Yesterday Rev. William Atkinson,
pastor OF the Mt. Zion colored Baptist
church, OF Bridgeport, baptized eighteen
persons who had confessed their faith
IN Christianity and wanted to be re-
celved as members of his church. The
a1alr was one to be long remembered
by the people of that little town. as
a crowd OF several hundred people
coming from Wheeling, Bellaire, Mar
tins Ferry, and even from as far as
Sistersville and Steubenville, gathered
IN the little town across the river to wit
ness the affair. Many came out of Curl
osity, having never witnessed a dip
ping before, while others came merely
to see reproduction of what they have
witnessed many times in the past.
The immersion took place immedi-
ately after the morning services at the
church. The congregation, headed by
the pastor and those who were 10 under
so the baptisimal service, marched from
the church over to Bagg's landing. Just
north OF the c. & =. passenger depot.
Where the ceremony took place. When
they arrived the crowd which had been
gathering for some time on the shore
and bank, presented itself as a strug
cling mass OF humanity, all craning
their necks to catch sight of those who
were TO be immersed in the cold and
muddy waters Of the Ohio. A large
proportion of the crowd consisted of
colored people of the surrounding towns
who seemed as anxious to see the affair
as their white brethren.
1t was about fifteen minutes past
twelve o'clock when Rev. Atkinson.
after a few remarks concerning the oc-
casion and its significance. waded out
into the chilly water up to his waist,
with an assistant who aided him in i'm
mersing his converts There were
eight men and ten women. The men
were immersed first and strange to say
no trouble was experienced with them,
which might have possibly been due TO
the chilling effect the water had on their
ardor. All were quiet and reserved in
their actions. each wading out in his
turn to the minister, who grasped one
Of his arms and his assistant the other.
After the usual remarks, he was drawn
or rather pushed under the water and
Immediately pulled out in a suffering
and excited condition.
All went well until he began to bap-
tie the women, all of whom it would
naturally be expected were excited to
some extent. Three of them, however,
