ASKED AND ANSWERED.
BY 0. B. W. DOBBS, D.D.
I wish to ask you one other ques
tion: Is ft not sinful to keep on pray
ing to the Ix>rd for the same thing?
Does he not say that we should not
use vain repetitions in prayer? Can
you explain why God requires us to
pray when he knows just what we
need, and Just what he intends to give
us before we ask him? J. Q. C.
So your “one question” turns out to
be three. Nevertheless we murmur
not, for the Asked and Answered de
partment is furnished by the Index for
the benefit of its readers, and all are
welcome to send their questions to it.
Our correspondent’s accompanying let
ter furnishes abundant evidence that
his questions are asked in no captious
spirit.
1. The long prayers and much
speaking in praying which Jesus con
demned must not be confounded with
sincere importunity in prayer, which
is encouraged in several of his para-
Ides. Paul prayed three times ear
nestly that the thorn in his flesh
might be removed. There is nothing
to lead us to believe that his impor
tunity was displeasing to God, even
though the divine wisdom did not see
fit to grant his request. Perhaps he
needed the very discipline which came
through the importunity to prepare
him for the final refusal, and to assure
his humble submission to the will of
God in that matter. The importunate
widow continually besought the un
righteous Judge to vindicate her rights,
and the lesson for us in the parable is
that we are to wait on the Lord in
earnest and humble prayer. (Luke
18 7.) We are exhorted to "continue
Urgent in prayer,” and to “pray with
out ceasing.” Jesus himself prayed
three times that the awful cup might
pass. (Matt. 26: 44.)
2. By “vain repetitions” Jesus sure
ly did not mean such earnestness in
prayer as is described in the preceding
paragraph. What he condemned was
the habit of heartlessly repeating over
and over prescribed words of prayer,
very much in the same manner that
many "prayers” are now mumbled
over in liturgical worship. In Eccle
siastes 5: 2 we have this caution:
“Therefore let thy words be few,” and
in the apocryphal book of Sirach (Ec
clesiasticus) 7: 14, we read: “Use not
many words in multitude of elders,
and make not much babbling when
thou prayest.” Even if not an in
spired utterance, there is wisdom in
these words of “Jesus the son of Si
rach.” What our Lord condemned
was such "babbling,” or repeating
mere words in pretended praying. It
is saiil that Buddhist monks will for
hours, even days, together cry aloud
the sacred syllable Um; and some Ma
hommedans “turn round in a circle,
ami pronounce the name of God till
they drop down.” After a Mahomme
dan funeral in some countries, devout
men assemble and repeat “Allah el
Allah”- God is God —three thousand
times. They utter a very important
truth in the phrase, but they are
guilty of nonsense in the way they put
it. Very like such perversion of prayer
is the practice of Roman Catholics in
repeating, with the beads of their ros
aries, the Pater Nosters and Hail
Maries ten, fifteen, and even a hun
dred times, thinking to secure spirit
ual blessing by the number of repeti-
I actions, rather than the fervency or sin
'’f petitions. We do not
true lliis is, but it is said

THE CHRISTIAN INDEX : THURSDAY. JANUARY 28, 1897.
name of Jesun" ihould be “upon the
name.” Would /fiot “unto the name”
be better? Is not that the proper
translation of the words in Christ's last
commission? M. J. R.
The phrase In Acts 2: 38 is different
from that in Matt. 28: 19. The Greek
preposition in the former place is epi,
while in the latter it is eis. The ren
dering “upon the name,” as we give it
in the Quarterly, is literal. In the
commission the Revised Version ren
ders “into the name." Perhaps we
cannot do better than give what Dr.
Broadus says on the preposition in
the commission: "In, or into, the
name, is the most obvious and ■'Com
monest translation of the Greek
phrase (eis to onoma). The same
preposition and case are found after
baptize in Acts 8: 16; 19: 5; 1 Cor.
1: 13; and (with other nouns) in Gal.
3: 27; Romans 6: 3 (twice); 1 Cor.
