Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:
"We would get firewood and rails to build fences. I had a rope that went around my neck and down under my arm and tied it to the wood and snaked it to the house. I also tied the rope to a sled, when there was snow on, and pulled the sled up the hill, loaded it with wood, push it over the hill and it would run down the hill to the house by itself. Mother was sick and Samantha was doing the cooking. The wood we was getting to cook with didn't satisfy Smanth. She wanted to go with us to get some good wood to cook with. I pulled the sled to the top of the hill. We got a big load on top of the sled, pulled the sled to the edge of the hill to push it over the hill. Smanth had on a old, big sweater, the sleeves was rolled up and she was pushing the sled. We told her to turn loose of the sled when it started down the hill but she wouldn't. She wanted it to get a big start. She got her sweater sleeve hung over the standard on the sled and it jerked her down. We thought the sled was going to run a straddle a sharp rock down the hill and bust her brains out. Charley went to praying. The sled missed the rock and run through the wash pond at the foot of the hill and "baptized" her. Charley went to shouting when she got "baptized". She never did bother us no more about getting wood."
