Fenelon Falls, October lst, 1889. A Feathered Messenger. In a garden of Berlin a canary bird was found bearing on its neck a small note. The address was unusualâ€"“ An den lieben Gott ” (To the good Lord.) The finder broke the seal, and found a sincere message, in accordance with the direction. It was written by a lady, an inmate of a private lunatic asylum. The unfortunateone, pleading forre- lief from her and situation, asked a speedy death. She complained that the misrule and self’will ofa rude fe- male attendant was the cause of her suffering. All explanations to her re- latives were vain. because this attend- ant attributed her complainings toa diseased mind, and punished her for attempting to make known her situation. The benevolent individual who found the note determined to investigate the matter.

Letter No. 9. .._â€"A To Mr. Thomas Hopkins, Superintendent QfSt. Peter's Sunday School, l'vrulam. Dean Sm,â€" In my last letter I treated of the word“ bapto,” and of the way it is used in the Old Testament. I come now to deal with the word “ baptize,” which is derived from it, and is by some understood to mean immersion, and immersion only. In the story of the cure of the leprosy of Nantuan, recorded in the fifth chapter of the second book of Kings, baptize is used as synony- mous with “ lone,” to wash. In the story, the washing of Naaman in Jordan is ex- pressed four times. I. In the command “ Go and wash,(lono) in Jordan seven times, dzc.” 2nd, 1n Naaman’s refusal : “ Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Mayl not, wash (lono) in them 3rd, In his servant’s en- treaty : “ My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, woulds’t then not have done it? How much rather then when he saith to thee : “ Wash (lono) and be clean.” And 4th, In his actual obey- ing: “Then went be down, and dipped (baptize) himself seven times in Jordan, die.” And Naaman’s body does not seem to have been leprous all over, so that im- mersion would have been necessary. For what he had expected from the prophet, was that “ he will surely come out to me, and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, and strike his hand on the place, and recover the 1eper.”â€"â€"-2 Kings, 5, 8 to 15. There are two instances of the some use in the Apocrypha : “ He that washetlt (baptizo) himself after the touching of a dead body, if he touch it again,what avail- eth his washing (loutro).” And we find from the link chapter of Numbers that such a personâ€"one who has touched a dead bodyâ€"was to have the water of puri- fication sprinkled (baptize) on him on the third day, and on the seventh day.â€"-â€"Verses 13,19, 20, 21. Judith “went out in the night into the valley of Bethulia, and washed (baptizo) herself in a fountain of water by the camp.” Whether she did so by dipping, or the ordi- nary way of washing her hands, face and feet, it is not said. But the last is the most probable way, Seeing the water was afforded by a spring, in a public place “ by the camp,” and, as we learn from the 7th chapter, the springs were guarded with soldiers. ' Now let us turn to the New Testament and see how the word baptize IS used there. ‘- And when the Pharisee saw it, he mar- vellcd that He had not first washed (bap- tizo) before dinner.â€"Luke 11, 38. Now all that the Pharisee expected of our Lord was simply what he was in the habit of doing himself, namely, that He should have washed His hands before dinner. “ Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, Why walk not Thy disciples accord- ing to the tradition of the elders, but out bread with unwashen lmndc.”â€"â€"Mark 7, 5. “ The Pharisees and the Jews, except they wash hands (nipto) out not." “When they come from the market, except they wash (baptizo) they eat not.” Here we see that baptize is used synonymously with m’pto, which never signifies immersion, as is ad- mitted by all. Now hands may be washed either by dipping them in water or by pour- ing wot-r upon them. “ Here is Elisha, the son of Sllaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijahâ€"2 Kings, 3, 11. This mode of washing the hands, travellers tell us, is still in daity use among the Hindoos of India. St. Luke, twice in the Acts of the Apos- tles and once in his gospel, uses baptize with the word water in the dativa or in- strumental case, where the water can only be applied to the person, and not the per- son to the water. which destroys the very idea of immersion. “ John truly baptized with water (udati)."â€"â€"Acts l, 5, ll, 16; Luke 3, 16. Baptizo is used in connection with words that denote the effect of baptism in such a way as to preclude the idea of immersion. “ I have a baptism to be baptized wit/t.â€" Luke 12,50. “ Arc ye able to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with." â€".\tmt. 20, 22, 23; Mark 10, 38,39. For- sons are said to be baptized “ into Moses,” (1 Con, to, 2) ; and “ into Christ,” (Gal. 3, 27) ; and “ into repentance,” (Matt. 3, 11); and “ into death,” (Romans 6, 3). Now to read baptize as meaning to immerse in any of these cases would simply be absurd. It can only mean in these cases a eymbolical was/ting or purification. The only direct allusion made in the New Testament to the mode of baptism takes away the idea of immersion. Christ's promise to His disciples, shortly before His ascension, was that they“ should be bap- tized with the lloly Ghost, not many days hence.”â€"-Acts 1, And this promise was fulfilled in a remarkable manner on the day of Pentecost, and afterwards on the laying on of the bands of the apostles on them that believed. Ghost fell upon the Gcntilrsv 0' When lhe)‘ were “ baptized with the Holy Ghost," they of the circumcision were astonished bc- l cite. 7 Thus when the Holy, tickets sent to no Ottawa hotel-keeper authorities.

