Enjoys Best Health
In 25 Years
fey uml
DAVID S. 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.

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. At
