NOTE.

THIS order of services has been found convenient, and is therefore here inserted. But it is not in

tended to be strictly adhered to, but may be varied, by the officiating minister, in the following ways.

It may be shortened, by omitting the first HYMN, or the CONFESSION, or the SENTENCES following the LORD'S PRAYER.

Instead of the PSALMS, or in addition to them, the TE DEUM, the SELECTIONS FROM THE PROPHETS, or one of the LITANIES, may be used.

An EXTEMPORE PRAYER may be introduced before the SERMON, whenever the Minister desires it.

Finally, as it is not the object of this Service-Book to establish an inflexible form, but rather to afford the means of variety in public worship, the Churches and Ministers can make any other alterations from this order which they may deem expedient.

The Introductory Sentences are to be read by the Minister alone; the Confession and Lord's Prayer, by the Minister and Congregation together ; the Psalms, Prophets, and Litanies, by the Minister and Congregation in alternate sentences.
