A Travesty on Religion

THE Christian Advocate of July 17 tells of a Japanese father and his American wife who desired the baptismal rite performed for their child, an infant. The minister to whom they applied did not believe in infant baptism, but invented a service for the occasion. Using the American flag and the Bible in the ceremony, he pledged the parents to teach the youngster patriotism and piety. Such things as this bring the religion of Jesus Christ and its sacred ordinances into disrepute.
