An Item for Baptists.

DR. BUSHNELL on p. 157 of his work entitled, “Christian Nurture,” makes an effective thrust at Baptist inconsistency, which ought to startle them out of their traditionary Sunday-keeping, or at least arouse them to an examination of the grounds upon which it rests.

He says that although they reject ‘infant baptism,’ because there is no express command for it, yet, at the same time, ‘with little scruple,’ they ‘accept the Lord’s day, even against a specific command of the decalogue, and let the ancient Sabbath go, when it is only by the faintest, most equivocal, or evanescent indications, they can make out a shadow of authority for the change.’
