PASTOR EXPLAINS BAPTIST POSITION CHURCH ORDINANCE Rev. H. A. Ackland Says Im- mersion Only Mode Taught by the New Testament AT CALVARY BAPTIST Would Present Infants to Lord But Would Omit "Sprinkling" as Un- scriptural At Calvary Baptist Church, Atnol street west, last night, the pastor, Rev. H, A. Ackland, B.Th., discuss- ed the historic Baptist position with reference to 'the ordinance of Baptism, The speaker claimed that the Baptist practice of immersion corresponded exactly to the teach- ing of the New Testament and the practice of the early Christian church. The ordinance as practic- ed by Baptists, also symbolized in a beautiful way the death of the candidate to sin and his resurrec- tion to a new life. This did not mean, however, that there was any saving efficacy 'in the ordinance and the pastor readily admitted that there were many people who had been through the waters of baptism who did not personally know the Lord. This condition, however, was not a proper one, as the New Testament required pes sonal repentance and faith as a pre-requisite to baptism. Infant Baptism Dealing with the question of in- fant baptism or infant 'sprinkl- ing," as Rev. Mr. Ackland preferr- ed to call it, the preacher claimed that there was no warrant for this practice in New Testament teach- ings and he said this was generally acknowledged, even by those who practiced it. "No apology for in- fant sprinkling supposedly based on scripture truths can possibly stand," he said. He described it as an in- stitution of the church in post- apostolic days, which arose in the third century at a time when the | whole fabric was built up on the doctrine of baptismal regeneration, which has since been completely discarded. 'Had there been no doctrine of baptismal regeneration there would have been no doctrine of infant baptism," he said. The best that could he said for the prac- tice is that the New Testament does not expressly forbid it, he added. Present Children to Lord Rev. Mr. Ackland was duite frank in admitting that Baptists lose a great deal by not publicly presenting their children to the it and that the ordinance was wrong Church to pray for them "but why introduce a rite that is not Scrip- tural," he asked. Passages of Scripture were intro- duced to show that only those who believed were entitled to be bap- tized. 'It is begging the question to say the parents believe for the child," he said, and strongly advis- ed leaving the child with God ana against invading the 'divine pre- rogative." Other points brought out by the speaker were that the ordinance was useless to infants who were un- able to comprehend the meaning of it and thatthe ordinance was wrong in itself and its ultimate results were evil. It was a rite of human institution but claiming to be a divinely appointed ordinance. "In vain do they worship, me teaching for doctrines the commandments of men," he quoted. He constrast= ed the compulsory act of sprinkl- ing infants with the voluntary act of a redeemed soul going through the waters of believers' baptisin. The speaker feared that infani baptism might result in the chila later on relying upon a false bass for salvation. New Testament Teaching "If anything is clear, it is evi- dent that New Testament baptism is the immersion of the believer and no modern Greek lexicon gives any other meaning than to dip or im- merse," said the speaker. Continu- ing, he said that "no New Testa- ment scholar in Oshawa would risk his reputation by arguing that the New Testament teaches that bap- tism means to sprinkle or pour." The Greek Church which might be presumed to have retained the orig- inal meaning of the Greek word. continue the practice of immersion to this day, and other denomina- tions working in Greece found it practically necessary to adopt the same form. The pastor closed his address tors and nurses of the Hospital during her recent illness, (94a) with an apneal tot he unconverted, whether baptized or unbaptized, CITY AND DISTRICT NEWS | NOVELTY ENTERTAINMENT A novelty entertainment featur- ing the "Tuxedo Twins" is being presented on Thursday evening of this week in Rotary Hall in aid of various charities in the city.

