Considerably Mixed.

THE Christian Herald, Disciple, copies our notice of its profession to speak only when the Bible speaks, and in its reply says:—
"The Bible does speak of 'the first day of the week' and 'the Lord's day.'"
Yes, both these expressions are in the Bible, and they are only fifty chapters apart! Now can the Herald show that one has any relation to the other? The answer of the Herald is very slightly ingenious, and not at all ingenious. Suppose we try that method of proof, as follows: The Bible does say "I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and" "your children." Yet in the face of this plain Bible testimony the Herald denies that the sprinkling of water upon children is a Bible institution! Why will it be so inconsistent?
