"Well, you know I have to learn about these things. What do you mean then by baptism?"
"Baptism is performed by having water sprinkled or poured gently upon the head of the candidate. It is a very impressive ceremony."
"That is strange, for do you know I saw in the Bible just the kind of baptism that I witnessed that day in Nebraska?"
"Oh, never. Bible baptism is by sprinkling and sprinkling alone."
"Well, I read in one or two places about people being baptized by being put under the water; that is, unless I am very much mistaken."
"Hold on," said the father. "I guess you had better clear up that point about baptism before you go any further."
"Not at all," said Sterling very earnestly; "there is nothing to clear up. It is a plain fact of history as well as of Bible teaching that baptism was done by sprinkling."
"Do the denominations differ about baptism?" asked Dorothy.
"Not worth talking about; nearly all the denominations agree that the baptism of the Bible is by sprinkling or pouring."
"Daughter, get your Bible and let's see that passage where you say the people were put under the water."
