✠ JAMES, CARD. GIBBONS,

''Archbishop of  Baltimore. ''

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."
