ne Bishops Cfttte mistake.
The visiting bishop was admins
tering the rite of baptism to the 4
months-old infant Of the local pastor
of one Of the churches in southern
city. The little one was presented
to the bishop by its doting father Its
lily white face, crowned with a wealth
of flaxen ringlets and its long white
robe made a pleasing picture as the
! parent presented 1t to the bishop and
the audience was interested and at
tentive. The bishop, inspired by the
dainty little mite that nestled so
| quietly in his arms, discoursed elo-
/ quently on the fitness of the candi-
date, of the wisdom of entering her
tiny feet thus early on the narrow
path of righteousness, closing his re-
marks with a brief prayer that she
/ might grow up to be a shining light
| in the church, comfort to her par
ents and a useful member of society.
Then, In voice of solemn dignity as
he reached forth his hand to sprinkle
the holy waters Of baptism over the
fiaxen ringlets. the bishop asked:
What is this child's name?"
Then, In trembling voice which
betrayed the confusion that soon
spread to the bishop and to the congre-
