Mary Welch, aged eleven days, was baptized according to the custom of the first church, and the rule of the Church of England, by immersion. The child was ill then, but recovered from that hour.

Oh, my!

Thank you, Kind Sir, for again visiting my cyber-home. I appreciate the time you took in doing so, and the humor you shared. Your kind thoughts and words of encouragement are a blessing to me.

God bless you!

John, would you say the act of baptism conveyed healing grace to that child?

I have to add my words of gratitude to those of Vicki for visiting my humble cyber-dwelling. I'm sorry it has taken me too long to properly return the favor; the life of a seminarian in the colonies is a brutal one!

'Twas grace indeed. God's most powerful and pre-existing grace that will woo unto salvation.
