SERMON ON BAPTISM
BY REV. L. H. RICHARDSON.
Reviewed by Rav. C. C. Cline.
„ -
(CONTINUED FROM JUNE 10.)
THE FIRST CASE OF SPRINKLING ON
RECORD.
12. Eusebius tbe father of church
history says, “The first instance on
ecclesiastical record, of pouring or
sprinkling, is that of Novation in the
year 257. He, Novation, fell into a
greivous distemper, and it being sup
posed that he would die immediately,
he received baptism, being besprink
led with water on the bed where he
lay, if that can be termed baptism.”
THE FIRST LAW FOR SPRINKLING.
13. Edinburg Encyclopedia, ar
ticle on baptism, “The first law* for
sprinkling was obtained in the follow
ing manner: Pope Stephen II. being
driven from Rome by Adolphus, King
rtf T rt«i kon/ltr in florl f Dani n u'bo
a short time before had usurped the
crown of France. While he remained
there the monks of Cressy in Brit
any, consulted him whether in case of
necessity, baptism poured on the head
of the infant would be lawful. Stephen
replied that it would, yet pouring and
sprinkling was not allowed except in
cases of necessity.
It was not till the year 1311 that the
legislature in a council held at Ra
venna, declared immersion or sprink
ling to be indifferent. In Scotland
however, sprinkling was never prac
ticed in ordinary cases till after the
Reformation, about the middle of the
16th century. From Scotland, it made
its way into England, in the reign of
Elizabeth, but was not authorized in
the’ Established 'church. Sprinkling
was authorized by the Pope of Rome
and not by Jesus, the Christ. I will
let a quotation from Prof. L. L. Law,
a congregationalist close the argument
of history. He says:
“As to the question of fact, the
testimony is a-mphs*and decisive. No
matter of church history is clearer.
The evidence is all one way and all
church historians of any repute agree
in accepting it. It is a point on which
ancient, medieval and modern his
torians alike, Catholic, Protestant,
Lutheran and Calvinist have no con
troversy. And the simple reason for
this unanimity is that the statements
of the early fathers are so clear, and
the light shed upon their statements
from the early customs of the church
is so conclusive that no historian who
cares for his reputation would dare
to deny it, and no historian who is
worthy of the name would wish to do
so.”
Not unless he had had an oppor
tunity to associate with such scholars
as the Rev. L. H. Richardson, I will
take the liberty of suggesting.
IV. SPRINKLING AND DIPPING IN THE
BIBLE.
I have decided to condense into a
small section of my review a few ar
guments based upon the use of the
words in question, which any reader
of English can readily read and un
derstand.
2. JeBus had before him in com
mon use, certain Greek words with
very definite meanings, all connected
with the element of water, from
which to make his selection of a word
to express what use he wanted made
of water in his church or kingdom.
He had (1) raino, or rantidzo, to
sprinkle; (2) cheo, or epicheo, or
proscheo, to pour, to pour upon; (3)
nipto, to wash any part of the body;
(4) lono, to wash the whole body; (5)
pluno, to wash the clothes, and (6)
bapto, or baptidzo, to dip, to plunge,
to immerse. These are the words at
his|command. He chooses to use the
latter—he and his apostles—12(1 times.
Is it not beyond our power to explain
why he did not use the word for
“sprinkle” or “pour” once, if he
wanted “sprinkling” or “pouring”
done.
2. “Sprinkle” and “dip” have no
word in common, nor “pour” and
“dip,” so that in the Greek language
there is not a single word Jesus could
have selected had he wanted to have
combined either the ideas of “sprink
ling” and “dipping” or “pouring” and
“dipping”, much less could he have
found a word combining all three of
these ideas. He was therefore com
pelled to have used more than the one
word bapto or baptidzo that he did
use, had be wished to embody the
ideas of “sprinkling” and “pouring”
but he did not use the words that
meant to sprinkle a single time, and
therefore the Saviour does not want
these ideas practiced upon the people.
3. About 280 B. C., seventy learned
Greek speaking Jews translated the
Old Testament from Hebrew into
Greek. In the seventeen places
where we have “dip” or “plunge” in
our English bible, these learned Jews
use the word baptiso and baptidzo.
In the 66 places where “sprinkling”
is found, these same Jews use 16 dif
ferent Greek words but fail to use
bapto or baptidzo a single time as one
of these 16 words.
(TO BE CONTINUED.)
BRIDAL PARTY ENTERTAINED.
