l3i7l

You may be thinking of U.S. Grant, but it is not true. The Rev. J.P. Newman, D.D., afterwards a Methodist bishop, was the minister at the church attended by Julia Grant in New York City. When Grant was dying he tried to convert Grant, but the General would have none of it. The Rev. Dr. Newman, however, was a sticker. When he found that General Grant had never been baptized, he did not ask permission to perform the rite. While Grant was asleep, he took a pan of water and sprinkled him. He was determined that General Grant should go to heaven, in spite of himself. Grant himself never made a profession of faith. Jan 03 01, 4:40 AM
