Section 2. The appointment of a Lay Dele- gate to the Convention of this Diocese shall be certified in writing by the Rector of the Parish or Church of which he is a delegate, or by one
of the Wardens, or by the Clerk of the Vestry, or Trustees, and the Certificate shall be for- warded by mail or otherwise, to the Secretary not later than forty-eight hours before the meeting of the Convention. This Certificate shall state in all cases that the person so certi- fied is entitled to vote for Wardens and Vestry- men-or would be so entitled if the Church which he is appointed to represent were not otherwise organized or incorporated-and that the said Parish or Church is not in arrears in payment of its assessment for the Diocesan Expense Fund, or (if it be in arrears) that it prays the Convention to remit the sum in arrears for the good and sufficient reasons presented in a paper annexed. The form of said certificate may be prescribed by the Con- vention, and when so prescribed no other certificate of the appointment of any Lay Dele- gate or Delegates to the Convention of this Diocese shall be allowed or received.
STUDIES IN THE PRAYER BOOK. THE LORD'S PRAYER.
Any one who has not carefully exam- ined and compared the rubrics preceding the Prayer Book, will be surprised to learn how diverse they are and apparently at variance with each other. No doubt most of our people suppose that the direction given in Morning Prayer, that the people shall "repeat it with the Minister both here and wheresoever else it is used in Di- vine Service," is intended to govern its use everywhere and on all occasions. If that were so, we should naturally expect that there would be no further rubrie required before the Lord's Prayer anywhere in the Prayer Book: or else that the rubrics would be identical wherever it occurs. But that is by no means the case. Even in Evening Prayer the rule occurs again. "the people repeating it with him." In the Litany it is, "the Minister and the people with him;" after the Communion, "the people repeating after him every peti- tion ;" in Forms of Prayer to be used at Sea, "then shall they together say the Lord's Prayer," while in the Baptismal offices we have it, "then shall be said, all

kneeling;" in the Confirmation service, "the Bishop shall add;" in the Marriage service, "the Minister shall say;" and at the beginning of the Communion service, "the Minister shall say the Lord's Prayer and the Collect following, the people kneeling." Now this repetition and va- riety of rubrics prove several different things-first, that the Prayer Book is an inheritance and a growth, not a thing made up all at once at any particular pe- riod; second, that it is a combination of several books, once used separately, and then brought together into one; and, third, that when these several books were united in one volume, the rubrics in each were not made to conform strictly with the others. Doubtless the reason for this over- sight was the fact, that the Clergy and peo- ple who used the newly compiled Prayer Book were entirely familiar with the cus- toms which it was intended to perpetuate, and did not need to pay much attention to the rubrics ; just as our people now are ac- customed to our old American ways, and do not observe whether they agree with the rubrics or not. For example, it used to be understood among. us that Morning Prayer, Litany, and Ante-Communion, all glued tightly together, constituted the proper worship of the Church on Sunday morning; that was known as "full-serv- ice," and it came to be regarded as one thing. It was not until the revision of 1892 that the statement was made in the Book itself that Morning Prayer, Litany, and Holy Communion "are distinct serv- ices, and may be used either separately or together, provided that no one of them be habitually disused." This fact, then, ex- plains the diversity of the rubrics concern- ing the Lord's Prayer; though we may still wonder why in our last revision this di- versity was not either explained, or done away with ; for it introduces more or less confusion into our practice.
It is contended by some liturgical scholars that the words "Divine Service" before the "Our Father" in Morning Prayer refer only to what used to be called the "choir offices," that is, Matins and
Evensong, which are said in the choir and not at the Altar; and that they do not in- clude the Communion service, nor the oc- casional offices, such as Baptism, Con- firmation, etc. And certainly the diversity of rubrics to which we have referred seems to justify that conclusion. If this be so, we must look to the rubric for our practice in cach case.
Now it is unquestionably true that the Lord's Prayer at the beginning of the Communion office, used to be in the olden time a part of the priest's private devo- tions, and was said by him in a low voice before the audible part began. Reading the rubric, therefore, with this under- standing, and on the supposition that the one in Morning Prayer does not prevail here, it would seem to be the intention that the old custom should be continued, and that "the Minister shall say the Lord's Prayer and the Collect following, the peo- ple kneeling" but not saying the words with him. This, at all events, is the way it is generally understood nowadays, and there are some people who follow the same rule in the Confirmation and Marriage services.

