Excerpt from Why Infants Are Baptized: An EssayIt must be frankly admitted that many who accept the practice assign reasons for it which tend rather to increase than allay the doubts of inquirers. There can be little question that whether from this cause or from the failure of adequate direct instruction there is a wide diversity of opinion as to the significance of the sacrament when administered to infants and consequently as to the relation of baptized children to the Church. That this should tend to neglect in practice is not strange, and a comparison of the number of such baptisms with the number of communicants, at least as reported in the statistics of the Presbyterian Church, seems to indicate that neglect is far from uncommon.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
