Generally the first will have been a private       baptism carried out in the house very soon after birth because it was       thought likely the child might not live, and the second will have been a       public baptism or reception into church when the child was well enough       to be taken to church.              Richard              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
