Lay Baptism.
Provided an infant is in danger of dying before a priest can be procured, any other person, whether man, woman, or child, may baptize it in the following manner: While pouring common water on the head or face of the child, pronounce the words, " I baptize thee in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."
