MORE TESTIMONY.

By M. S. Spicer

In “Doctrinal Catechism,” a Catholic work by Rev. Stephen Keenan, second American edition revised, pages 101–2, are the following questions and answers concerning the inconsistencies of Protestant teachings and practices:—

“Question. Have you any other proofs that they are not guided by the Scripture?”

“Answer. Yes; so many, that we cannot admit more than a mere specimen in this small work. They reject much that is clearly contained in the Scriptures, and profess more that is nowhere discoverable in that divine book.

“Ques. Give some examples of both.

“Ans. They should, if the Scriptures were their only rule, wash the feet of one another according to the command of Christ, (in 13th chapter of St. John); they should keep not the Sunday, but the Saturday, according to the commandment, ‘Remember thou keep holy the Sabbath day;’ for this commandment has not in Scripture been changed or abrogated. . . . They should not baptize infants, as there is no example in Scripture to justify such a practice.”
