it
must be said at certain times, on Christmas Day, Easter Day, Ascension
Day, Whitsunday, and Trinity Sunday (page 224).

(5) When the Minister gives notice of the Holy Communion the
EXHORTATION read, in whole or part, is that beginning, "Dearly beloved,
on ---- day next I purpose," or that beginning, "Dearly beloved
brethren, on ---- I intend, by God's grace" (pages 240, 242).

(6) Note that the EXHORTATION, "Dearly beloved in the Lord," may be
omitted, provided it is said once, on a Sunday, in that same month
(page 229).

(7) Note the use of the PROPER PREFACES which emphasize the special
teaching of the great festivals (page 233).

(8) Note the direction (page 237) that in the administration to the
communicants the Sacrament is to be delivered "into their hands." That
can be best done, with reverence and care, if, when the Bread is {99}
delivered, the person receiving will place the open right hand upon the
left, the palm being slightly hollowed to receive the consecrated
Bread, and, when the Cup is delivered, will take firm hold of the
chalice with both hands--of the bowl, or stem immediately under it,
with the right hand, and of the pedestal with the left. Of course
gloves should be removed.

(9) Observe what is done when a second CONSECRATION is necessary (page
237).

(10) Note that a hymn may be substituted for the _Gloria in excelsis_.
This is commonly done in penitential seasons (page 238).

(11) Direction is given (page 240) that the consecrated Bread and Wine
remaining after the Communion shall be reverently consumed. Small
crumbs which cannot be taken otherwise are poured into the chalice, and
the chalice rinsed two or three times with a little wine and water, the
Priest drinking the same. This is called "The ablutions."

_At the Baptism of Infants._--(1) Note that the general congregation
and the company at the Font are all to stand until the LORD'S PRAYER.

(2) Note the permission given to shorten the service. The Minister
shall say, "Hear the words of the Gospel," etc., or else pass
immediately to the {100} questions addressed to the sponsors, provided
that "in every church the intermediate parts of the Service shall be
used, once at least in every month, (if there be a baptism,) for the
better instructing of the People in the grounds of Infant Baptism."

(3) Observe that the THANKSGIVING following the EXHORTATION upon the
words of the GOSPEL is to be said by all, the people joining wit