10: 2; compare also Matt. 10: 41; 18:
20. Now, if we take this obvious
sense ‘into’, the question will arise
whether the ceremony actually brings
the person into the name, into Christ,
into Paul, Moses, etc., or whether it
only represents, symbolizes, the rela
tion thus indicated. Those who be
lieve in baptismal regeneration, or in
baptism as constituting regeneration,
will, of course, take the phrase in the
former sense; others will understand
that the ceremony only represents the
person’s introduction into the name,
into Christ. In either case the idea
denoted by ‘into’ seems to be highly
important, and with those who believe
in baptismal regeneration, etc., an es
sential element in the significance of
the ceremony. Now, it is to be ob
served that Luke In Acts, while twice
using 'into the name’ (eis to onoma),
as above cited, in 2: 38 has epi toi
onomati —‘upon the name’ —upon this
as basis or ground of the ceremony,
and in 10: 48 en toi onomati —‘in the
name’ —within the limits of it, with
relation to it and it alone. If, then,
the idea attached to ‘into’ be highly
important, or even essential, how do
we account for the fact that Luke uses
three other expressions, which may
with some effort be construed as
equivalent, but will quite fail to indi
cate the important conception in ques
tion? It would seem clear that Luke,
when recording the action of the apos
tles in carrying out the commission,
did not regard the distinctive notion
of ‘into’ as essential or highly impor
tant, or he would not have used that
phrase twice, and twice the other
phrases. And those who insist on the
most obvious translation of eis by
’into’, must beware of treating any
particular interpretation of the phrase
as very important, in the presence of
Luke’s usage. The question may also
arise whether it is not better to un
derstand eis to onoma as meaning in
all these cases ‘unto the name,’ with
reference to the name, as that to which
the ceremony is restricted. Then it
becomes plain at once that Luke's
other phrases give substantially the
same sense, and we see why he has
varied the expression at will. This
rendering is felt by all to lie necessary
in 1 Cor. 10: 2 —‘baptized unto Moses.’
And in Gal. 3: 27; Romans. 6: 3, ‘unto’
gives a thoroughly appropriate con
ception, ‘baptized unto Christ,’ with
distinct and exclusive reference to
him; that, is, the ceremony does not
refer to Moses, or to Paul, but to
Christ. And note especially the appro
priateness in Romans 6: 3 —‘all we
who were baptized unto Christ were
baptized unto his death,’ etc. Our
baptism in referring to Christ Jesus
referred especially to his death. 'We
were buried therefore with him
through the baptism unto death,’ etc.
We believe then that it would be a de
cided improvement to render baptize
eis everywhere by ‘unto.’ "

BRANSFORD.—Sister Emily Brans
ford died at the home of her daughter
on the 14th of July last, in the city of
Columbus, Ga. She was brightly con
verted when quite young, and united
with the Macedonian Baptist church,
of which she was a most devoted mem
ber for sixty years. She was of Joy
ous and sunny spirit. She was of deep
and fervent piety. She never relaxed
her hold on Christ and his word. Her
charity was almost unbounded. She
was literally a ministering ange) to all
who suffered or had sorrow. Her life
was full of peculiar trials. She was a
child of sorrow and affliction. She
frequently said, “AH thy waves ind thy
billows have gone over me." Still she
did not murmur or question her Shep
herd's wisdom, but was full of the
present, and power ordie Holy Ghost
in all her trials. She* w°r not once
heard to complain. Her love for God’s
house was intense. Ti’* wnter knew
her Intimately for nd3"4y forty-five
years, and can say he has known no
brighter, purer or more Joyous Chris
tian than our departed sister. She
was buried at. Mt. Olive church, beside
her departed husband, and leaves six
children, three sons and three daugh
ters; and a number of grandchildren.
Her end was great peace. It was all
light and no darkness. Her youngest
son says to me, “Pray for me.” Join
me that he, a noble and industrious
young man, may meet her again.
R. H. BULLOCH.
DUGGAN. —Died of typhoid fever, in
Cochran, Ga., on Sunday, January 3,
1897, Mrs. Addie Stone Duggan, wife
of Prof. A. M. Duggan, and eldest
daughter of Dr. and Mrs. R. G. Stone,
of Linton. Ga.
As a girl she was modest, gentle,
amiable and good. As a pupil she was
prompt, diligent, ambitious and bril
liant. As a young lady she had no
superiors. She was born August 11,
1872; at about the age of fifteen she
was baptized into Darien church, and
four years ago she was married. No
one possessed fairer prospects for long
life, happiness and usefulness.
For seven weeks she suffered with
patience and resignation; and Just as
the watchers began to hope for her re
covery the Master took her home. No
words can express the desolation of
the bereaved husband, the loss to the
two motherless babes, and the grief of
the father, mother, brothers, sisters
and friends.
She is through with the battle, the
storm and the strife,
She is safe from the troubles and trials
of life.
She will dwell evermore in the land of
the blest.
Where she’ll never be tired, but for
ever will rest.
IVY W. DUGGAN.
HALL.—lnez, eldest daughter of
Capt. and Mrs. G. A. Hall, was born
October 13, 1882, and went to heaven
January 7, 1897. She became a child
of the King in th£ summer of 1895.
