I. That the practice of forbidding
I tree Dates to admiuister the sacra
menu to not scriptural. This is the
argument. Ia the Acta of the Apm

who had been appointed to atteiMl
only ta the temporal affair* of the
eh arch, are Acts rii: 1-7, went Into

Again, to Acts lx : 17-19, we find
that Ananias baptised Paul, and be
was only a disci pie of Damancn* and
never ordained
Alan to Acts x : 4, A we see that
Peter who preached to Cornelius
aad "bis kinsmen and near friends,*
did not administer baptism to them
bimaelf, but assigned the duty to tbe
brethren who came along—tbe lay-

baptised in the name of the Lord.*
Thane were never ordained by tbe
laying 00 of hands. .

by the "Form of Onhiiatmn.* If it
b# said that the Holy Spirit te

reply aad say tbe# before ordination
no one te qualified to preach. "For
