The littie book, of which this is a preface, was written because it is needed. I have frequently been asked by members of the church for a book on the mode of baptism, setting forth our views on that subject. And inasmuch as our church has no work on the mode of baptism sufficiently comprehensive, and yet not too large, I have written this to fill the vacancy. A great many Cumberland Presbyterians have heard immersion preached so much, and with such an air of triumph, without anything on the other side, that they have come to the conclusion that pouring or sprinkling are used only as a matter of expediency. They are told in the pulpit, and out of it, that haptizo means nothing but dip or immerse, and your educated men know it. Our preachers have always been too busy preaching the gospel to spend much time in delivering lectures on the mode of baptism. The written page is what we need on this subject. I know of no book in our church or out of it, in which the mode of baptism is as thoroughly discussed, in a small compass, as 1have done in this. I have aimed to use the right words, and as few of them as possible, so as to present the facts and arguments at command in a clfear and distinct light. The reader can form but little conception of the labor and time spent in collating and arranging the facts as he sees them. Bowling Green, Ky.
