A New Work.

By James White

Thoughts on Baptism, being an examination of Christian Baptism, its action, subject and relations; also a brief consideration of the historical evidences for Trine Immersion, by Elder J. H. Waggoner.

The following is the table of contents:— Chapter I. What is Baptism? Washing and Baptizing.—Chapter II. Dip and Sprinkle in the Old Testament.—Chapter III. Baptism of the Spirit. Scripture Illustrations. Instances of Baptism.—Chapter IV. One Baptism or Three Baptisms.—Chapter V. Non-Baptism of Friends or Quakers.—Chapter VI. Baptism of John. Baptism of Christ. Baptism in the Name of Christ.—Chapter VII. The Commission still in Force. Baptism is not Circumcision.—Chapter VIII. Subjects of Baptism.—Chapter IX. Subjects of Baptism—Continued.—Chapter X. The Order of Baptism.—Chapter XI. The Remission of Sin. When Granted.—Chapter XII. "A Saving Ordinance."—Chapter XIII. Introduction to History and Trine Immersion. Theodoret. Sozomen.—Chapter XIV. Justin Martyr. Clement. Turtullian. Mr. Reeves. Apostolical Canons. Munnulus.—Chapter XV. Ennomius. Weight of Historical Quotations. The Greek Church.—Chapter XVI. Baptism in the First Centuries.—Chapter XVII. Reasons for Three Immersions. The Consequences.

The thoughtful observer will see by the foregoing table of contents that Elder W. has given the public in the brief space of one hundred and ninety-two pages, a very thorough work on the subject of Baptism. The full value of his effort, however, can only be realized by the Bible student after giving it a careful reading. It should have a wide circulation. Price, post paid, 25 cts. J. W.
