8 IS DEFENSE OF DNMERSION, Rev. Mr, Allen Writes in Support of His Change of Belief. IS OPPOSED TO SPRINKLING, WHY HE Seriptural and Apostalle Instances Cited in Benalf of His Positia VO W savidge on Work for th Women, O3AmA, dan, 2,—To the Editorof Tur Ber: In the papers of Decembor 25, 1801, appearcd a sermon by Kev. H. A. Crane in reply to my statement of reasons given Decembor 20 at the First Baptist church, Whother Mr. Crano showed mo the same degree of courtesy manifested in my address of the Sunday be- fore, I leave others to judge, In ono point, however, I desire to sot myself right. When 1 sala that I had a conscience to satisfy in performing the ordinance of baptism, and that 1f my brothren had not they must answer to God for 1t, 1 meant simply that T felt 1t my duty to baptize by immersion, and that if my brethren felt otherwise tho ro sponsibility was their own. I trust, there- fore, that no uncharitableness will be in- ferred from my words, Mr. Crane’s sermon scems to call foran answer, | have already disclaimed any desire for controversy. Ior thetruth's sake, howevor, lot me say that while our scholars admit, with all others, that the word baptizo was sometimes used in classic figurative sonse, as when a drun aid to bo “baptized in wine” (wo might say “sonked in wine') none of them over for a moment entertained the idea that in the New Testament it might sometimes mean sprink ling or pouring. On the other hand, we have the testimony of a very large majovity of the most eminent scholars of all denomina- tions that the seriptural and apostolic mode of baptism was 1mmersion. Did space per- mit, I could give you quotations to this effect from over 300 of them, including the well known names of Luther and Calvin. I also ha%e at hand the authority of thirty-five lexicons to prove that the first aud p meaning of baptize is to immerse. In most of theso sprinkling and pouving are noj even given as allowable meanings. Authority for 1 Objections to this view may be raised. Without mentioning these in particalar, it may bo suficient to say that tho expression “divers baptisms” found in_Hobrows does not refer to difforent modos of baptizing, but as commentators ngree, und as every one knows who is familiar with the scriptures, to different or divers occasiol in which cleansing was required. But even so, tho Greek word used here to denote these wash- Ings is never used in the New Testament of the Christian rite of baptism When Paul, waiting on tho Israelites, says they wero all baptized unto Moses in the clold, and in tho sea, theve is no intimation that they were sprayed. The figure, as Meyer says, was an immersion and an emersion, the peoplo being completely en- veloped fn the cloud. Although there i3 a baptism of the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is also said to be poured out, yet thé baptism and the pouring Are 1o mentioned in tho same connection as being synonymous. When the baptism of the Holy Spirit is spolcen of, it is translated in our common version a baptism “with” the Holy Spirit, but in the murgin of the revisad version it is given “m" the Holy Spirit, and the Amer- lean committee recommend that the “in’ be Pub Into the text, and the “with” be vut into the margin, Tho Greek has the preposition en, meaning in. Some Baptism “There 15 no difieulty in supposing that the 8,000 cenverted at Peatecost were immerse for Jerusalem was abundantly supplied with pools.some of them more than an acre in extent and the number of thoso who received tho Hoty Spirit was 120, of whom 100 could oasily have been deputed to the work of baptizing. On the Baptist mission fleld of Valumpilly, in_the Madras presidency, India, in July, 7 wero baptizod in six_hours by six s, only two of whom ofticiated at one “Chio baptism of the cunuch took place not in adesert, but, as tho Grook shows, in an unin- babitod rogion. It was a rich pasture coun- T'ho soil at that day supported several ities, of which Gaza was ono. The map alestind shows numoerous streams in that region, emptying into the Mediterrancan. In Any case, tho nccount says that both Philip and the eunuch went down into the wator, and we must concludo thero was cnoug water thero for thom to go down into. ‘The baptism of Saul, and of the household of Cornclius, and of the juilor, so far as the naccounts given are concerned,may or may not huve beon in private houses. There is noth- ing in the vecord precluding the possiviliy of immersion. On the other hand, lot the words Ssprinkle,” “pour,”’ or “immerse,” bo insorted in the placo of bantize, wherover it urs in the New Testament, and it will be nd that the most appropriate, and, In many cases, the only possible sonse, is to jmmorso. With this ‘meaning, the context is nowhera ut confilet. Furtiermore, the slgmficanco of baptism as set forth by Curist, and by Paul, accords only with immersion. Words may change their moan- ing, but burial will remain aver tho same, and the Scriptures show that baptism s tended as a likeness of the burial and rosurrection of our Lord, and a token of the boliovor's death to sin, and resurrection to a now lito in Christ Jesus. All this can be symholized only by immorsion. Spriniling or pouring is wholly inadeauatoto express it. About the Little Ones, As for infant baptism there is little to be said, except that the passages ordinarily re- lied upon to prove it tond, so far as they have any bearing on the subject, to disprove it. Of the children who were brought to Jesus, one threo things was true, vi Either thoy were baptized before they ‘wore brought to Josus, or th ro baptized while with him, or' they were sent away un- baptized. o one thinks they were baptized before they were brought to Him, although wo are particularly told what was' done, and wo concludo that they wore sent away un- baptized. Jdesus said, *Suffer little children to como uuto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven,” II “of such” means of little chil- dren, then only hittle ehitdren will be saved. It vof such” means like little childron in some rospaots, no arguuent can be built up for infant vaptism. C. B. AuLey, O WOMEN, WORK 1ks About the Great De of Servant Girls, Last night at tho People's Charles W, Savidge had for a topic “What Can She Dot Taking one of Solomon's proverbs for a text, he sald;: 1 would not be one to take away any rights from woman, but if she can fail into God's lines for her sho will be tho best off for two worlds, 1 believe many women of today are making a gres & mistake’ instoad of doing what God tended they should, they are tuking up work that belongs to their brothers und ave suffering thareby.

