CT FOR THE DAY--where found (pages
52-188, 188-220), how used: "Except when the Communion Service is read"
(page 13). "The Collect shall serve all the Week after, where not
otherwise ordered." "The Collect for any Sunday or other Feast may be
used at the Evening Service of the day before" (page 52). Note the use
throughout the season of the COLLECT FOR THE FIRST SUNDAY IN ADVENT.
Throughout Lent is used, in like manner, the COLLECT FOR ASH-WEDNESDAY
(page 86). Observe the use of the COLLECT FOR CHRISTMAS DAY (page 62),
and that the Collect, Epistle, and Gospel for St. Stephen's Day, St.
John the Evangelist's Day, the Innocents' Day, and for the
Circumcision, are not among those for the Saints'-days, but placed in
connection with those for Christmas Day and the Sunday after. Note
rubrics (pages 66, 69, 71, 87, 141).

service, if used (page 44).
(9) There are several ways in which the Minister may end the MORNING
PRAYER: "On any day not a Sunday, he may end the MORNING PRAYER with
the COLLECT FOR GRACE and 2 COR. XIII. 14." The prayers following that
"for the President of the United States" "shall be omitted when the
LITANY is said, and may be omitted when the HOLY COMMUNION is
