These are of early '70s vintage, I recall. My job was to sort through thousands of these and be sure they were not "off register."
Do you remember this WT calendar art?

It was "speculated" that the beautiful lady descending into the water is Damaris, the man plunged, Dionysis, the plunger, Paul the Apostle. A very talented Bethel sister, whose name I don't remember, was the artist.
Now that I think about it, didn't Paul write that he did no baptizing at all?
THOUGHTS???

Hi compound complex!

Watchtower 15 August 1968, pages 511 to 512
Questions From Readers: Why did the apostle Paul say, as recorded at 1 Corinthians 1:17, that Christ dispatched him “not to go baptizing”? He did baptize believers, did he not?

The first picture of baptism from the 1970 calendar is painted in a HUGE format in a wall at the side of the platform of Chile's Betel Assembly Hall... I looked at it all my childhood....

My, you are helpful with both pertinent info and personal anecdotes! I really appreciate your replies. The original oil paintings hung on walls of Brooklyn Bethel.
Best wishes.

Was the artist/sister named Melissa Bellows? She and her artist husband Bill are still there as far as I know.

Yes, I know - it's not really Pawnee's Town Hall in Indiana , it's actually Pasadena's Town Hall in California!
