Inâ€" deed it so happens that whenever the memâ€" ber for South Grey feels himself called upon to address the House, our contempoâ€" rary shows distinet symptoms of severe splenetic irritation ; but the disorder did not hitherto reach the height which it has done on the present occasion. The facts of the case are these: About the end of list month soms half dozen of the Sessionâ€" al Clerks of the House of Commons abâ€" sented themselves. Hor Majesty‘s Oppoâ€" sition determined to lose no opportunity of having a fling at the Government, brought the matter up in the House. Mr. Langeâ€" vin, who, it appears, has not been over scrupulous in securing the services of subordinates at elections when he had the power to do so, introduced the subject, complainining very much that such evil practices shou!d be tolerated. It was statâ€" ed by members of the Opposition, and reâ€" iterated by our contomporary, that these clerks drew their pay while away from their posts. But this is not true, and upon this point we may quote the authorâ€" ity of the Speaker of the House, the Hon. Mr. Anglin, and the accoptance of his} statement by Sir John A. Macdonald.

"Angels and ministers of grace defend us!" 1 | The member for South Grey can mever hold up his head after that. What a magnificent period! What a scathing satire! Well, we shall leave that for the critics to _ determine. We submit that it is begging the question, and doing so in a dishonest way. It is an attempt to divert public attention from the real merits of the case, or what is vulâ€" garly called an attempt to throw dirt in other people‘s eyes. If Dr. Landerkin has said what is not true let it be shown. If he has interwoven falschoods with facts let che falsehoods be exposed and the facts of the case admitted. â€" But this our contemâ€" porary knows right well he cannot do. However, lest he should attempt the unwelcome task, we submit the following queries by way of introduction. How was the letter addressed to Archibald McInâ€" tyre delivered to Angus Melntyre, who| was present at the consultation held abobt the letter? ‘Who opened it? Who copâ€"| ied it? And lastly, how did the Chronicle deseend to "such a depth of degradation" | { â€"to use its own languageâ€"as to publish |â€" a letter obtained in sach a disreputable | way, and the publicestion of which couldl serve no good purposo whatever. 1 Mr. Landerkinâ€"Yes. He was a devotâ€" ed ‘Tory. (Hear, hear, and laughtor.) The next that was known of the letter it was being read on the hustings by his (Mr. Landerkin‘s) opponents, and immediately taereafter, though it was a perfectly proper letter, it was taken up by the whole Tory press from one end of the Dominion to the other, its contents made public, and the illegal and disreputable means by which it had been obtained, conmived at and enâ€" dorsed by the press. (Hear, hear) As { the hon. member for Charlevoix must have been aware of these cireumstances he was a little surprised to hear that gentleman talk toâ€"night about the interference of Govâ€" ernment officials in elcctions. _ (Hear, hear.)"

In a word, it is good for nowhing but to despatch men out of the world that are burdensome, an 1 to ranken churchyards,‘" &e. Cramp‘s Baptist History, Edition, ‘"‘There was a wonderfal outery against immersion. Take a specimen or two from Baxter:â€"‘That which is a plain breach of the sixth commandment, Thow shalt not kill, is no ordinance of God, but a most heinous sin. But the ordinary practice of baptizing over head, and in cold water, as necessary, is a plain breach of the sizth commandment : therefore it is no ordinance of God, but a hefmous sin. He does not say where in the numerous volumes of Richard Baxter‘s works this extract is to be found ; but it matters not. It is put into Cramp‘s Catechism to be disâ€" tributed among Baptists,and it is sufficient to know that the sainted Baxter is in favor of immersion. But would you believe, readâ€" or, that this very same Cramp in his Bapâ€" list History, p. 275, quotes this identical Baxter as saying :â€" Your readers, too, will remember the long array of pedoâ€"Baptist writers that were quoted in favour of the "dipping theâ€" ory." â€" This kind of work is quite a favorite game with our Baptist friends. They published little tracts for free distribution among "the faithful" that all the great men are in favor of their peculiar ideas. But in most of the cases quoted the exâ€" tracts are drawn away from their natural connection, or by the suppresion of a few words or a sentence the writer is made to say what he never intended, and in fact, what he did not at all believe. The Rev. J. Bethune, in his book on Baptism, has dore good service in exposing "Baptist Dishonesty" in the matter. Mr. Bethune gives the following two quotations taken from the works of Dr. Cramp, a great auâ€" thority among the Baptists. He quotes Bazter in favor of immersion. "Richard Baxter, Presbyterian, says:â€"‘In our bapâ€" ‘ tism we are dipped under the water, as signifying our covenant profession, that as he was buried for sin, so we are dead and buried tosin.‘" Cramp‘s Catechism on Bap tism, p. 43.

