BAPTIZED IN THE ICY BAY
NINE CONVERTS OF THE HOLY GHOST
AND Us. INCLUDING A CHILD
IMMERSED.

With tho water almost at the freezing poiHt'
and shrieking, biting breeze blowing r w.
Sandford, of the Holy Ghost and Us society
baptized nine converts to the faith in the waters
OF New-York Bay, at Sixtieth-st, Bay Ridee'
Yesterday afternoon. The converts were I"o
men, six women and little girl, Dorothy bar
ton seven years old, daughter of Mrs j. Barton.
The little one, whose mother was also I'M
mersed shivered with cold and fright ana
screamed and fought they dragged her 70 the
icv water She was clad only in a thln caiico
dress and stockings, and after her wet garments
had been removed and ory ones SUBSTITUTED sne
stood before = stove her lips blue from the cold
and her fraiI body trembling, for more than an
hour before she thoroughly warmed
The other converts were Oakley ketchunl'
veteran. with white beard and bald head. and
seventy-fve years old; Mrs. Jeannette MacDon-
aid. Miss Ruth Hansccn. Miss Charlotte HON
rren. Mrs. Esther Nelson, Miss Mary Daniel
and II. B. Henderson The women chahseu
their clothes preparatory to taking the plunge
in the water in the house of Lawrence MELON
aid an old fishermen, at Sixty-hrst-st. anu
New-York Bay, and the men dressed IN a SNACK
on the beach owned by T. J. Larkin, SUD
marine diver.
Mr. Sanford waded into the water about forty
feet from the shore. The immersions took piace
only when a good sized wave came rolling III
as big a wave as the others. She was terrlneu
when she led back to the beach ana was
hustled off to the shanty quickly as poSSipe.
Some of the spectators were indignant at TINS
treatment of the child. and one man SAID ne
was going to notify the Brooklyn Society Tor
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Inc
adult members of the party shouted and SANG
as they were dipped in the frigid water. -
The HOLY Ghost and Us Society opened lts
secord days session yesterday morning IN Grand
Union Hall. Mr. Sandford. from the pulpit oe.
clared himself ''an ambassador of Jesus ChrlSt-
especially ordained by God to administer the
only true baptism. He talked for over an hour
on the subject of immersion. condemned all
forms of baptism practised by other religious
sects prophesied that the day of judgment was
at hand, and said that within a short time
healing by faith would become general
The most interesting feature OF the morning
session was the appearance of the janitor, who
came in quest of his rent for the hall ine
society when it hired the place for three DAYS
neglected the formality of posting a forfeit
Since then Mr.. Sandford and his followers nave
refrained from discussing money matters ana
il dawned upon the janitor that perhaps ne
himself, might be held by the proprietor OF the
nall for the rent. He therefore. threatened MS
new tenants with dispossess proceedings unless
they paid.
The congregation consisted of about a dozen
men and women, more by nine than attended
the meeting the preceding day.
