needed the prayers of the church and he says, "You all know him--Joe Pink." Of course we all knew Joe Pink, who was the honorariest man in town, and a good deal in jail. [Illustration: John Doud] Then Harry Bailey got up. He'd had religion before several times. Every winter he got it if there was a revival; and if somebody had a new way of being baptized, he'd try it. He went on to say that he'd been sprinkled and dipped; that he'd had the double baptism of bein' sprinkled and dipped, but he'd never been really immersed--baptized; and now he knew it was the only thing and he'd been livin' in sin all these years. They said halleluyah to that, and everybody began to shake his hand, and pat him on the back, till pretty soon he keeled over in a fit like he had sometimes, and the revivalist said--"Just stand back--he may have the gift of tongues and begin to prophesy." But Harry just laid there kind a kickin' like a chicken with its head off and finally got up and sat down ready to be received into the church when they had the general baptism. They had a kind of tank under the pulpit, and when they got enough to make it worth while, the revivalist put on rubber boots and stepped down into this here tank and received 'em as they came to him, puttin' 'em clear under and then takin' 'em out. [Illustration: Mrs. Penny] After Harry Bailey talked, Mrs. Penny talked. She said she could do more washin' since she got into the church than ever, and that it had been the makin' of her. John Cruzan, a fighter, said he hadn't wanted to hurt a livin' soul since he was baptized. And so it went. Mitch was settin' on the end of the seat next the aisle, and I was on the inside. Pretty soon the revivalist came down and spied Mitch. He just saw him as a boy, and didn't know who he was. Just then they were singin' "Knockin', Knockin', Who is There?" And it was dreadful solemn, some were moaning, others crying out, some were clappin' their hands, and lots were being talked to to bring 'em over. So this revivalist kneeled down and says to Mitch: [Illustration: "Are You Saved, My Little Friend?"] "Are you saved, my little friend?" Mitch says, "Maybe, I don't know." "Maybe," says he. "Well, don't you want to be certain to escape the condemnation?" "I'd like to," says Mitch. "This is the accepted time, and you can't afford to say maybe, you must say I am sure--I know it. What is your name?" "Mitch Miller." "Well, Mitch, have you had the advantages of a Bible training?" "Yes, sir." "You've read it a little?" "All of it." "Do you believe it?" "Yes, sir." "Well, then, why don't you stand up right now and say I believe it and come into the church?" "I'd like to hear more about it." "What part of it?" "Baptism."