You will reâ€" 8 ) member the display of lexicons made by ~| the Professor. How when he read the 8| meaning of the Greek word Baptizo, he * | sneeringly asked "Where is your pouring $|and sprinkling now ?" He repeatedly + | declared that all the lexicons were in his * | favorâ€"that the universal meaning of the *| word Baptizo was to dip, to immerse, ‘| to overwhelm, "every time." _ Now ‘\we do not deny that in the Greck the °| word has these meanings, but we know ‘|that the word also means to wash, to t | sprinkle, to moisten, to wet. But doctors differ, Professor Torrance declares all ‘| the lexicographers are in his favor. But \ | Carson, the great champion of the immerâ€" ~| sionists, and a man of an imperial mind, says in his work on Baptism, p. 55: "My ‘ | position is that the Greck word Baptizo \|always signifies to dip, never expressing | anything but mode. Now, as I have all ‘| lexicographers and commentators against | me in this opinion, &ec." Who is right, ; | the Professor or Carson 2 We now give a | number of definitions taken without any suppression from the best distionaries of ; the Greck language, and from these we can see that Carson was right and we see, | too, that the Greek writers used this word | when it coull not possibly mean to imâ€" | merse. Schrevelius, a great master of the | Greck language, gives these definitions of baptizo : To immerse, to wash, to sprinâ€" |kle, to moisten, to wet." Scapula and | Hedericus give the same _ definitions. Schleusner, in his Lexicon of the New Testament, a work of the highest authoriâ€" ty, defines baptiso as follows : "1, To imâ€" merse in water; 2. To wash, or sprinkle, or cleanse with water; 8. To baptize; 4. pour out largely." Cole [gives these efinitions: "To baptize, to wash, to sprinkle." Passow defines it: "To imâ€" merse, to wash, to sprinkle." Suidas deâ€" fines it: "To immerse, to moisten, to sprinkle, to wash, to cleanss."

The learnâ€" ed Gases, a member of the Greek Church, whose Lexicon of Ancient Greck is generâ€" ally used by the modera Greeks, gives these definitions of baptizo: "To wet, to moisten, to wash, to draw water."

"In the Greek writers we read of ‘baptizing the grass with dew ;â€"‘ ‘bapâ€" tizing a garment with needlework;â€"bapâ€" tizing a wall with arrows;‘â€"‘baptizing the head with perfume;‘â€"baptizing the sea | with the blood of a mouse.‘ Plusareh,| writing on the education of childrux.‘ compares, by the Greek word for| baptize, his labors to these of a gardener|, sprinkling or pouring water on his plants. | j In these places, to baptize could not posâ€"| j sibly have meant to tmmerse."

Last week we showed the Bivle meanâ€" ing of the word Baptize. We poiuted out how God had made the thing visible. He poured down his spirit, He called it bap tism ; but it was not immersion. Although the word has a variety of meanings in clasâ€" sic Greek, yet when God shows us how he baptizes, is is always such words as sprinkle, pour, shed forth, receive, to fall on, He uses, which exeludes the idea of dipping or immersion. | forty yards high, and pitched to a distance ‘ of 150 yards.

Dou glass, who is about 19, had been in the emâ€" ploy of Willoughby, who recently identified himself with the "blue ribbon" temperance movement, and endeavoured to persuade Douglass to foliow his example.

Paxtc at a Faxoy Bazaar at Orrawa.â€" Whilst the children‘s bazaar was in proâ€" gress in the tennisâ€"court at Rideau Hall, Oitawa, on Thursday it was observed that there was a leakage of gas somewhere. A man was accordingly despatched in search of the detective pipe, which was supposed to be located immediately under the bazaar room. He carried a candle with him to light the way, and en approaching the pipe an explosion occurred, knocking him down, forcing up the hotâ€"air registrars, and setting fire to some drapery in the bazaar room. A number of ladies and gentlemen and children were in the room at the time, and the scene which tollowed was one of the utmost confusion. ‘There was a general rush for the windows and doors, and an inâ€" discriminate scattering of fancy articles. In a very few minutes, however, the fire apparatus were brcught into requisition, and the fiames were extinguished before any serious damage was done. ’ Moved by Mr. W. J.

Now, sir, I could easily fill columns showing the dishonest manner in which pedoâ€"Baptist authors are quoted in favor of immersion, and agrinst infant baptism. Such men as Luther, Calyyn, Wesley, Clarke, are made to de service in the Bapâ€" tist cause, notwithstanding all the worll knows that during their whole ministry they baptized by spriukling. Many of them wrote against immersion, and all practiced infant baptism. See Mr. Beâ€" thune‘s book. I trust the people will reâ€" ceive with caution the quotations which they find in Baptist publications purportâ€" ing to come from pedoâ€"Baptist writers on the subject of Baptism. C ‘ Very few of his readers, espocially of Baptists, will ever find out this misquotaâ€" tion, &c., for themselves, or see its exposâ€" ure. _ But having now been set in motion by him, it will no doubt be repeated in and from books of theirs for generations.

"You observe that those words in the heart of Dr. Cunningham‘s own statement, which I have put in small capitals, are enâ€" tirely omitted in Mr. Cameron‘s quotation ! Baptism is one of the two sacraments, and infants being incapable of faith, as such are not believers. To say that "the sacraâ€" ments are intended only for believers," would therefore mean that baptism is inâ€" tended not for infants,â€"what Mr. Cameâ€" ron tries to make his readers believe ; and not tolose his aim he puts the words, "only for believers," in italics. Now, why did he leave out "so far as regards adults ?" The reader will discern. These words confine the statemenrt to adults." "It is impossible to deny that the genâ€" eral deseription which the Shorter Cateâ€" chism gives of a csacrament teaches, by & plain implication, that the sacraments are intended only for believers, while no Protestants,‘" &c. "Cunningham‘s own words:â€"‘It is imâ€" possible to deny that the gencral descripâ€" tion which the Shorter Catechism gives of a sacroment teaches, by plain implication, that the sacraments, so FAR AS REGARDS ApULTs, are intended only for believers; while no Protestants,‘" &e.
