Doctrinal Surrender of Baptists. Baptists -will- una Utile to dispute with .their co-rcllgtonlsts ot tho Fed- eration along general doctrinal luies, their chief difficulty will ho Itt tho mat- ter of what constitutes Christian bap- tism—tho ncccssliy of water Immer- sion to admission to Church member- ship. For years tills doclrlno has boon even more tenaciously hold than is generally realized, Oar Baptist breth- ren hold to justlDetttlos by faith as a drat or preliminary step which tho sin- ner must take. Hurt they equally hold that this Is not tho final step—that the step of BucriiJco, tho step of regenera- tion much follow la order to salvation. And a baptism in water they recognize us an Indispensable outward Indication of Una regeneration- Hence it la stand- ard Baptist doctrine, both North and South In all Baptist Churches with rare exceptions,, that tit imimmcrjiall parson, should Matccmtk (a memb&l of .OArUikChttrdt. < h , 7 In d'word, fkithand jrotormattdn are Wpsi of justi/lcatlijn. trot irntcr.'lmrnor- Intdn Is tho door Into Christ. Orily thoso 'who pass through this door are tim- bers of the Church of Christ from this Viewpoint; hence, consistently, none others are invited to jartnke of the Euchnrlst-tho Lord?s Supper. The nr- gttmdtitJH that this Snppor, symbolbs-, tag a&thfwlth Ohrlst -was offered only to tlj£ ioiisecrntcd and accepted mem- bers off prist's Clrarob. Hence to In- vite others than those Immersed In water would bo a violation ot the let- ter and the spirit of tho D,lvlne Word and a countenancing o£ (also doctrine. T&s argument is that all Of \th« elect?\ will be guided of the Lord, so that their henrts and henas will become amenable to these teachings. Obedi- ence thereto will be shown by submis- sion to water immerslon-tho door Into the Church of Christ tlfeo' tho rest of as, our Baptist friends have Been In tho past rather lHogicnl in all matters religious and doctrinal; so much so'that many of them have never realized the full meaning'of their doctrine The mean- ing -was grasped In. the long ago, but has generally becu lost sight of within the Inst fifty years- It Is this: Since i water immersion is tho evidence of obedience t o Divine Instruction and since nil of \the elect\ aro not only in- structed of God but ohcdlent to him, therefore thoso not baptized In water are not of God's elect—are not mem- bers In his Church. And this in turn, according to Baptist doctrine, implies that nil not Immerses la water are outside of tho Church—outside of the number, of \tho clecf'-outslde of God's favor—outside of the salvation provided in Christ—and therefore in- side the damnation and eternal tor- nient which Baptist doctrines imply have been foreordained for the eternal torture of all tho non-elect. Do our Baptist friends who meet unlmmeraed Christians of .other de- nominations in the walks of life from day to day really believe that the lat- ter aro on their way to nn eternity of torture? Most assuredly they do not! But this Is merely because they- ore Ulogleal, lifcb the rest of us. They are as Illogical as their brethren of other denominations. ^J'hey have out- grown at least this feature of the teachings off the \darfe ages\ handed down to them by well-meaning but less enlightened forefathers. One glance &i the matter will suffice to. show bur Baptist brethren that the Very strongest features of their teach- ing needs; somo revision. However fundamental may be the doctrine of baptism, some of their conclusions re- specting it -will bo greatly advantaged by a liberal pruning. But eaution should be used. The Bible should be consulted. \We offer the suggestion that too hasty a. rejection of water, immersion would be a mistake—that the proper cotjfte for otlr Baptist friends Is to Study tho Scriptures afresh-on this subject,. What Wonder- ful advantages are how at the com- mand of afl Blbie students! They have marginal references by which bne passage throws light Upon another.

