Mr. Crandal in his letters makes special reference to this visit, and says—“A pious sister asked for baptism, and I answered that she would be immersed at 10 o’clock, A.M. the next day. Accordingly, before the hour arrived, people came from all directions for many miles around, and the ice having been opened, the candidate related a clear Christian experience, and I baptized her. When we came out of the water, two more told what God had done for their souls, and we could not leave the water until fourteen happy converts had been immersed in conformity to the Saviour’s example. Surely this was the Lord’s work. Four or five hundred people were present, and it was a great day of God’s power. The work of the Lord spread in every direction.” He remained on the river for some time above Fredericton, preaching the gospel and immersing believers as far up as Woodstock. On his return he called again at Canning, and was immediately met by crowds of people, many of whom had been searching the Bible on the subject of baptism during his absence, and had come to the conclusion that it was their duty to be baptized. In the room where they were assembled, the Lord made himself manifest in great power. Many of these people had been united in a Congregational Church, but they now saw it to be their duty to be baptized.

An aged man arose from his seat; it was Esquire Esty, and old New England Congregationalist, rooted and grounded in the old Puritan practice of infant sprinkling. He was a man much beloved. He said to me, ‘I see you are going to break up our church.’ I said to him, ‘Sir, if your church is built on Christ, the gates of hell cannot prevail against.’ He replied, ‘Do you not call us a Church of Christ?’ I said, ‘I consider you a company of pious Christians, but not walking in the order of the gospel as Christ has commanded.’ He took up his hat and walked out, saying, his parents had given him up to the Lord in infancy, and from that he would not depart. As he was going out, I said, ‘Esquire, I have one word to say to you—the Scribes and Pharisees rejected the counsel of God against themselves, not being baptized.’ The next morning being Lord’s day, we met at the water at nine o’clock, A.M. A great host assembled to see the effects of the new religion, and to my great surprise, the old gentleman who had said he would never depart from his infant sprinkling, was the first to yield obedience to the commands of Christ. Such a day of the Lord’s saving power was rarely witnessed on earth. Nearly thirty candidates were baptized, and the meeting did not
