"All right," said Sterling with a smile, "I'm all attention. Read that passage again, Miss Dorothy."
She read: "'I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!'"
"Who is that talking?" asked Mr. Page.
"It is Christ," said Sterling, "and he is talking about his coming sufferings which were to end in his death."
"And what is it he says about his sufferings? Read it again, daughter."
She read it once more.
"You say, Sterling, that Christ here speaks of his future sufferings and said he was to be baptized in them?"
"No, he does not say he will be baptized 'in' them, but 'with' them, thus showing that he was not to be immersed but sprinkled."
"You mean, then," said Dorothy, "that Christ said he was to be sprinkled with his sufferings?"
"Yes."
