This day, in the kind providence of God, I hav© been permitted and enabled to dedicate my little offmrinf to ntftjove- nant God in Baptbm ; and for this I give thanks. O, what a privilege is' it ! I trust I have had communion with the Lord in this deed, if ever I had it* Kany encouragements have I felt, and no mJsf^vingf as to infant baptism in iU fidthful form. Tea, I praise God, for suoh "^r^ an ordinance* I know God's willingness to bless iniuata. I know that ^ he did of old receive them into His covenant by seal. I know als9 ,.■ that in^ts are capable of enjoying the blessings of the^venant of ** grace— that the want of faith m those who are incapabflm faith it Just as applicable to salvation as to baptbm, and therefore Amstitutet no argument against it. I believe tl^t the seal of the covenant will be just as valid to the child when it afterwards believes, at if .baptized when adult— that it is a great privilege to have it externally united with the church, and for a parent to say, "This, my child, has been solemnly and pubUdy given to God— it is federally hohr." 1 believe that the commission c^ Christ included' the children of believers, and that the apoetlios baptized such ; and I know that the holiest of men in all ages have had communion with their God ik this ordinance.
