and
that only believers should be
buried with Christ in baptism"
DR.. Scion B. Cousins, Rich
mond, Va, which likely will get
the 1888 convention, said the
world today is intellectually per-
picked. morally muddlcd, economi-
cally insecure and religiously
wasteful. We need a return to
the strict gospel of Christ.
"Singularly enough, the ancient
antagoniSmS which confronted the
Lord when he entered Galilee con-
front us. They are mammonism,
materialiSm, and exaggerated ma
tionalism and added to these the
increasing pressure of secular
ism"

ing the present session OF Con-

viding additional benefits to Uncle
Sans workers were before the
House today as the new session

the enactment of legislation, de-
signed to raise the pay of Gov

ure calling for $4,000 minimum
annual pay for all Government
employees.
While the proposal does not call
for any increased compensation
for those in the upper brackets,
it would insure boosts in pay for
those in the lower brackets. This,