The .doctrine; of the Second Advent of Ohrlst Is common to all denominaf. •ttpns; ^ And tho Adyentlst belief that itt .that*time the earth will be burned up Is also a feature of all tho.yarlous; creeds. Many Adventlsfe have aban- doned tho thought that the Savior's second appearing is at; hand. And, many more are abandoning tho thought that when ho appears Adventjsts aiono will bo saved, and. nil the remainder ot mankind, will participate in' the de- struction and burning which shall then engulf the earth. It should not bo difficult lor them to reailie; that there Is no groat necessity for controversy along tho lines of tho time of Ohrlat's coming, since they acknowledge them- selves completely In tho dark on- that' subject. Neither cpn we suppose that after thoughtful 1 consideration they should feel Justified in assuming that thoy alone are \tboclect*\ Let us Jiopb that with broadening sentiment they aro more and more realizing that there are saints and sinners In their own number, as well its in all denomi- nations and as well as In tho world;? and that \tho Lord knoweth. them that aro his\ and will care for them, regard- less of denominational lines.

Doctrlnolly they claim, most faithfully to stand by the Word of God alone. And ono of their familiar declarations is, \When the Word of God speakcth we speak; when the Word of God Is silent wo aro silent\ But this beautiful simplicity ot theory our /Disciple friends have found dim- cult' to work oht la practice, Hence we find th^m |s strongly Intrenched behind unwritten creeds las aro others behind elaborated creeds. Thoso aro Inculcated through the writings of their standard authorities—lncludln| tho edltora of their leading Journals! \Disciples\ hold mo3t tenaciously as tho/ Bible teaching that oopfton |h loafer ts indhpcnmble to the rcmUim of *W This doctrine Is supported jly several Bible texts which declare, \Arise and be baptized and wash away thy sins;\ \Baptism unto repent- ance and remission of sins,\ etc Before pointing out their mlsappll- cations of these texts let u s note the facts that according to their theory all others of mankind, Christians, Jews and heathen, who have not been Im- mersed have not had their sins washed away. Consequently such aro yet in their sins. Consequently such are lost, And lost according to the general tin-' dorstandtog of Disciples and; other Christians signifies shut out of heaven —shut out of Paradise—shut Into .heii and its eternal torment. Do our Disciple friends act as though they believed' this teaching? Do they spend all of their time and energy and money in seeking to bring • fellow-Christians into water baptism for the remission of sins and. escape from eternal torture? Assuredly they do not. I Hence we are justified In supposing that like our Baptist friends, they have not taken seriously and log- ically their own doctrines. Bather they have assented to them thought- lessly! it would appear to ns, there-' fore, .that doctrlnally our Disciple friends might easily be prevailed upon to abandon their peculiar tenet to tho extent that it wouid not hinder, them from losing their identity ns advo- cates of, \baptism for the remission of sins\ and merging themselves or federating with others... -• • • • \Waislst them out of thelfliiiflculty by St, Augusnns.'-wno nrgwrtaatTaa all minKlod. were solng to eternal tor- ture except the Church, It was neces- sary to get Infants into the Church; and, baptism was set; forth as the door-way.

Consider the passage critically, First, immersion Into Ohrlst signifies, to the Justified boltover his Immersion into, but burial Into, tho Body of Christ as a member of \tho Church which Is Ms.Bo4jr!* fEpheslans I, 33, 23). Tho Apostle sots forth clearly n distinction between tho Church, and tho world and between tbo salratlon; of tho Church and tho salvation of the, •world. The Church aro ''tho elect\ ot tho ford, called and chosen; and it faithful, they w)U bo rnombers of tho glorious Churcb boyond tha veil. It, as tho Bride of Ohrlst, will be hH companion and Queen during the, Mil- lennial roign of glory for tho blessing of tho world—for tho. blessing of tho non-elect, considered last Sunday. t St..Paul not only tolls, us of our need to bo thus immersed into mem- berahlp in tho Body of Ohrlst, but he proceeds to tell us ftoto that member- ship can bo brought about. The- words, \Baptism Into his death\ ex- plain tho matter, How strnngo that wo ovor thought these* words signified, water -Immersion! Onr eyes aro now opened! Plainly, now, wo sco thai \into his death\ signifies our partici- pation with, our Lord Jesus In suf- fering for righteousness. In self-de- nials, aelf.saeril!clngs of tho same character as those endured by tho Master. It is two indeed that the, whole world suffers pain, sorrow, dis- appointment, etc.; yet our Lord suf-. toted differently from all others., and our dying must correspond to his. He suffered, tho Just for tho unjust The holy, harmless; ufldaflled Ono laid; down his life sacrlficlally, voluntarlly.i Joyfully, And we, to sbaro In fats death, to be ''Bapmod IntS his death/' rr/nsrtdojhe iambi - I True, Jjisusf-wijls spotless/ while; woi nro members of tbo fallen! race. •; But wo nro Justified through lalth in hLi blood.

