Bertha and Her Baptism

CHAPTER Ninth
2/27

A., B., and C., nor Messrs.

R., S., and T., had had any previous concert or comparison of views on this interesting subject; but they found themselves thus arrayed on different sides of the question.
Omitting the sermon that gave occasion to the discussion which follows, a few lines only will put us in possession of the whole subject.

I give the opening paragraph: "It is held by all who practise infant baptism, that the children of believers have a peculiar relation to the church.

That relation is very generally expressed by the word membership.

We have treatises, by the most orthodox divines, on the church-membership of the children of believers; which children they freely call members of the Christian church; and, in catechisms and confessions of faith, the church of Christ is declared to consist of such as are in covenant relations with God, and their offspring." The sermon being finished, Mr.R.was first called upon by the chairman, Mr.C., for his remarks.
