Dips Pastor in Icy Creek.

Fairbury, 111., Feb. 4.—Rev. R. F. Kilgore of Chillhowee, Mo., who has been holding revival meetings here in the Baptist church and a member of the Methodist denomination, in a strong sermon yesterday morning, stated that baptism by sprinkling was not satisfactory to him and in consequence Rev. Mr. Ryan, ■ the local Baptist pastor, in company with a large gathering of people, baptized him in the creek near this city while a fierce blizzard was raging. About six inches of snow was on the ground and the ice, which was seven inches thick, had to be cut.
