P.S. Some years back, on this mission, it
was customary to place converts under covenant
on the water's edge, previous to baptism, but the
practice is now discontinued throughout the
mission. I would be pleased to have an ex-
pression from you as to what would be proper
in the matter, or in other words, what order
you would like to have carried out
