Private Baptism

Any person, whether man, woman or child, may and should baptize an infant in case of danger of death, thus: Take common water, pour it upon the head of the child, and while you are pouring it, say the following words : "J baptize thee in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen."

These words must be said and the water poured on by one and the same person, and care must be taken to pronounce the words distinctly and at the same time that the water is poured on.
