A, Kentucky preacher rose to speak,
and opened the bible. The first verse
that met his eye happened to be, "The
voice of the turtle shall be heard in the

much in this tex, but, on little consid-
Grafton, you viii see there's great deal

is. If you've been along by pond, you
have seen them on log summing them

the turtle. shall be heard in the land
But the turtle hasn't any voice, that any
body ever heard; 80 il must be the noise
he makes in plunging off the log into
the water. Hence, we conclude that
immersion is meant, and that immersion
will becoule universal" :