The bridal party of the Wilmans
Phillips wedding, which takes place
Wednesday evening, and a few other
invited friends were entertained
Tuesday evening at an elaborate and
elegant six o’clock dinner, given by
Mrs. Mildred Dorsey in honor of her
brother, Mr. R. Dorsey Wilmans.
The hostess is gifted with rare en
tertaining powers and her hospitality
upon this occasion was so refreshing,
that the carefully planned dinner was
most heartily enjoyed by the invited.
While every detail had been looked
after with closest care, there was
none of the stiffness of formality to
restrain the party in their pleasure.
The dining room was a scene of
beauty; the handsome china and silver
service upon snowy linen was further
embellished by bowls of roses and
sweet peas.
The dinner served in four courses
consisted of salmon, tomatoes with
mayonaise dressing, cucumbers,
light rolls; fried chicken, rolls,
peas, olives; lemon ice, ice cream,
cake; coffee and macaroons.
Those present were Mr. J. E. W.il

CLARK DECLARED NOMINEE.
Governor Davis In Speech Before
Democratic State Convention An
nounces His Candidacy For
Senator—Full State Ticket
Nominated.
The lower floor of the Capital
theater was packed and jammed Tues
day noon when State Chairman Car
rol Armstrong called the Democratic
state convention to order, Rev. W.
E. Thompson offering the invocation.
Hon. T. H. Humphreys of Fayette
ville, was made temporary chairman.
Congressman T. C. McRae was per
manent chairman. Judge Hugh Corry
of Texarkana, was temporary and
permanent secretary.
By a vote of 420 to 72 the conven
tion declared Hon. James P. Clarke
the democratic nominee for United
States senator to succeed Senator
James K. Jones.
Governor Davis, in accepting a re
nomination for governor, declared
himself a candidate for the United
States senate to succeed Senator
James H. Berry in 1907.
A full state ticket was nominated
including Hon. B. B. Battle for asso
ciate justice of the supreme court,
who was nominated on the first ballot.
The convention adjourned at it)
o’clock Tuesday night, after adopting
a platform which recognizes the Kan
sas City platform until supplanted by
a subsequent democratic national con
vention. The platform also de
nounces' trusts and favors effective
legislation against them; favors tax
ation of franchises of corporations; a
new state capitol; a reform school;
enlargement of the railroad com
mission’s powers and protection of
laborers. It endorses the administra
tion of Governor Davis.
Hon. Carroll Armstrong was re
elected chairman of the democratic
state central committee and Hon.
Gray Carroll was re-elected secretary.
A resolution offered by S. D. Mar
tin ratifying and endorsing the action
of the primary election and declaring
James P. Clarke to be the choice of
the party to succeed James K. Jones,
though passed by an overwhelming
vote, brought on quite a fight.
Hon. S. D. Campbell of Jackson
county moved to lay the resolution on
the table. Immediately there was a
great hubbub. Mr. Campbell with
drew his motion and proceeded to
discuss the resolution. He argued
that nothing could be found in the call
for this convention calling upon this
body to act with reference to the vote
on United States Senator. Such ac
tion, he argued would bo unauthor
ized. Governor Clarke had carried a
a majority of the counties and all
were Clarke men now, but this con
vention had no authority to act in the
matter. Mr. Campbell was frequent
ly interupted by cheers for Clarke
and cries of “louder.”
Chairman McRae appealed to the
convention to give Mr. Campbell a
respectful hearing.
Mr. Campbell continued his re
marks amid difficulties.
After Governor Davis had Deen
nominated he was called on for a talk
and gave his opponents several hard
thrusts, closing with the following
declaration of his candidacy for Sena
tor:
“I here and now declare myself a
candidate for the United States senate
to succeed Hon. James H. Berry. I
prefer to have my trial before the
people of my native state, rathei than
before these canting hypocrites, and I
warn them now to do their worst,
select their best man, put upon him a
full armor, breast plate and helmet,
and let him meet me upon the public
hustings before the people of this
state, upon their native heath, and
there we will settle fully, finally and
forever the dirty, vile calumny that
has been hurled against me. Ah, my
fellow citizens, I have no private
character, it is all public, it is yours,
and when the proper time shall come
the books shall be opened and all
things shall be uncovered and made
known, and into your hands and
keeping I now entrust not only the
welfare and success of piy future ad
ministration, but of my future politi
cal aspiration as well, knowing that
you will deal with me kindly and
justly, as you have always done, if 1
! am right.”
