God and join the army of the Lord where there is no retreat. He compared the bap- tismal service to the induction of a soldier in the army. Many victories for God were recorded in these baptisms—wife joined husband in the faith and husband joined wife to make united families. A mother and daughter, both heads of families, were baptized. One lady who had received training as a nun in earlier life was also baptized. They came from many walks of life and dif- ferent stations, but the radiance of joy on their faces testified to their hope of a soon returning Saviour. This baptism represents also the first fruits of the Saginaw effort which is still continuing. Another large baptism is planned in the near future.
