When I was reading this article that Richard Raines had written about being baptized at the Mouth of Butler, it brought back a lot of memories of the good services that we have had there on that creek bank.

One night when we were in a service at Purdy Separate Baptist church, this lady got up and said "I want to go to the creek and be baptized tonight."She had been afraid of water but God had let her know that she needed to be baptized. This was the first baptizing that we had ever been to at night, but not the last. There was one to be baptized and it ended up with sixteen being baptized with eight of them getting saved there on the creek bank.

This was the night that Rebecca Cowan Smith got saved. It was a wonderful service with a lot of rejoicing. A lot of people were stopping to see what was going on, and I'm sure they got blessed too. - Ann Goff
