Baptism he 5-year son of a Baptist minister was finally able to attend "Big" church with his whole family and saw for the first time baptism by immersion, and he was totally absorbed by the ceremony. On the way home he asked his preacher Dad what it all meant and why all the people that morning took a "fast bath." His father, worn out from his long Sunday morning duties, tried his best to explain in a simple way what baptism meant and why someone took a "fast bath" and got completely dipped. So, of course, that afternoon, the little 5-year old boy proceeded to baptize his three cats - in the bathtub! R The kitten bore it very well, and so did the young cat, but the old family she-cat rebelled. It struggled with him, clawed, and got away. With considerable effort he caught it again and proceeded with the baptism, but the cat acted worse than ever and scratched the young lad. Finally the boy threw the cat on the floor in disgust, and said: "Fine, be a Methodist if you want to!"
