Baptism Once More.
Ed. Joubsal: Trusting in the well
known liberality of your widely-read pa
per, I beg for a little space for a short
reply to Mr. Galley's article on Baptism.
I am very glad to see that that gentle
man agrees with me regarding subjects
and mode of the ordinance, but cannot
see how he can ascribe to it any saving
efficacy. We are saved by faith alone and
not by any works, even if these consist in
perfect, obedience to an express command
of God. "By grace you have been sav
ed." Eph. II. 5. "But, if it is by grace
it is no more of works: otherwise grace
is no more grace." Rom. II. C Human
nature is far more inclined to the cove
nant of works, and continually asks:
"What must I do to be saved?" The
scripture answers, not do this or that,
but it says: "Believe in the Lord Jesu3
Christ and be saved."
I would not say one word against scrip
tural baptism, for an ordinance that is
mentioned or touched upon about 120
times in the Now Testament, must surely
be of great importance, but to ascribe to
it saving power is to detract from the glo
ry of the only Saviour, our Lord Jesus
Christ. When he speaks of being born
of water and of the spirit, water signifies
the purifying influence of God's word,
and the spirit is the new, divine life given
to men in regeneration. John XV. 3,
Eph. V. 2027 Again: Baptism for the
remission (Acts IL 3S), for tho washing
away of sins (Acts XXII. 1G) does not
actually cleanse and puriry the soul, of
sin, because nothing can do that except
ing the blood of Jesus, I John I 7, but it
typifies outwardly the inward remission
and purification from sin, and as the first
act of obedience of the believer proves
his faith in, and love to, his Saviour.
Thus as a first fruit or faith and a seal of
covenant, as a burial of the old and a res
urrection of the new man. as a washing
off of ihe tilth of the flesh, ns a public
confession and a stepping out from the
world and an entering into the church it
is of great importance. Wilful disobedi
ence may cause the loss or one's soul as
Mr. Galley rightly indicates, while no
doubt many, being misled by false teach
ers, may get to heaven without it. But
if they don't miss heaven, they no doubt
loose the blessedness of obedience here,
for "Blessed are they that, keep his com
mandeuts." I cheerfully accord a happy
fying effect (so to speak) to the ordinance,
if not a saving. This scribe signed his
first article and therefore signs this one
"A Wom to the Wise."

Colorado Springs, Col., May 14.

height, and 144 feet front, with a depth
of forty feet. It has three towers with
balconies extending along both sides

cal union their joint check for $10,000.
It has since been added to every year
by the printers.
WILLIAM ASTOR BURIED.
Simple funeral Services Held in Trinity
Chapel.
New York, May 14. Simplicity of

The tlrentest of All.
Aa circut day approaches interest in the com
ing exhibition or tho Great Lemen Hros. Shows,
which will exhibit here May 23 increases, and
the excitement in J'otinn and old American cir
cles expands, Tho reiiortK ol tho bis bhow'a
success this year have lx?en so Reneral, and tho
leading features have produced so great a sensa
tion el--ehere, that public interest has been
a rouse. I ton greater extent than usual, and tho
big show is certain to coin money. It must al
vaHl;a source of satisfaction to an audience
when it feels it is getting an equivalent for its
money, but when tho features both in tho me
nagerie and ring are out of the established
"rut" of tho nverago circus, and develops into a
series of surprising novelties, any one of which
would constitute v. "feature" strong enough ito
draw the public, an audience must become en
thusiastic in its pleasures. This seems to be the
effect wherever the Lemen Bros, have been this
season, and that no doubt will lie tho effect here.
Among the new features tin; most prominent will
lie Rajah, tho largest elephant that walks tho
earth. The free exhibition on the show grounds
after tho parade is said to bo tho best ever given.

We want every mother to know that
croup can be prevented. True croup
never appears without a warning. The
first symptom is hoarseness; then the
child appears to hare tasen a cold or a
cold may have accompanied the hoarse
ness from the start. After thut a pe
culiar rough cough is developed, which
is followed by the croup. The time to
act is when the child first becomes
hoarse; a few doses of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy will prevent the attack.
Even after a rough cough has appeared
the disease may be prevented by using
this remedy as directed. It has never
been known to fail. 25 cent, 50 cent
