THE PRAYER BOOK
(Australian & N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, Feh. 15. The House of Clergy has completed the revision of the Prayer Book. Several close divisions were recorded, one amendment being defeated by 82 to 74. It is proposed to forbid lights or other signs denoting that the Sacrament is reserved, the object being to prevent the Sacrament becoming the focus for worship. A motion was carried by 93 to S-L requesting the Bishops to introduce rubrics preventing the worship of consecrated elements during public worship. The Dean of Canterbury, in seconding, said that many voted in favour of continuous reservation, hut were anxious to ensure that the elements were only used for the Communion of the sick. The Rev. Gotto, on behalf of the Anglo-Catholics, denounced the motion as a denial of the doctrine of the Real Presence. The House carried by 79 to 57 a motion affirming that the alternative Communion did not change the Church’s doctrine. It also agreed to a motion declaring it permissible to attend Communion without fasting.