To the Editorof Tie Bree: In your 1ssue of the 30th ult., under the cap- tion of “undependent Contractor Squires,” “Ho ignoros the city altogether 1a his street sweeplng arrangoments,” 18 produced tho council proceedings of tho evening provious, and among othor matters is quoted the re- marks made by several gentlemen of the council and tho chairman of the Board of Public Works, charging me with neglect of duty, violation of my sweopinz contract and running the city. I am also charged with bong directly responsible for the deplorable condition of the streets of this city for the past six wecks> The opinion provails, and many are of the belief, that my contract requires me to keep the strects of the city clean, wheroas I am to sweep and cloan when and whore ordered 50 to do, a8 the following provision in the i y viz: 10 work to be done consists in sweeping and cloaning the paved streots and alleys ia the mauner hereinaftor provided. The Board of Public Works reserves the right, how- to determine the particular streets and to be cleaned, also to determine the pumber of times any streot or alley shall bo cleaned.” Under the foregoing provision the board last spring gave mo u schedule of streots to sweep--somo twice, others weekly and vory muny once and twice mouthly. This work was performed to the satisfaction of the eity engineer aud Board of Works and was only discontinued Novemter 16 last when freezing and incloment weather renaered street cleaning oy machinery utterly im- possible, "T'his condition of mattors was reported to the board at the time and was duly and fully discussed, but it was understood that we could not proceed uuloss the Iire and Police board would instruct the police to pormit sweeping without sprinkling, That this and other matters, such as graders violating the ordinance prohibiting the spill- ing of dirt along the paved streets, might bo lucidly presented to the Kireand Polico board, Major Furay was aelegated to present the case and in 8o doing he suggosted that the streets wero rendered odious and im- passable because of 10036 wogon beds on weadiog wagons, This foul asporsion was spurned and the major was sot upon and cast out. 5o heartily did the board puncture the mujor’s body with both feet thut he quite forgot the sprinkling part of his mission, and to this day I have not been officially notitied of the success or failure of his visit aithough six weeks have elapsetl, My sweeping contract provides for two ‘classes, which might be termed summer and winter work. The summer work is done hy schedule, and continues until “freezing and inclement” weather sets in. Tho winter cleaning is provided for in the contract as follows, viz.: During freezinzand inelement woather the gutters of such paved streets as may be specified by suid board:shall be kept” free from snow and 1ce: also, nfter a fall of snow, whenever deemed necessury by suid Lourd, the snow shall bo removed from the rond wiy of any puved streot which may bo designated; and o during the oxistence of this cont he contruotor shall bo required to manual lbor in- cleaning tho streots as may be direoted by tho ard of Public Works, 1n all seasons of the For the performance of such work ntractor will be pald an adyanco of 10 per centum_over ind above the netual cost, rating lnbor ut 8L50 por day: horse, curt and driyor ut 8250 per (ay: palr of horses, wagon and driver at #1.95: two-horse Scrapor with driver, $; four-forse seraper with driver, por day. Hence it will be readily seon that the sum mer schedule was continued until November 10, when iuclement and freezing weather sotin, and such boiug the case it was the duty of the vboard, if the streets required cleaning, to order the work done under the so-called ten per cont clause, Streets cavrying the trafiic that Douglas, Harney, l4th,"15th and 16th do canuot bo made to present a respectable appoarance with two cleanings weekly. The cost of cleaning for tho year just closed is less than $10,000, while St. Paul expended during 1800 for streot cloaning servico $110,000. The principal streets of tho more met- ropolitun citios are cleaned nightly, and in this way only can good service bo obtained. Tho board has abundant means at its com- mand and should have given the \wumu. who pa7 tho taxes und create the fund, the rolief they sought. The attempt beon made by those in di- rect authority wud others, to compel me to sh in two sweepin okly, that which is obtained in Cuicago, St. Paul, St. Louis aud other cities iu six sweepings weekly. Notwithstanaing the fuct that I have been most_vigorously and viciously kicked by a very large portion of the city administration for the past pighteen months, | maintain that I bave fully and to the satisfaction of all fuir minded and honorable men, who understand the terms of my contract, performed my work well. T havo been charged with arr gance, insubordination, violation of contruct, neglect of duty sud dishonest practices. | have been made to father all the sius and omissions of those who violate city ordin- ances, by avd with the consont of the city ofticials, 1.{ grading contractors, garbage gatherors, building contractors, otc. 1n conclusion, I desire to iuform the public that my countract of $15 per mile is the chieapest work of its character in the United States, and the reason that the streets of this city have boen neglected is simply because 1 cannot work a sammer schedule and revolv- iug sweopers on ice-bound streets during the winter months; and tho further faoct that amplo relief can be had if the board will issue tue order as provided 1n the contract.