This standing is granted to us or lm- - puted to us for tho very purpose of permitting us to sacrifice our human, rights and earthly interests as he sac- rificed bis. The \elect/* are to be dead With him, that In the resurrection they may too with him and-bo like- him and share bis glory, honor and Immortality. By consecration we present our bodies living sacrifices holy and acceptable to God, as the Apostle declares. (Bomnns xll, 1). SBus wo are \Immersed into his death\ and thus wo become mem- ocr* of his Body, Whoever falls to be> thus immersed Into Christ's death will fail of the membership.

JOWcftS? » we remind them that all the Scripture they dlte in support of immersion for the remission of sins belonged to the jews, and none of it to Gentiles. Tho Jews 'were exhorted by John the Bap- tist, and others to renounce sin, to return to harmony with. Moses' Law; and to show this change ot character by water immersloni But those Bpho- sians who believed In Christ and whom Apollos baptized for tho remis- sion of sins did hot receive the holy Spirit. St. Paul explained fc them, that their baptism Was an imprdpei! one—that they as Gentiles \required nn Immersion Into Christ (Acts xlx, 1-7: Romans vi, 3)< Baptist Union Not 'Federation. As a week ago w6 suggested M Presbyterians, Congregatlonalists and Methodists a union of heart and head »s better than federation, so how; We suggest to tho aenominatlons»_Wnose doctrines we are considering today. What We shall suggest respecting bnp< flsm. will apply to all Christians. All Christians agree that Jesus and his apostles tdught*baptlsm and that there are but \one Lord, one faith and ono baptism\ (Ephesians Iv, 5). We can- not here elaborate, but merely suggest that nowhere In the Scriptures Is in- fant baptism coinmanded or urged. The expression, \Believe and be baptized,\ implies a mental development capable of belief beyond that which infants possess. The original pretext for' in- troduclne infant bai>Hsm wns set forth W» should by faith »«, lifted but ,or this condition of death with Adam, in order that by consecration of nil earth- ly intertsts wo might become dead with Christ Thus, we share with Mm his sacrificial death and, by partteirja? tlon In \his resurrection,\ also becosie sharers of his Kingdom glory. i Bidding ourselves, then, of the u'n- scriptural theory of an eternal torment awaiting the non-elect, may not all 'Christians, perceive tho reasonableness of tie Divine proposition to bless then) through the elect? As Jesus by his sacrifice wns made Hend of the Church, so all who-wlll be his membcrt) must share his spirit of self-sacrifice-; death to the world and earthly lnterj est. Oniy such may share with-hint In his Millennial Kingdom work of blessing, uplifting. Instructing, assist- ing nil of the non^elect, Many of the non-elect under the fuller light and better opportunities' of the Millennium Will turn from sin to righteousness, from death to life eternal. This \bap-i tism. info death\ with Its blessed re-i ward oicludes no dcnominntional lines., It includes in 'the Church of the oleot those of every denomination and of no denomination v/ho comply with its . conditions of faith and obedience and consecration unto death, Was not this our Lord's baptism as he deScriBed.it ? Just before his cru- clfljijon he said; \I have a baptism to be \baptized with, andiowl am strait- ened (troubled) until It be accom- pUshedf His baptism, dated from his /consecration a t Jordan, but it Was not fully \aocontpHssoi\ until on the cross ho cried, \It Is finished 1 '—his baptism Into death was finished, Was not this baptism Into.death what he referred to when speaking to his disciples? James and John requested that they might ell; on his right band and left hand,in the Kingdom. In reply Jesus said, \Are ye ablo to he baptlzorl with the baptfsrri Uiat fain, baptized with? 1 *' Surely he did not, refer'to a water im- mersion! Surely he did refer to his baptism into death, and meant his apostles to understand -that only by sharing; in his baptism, into death could they hope to sit with him hi his Thrbno (Markx 1 , 8*).
