Sabbath, January 1, 1859.—The commencement of another year. My husband went down into the water and buried seven with Christ in baptism; two of them were but children. One prayed earnestly in the water to be kept unspotted from the world. May they live a new life unto God. 15MS 2, 1859. LASW 26.2
We have seen the work of God in Battle Creek after a marvelous manner. Brother Hunt’s children have sought the Lord and have been baptized. Dr. Lay’s children have also given their hearts to God, and all have been baptized but Minnie. Nellie Mead has been baptized, also George Wilson’s little girl. The youngest Hearns girl has gone forward in baptism, Marcus Ashley was baptized, also Oliver Pratt and Mary More. 16Letter 11, 1867 LASW 26.3
