Show THE SEVENTH DAY BAPTISTS. The Office of Deacon Raised to the Dignity of a Presbyterian Elder. Chicago, Oct. 30. The National council of the Seventh Day Baptists adjourned ad-journed last night. The report of the committee on policy was adopted. It makes a change in the method of ordaining or-daining new ministers whereby the individual in-dividual churches, as well as associations, associa-tions, have a voice. The office of deacon was raised to a dignity approaching ap-proaching that of the elders in the Presbyterian Pres-byterian church. |
