year ago as pastor of the Baptist
churches of Mansfield and Hart

May IL. 1919, is a day long to

church of Mansfield. At 3 o'clock
in the afternoon on the farm of
Joe Lee Dennis, where one of
the largest crowds ever gathered
at the baptiSmal waters in
Wright county we're gathered
on the banks of the beautiful
stream and witnessed the pastor
lead twelve boys and girls down
into the water and lay their sin.

Since the coming of Rev. Mr..
Ritzinger to the Mansfield Bap.
fist church, there have been 32
additions to the church. He has
also preached ~ funerals and
united II happy couples in holy
bonds CT wedlock.
The church has nearly doubled
in giving to the Lords work and
at their last business meeting
the church voted a nice increase
to their pastors salary tor which
we are sure the pastor is very
thankful.
Rev. Mr.. Ritzinger and his wife
have won for themselves a warm
place in the hearts of our people
and are always found working
for the best interests of the
community. We are glad they
have come among US and hope
their stay will continue for many
years to come.
