To the Pastore and Officers of Baptist Church: Realizing our need of a deeper consecration to God, greater interest in His cause everywhere, and with a sincere yearning for the help of our whole brotherhood, in prayer and offering, for our work and workers in Africa, South America and the isles of the seas, and for all who have gone to "regions beyond," we call upon all of you to join in making the fifth Sunday, March 31st, a special day of prayer for a spiritual and financial uprising of our churches on the first Sunday, the 7th day of April, for the support of our foreign mission work. Let us all offer special prayers that— First—The preaching of the great commission, our King's matching orders, shall find speedy and ready response, and that the prayer "Thy kingdom come," be fulfilled in all lands to all peoples. Second—That a large number of our talented young men and women be impressed, inspired and led to dedicate their lives to the great cause for which Jesus died. Third—That officers, teachers and scholars of the Sunday schools possess the spirit of missions, realizing the fact that million of children live who have never seen a Bible or learned of the Saviour. Fourth-That Baptists everywhere know that the sacrifice of love is the heart of missions, and that all should give of their money liberally and cheerfully to save the people who have not had one chance. Fifth-That the blessings of God attend the printed pages, inspire the songs and recitations and addresses sent in great numbers throughout the land, on the coming Sunday, to the end that the people shall know-for to know is to do when the heart is right. May the God who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ help all of you to do as you would be done by in this all-important task committed to us all. Hoping to have good reports from your churches and Sunday schools, we are, yours in the love of the Gospel. C. H. PARRISH, Chairman. JNO. H. FRANK, Rec. Sec. I. G. JORDAN, Cor. Sec. 726 W. Walnut St., Louisville, Ky. "CRELD VS. CHRISTIANITY." An Article Written by Jasper Keene of Bidford, La., Answering One Rev. Barclay. As to the preceding articles, I have not read them. I confess I have not taken much to the Plamdealer since a certain article written by me did not please the overseers of the Baptist convention—not the Plamdealer or the law, but if it had been left to them the article would have set things right. Mr. Jasper Keene seems to be against both creeds and religion. He seems to have neither. Anyone that believes in neither cannot say of a truth that the one is in opposition to the other. Only the person that is a strict observer of the one or the other can see where the essential lines blend or obliterate the other. Astronomers or astrophysists can see the diverging current air lines. Theologians only can see the contrast between sound theology and sane theorizing. The theorist can't see. To the theorist, theology is theorizing. Matrialsism and spiritualism in any form are the same, whereas there are several forms of spiritualism. "These things are spiritually discerned." Think of the carnal minded and the knavish. Think of the courteous and the greedy, and the sloven and the slothful. Who is Jasper, anyway? And what creed has he, if any? For argument's sake, let him write his creed. Is it Mohammedan, Confuscianism, Buddhism, Brahmak, Wesleyanism, Congregationalism, Prosbytorianism, Campbellism or Seventh Day Adventism, or Baptist. I venture it is all, and neither. Respectfully. J. R. RICHARDSON. LLWOOD, KAN. Editor Plaindale; After reading the interesting article from Mr. Kenee of Bodford, la, drawn out by an article in your paper The gentleman says I force members into the church without a chance to repent, then baptize them—infants. Now we are aware of the fact that the Jewish children were initiated into the church at 8 days of age. Jesus said: "Of such is the kingdom of God." Now, infants are fit subjects for heaven. Why not for the church? Jesus said: "Feed my lambs." He told the Jews the church, the kingdom of God, should be taken from them and given to a nation bringing forth fruit thereof Matt. 21, 33-37. His kingdom had infants in it then. They were circumcised at eight days old. The old church or vineyard was not dug up and a new one planted, but simply transferred to other husbandmen. The same church or kingdom taken from the chief priest, scribes and elders, who crucified the son of God, turned over to the apostle on the day of Pentecost three thousand and were added to that church and extended to the Gentiles. God, himself, organized this church and it had children in it. God made an everlasting covenant to Abraham and his children. Confirmed of God through Christ 430 years before the ceremonial law was given, baptism had been used in connection with circumcision for centuries. As the church was now to be no longer local, but aggressive, proselyting all nations, baptizing in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Now, as infants were included then who can exclude them now from the church? Train them up in the fear of the Lord. When was this law repealed? Paul called baptism the circumcision of Christ and they was performed in infancy. Christ, John and all entered the church at eight days old. Now, brother, if you want to do away with infant baptism you must show divine authority for doing so. When Jesus set the little child in their midst he then publicly recognized infant baptism by saving of such is the kingdom of God, thus leaving an example for us. The sheep and lambs are in the same fold. What is baptism? I will answer you. Baptism is the intimation into the church by pouring, sprinkling and incursion and is a sign and seal of that spiritual covenant to which a fortune circumcision had stood thus related. As a sign, it represents the poured out and cleansing influence of the Holy Ghost, which constitutes the great promise of the Christian dispensation. As a seal it is on God's part a visible assurance of his faithfulness to his covenant stipulations on in part, a pledge by which we make ourselves parties to the covenant, promising to fulfill its conditions and claiming our right of inheritance in its truth, mercies and hope. I be baptised with water and be baptised with the Holy Ghost in them; Matt 4: 11, 1 Cor. 2: 23 Psalm 77:17; Lacusus 11: 21 As you read to Romans 6: 1, being but future no reference to water in that chapter. Have got in Christ in by tith. Read Col 2: 12, than to like 1. 