CO MMUNICATIONS. m Letter No. 10. ‘ To Mr. Thomas Hopkins, Superintendent QfSt. Peter's Sunday School, Veridam. DEAR Sin,â€" Some suppose that the expression, “ buried with him in baptism,” which oc- curs in Romans 6, 4, and Col. 2, 12, has an allusion to the mode of baptism by immer- sion. But to force this uncertain allusion, so far, is onlya wresting of scripture from its true meaning. If the mode of adminis- tration of baptism be an essential of the sacrament, and immersion the only mode. then would every one immersed be “ buried with Christ in baptism." But hypocrites and unbelievers, like Simon Magus, and Judas lscariot, though immersed one thou- sand times, would not be “buried with Christ ": and true Christians are by faith buried with Christ. though they be not im- mersed at all ; having “fellowship of his safer-fags,” and " being made conformal/1e im- to his den!h."â€"â€"l’hil. 3,10. “ We are bap- tized into the death of Christ,” and by bap- tism " put on Christ " ; but it doesn’t fol- low that there must be some external sign that would resemble either killing or clo- thing. The Gieek word, translated ‘-’ buried with Him ” (sunlhapto) will not bear the construction sometimes put upon it, name- ly, “ that. as Christ was buried in the (arm, so in a similar manner are we buried in water at our baptism. To this construction there are several grave objections. In the classic writers the same word is used to denote being buried in the same grow, as when Herodotus says. “ the wife is bun}! with the husband."â€"ller. 5. 5. To give. therefore, the phrase. -' buried with Him” the sense of“ buried in like mlmntr a: I]! was." when the modes of burial are unlike. is to change the meaning of the original. if . not to make nonsense. And besides, if this verse determines the mode of baptism. it should also determine the mode of the . resurrection. which no one pretends: ; 2.

The burial of Christ was not like that of our modern burials. as is assumed, when the body buried is t‘ot‘ernl with the earth in which it is buried. Christ’s body was simply laid away in a chamber of h a sepulcbre ” (Luke 23, 33). Now there is no analogy whatever between the act of laying away a body in ” a sepulchre,” and the act prhmgi'ny the person under water, as this interpretation supposes. 4. It was evident that it was not a physi- cal burial that was in the mind of the apos- tle, but. the death unto sin, which every true believer undergoes. If the apostle meant a physical burial, then baptism must of itself be a saving ordinance, that is, the mere act of receiving baptism would procure pardon of sin. For, if “ we are buried in water at baptism, in order that we may be raised to newness of life, then, such a burial, if it has its legiti- mate effect, must enable us to walk in new- ness oflif'c. If‘ such is not the case, then a physical burial must be considered, at least. doubtful. Iwill now examine the meaning of the phrases,“ they went down into the water,” and “ they came up out of the water,” as great stress is sometimes laid on them in order to prove that immersion is the apos- tolic mode of baptism. It satisfies the Eng- lish expression,“ to go into the water,” by merely stepping into the water. But our phrases, “ he is in the water,” or “ he has gone into the water,” do not, without some additional words, signify that the person so doing has been “ under the water.” When a person who steps into the water, steps out again, he ‘-' comes out of the water.” These are common everyday expressions, used alike by the learned and the unlcarnod. The phrase in Greek, “ they went down into the water,” does not mean that they went under the water. The Greek preposi- tion (eis) here used means into, but never under. If St. Luke had meant to say that the eunuch was immersed, (Acts 8, 38) he would have said that “ he went down under the water,” and not “ into the water.” If the eunuch was immersed, it Would appear from the narrative that Philip (the admin- istrator of the baptism on this occasion) was immersed also, for it is said that “both went down into the water, bath Philip and the eunuch. It is evident that where the eunuch was Philip was, and that what happened to the eunuch happened to Philip. Besides, katabai‘noâ€"t‘rom baina, to go or walk, and hata, “ down,”â€"implies that they walked down into the water,as a person would walk down into a brook, and that after having so walked into. the water, Philip baptized the eunuch, but whether by immersion or not is not said, but the prob- abilities are all against immersion, unless Philip immersed himself at the same time that be immersed the eunuch. Nor does the phrase, “ they came up out thhe water,” (ek tou udatosj mean that they came up from under the water. “ Ana- baiuo,” to come up, to ascend, is the opposite of katabaz'no, to go down, to descend, and can only mean an ascent from adescent previ- ously made. Though the word (ck) out o be used in Acts 8, 39, its place is supplied in Mail. 3, 16, in the account of the baptism of our Saviour, by the word “ apo,” which has the general meaning offrom, away/mm. The passage in Matt. 3, 16 might properly be translated : “ And Jesus, when He was baptized, straightway went up from the