the Church may build you up and give you an inheritance

FORM FOR BAPTISM OF CHILDREN. 



For the promise is unto you and to your children. — Acts 2 : 39. 



Dearly Beloved : rejoicing in your privilege as Christian 

 parents to seek for your children that covenant of grace and re- 

 newal of the Holy Spirit of which the rite of Baptism is the 

 divinely appointed sign and seal ; do you now present both 

 yourselves and them a willing offering to the Lord, in humble 

 reliance upon His promised blessing, and do you engage to 

 faithfully train your child for Him by precept, prayer, and 

 Christian example? 



The parents will answer, " 7 rfo," and the minister, naming each child with a Chris- 

 tian name, shall baptize them, saying : 



A. B. : I baptize thee into the Name of the Father, and of the 

 Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. 



After baptism, prayer may be offered by the minister, and the choir may sing some 

 appropriate selection.