OFRING SHOWING NEW GHEVROLET At Ontario Motor Sales, Simcoe Street South, All This Week All this week at Ontario Motor | Sales, Simcoe street south, there is a special spring showing of the new Chevrolet Sixes, and residents of Oshawa and district are given a very cordial invitation to visit this display and see the wonderful productions that are being offered this year in the Chevrolet line. Not only is there a most a'tractive sel- ection of Fisher bodies, but there is a six cylinder engine under every hood that places the Chev- rolet in a class by itself, although it remains in the four cylinder class so far as price is concerned. Mr. J. Norval Willson and his efficient staff will be glad to wel- come visitors and show them the full line of cars. This, of course, will place visitors under no obli- gation whatever. A very unfortunate error occur- red in Saturday's Times in connec- tion wi h Spring Showing adver- tisement of the new Chevrolet Six. Due to a mistake in the mechan- ical department of the paper the name of Moffatt Motor Sales Lim- ited appeared belcw this adver- tisement instead of the name of Ontario Motor Sales Limited. In case some readers might have concluded that a change had occurred in Chevrolet dealers in Oshawa, The Times hastens to make this correction and at the same time to express our sincere regrets to both companies for the mistake. NO NEW GASES OF MYSTERY DISEASE Emergency Restrictions To Prevent Spread Are Still in Force Melbourne, April 22. -- No new cases of the mystery malady have been reported to Ekfrid township health authorities over the week- end and it is believed that string- ent vaccination and precautionary | methods taken have done their work well toward checking and stamping out the disease. Emergency restrictions to pre- vent the spread of the disease are still being strictly: enforced. Dr. R. D. Dewar, medical officer of health for the township; Dr. A. L, McKay, provincial epidemiologist of To- ronto and Dr. T. J. McNally, district health inspector, are not relaxing their efforts to trace down the source of the infection. Sinclair, whose mother and sis- ter were both taken by the dread disease, is being attended by Dr, John McGregor, who is bringing to bear every measure known to science to combat the infection. Streptococcus * haemolyticus 1s not a rarity, officals say, except in its very virulent form, as was the infection which claimed the lives of the four Ekfrid residents. Three members of a Lambeth family died of the discase within a week dur- ing the past winter, one physician engaged on the case declared, Oth- | er numerous cases of minor nature have been discovered in London from time to time but are simp- ly known as blood poisoning. No. harmful results will follow the cxhumation of Willie Brown's body at Melbourne, officials there said today. In order to lull a 1ear in the public mind, physicians s- sued a statement to the effect that every precaution was taken to pre- vent a spread of the germs when | the body was exhumed. The body has again been interred. Mrs. Gates, who suffered slight- ly from the infection, is improving rapidly... KILLED AT OROSSING Montreal, April 22 --B.

PIDGEON GIVES A CALL TO SFRVICE OFTHE COMMUNITY ed Church Speaks in Simcoe Church Is First Service of This Na- ture Ever Held in This Church A call to community service was made to the congregation of Simcoe Street United Church yesterday mor- ning by Rev. Dr. George C. Pidgeon, first moderator of the United Church of Canada, in his sermon following the first service of the ordination of elders ever held in this church. This ceremony was conducted by Rev. Dr. Pidgeon. The speaker wove his address around the experience of Israel re- corded in the first chapter of Hagai, where it was shown that, because the Jews had left unfinished the temple which they had started to build, and had spent their energies in efforts solely towards their own individual ends, neither the individual nor the community had prospered. The tem- ple was the symbol of community life in that period, and it was only by keeping the temple and its worship alive that the community or the in- dividuals comprising that community could - prosper, the speaker pointed out, Build Up the City "Whatever your city nceds, you must give, or every citizen will suf- fer," Rev. Dr. Pidgeon declared. "By building up the city's interests you advance your own, and you cannot advance your own interests in any other way," he said. The speaker continued by saying that it was not sufficient to make merely the contri- buting the law required, for the best in community life was upheld by vol- untary service, and that it was only men who made sacrifices for the common good that moved communi- ties or nations onward. The church was the one organiza- tion that existed solely to build up the life of the community, Rev. Dr. Pidgeon said, quoting the words of Roger Babson, onc of the outstand- ing business men of the United States, who said that the church was the backbone of society, and that with- out it our. civilization would "go to smash." Only by building up the church was it possible to build up the community and the nation, said the speaker, pointing out the stability that the church gave to any commun- ity and declaring that "the successiui business man who is not a member of the church and promoting the inter- ests of the church, is not doing his share to uphold that which makes for his own success, and has become a parasite on the community in that respect." The Elders The elders ordained by Rev. Dr. Pidgeon at this service were J. H. R. Luke, J. A. Wilson, O. M. Alger, A. F. Annis, J. C. Anderson, H. Brad- ley, J. W. Borsberry, A. B. Creigh- ton, E. Fleming, T, H. Fursey, B. J. Gay, S. F. Howard, R. N. Johns, Uriah Jones, A. McDonald, Wm. Paul, Frank Palmer, E. O. Phillips, Dr. Richardson, R. Snowden, S. J. Tay- lor, Jos. White and C. W.

