And John bore witness, saying, I saw the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it rested upon him. And I did not know him: but he that sent me baptising with water, he said to me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending as a dove, and resting upon him, that is he who baptiseth with the Holy Ghost. And I have seen it, and have borne testimony that this is the Son of God.
I am nothing but a Voice. And remember how, when John's disciples tried to light the infernal fires of jealousy in his quiet heart by saying, 'He whom thou didst baptise, and to whom thou didst give witness' He whom thou didst start on His career 'is baptising, poaching upon thy preserves, 'and all men come unto Him, the only answer that he gave was, 'The friend of the Bridegroom' who stands by in a quiet, dark corner 'rejoices greatly because of the Bridegroom's voice. Keep yourself out of sight, Christian teachers and preachers; put Christ in the front, and hide behind Him.
If they speak of particular precepts and prohibitions, then, by their rule, the baptising of young children, the taking of water for the element of baptism; a lecturer’s public reading of Scripture in the church upon the Sabbath day; the assembling of synods for putting order to the confusions of the church; the writing and publication of the decrees of the same; and sundry other things which the word hath commended unto us by examples,—should all be things indifferent, because there are not in the word of God either particular precepts for them, or particular prohibitions against them.
"The path is very muddy and slippery just there," said Emanuel. "Hadn't you better run home as quick as may be?" James suggested. "I can't," said Emanuel. "Why not?" "I've got no hat, and I'm all wet. And everybody in Oldcastle-road will see me. Can you lend me a hat and coat?" And all the while he was steadily baptising the gravel.
THE beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; as it is written in the prophets ; "Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, he shall prepare thy way before thee. The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths strait." John was baptising in the wilderness, and preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
Yesterday was a day of great joy. I had the happiness to desecrate the Gunga, by baptising the first Hindoo, viz. Krishna, and my son Felix: some circumstances turned up to delay the baptism of Gokool and the two women. Krishna's coming forward alone, however, gave us very great pleasure, and his joy at both ordinances was very great.
We conversed by the hour on knotty theological questions, he talking well and seeming at times half persuaded to be a Christian, but as if too proud to humble himself. The blessed saints made intercession for him, for our prayers were heard; and I had the great triumph of baptising and administering to him the blessed sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.
His ordinary employment was preaching to the Christians and Gentiles, instructing and baptising the catechumens, teaching children the Christian doctrine, visiting the prisoners and the sick, reconciling enemies, and doing other works of charity. While the saint was thus employed, there happened an affair, which much increased his reputation in all the Indies.
"I never heard that before," said Gusty. "'T is very beautiful." "I will tell you something else connected with it," said Edward. "After baptising the chief, St.
Others had pushed on to the Rocky Mountains, and to the huge wilderness of the north-west, preaching, bartering, cheating, baptising, swayed by many motives and holding only in common a courage which never faltered and a fertility of resource which took them in safety past every danger.
