Bryan Vinson, 634 W. Cottage, Houston, Texas: Last Lord's Day we had the very pleasant and unusual experience of baptizing three elderly ladies, sisters, into Christ. From early childhood they had been Methodists. To witness three sisters, all of advanced age, and long held in the throes of denominationalism, thus enter into the liberty provided by Christ was a most thrilling experience for me. I thought it worthy, therefore, of reporting so that others might rejoice with us."