ROTARTANS HEAR. J. WALKER TALK | ON BOYS' WORK STRESSES IMPORTANCE OF TRAINING IN AD- OLESCENT PERIOD Danforth Boys' Harmonica Band Provides Music at Meeting Today The necessity of carrying on and intensifying work among boys was stressed by James Walker, director of Boys' Work in the Danforth | avenue Y.M.CA. in Toronto, in an address to the Rotary Club of Osh- awa at its noon luncheon today. We are "putting the cart before the horse" in dealing with our social problems, Mr. Walker said. In On- tario, five millions of dollars were be- ing spent on research of mining arcas--hardly anything for research in boys work. Chicago was planning to build a new $5,000,000 jail; and in Canada money was being appropria- ted for all kinds of purposes--breed- ing the best cattle, hogs and chick- ens, building police forces and in- dustrial schools, and yet almost nothing on the important task of making men. "No city can depend entirely on its police and its courts for its moral fibre. Justice cannot be created by force, nor do many laws create mor- ality," he declared. A man's most important duty, said Mr. 'Walker, was to 'surround his children or un- fortunate children in his community with: the highest environment, for, no matter what the child's heredity might have made him, he could be made a fine citizen if the proper environment were brought to bear. It was impossible to over-estimate the value of training along physical and moral lines between the ages of 10 and 21, for it was the things a boy learned in this adolescent period that would stick with him through- out his whole life, Mr. Walker de- clared. Even though boys were sub- ject to many evil influences, yet dur- ing the adolescent period he was most responsible to a good environ- ment, and the proper kind of boys' work was almost sure of success. The speaker paid a high tribute to the work being done by the church through the Sunday school and its boys' organizations. He quoted the words of one supreme court judge who said that out of 4,000 boys that had faced: him ,only three had been members of a Sunday school class at the time that their crimes had been "committed. Those that could not be reached by the church came un- der the scope of the Y.M.C.A, Boy Scouts, and the service clubs, and there was here a great opportunity for men of the service clubs to at- tain a closer friendship with one of these boys and guide him .on a higher plane of life. The thanks of the Rotary club were extended to the speaker by Rotarians' Stewart Alger and Dr. T. W. G. McKay. Mr. Walker was in- troduced by Rotarian R. DD. Preston, who had' charge of the program for the day. The Danforth Boys' Har- monica Band, from Danforth Y:M. C.A, played several selections in a most impressive manner, and illus- trating that they were indeed deserv- ing of the honors they have won in being the champion harmonica band of Ontario and Canada. Rotarian Ross McKinnon was ten- dered the congratulations of the club by Rotarian Robert Henderson on having secured the first hole in one on the Oshawa golf' course this sea- son. ; AT PORT COLBORNE (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Port Colborne, April 22.--That the grain jam here would continue for at least a week was the pros- pect today, the sole alleviation of- fered the congestion over the week end being in the arrival of six Canadian Steamship company's canallers and the promised arrival today and Tuesday of 11 more, Tug Caught in Ice Sault Ste.
