BEEKMAN "At the age of 79 I am still active in business and I attribute my en tire present good health, energy and vitality to the benefits I derived from Sargon. I actually believe this wonderful medicine has added years to my life. "For five years my health had been failing steadily. My nerves were all to pieces, and I hardly knew what a sound night's sleep meant. "Since taking the Sargon treat ment I feel as well and strong as I was 25 years ago. I have a fine appetite, sleep good, and constipa tion, biliousness and dizzy spells are all things of the past." David S. Beekman, 528 Kearney St., San Francisco, Calif. Sargon's aim is not mere tempo rary relief, but new and abundant health. Don't experiment profit by the experience of others. Patterson & Son, Druggists, local agents. (Adv.) NEW TESTAMENT BAPTISM. Since human ideas are so various on the question of baptism as on so many other questions it seems to be the logical thing to examine the scriptures to see what they say. This we will do at the morning service at the Church of Christ. Come with your New Testament! Our evening service will also be at home this week. The hour is 7 30. Also Bible school and C. E. at the usual hours. MILTON W. BOWER, Minister. THE HISTORY OF SPRINKLING. (Sermon preached at the Church of Christ Sunday morning, Murch 16. by the pastor.) Because those who advocate and practice sprinkling for baptism ei ther cannot or will not tell the orig in of that practice it remains for others to do so if the public is not to remain in ignorance. It is impossible in this discourse to give extensive proof that immer sion was the primitive practice and we will give only one definite quota tion in place of the many that might be given. Since there is no definite statement of any represent ative scholar to the contrary one should be enough. John Calvin then in his "Institutes says, "The word baptize signifies to immerse and it is certain that the rite of immer sion was practiced by the ancient church." The first use of a substitute known is described by Eusebius, called the father of church history. He tells of Novation (about 250 A. D.) whose life was despaired of. They poured quantities of water over him as he lay in bed and when he later recovered they decided that since he had done the best he could he was truly baptized. This practice, called clinic bap tism, apparently became rather common with the' passing of the. years. It never had any official sanction until 753 when Pope Ste phen II authorized sprinkling water on the heads of infants only in cases of necessity. The Council of Rav enna meeting in 1311 declared sprinkling and immersion to be in different. John Calvin seems mainly respon sible for the introduction of sprink ling to Protestantism. Though he left the Catholic church he said that "the church had a right to change the ordinance to suit her self retaining the substance; that is, the words." His follower John Knox introduced the innovation to Scotland and so it finally spread to England. Though the Church of England withdrew from the Roman church in 1534 and the Presbyterian start ed about 1541 and the Congregation al about the same time, none of these churches practiced sprinkling until 1643 after the Westminster Assembly voted for it and parlia ment the next year obligingly changed the law. These things give us in a brief way the background for the persent practice of sprink ling. The principal reason that appears for the chanp is that of conven ience. The Eiiinburg Encyc. says. "In Scotland and England this new doctrine was bitterly opposed by many leading divines, and the prim itive practice of immersion was stoutly contended for. Seeing how much more convenient it was (viz: sprinkling), the proud, persecuting and godless bishops set themselves to have it made the law of the land They preached it before parliament, insisting that 'the Devil of immer sion ought to be legislated out of the realm, it is so troublesome'." What, then, is the authority for the practice of sprinkling in the church today? In brief, the Pope of Rome, the Council of Ravenna and the British parliament are all the authority there is for this spur ious ordinance. If any are aware of these facts and still prefer to preach and practice sprinkling that is between them and their God.
