The Watchman on Feet-Washing

The Watchman comes out upon the question of feet-washing, and says:— “Now, if The Independent will show us that the other kind of feet-washing is a plain teaching of the New Testament, we will promise that all our churches will practice it.” Such ignorance of the Scriptures on the part of a religious journal is really alarming. Read John 13: 14, 15: “If I, then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.” The duty is plain, and the Watchman boasts that “obedience to Christ is the fundamental Baptist principle.” Do the Baptists wash one another's feet?—N. Y. Independent.