85
THE GOSPEL MESSENGER.
May 23rd. This, as will be observed by our readers, is the Church for which such vigorous soliciting has been done through our columns; and the fact of its consecra- tion is proof that the money was raised and the bills paid. There were present of the Clergy, besides the Bishop, the Rev. Messrs. Win. B. Clarke, Henry E. Hub- bard, Chas. W. MacNish and Harry Idle, and two Lay Readers, Messrs. Stevens and McConomy, of. Hobart College. Messrs. MacNish and Idle read Morning Prayer, and Messrs. Clark and Hubbard assisted in the Communion Service. The Church was well filled with people, and ten persons were confirmed at the same service, presented by the Rev. Mr. Hubbard. After it was over a bountiful luncheon was served by the ladies, in the basement of the Church, which is high and commodious and has been finished off for such, purposes.
ST. PHILIP'S, SYRACUSE .- The Rev. H. G. Coddington, D.D., Rector. Under the direction of Mr. Wilbur Q. Rogers, Lay Reader, an effort is being made to pay a mortgage indebtedness on St. Philip's Mission Church, Syracuse. The congrega- tion has already raised about two hundred dollars to apply on the debt, and the fol- lowing contributions have been made by others :
St. Mark's Church, Syracuse, $7.06; Associates of St. Mark's Church, Syra- euse, $2.00 ; Grace Church, Syracuse, Miss Marion D. Barnes, $2.00; Miss Gertrude Morecroft, $1.00; Mrs. E. B. Clarke, $1.00; Mrs. W. B. Hatch and Miss G. A. Hatfield, $5.00; Woman's Auxiliary, $5.00; Junior Aux., 1st Branch, $3.00; Mr. George T. Jack, $10.00; Mr. Richard Reed, Syracuse, $5.00; Miss Mary L. Lake, Tenafly, N. J., $10.00.

With this amount, the $200 from the Church Building Fund, the $450 in money and labor subscribed and paid in Kendaia, and the architect's bill $125, which was presented to the Church, the total cost of $2,712.95 has been met. Besides this the Committee have been able to pay the premium on the insurance. There only remains the $115 for the furnace, and in as much as the people besides maintaining the services are grading the lawn, painting the exterior, and must arrange to paint the inside, the Committee hopes that still some of those parishes, (many of them self-supporting,) which have not responded at all, will pledge to send something in offering or through the W. A. within the next six months. One parish has already pledged an offering and another W. A. has promised $4.00. In view of the fact that when the Bishop consecrated the Church on May 23rd, ten were confirmed, all those who have so generously contributed may be assured that they made gifts to a very promising work. The Committee desires to thank all who have responded so cheer- fully to this work.

the roll call. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The treasurer, Miss Cornell, presented her report, which was accepted. The secretary read the annual report of the Rev. Mr. Hayward, for Onondaga Mission, giving details of the work and gratefully acknowl- edlging the assistance the AAuxiliary had given him. A message from Miss Emery was read calling special attention to the apportionment fund, also the united offer- ing, and setting apart St. Matthew's Day, the 21st of September, as a day of special praver in behalf of the Church's work during General Convention. Gratifying reports of the work in every District were made, showing a total gain in boxes and money, of at least one thousand dollars. A most interesting report was read from the secretary of the Church Periodical Club, Miss Wood, showing that through 24 librarians 230 periodicals are regularly sent out.
The following resolution was unani- mously adopted :
"That we appoint Ascension Day as the day set apart for the Holy Communion Service and special intercession for the work of the Woman's Auxiliary, unless Maunday Thursday or some other day be appointed by Miss Emery."
A most interesting address was made by Miss Alice M. Clark upon the work in China, setting forth the great need of more women to work in that field. The Presi- dent, Mrs. Irish, made an earnest appeal to the women for the giving of self to the Auxiliary work.
The pledges for the coming year are: General Missions $570 00 Salary of Missionary at Onon- daga Reservation . 500 00
