The Sacrament of Baptism
by Rev. John Colquhoun, Glendale, Isle of Skye. To be had from the author, price 1s 6d. This is a booklet which extends to 40 medium-sized pages, printed in good clear type. The author’s main intention is to record in brief form, yet with sufficient matter and argument, answers to the questions: (1) Are we, as a Church right in baptizing by sprinkling? and (2) Are we right in baptizing infants? He has in view—to defend the doctrine and practice of the Free Presbyterian Church in particular, as wholly Scriptural, as over against the teaching and practice of our Strict Baptist friends, in regard to the issues involved in the aforesaid questions; inasmuch as they baptize by immersion and deny the right of infants to be baptized. Mr. Colquhoun deals with the crucial points of his subject in separate chapters, and cites the Scriptures, the Ancient Fathers, the Confession of Faith, and eminent divines, such as Calvin, to sustain the views that it is right to baptize by sprinkling and to baptize infants. The closing chapters on Neglect of the Sacrament of Baptism, and Receiving the Privilege Unworthily, are outstandingly suitable and applicable to the present-day attitude to baptism on the part of many who despise and treat lightly the privileges of the visible Church of Christ. We recommend our readers who are interested in this subject, and especially parents and young people, to purchase and read this booklet.
Convent Life Unveiled
by Edith O’Gorman. The 37th edition at the low price of 2s 6d.
This book, written by herself, is absolutely true and entirely reliable. The facts are stated with singleness of objective which carries conviction, painfully but sincerely. When one thinks of the poor fools who join the Church of Rome from the Protestant Churches for the sake of marriage, we are inclined to think that ignorance is the root cause of the landslide! It is therefore of the utmost importance that young and old should be constantly instructed and warned as to their awful danger in going into the lap of the “whore of Rome.”
This book is to be had from The Protestant Truth Society, 184 Fleet Street, London, E.C.4.—J. M.
