A young woman Of social proml-
nence and respectability was to unite
with the chuich in her home town and
desired the ordinance Of baptism by
immersion in water, desiring the
primitive custom of going to the river.
Among the number that gathered to
witness the baptism was little boy
friend, Charlie, about four years old,
The proceedings were entirely new to
the child, and he looked on with
strange curiosity as the candidate
was led into the river. The spring
freshets had made the river somewhat
turbulent. and it was with difficulty
that the minister maintained his foot
ing. During the following week the
young woman called at the home Of
his family, and after the usual greet
ings said to the little boy as she ex-
tended her hand:
Come here. Charlie. and see me.
You do not know who am, do your"
she continued.
Yes, indeed, | do.T said the boy.
