The Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Church says you'll go to hell if you convert to the heretical Baptists. Even the other Scandinavian settlers, who arrived before our immigrants, are against them. But Ulrika converts for the man she loves.

3.11 DOWN TO THE SACRED WAVE 1:38
En vacker och solvarm värsöndag, Henry O. Jackson
[One beautiful and warm sunny spring Sunday, Henry O. Jackson]
Döper sin blivande maka i St. Croix-flodens vatten
[Baptises his future wife in the waters of the St. Croix River]

BAPTISTER: (Baptist congregation:)

Down to the sacred wave our Lord was led

Hallelujah! Jesus Christ, descending

Into the river Jordan, bowed his head,

John the Baptist, bless his soul, attending

There he taught the solemn way

The holy rite was ordained that day

That's where he bade his ransomed ones obey

Let the path of light be never-ending
