He was the Reverend Polycarp C. Wike, a great believer in religious education for Lutheran youth, particularly as a means of fortifying them against the teachings of the Baptists. It was said that no matter what his scripture text might be, he could always find something in it to promote the doctrine of infant baptism. He was always ready and willing to argue about that sacrament.' (p. 413 f.).
