CONTINUED from Page y

Other white MP's came to his
rescue, and the battle royal was
on. Calls were sent out for aid
and the city police and state troop
ers arrived with shotguns and tear
! gas.
Citizens said the Negro soldiers
We're unarmed and that the Negro
MP's carried only clubs, whert as
the white MP's had guns. This,
they said. explained why only Ne
groes We're shot.
The only white cau7alty was n
white civilian policeman who in
jured his finger while beating a

The report that the Negro MP's
We're unarmed is suplfrted by
earlier reports that instructions
in several camps had been issued
to Negro MP's who were not Civ
en- arms never to arrest or repri'
mand white soldiers.
The Negro soldiers hacked up by
an indignant citizenry were forced
therefore to resort to the use of
stones, clubs, bricks and other
like objects to protect themselves
from the murderous onslaught Of
the whites.
No action is reported to have
been taken against the white MP's
whom it was felt were directly
responsible for the entire affair

Johns Baptism
We must first admit no fern Of
baptism is valid. 1t positively
does not, ean not, and will not
save any body, Something radi-
cal must happen in the heart, be
fore any form of baptism is used,
only in case Of infants which we
will explain later is there an ey-
ception.
john called on the people to for
sake their sins and turn to God,
He asked them to make their
hearts ready for the reception of
the Messiah who was about to APP
pear; and as a sign of their re-
pentanee John baptized them with
waters Of Jordan So Johns was
baptism Of repentance.
We have been asked, If Johns
is a baptism of repentance, why
WAS Jesus baptized? Who was
pure, clean and holy, and that fact
admitted by John, who refused
himself because Of that, and was
himself bapti2ing people? The
best answer | could give was; the
Christ had re need Of a baptism
unto repentance; Jesus was being
inauguated and INDICTED, into mis-
public ministry as the Messiah
sent from God to save the world
from sin. Jesus was taking his
place among men to serve, this bby
his life and death. In his baptism
be became one with Israel as
sin-bearer, and not a sin-sharer,
Then we have been asked how
was Jesus baptized? This has
been an age old question among
the denominations Let's take the
phrase, with water in Jordan, y
mot in water but with water III

er, it appears that Jesus was stand

What About Infant Baptism
Every body is born in sin and
shaped in iniquity, There has
never been a soul entered into the
world without sin, except Adam
and Jesus. Every soul else is

Why is the child baptized if it
is born and shaped in iniquity?
When the child is born it is de-
dictated to God by baptism, by it's
