Infant Baptism

By Editor

Infant Baptism.—In the SIGNS of November 11, question No. 659, page 8, it was stated that it is impossible to trace the origin of infant baptism, that is in the church. Dr. A. H. Lewis, editor of the Evangel and Sabbath Outlook, of Plainfield, N. J., kindly writes us that it may be found in his book, "Paganism Surviving in Christianity," pp. 93, 109, etc. He says: "It was introduced by the pagans long before the Christian era. It came into Christianity in the third and succeeding centuries from paganism." We are grateful for this information.
