Ellen G. White: The Australian Years: 1891-1900 (vol. 4)

The Baptism at a Lake

With the progress of the evangelistic work in the Sydney area, there were baptisms, many of them. The first two, resulting from work in the tent in Ashfield, had been conducted in the Baptist church at their invitation. But when some of their key members were rebaptized into the Seventh-day Adventist Church, a tender point was reached, and this privilege was cut off. Ellen White saw it as a blessing and witnessed a baptism of twenty at a lake, attended by about two hundred persons (Manuscript 60, 1895). 4BIO 182.5