74 7. John's ministry continued about twelve months and he battles were performed in the first six months of his ministry. I from that time Jesus began to preach and John's influence declined. Now of all the people that came to John were baptized by him, it could not have been by question. In the wake of Jordan as many as 200 person in one day, 1000 in a week, or 20 000 in a year is impossible. If instead of teaching the people he had stood in water for ten hours a day he could not have immersed during the few months of his ministry more than a few hours and persons. Josephus estimates the number of persons in Jerusalem, at the passover, 270,000. If we take one third (900,000) as being inhabitants of Jerusalem and the vicinity of Jordan. If we suppose that one third of these might be designated as the whole population, we would have 300,000 who were baptized by John. Such a task could not have been accomplished in less than ten years at it every day. John's baptism was not a christian baptism. He never baptised in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, but unto repentance. I hope we will meet some time, al so would like for you and I to make arrangements with the Editor for space so we can exchange our thoughts on this matter. What say you? Not wishing to use so much valuable space in the good old Plaindale I stop for this time. Yours, T. B. J. BARCLAY. (By Simeon Oliver Clayton, Parsons, Kansas.) Sometimes the healing requires a greater wound, the cure a greater illness. No institution of earth can make slavery sweet nor thread its weird lamentations with a chord of melody. Peace, power and purity are the noble triumvirate that are born of same legislation. Through the medium of oratory we can say nothing that will cause a flower to drop one petal, or change the hue of an autumn leaf. Facts are stubborn things; always have been, always will be. Accept some worthy offering of life and if your choice is not in harmony with your calling you will soon discover your error. Do not stand all the day lily waiting. At the parting of the ways where all begin the pursuit of their respective callings there stands an Infinite Director. Trust Him. When we consider with what sincerity existing conditions are demanding race men and women of ability, it is appalling to note the zeal and zest so many of us employ in counting worthless pastimes and any nothings. We have only to stop and listen a moment to hear the discordant notes that come from everywhere. Unless we give more consideration to the vital affairs of life, some day, not far distant, our wailings shall be: "Thou has come with thy sickle, but what shalt thou reap? All my days have been given to idle and sleep, 'mid the thorn and the thistle I wander and weep. Thou hast come with thy sickle, but what shalt thou reap? 'Thou hast come for the rental, but what shall I pay? Every penny I've earned has been trifled away. Now my heart's filled with anguish by night and by day. Thou hast come for thy rental, but what shall I pay?" As a restless bird quits its cage and flies apace into broader realms, so does the spirit leave its frail tenement of clay and wing its flight into a more spacious domain that is free of all physical boundary lines. "Uncle" Dan Williams, an old soldier, the first train porter on the M. K. & T. out of Parsons, a former city policeman, died at Parsons Thursday afternoon, the 21st inst. It was a sad death. In a community where he had lived some forty years and where life had profited him fruitful opportunities, he died homeless, penniless, friendless and alone. Friends when the two on three persons with willing hands and hearts came to him with measured charity are compared with the considerable number of "friends" who, in his better days, shared freely of his prosperity. In those days "Uncle" Dan, kind hearted and obliging counted his truthful by the score. He never lauded, until too late, that friends desert us when our money is gone. Dozens during his last moments of life he looked into empty space for the familiar face of some of those friends, but alas, where were they? Let us hope that on he closed his eyes in death he saw the smiling face of Jesus, the friend that sticketh closer than a brother. HORTON. Rey J W Parks of Alabama preached Sunday and also Monday night and Tuesday night at the Second Baptist church. There were three members taken in during the meetings. We were well pleased with the pastor and hope he may return again when in this part of the state The Willing Workers' club met with Mrs. Roxa Brooks last Friday. Mr. W. M. Gindy is on the sick list with a very severe case of la grippe. We hope for his speedy recovery. Mr. Eddie Thomas of Powhattan visited Horton Tuesday. Mrs. Sarah Chorns is on the sick list. Mr. Buck Huntington left Horton Monday for Coffeyville. ARKANSAS CITY, KAN. We have just closed a revival meeting, under the divine influence of God, which was a success. There has not been such a revival for many years, though the former ministers have labored faithfully. Through the blessing of God and the assistance of Rev. I. W. Edward, a man of great power with God, for two weeks and Rev. J. S. Payne, P. L., for one week, the Lord blessed than efforts and six souls were happily converted and we have six more at the altar. Owing to the cold, stormy weather we were compelled to close for the present. The Lord is, to be glorified for reclaiming backsliders, stirring up the lukewarm and benefiting the community generally.

Charles Curtis's re- turn to the United States Senate. They do not take kindly to the candi- dacy of Gov, Stubbs for United States Senator, and are very out- spoken the matter.
