se you are obliged to leave before the conclusion of the service. You will find many of the Collects--such as that for the First Sunday after Epiphany, or the Second Sunday after Easter, or the Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity, or those at the end of the Communion Office--in every way appropriate. _At evening Prayer._--(1) Note the several ways in which the Minister may proceed after the opening Sentence. On Sundays, he may say, "Let us humbly confess our sins unto Almighty God," and pass to the GENERAL CONFESSION. Or else he may say, "Dearly beloved brethren, the Scripture," etc. "On days other than the Lord's Day, he may, at his discretion, pass at once to the LORD'S PRAYER" (pages 16, 19). (2) Note that the COLLECT FOR THE DAY _must_ be said (page 27). (3) EVENING PRAYER is said in full or may be ended after the COLLECT FOR AID (page 27). (4) What has been said of the use of the OCCASIONAL PRAYERS and of the THANKSGIVINGS in {97} MORNING PRAYER is equally applicable to EVENING PRAYER. _At the Litany._--(1) The LITANY is said ordinarily after MORNING PRAYER on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays (page 30). A part may be omitted (page 33). (2) It may also be said after the COLLECT FOR AID in EVENING PRAYER, or it may be used separately. See first and second paragraphs in CONCERNING THE SERVICE OF THE CHURCH (page vii). _At the Holy Communion._--(1) The Communion Office follows immediately after the Collects, Epistles, and Gospels (page 221). It is the common custom that the LORD'S PRAYER at the beginning of the service is said by the Priest alone, and not, as in other services, by all the people with him. This is due to the fact that this prayer and the following COLLECT FOR PURITY anciently formed part of the office for the Priest's private preparation before entering the sanctuary. The LORD'S PRAYER may be omitted if MORNING PRAYER has been said immediately before (page 221). (2) Observe that the DECALOGUE may be omitted if said once on each Sunday, and what is to be done in that case (pages 222, 224). (3) The COLLECT OF THE DAY, while used in other {98} Services, belongs properly to the Communion Office. It must be said. It is called in the Communion Service the Collect "of" the Day, elsewhere the Collect "for" the Day. The EPISTLE and the GOSPEL for the day are found in the same place as the COLLECT OF THE DAY (page 52). (4) Observe that preference is given to the NICENE CREED, and that
