the happy and grateful recipient of
a check for 82500 to be devoted to
the installation of a natatorkim for
the association’s physical education-

been a long cherishttd dream of the
association but has been deferred
because of. lack of funds, which only
renders the generous gift more ac-

the donor his name may not be giv-

the association, directors and mem-
bers, to express through the columns
of the Southern Messenger their
most cordial thalcs and to pray
God's choicest blessing upon the giv-
er and those dear to him.

-Death ia swaiicwed up in vic-
O death, where Is thy vic-
tory? O death, where Is thy sting?”
Questlea—A friend of mine a
Jfeventh Day Adventist, says: (1)
Catholics are wrong in keeping the
first day of the week as the Sab-
bath Day. (2) Catholics do not bap-
tize according to the Hiblex,.
Answer—(1) Besides the Bible,
we Catholics have an Infallible au-
thority, appointed by Christ Himself,
nsimely the Church, to guide us in
what t?8 are to believe and do.
From Apostolic times the Church
has always observed Sunday as n
ddy of rest. It ia but fitting that
sbe should do so, as it wafi on the'
first day of the week that Our Lord
rose from the dead; and. it also
brings out most clearly that the
Jewish Law is abrogated or done
away with, and that the New Dis-
pensation or Law now governs us.
In the Acts of the Apostles, xx:7,
we read: A.nd on the first day when
we were assembled to break bread,
Paul discoursed with them. St. Ig-
natius speaks of Christians, as no
longer observing the Sabbath, but
’ j in the observance of
Lord’s day, on which also
rose again. St.
c-d7) speaks of
for
Holy Sacrifice. These Indications LJJCle,

of baptizing. It is true tnuc in rue;____„„„
early Church the common practice!'
was to immerse. Our Divine Saviour I Savior,
was, most probably, baptised in this
way. Matt. iii:lfi. St. Paul refers
to immersion when he speaks of
Baptism as a symbol of Christ's bur-
ial and resurrection (Rom. vi:4).
But by no means is it the only
method, ter the word Baptism itself
taken from the Greek, may mean al-
so a sprinkling or a pouring of
water. ■ Moreover, it eeoms very zi

water itr-Jarnsalein. Then, too,' the
Acts of the Apostles, x:47, 48 stated
that Cornelius and hfs household
were baptized in hie home, and a
little later ire find St. Paul bap-
tizing a keeper of the prison at Phil-
ippi (Acts xvi:33). Does it not seem
very improbable that in these cir-
cumstances Baptism was admiulster-
ec’ by immersion? The fact, also,
as we know from the writings of
the Fathers of the Church, that a
valid Baptism, was administered to
the sick and invalids unable to leave
their bede (known ais clinical Bap-
tism) shows that there must have
keen another valid manner of giving
it besides immersion. Finally, rea-
son tells us that the All-Wise Son
of Gad, who has made Baptism al
necessity ter salvation, would not
have determined 0. manner of ad-
ministering it which would be very
difficult and at times impossible
on account of various conditions, e.
g„ In the case of the sick and the '
dying, the extreme cold of certain ;
regions. 1
Though the Church recognises as ,
valid the three-fold method of pour-
ing the water, immersion or sprink-
ling, the present mode, as has been
the case from the fourteenth, cen-
tury, is by pouring water.
Brilliant Wedding at SA Mary's.
St. Mary’s Church iia this city was
the scene, last Tuesday morning, of
an ideally Catholic wedding cere-
mony when Mr. Edward H. Lange
and Miss Ethel Reynolds were unit-
ed in holy matrimony with all the
solemnity of the Church’s ritual.
The nuptial vows were exchanged at
the foot of the altar in the beauti-
fully adorned sanctuary amid the
perfume of Easter lilies and the ra-
diance of waxen tapers, and tn the
presence of an assemblage of rela-
tives and friends which filled the
spacious edifice.
Promptly at 8 o’rto.-k the bridal
party entered in stately procession,
to the strains of the Bridal March
from Lohengrin. The ushers, who
Mine first, were: Lawrence Brady,
Z. D, Bonner, Chas. Neumann. A.
G. Uhl and Arthur Merton; then;
came the matrons of honor. Mrs. 7„\
D Bonner, Mrs. Fred Tips and Mrs.
Arthur Morton; the bridesmaids,
Miss Helena Buss and Miss Agnes
Lange; and, finally, the bride escort-
ed by her, father, Mr. I,. F. Rey-
nolds. The bridegroom, with his
brother, Erwin Lange, -who acted as
best man, met his bride at the altar
railing and conducted her into the
sanctuary. Little Misses Vera Seng
