Trine-Immersion Folly.

A correspondent writes from Maine: “We are glad that Bro. Waggoner’s articles on Baptism are to be published in pamphlet form. There is a man in the next district preaching and practicing trine immersion. He says people call him an Adventist, but he calls himself a Come-outer, and says he is not only a Come-outer but a Stay-outer. He dipped one young man three times, but he didn’t wash out his tobacco; for he was at our house last week and almost smoked us out. This preacher says any one who is baptized any other way than by being plunged forward has the mark of the beast, and if he had it, he would baptize himself, if he could find no one to baptize him. What next?”
