A Lively Scene in Brother Bakers Church, Which
Made it Impossible TO Present Petition

Turn His Voice Loose.
ICOPYRIGHTED.


Rev. BOneset Baxter, whose cOngre-
CATION lived on the east shore of Red
river, and Rev. Bronson Fenncl, whose
congregation held forth on the west
bank of the stream, found it impossible
to agree. They held the same faith;
both baptized their converts in the same
water. and on special occasions they
had communed with each other as all
colored brethren should; but their
course of religious loYe was not destined
to flow as smoothly as the stream that
divided their log meeting houses. The
trouble came about in this way: BaX-
ter'S side of the river was suffering from
too much rain; Fcnnel's side was atllict-
ed with drought. Baxter called his
people together to pray for sunshine;
Fennel assembled his congregation to
petition for rain.
