Heigh! Presto!
The following is from Spurgeon
I am sorry to say that there is much
craftiness and trickery to be met
with in the religious world.
Why, there are those who pretend to save
souls by curious tricks, intricate maneuvers,
and dexterous posture making. A basin of
water, half-a-dozen drops, certain syllables
and - Heigh! Presto! -the infant is a child
of
grace, and becomes a member of Christ,
and an inheritor of the kingdom of heaven!
This aqueous regeneration surpasses my belief.
It is a trick which I do not understand-
only the initiated can perform the beautiful
piece of magic, which excels anything ever
attempted by the wizards.
