Preface Pursuant to the constant importunities of friends corroborated by conscientious convictions, I turn myself over to the Lord, permitting Him to use me for His glorification in the following elucidation of Christian baptism. We write not for theologians, but for the people. But as we have had so many debates on this subject, especially in Kentucky, let me here distinctly state, If any one desires to controvert this book, it will afford the author great pleasure to meet him at the time and place he may designate. As this book is not for the learned, but for the people, I shall not encumber it with dead languages, but give in English the substance of vast and variant lingual, critical and historical data, for which I am personally responsible. I shall freely and frequently advert to the valuable and compendious works of Drs. Ditzler and Chapman, in which hundreds of authors are faithfully quoted.