wa- ter ”; that is, He ascended from the place where He stood when He was baptized, which might have been either on the bank ofthe Jordan or on the edge of the river. . But in neither case does it furnish any ground to infer an immersion. And, in- decd,l have in my possession two pictorial representations of the baptism of the Sa- viour taken from ancient sculptures. I doi not offer them in proof of anything, farther than to Show that“ bapli'zo” has not always been regarded by the ancients as meaningl immersion. One of‘ these illustrates the | service ofSt. John the Baptist in a prayer book published in the year1754. It repre- sents the Saviour sitting on a rock in the edge of‘the Jordan, with His feet covered with water, and the Baptistsianding before Him with one foot partly in the “'illt'l‘ and l the other on dry ground, pouring water on His head from a shell, with a number ofi swering but for the editorial. he proceeds to answer at length; and leaves two or three paltry paragraphs at the bottom lll answer to the more important editorial! This is Mr. St. George’s style exactly. all through. or a phase of it. We perfectly agree with him, that he could easily \vriie four letters on any one of the three subâ€" jects in question ; and we presume to go farther and say that we have the greatest confidence in his ability to write any num- ber of letters on “nothing at all ” l l have a notion that the GovernonGenernl is not the only parrotâ€"head in the Dominion ; there are other parrots that echo and imi- tate and repeat one another‘s fanatical squawkings, and even their own, until they are deluded into the notion that there is some artful danger ahead to be panic-struck about. No man of sense, the very common- est of the common, would lose his reason- ing faculties so much as to call our Gover- nor-General parrot-like, and the represent- atives who upheld the Jesuit Estates Act unprincipled, because they saw fit to vote differently from himself. I believe those gentlemen to have acted conscientiously, according to the letter and spirit of the British constitution ; and the Governor» General to have acted accordingly. it appears likely, in my mind, that the :10- cision of the Imperial Law Oflice at London, England, is more likely to be true to the constitution of the empire than Mr. A. Q. St George, whose principles seem, in my mind, to resemble Mr. Mcli'eown’s Whirligig wind indicator rather than those of" a thoughtful and principled man. He ought to know that the Dominion Government did not sanction the Jesuit Estates Act without having first the direct opinion of the above authorities, expressing their approval of it as being perfectly constitutional. 'l‘lie Jesuits are something like the French lan- guage in this country, they can do little harm, except to scare hare-brained political screech-owls, whose protoslantism is so strong-set in their souls that at times they do not scruple, after taking high degrees in the Orange order, to join the Mormons, and then to assail with the greatest venom and bitterness the origin of the Church of Engâ€" land, which they mnst know was dcfcnili'd by the great William, Prince of Orange, with the English nation at his back. If it is the policy of the Equal Rights ASSOt‘ln- tion to check and kill out the French Can- adians and their language, they should alter their name to “ Rough on Rats,” or- “ French Language Exterminatorâ€"war- ranted to destroy and spare not," or some such unsophisticated name ; for assuredly such seems to be the aim indicated in Mr. Armour’s speech and Mr. St. George’s let- ter, although I give the former gentleman credit for putting it very mildly. If we try to lessen the number of them in any way because of the danger of their outnumber- iug us at the polls. We are most assuredly taking unto ourselves “ special privileges" in doing so. and not allowing them “ equal rights ” with ourselves; and as the new order is called “ Equal Rights to All and Special Privileges to None,” it should be their policy to champion the cause of the weak. as well as the strong I It is needless to say who are the weaker ; we all know British troops garrison Quebec; “'|' n .l know who owns the Dominion of Canada; we all know what a. great majorin the lritish and other nationalities are in the Dominion. in comparison with the li‘rnnrh. Knowing this, what have we to fear, that we shonld propagule such an absurd tin."- trine or flat trot-ism, when we have the whip hand of them in almost every way? I don't wonder at Mercier, the champion of the Jesuits and French Canadians. echoing ,aud trumpeting the same cry in the “will ofliis and their enemies of equal rights to all and special privileges to none, when they, being the weaker, have the most reason to do so. Just after expressing his fear that the French would soon outstrip the British at the polls, Mr. St. George says that the German language is spoken by just as many people as the French. pre- sumably in Canada: if so it strengthens my position without putting any argument against me; for if the Germans im- at‘ numerous as the French in Canada, what fear is there,l ask. that the French will outstrip the. other nationalities at the pnll< '.’ perinns looking on.
