spend Sunday at Oswego. where his family
reside. Awaiting him there he found an.
anonymous letter without date, but post
marked Albany, and containing q draft

his order. The brief and mysteri-

Jenkins is at q loss to account for the unex-

when ne refers to the matter. He says he

debts in days gone by, and this may be an
old account which somebody has finally
concluded to pay. Amore plausible theory,
perhaps, is that some one has, at some time.

Dodge City times. [volume] (Dodge City, Kan.) 1876-1892, 1879-05-03

Some time ago the announcement was
made that the Baptist missionaries Ia
boring among the TeloOgoos of Ongole.
India, and vicinity, had just baptized
2,222 converts in one day. The story
appeared to the Rev. J. H. Cunning Of
Titusville, Pa, to be large one, and so.
he wrote to Missionary Clough at On
COLE and asked: =" How many men does
it take to baptize 1922 persons in one
day?" MIR. Clough was too busy to,
answer, but passed the letter over to an
associate, who replied to MIR. Cunning
as follows: "With reference to your
question, How many men does it take
to baptize 1929 persons in one day?' l
should say that depends on several
things; but in the present case the SIM
pie reply is Six But, lest this be too
laconic, 1 will enlarge a little. Bear in
mind that the baptistery was admirably
situated for expeditions work. 1t was
at the ford of a river, with sort of ba-
sin on either side; and no time was lost
in coming or going, as the water was
sufficiently deep close up to the road.
Remember, too, that the ex-
aminatiOns and all other necessa-
~ preparatory work had been pre-
viously attended to. The people we're
arranged in groups according to their
villages. Only two preachers baptized
ct one time; when these we're tired, two
others took their places; those. in turn,
we're relieved by the other two, and 50
on. The bap,izing commenced at about
5 a. m. and continued until 10. 1t was
resumed at p. m. and completed at 6.
1t will thus be seen that the baptism of
1922 converts occupied two preachers
nine hours, or about thirty seconds for
each candidate. If the six preachers
had all been employed at the same time
the 1922 converts would have been bap-
tized in just three hours. That the
time occupied was ample to do it "de-
Gently and in order" is proven by an
actual experiment made on the S0th of
June in Ongole. On that day Brother
ClOugh baptized 2l2 converts. As he
entered the baptistry he handed Mrs.
Cough his watch. at which she looked
and marked that he began baptizing at
6:l7, and as the last candidate rose
from the water it was precisely 7:3S.
The average time will be seen to be %
seconds; but no effort was made at
haSte.o
