When I was a "wee tot" I would sit by my grandfather's knee and listen while he and his uncle told stories from their childhood. Around 1915 they attended a baptism at Tumbling Creek Church. As the entire congregation gathered on the banks of the river to observe the baptism, the "town drunk" staggered by and wanted to see what all the commotion was about. As he wandered closer to the riverbank to get a better view, he didn't notice that the river had undercut the portion of the bank he was standing on. About the same time that the minister finished praying and immersed the new convert into the water, the bank (and the drunk) fell into the water. The new convert came out of the water, threw up his arms, and said, "I've seen the Lord Jesus Christ!" The drunk called out, "You're a durn liar! It was a mud turtle...I seen it myself!" My grandfather said this resulted in the worst whipping his father ever gave him...because he laughed out loud at a baptism! Kim Hagy
