Baptism by Total Immersion

Jehovah's Witnesses, whose church is opposite the Girls' High School in Gladstone Road, believe in two essential principles in their baptism service: The candidate must be old enough to make the decision, and the baptism must be by total immersion.

Pictures here taken at a recent convention in the city show four candidates being immersed in canvas bath outside the church.

Immersion was carried out by Mr E. Coombe, of Hastings.
