"Baptism"
Matt. 28:19,-20; Acts 8:26-39.
The hcly rite of baptism is not well
understood by the masses of'Chris
Uiar.s, hence we welcome the lesson
?cn this sacrament, " of which" tlie
Protestant church observes only two,
whereas the Roman Catholic church
cbservc3 Eeven. (It may be of Interest
to scholars to know them. They are:
1 Baptism; 2 Confirmation; 3
Confession; 4 Eucharist; 5 Holy
Orders; 6 Matrimony; 7 Extreme
Unction).
A sacrament is a mystery, a symbol,
a typo. The Old Testament had its
"washings" (Lev. 11-15; Num. 10).
In later history cf the Jewish people,
this "washing" more and more ex
pressed the deeper idea of a real clean
sing cf the heart (Ps. 51:2, 7; Isa.
1:16; Jcr. 4:14, etc.) John's bap
tism combined the ritualistic wash
ing cf the Old Testament with the
necessity cf a truly repentant and a
thangad heart which was to mark
the new dispensation. In the baptism
of J ecus, we ere confronted by many
questions If the baptism of John de
r.iandcd repentance of the candidate
for bapticm, which symbolized remis
sion of sin, why did Christ, who had
no sin, deliberately determine to sub
mit himself to this rite? The question
aroe at once in the mind of the Bab
lkt. Jesus gave the answer "that it
becometh ur, to fulfill all righteous
ness." The true disciple does not
question God's crdcrs but obeys
them. So, likewise, did Jesur! "By
this baptism, he committed himnclf to
men and to the purposes cf God; con
sented at the beginning of hi3 public
ministry to God's method of saving
of men." (G. Campbell Morgan).
Thus, in baptism, we see Christ as
suming responsibility, for sinning men
by the anncinting of the Spirit, he
was crowned and empowered, and by
the divine voice he was attested God's
King ret upen the holy hill of Zion.
In the Great Commis3icn to the
eleven disciples c:i a mountain in
Galilee, standing on the resurrection
side of his grave, he declared himself
to be King by devine right, and there
fore absolute In hl3 Kingship. The
claim admit of no l!mit2tion. In that
jmoment he claimed authority in the
tnaterial, mental and moral realm.
Make disciples learners pupiU in
contrast to teachers, and then adher
ents, to be identified with a leader or
school and adopt a corresponding line
of conduct.
"The church has never been com
missioned to convert the world, but
to evangelize it; to create its spirit
of choice, to bring men everywhere
face to face with the King, that in his
presence men may crown or glorify
him." (G. Campbell Morgan).
the past term, last year made a trip
over the west for which she paid
$100. She has been asked to go on
the tour this summer and be paid for
her services. The tour starts from
Chicago and covers most of the west
and northwest and will consume
about thirty days.
Rev. J. L. Armold, pastor of the
Evangelical church, ha3 been guite
ill the past few weeks and has been
unable to conduct services at the
church. His condition was so grave
that he was taken to the hospital at
Omaha for a clinic, although no op
eration was performed. While he is
home, at this time he is not feeling
much improved as yet.

Lesson Study!
By L. Neitzel, llurdock. Neb.
Baptism follows belief; it is a pub
lic confession on the part of the one
baptized, of having accepted Christ
as a saviour from sin, and being iden
tified with Christ In 'hi? death," and
'symbolizing 'the "washing away of sin,
by which death came. In this case,
"the name" Implies all that belongs
to the manifestation of the true God
in . the Gospel, the titles, attributes
and works of creation, redemption and
sarjetification." (Philip Schaff).
Let us observe the encouragement
which is to persuade the Apostles to
undertake thi3 commission "I am
with you alway." No mere man would
have dared to utter these words the
devine Presence consciously with
them ever present while teaching
i and preaching.
Forms of baptism in the early
church W33 practiced in three ways:
(a) Immersion, plunging the whole
body under water; (b) Affusion, or
pouring water cn the head; (c) As
persion, or besprinkle on the face.
The baptism cf the. Tthiopean is a
very profitable study in (1) how to
spend our leisure time reading good
literature; (2) accepting advice from
a teacher, men of experience; (3) in
the change of viewpoint when the
"light shines in." Philip's teaching
touched on the rite of baptism, which
in this case was by immersion. The
converted man brought the gospel to
the dark continent Nubia or Aby
cinhia. It shows U3 God's wonderful
ways of guiding men that are sincere
in cocking first the Kingdom of God
they find.
The deeper meaning of baptism is
given us in Rom. 6:1-14, where it is
likened as identified with Christ in
his death. Where the "eld man" i3
burled like Christ in the grave, but
rises a "new man" like Christ, from
the. grave. He is a new creature In
Christ Je:;u3. Church membership
dcc3 net mean much, but a new crea
ture in Christ Jesus. Church mem
bership does not mean much, but a
now creature, a new life is the all-important
thing. How could a man who
was sincere in receiving baptism live
In sin? The thing is Impossible. The
very act cf faith by which we receive
Christ as the propitiation for sin, is
spiritually a death to sin. In this
world, two claimants are continually
seeking us God and Satan. It is for
man to choose his Master. He need3
all the wisdom God can Impart to
make the right choice.
"Once far from God and
deep in sin,
No light my heart could
. see ;
; But In God's word the light
I found.
. Now Christ liveth in me.
Oh! what a salvation this,
Christ liveth In me." -
POSTPONE SEASON OPENING
The opening of the kittenball sea
son in this city has been postponed
to a later date, altho it had been
planned to start the season the first
of this week. There are several mat
ters yet to be cared for before the
opening of the playing season.
The heavy rain, the first that has
fall since the fill was made at the
Athletic park, has caused several
places to settle and will make neces
sary ehe filling in of these places be
fore playing starts. There is also
the painting of the bleachers to be
cared for and which will require bet
ter weather conditions.
When the season is started the
opening week's schedule will be fol
lowed as was announced last week."
WILL INSTALL WATER PLANT
J. H. McMaken of this city has
received the contract for the in
stallation of a water plant at the
farm home of George Hanson, north
west of Nehawka. Mr. Hanson, Avho
has one of the most attractive farms
in that section of Cass county, will
have a large supply tank erected that
will be supplied from the wells lo
cated in the lowlands of his farm.
From the tank the water will be
piped into the house, barn and feed
lots to supply the needs of the farm
and the family. This addition to the
farm will make it one of the most
modern in the county.
BRING IN COYOTES
The office of County Clerk George
R. Sayles has received a fine collec
tion of coyotes in the past several
days, all largely of the puppy age.
In connection with the payment of
the bounty, the person bringing in
the animals is required to state that
he killed them and so It is far easier
to kill the coyotes where found and
bring in only the head or scalp as
this is all that is required.
