THIRD SERMON By Rev. T. F. Bowen, on "Re pent and Be Baptised." GIVEN SUNDAY EVENING AT ST. PAUL'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH. Baptism for The Remission of Sins." "Arise and be baptized, and wash away thy sins." Acts 22. How does God convey to repentent souls the gift of pardon and grace? I need not take time to show our need of these blessings. Our own hearts tell us that. The burden of sin is upon -us. People outside bible lands feel it, as well as those who have the" light of revelation. This is the start ing point of all religions the con sciouness of guilt and longing for de liverance. Neither need I show that we can be delivered from sin only by the grace of God. We all believe that "There is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved" but that of Jesus. The question is "How does God convey this grace to penitent souls? There are two answers, coming from Christ ians holding two different conceptions of Christianity known as the sacra mental and the non-sacramental . The former attaches a great deal of im portance to the sacraments, giving them first place as means of grace. The other attaches little or no import ance to them, and gives the first place to preaching and similar agencies. Ask a Christian worker representing any body of Christians holding the non-sacramental view of Christianity when a soul is broughtinto a state of salvation and he will reply, If I mis take not, it is when, under influence of a sermon or hymn or prayer or talk, it experiences conscious conver sion. Ask a Churchman holding the sacramental view the same qestion, and he will answer without hesita tion, "at its baptism." What spiritual warrant has he for so saying? We notice first that In the new testament Baptism and Salvation are so connected as to represent them as two parts of one transaction. The one, Baptism, is the outward and visi ble sign; the other, Salvation, is the Inward and spiritual grace. The soul then and there becomes a member of Christ spiritual society a citizen of His Kingdom, entitled to Us benefits just as a forelg'isr becomes by nat uralization an American citizen en titled to all the privileges of citizen ship. Let us study a few passages of scripture showing this. Here the preacher considered a number of scripture texts, among them the fol lowing: Acts 2:38, It was on the day of Pentacost. Peter was preaching the first Christ Ian sermon. He charged his hearers with having with wicked hands cruci fied the Redeemer. "When they heard this they were pricked to the heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of ; the Apostles, Men and brethren, what i shall we do? Then Peter said unto I them, "Repent and be baptized every i one of you In the name of Jesus Christ ' for the remission of sins, and ye shall i receive the gift of the Holy GhoBt." I Acts 22:16. Saul of Tarsus while I on his way to Damascus to persecute '. the Church was converted by a super-1 natural event. The risen Jesus called ! to him, saying, "Saul, Saul, why perse-1 cutest thou Me?" Saul became ai Christian believer from that moment. I Three days later Ananias, one of the! brethren, went to him to restore him to sight. After making known his ' mission he said to him, "And now why tarriest thou? Arise and be baptized and wash away thy sins." Here we see that though supernaturally con- verted It was still necessary for Saul to be baptized for the remission of sins. I In the New Testament it is taken ' for granted that those who have been baptized were at their baptism regen erated and brought into a shade of salvation. Even when they fell into sin, as many of them did, they were regarded as Christians who had received the grace of God. They are warned and exhorted not to receive that grace in vain. To repent and to live worthy of their profession, but never to become Christians. In the fact that they are regenerate the Apostle finds the most powerful motive to personal holiness. "What? Know ye not that ye are the temples of the Holy Ghost. Ye are not your own. for ye are bought with a price, therefore glorify God In your body and in your spirit which are God's." In no case do we find nubaptized persons addressed as regenerate, but whenever men enquire the way to par don the answer is the some, "Repent and be baptized." Neighborhood Favorite. Mrs. E. D.i Charles, of Harbor, Maine, speaking of Electric Bitters, says: "It is a neighborhood favorite hero with us." It deserves to be a favorite everywhere. It gives quick relief in dyspepsia, liver complaint, kidney derangement, malnutrition, nervousness, weakness and general debility.

This makes a column more on each page than you usually get in a county weekly or 12 columns, which !is equal to two extra pages when comparing with a six column paper. Then the extra length gives half a page extra. So, summing up, the County Weekly as a rule gives you Q pages each containing 6 columns. To get the comparative size of the COURIER you must add 64 pages which is lacking only a page and a half of being just double the size of the ordinary 8-page weekly.
