Baptism: Kid Style

My grandfather was an old time minister and loved to tell about when he came home and heard voices singing, "Shall We Gather At The River". He tip-toed along the hedge fence until he could see where it came from. A dozen of his grandchildren were sitting by the small pool in the backyard and one grandson was standing in the pool getting ready to baptize one of his cousins. In an almost perfect imitation of his grandfather, he asked: "Do you confess your sins?" "I do', replied the cousin. "Then," said the grandson, "I baptized thee in the name of the Father and of the Son and into the hole-ye-go".