To the Editor qr‘tke Ftnelon Full: Gout“. DEAR Sta.â€" 1 see in last week's Gazette u letter ' signed “ Equal Rights." which, with you permission,l shall reply to. but if any' other exponent comes forward to ~ do so, 1 shall willingly give way. There is scat't-rly anythiugiu the letter referred to worth while wasting time over, and but for a remark you made in the editorial of the same paper, all of which together might give forth a wrong impression. I would leave “ Equal Rights " alone to propagate his plan for the disposal of the separate school question. There are but three ques- tions which “ Equal Rights ” in his letter speaks of, that come within the catalogue of the Equal Rights platform, viz, Jesuit Estates Act, French language and separate schools. I do not propose to begin to deal fully with any one of the three, as they, could be dealt with, as I could easily oc- cupy the space of four letters with any one of the subjects alone, and would then be doing it hardly the justice it required. To the first of these three Mr. Armour said that the Act of Endowment of the Jesuits having become law, there was no necessity but to merely give it a passing notice. This he did, saying all that was necessary about an Act which, thanks to a parrotâ€" like Governor-General and a body of un- principled representatives, had passed from under our control and become law. As to the second of these, the French lan- gnnge, there is no objection made to its being spoken by either those who have learned to use it in their native land, or attend schools at their own expense for that purpose; but what is objected to, and what the E. R. Association seek to remedy, is the bringing into use in our public schools and houses of legislation the French language, as has been done in the former places all along the eastern counties of Ontarioâ€"Prescott, Russell and Essex to witâ€"thereby encouraging a race of people who will soon enough, without this, and if some check is not put on them, outstrip the British people completely at the polls, and leave us subservient to a foreign dialect in: a country which ought to be an Englislr speaking colony. Is it right that their language should be selected as a privileged language above the German, which is spo- ken by just as many people, or above the Icelandic, or that of the aborigines, each- of which has a local status ? It is no in- justice surely then to ask that the French people of Ontario, Manitoba and the North- west Territories be placed on the same footing before the law on this point as other races and croeds. I understand that Cartier, in'order to protect their privileges, obtained an amendment to the B. N. Amer- ican Act depriving both the Manitobzv legislature and the Dominion parliament. of the powers of altering the Manitoba. constitution, though the older provinces. nre allowed to alter their constitutions ;. but why should his Acts of Parliament be- regarded as final in the face of the changed condition ofthings in Manitoba and other parts? To say that the French language- will succumb in Canada before the irreâ€" sistible English in time as did the Gaelic. the Irish and the Welsh, is the height of nonsense, and only shows what little knowledge “ Equal Rights ” has of the- history of our country. I have not space to here give, as I would like, full particuâ€" lars of the inroads the French race have made westward, but if the writer of that. article will refer to the Mail of Aug. 28th and read the report of the commission ap- pointed hy Mr. Rose to enquire into the French schools in this province, and thou read the Mail correspondence from their own reporters of about three months pre. viously on this same subject, he will have a very different idea when through. The space in myfirrl letter, Mr. Editor, is about, taken up, and before closing allow me to call your attention to the remark you made about the number attending Mr. Armour‘s meeting. The day meeting was fairly well attended, and had at it a representative from nearly every part. of the riding. You say that at the evening meeting Dickson‘s hall was fairly well filled. Now what is. really the fact concerning the numbers at night. The ball was crowded to such an extent that many had to stand. ln proof of this: if you remember, soon after Mr. Armour had commenced to speak,l invit-«l‘ s0mc ladies and gentlemen who were stand- ing at the back end of the hall, for want of seats, to come forward to a few spare seats 1 in the front, which they did. No organizers» tton was formed, owing only to the lateness of the hour. Yours truly, A. Q. Sr. Gannon. Fenelou Falls, Nov. 26th, 1880. Many of the new apartment houses being erected in London are fifteen sm- ries high. The air at that height is fresh and cool. and it is said to be like living in the country.