Sensational Story Told by the Two Deputy Sheriffs Who Had Him in Oharge, BALLOU INSTIGATED THE CRIME, HE SAYS, Graves' Attorneys Deny ent Made a Confession—The Tale as Related by the Deputy Sherlfs—Closely Watched in (he Jail, Dexven, Colo, Jun. 8.—Deputy Sherift George Means and Doputy Sheriff James K. Wilson, who conveyed Dr. Graves from the court house to his coll, state that on the way he confessea to tuom that Danfel R. Ballou was the instigator of the crimo, The threo men left the court house immediatoly after the doctor was given in charge and waiked across Glonarm street to the Colfax avenue bridge, which they crossed, and went down Colfax avonue to the jail. They stopped ata saloon to permit the doctor to drink u glass of whisky, as ho was wou Messrs. Means and Wilson were found last night by a News roporter, and consented to tell the facts about the alleged confession. Weak and Trembling, “When we left the court house,” sald Mr Wilson, “Graves took my arm. I asked him if he wished to drive over and he said he preferred to walk. He was weak and trembled a great deal. Means fell a little behind us,” “I wanted to wateh him,” interjected Mr. Means. y “As we went along,” continued Mr. Wilson, *the doctor bogan to speak of the case, and asked what I thought of his chances 'in an appeal {0 the supromo court. I told him that I did not think his chance was of much account. I added that I thought the best thing he could du was to make a clean breast of (ho whole thing and he might chance Lo receive executive clemency. “He said: ‘Ballon has brought me to the gallows. 1 kinow I am going to my death place.’ “1 said: *What do v, “Ho said: ‘Ballou was worso than T am, worse than 1 am, Mr. Wilsoo; twice & bad.’ He said thit be had sent the bott[ of poison, but that Ballon had instigated tho whole affair, Graves Tells th “I turned around to Means and I said you hear what this mau says, George? Dr. Craves stopped and _turned around, spread- 10g out his arms, and told the wnole thing over again.” A reporter called upon Dr. Giraves in his cell. He was told that he was alleged to have made a confession. He refused to deny that he had done so, putting it this way: “I have nothing more o say, until I sce Judge Fur- man." It is stated that Messrs, Macon and F\ man used every effort to prevent Ballou from coming to Denver, us they feared he would prejudice the case. Dr. Graves in- sisted that ho shonld come. Muvs. Graves, the mother, and Mrs. Graves, the wife, were completely prostrated when the verdict was told them, In the Vallejo hotel are the two stricken women, the wife and mother of the prisoner. They were not present in court last night, There was a premonition in the air that the sceno would be painful, so thoy stayed away. They learned the news soon enough, Denied by Judge Furman, Tonight Judge Furmau emphatically de- nied for Dr. Graves that the latter had mado he above confeasion to the deputy sheriffs, Dr. Graves re'used to say anything about the matter excepting that he is entirely inno- cent and desires to be left undisturbed in his cell at the joil. Celonel Ballou has not been seen here to- day, and it1s said that he disappeaved from public sight a short time after the verdict wus returned last night. When Dr. Graves was searched at the jail last night before being put in his cell three or four small vials were found on his person. They contained a colorless fluid, which the doctor said was entirely harmless, This fn- cident led to u story that Dr. Graves had attempted to commit suicide. This is denied by his keepers. He is confined ina cell made of open ironwork, and the guard on duty can seo every move he makes. A con- stant guard is kept over him. Judge Furman says he will do all in his power to procure anothet triai for the doctor. 'he judee claims thav the doctor is a poor man, and that had he had enough money to procure the necessary witnesses the verdiot would have been different.
