Be Baptized - Roderick C Meredith - November 1974

Roderick C Meredith

Streaking through the upper atmosphere at 600 miles per hour, our Boeing 747 was bound for London. Incredibly powerful jet engines enabled this huge plane to carry some 340 passengers plus luggage - a payload of about 710,000 pounds. A remarkable accomplishment of modern avionics. Lunch was about to be served. Sipping on their preluncheon martinis, some of the passengers were visibly amused at two elderly ladies making their way down the aisle. For these women wore a kind of austere religious garb that seemed, somehow, utterly and totally incongruous with this modern jet-set atmosphere. It was true. They just didn't fit. They looked and felt out of place. But how can you know whether any costume or custom is just a "carry-over" of old-fashioned human ideas or whether it is, in fact, what the Creator of heaven and earth truly wants His followers to practice? - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
