It pays to deal honestly with Hu man soulk » ■. . , . • There is something deeper in re- 1 pontance than mere ordinance and fleshly acts. There are membefs in Florence, South Carolina who argue on the polnl of human ordinance, of dipping or immersion, and sprinkling while souls are slipping through theii* fin gers to hell.
