For, while John baptized with water, you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit before many days have passed."

Presently, as they were going along the road, they came to some water, and the Treasurer exclaimed: "Look! here is water; what is to prevent my being baptized?"

So he ordered the carriage to stop, and they went down into the water--both Philip and the Treasurer--and Philip baptized him.

But, when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the Treasurer saw no more of him; for he continued his journey with a joyful heart.

"Can any one refuse the water for the baptism of these people, now that they have received the Holy Spirit as we did ourselves?"

And I recalled the saying of the Master-- 'John baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'

So they took soundings, and found twenty fathoms of water. After waiting a little, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
