      Numbered Prayer Book , ' by Canon George Venables . The Book of Common Prayer has , like the Biblepassed through many revisions

      , , but it has been reserved for the Year of Grace 1885 to witness the issue , iu both cases from the ¦ Oxford University Press , of two new editions ,

      the sole object of which is to simplify its practical use by congregations . The first of these books , as our readers may recollectwas described as

      , the ' Church Service Book for 1885 / the chief feature of its arrangement being the consecutive printingof the services which are ordinarily used in

      churches on Sunday morning and Sunday evening , the Psalms , and the Collect , Epistle , and Gospel being brought into their proper places , so that the

      book required no further effort than to turn over the pages , and no actual knowledge of the structure of the complete work . The second attempt to

      meet the needs of the young , the less educated , and the uninitiated has been made by Canon George Venables , Vicar of the parish of Great

      Yarmouth , whose experience as pastor of one of the largest churches in England , seating some thousands of worshippersmay be accepted « is

      conclusive on any point connected , with the practical details of the service . The canon , who is a leader in all movements for regaining the masses

      of the people , for educating children in Church principles , and for reuniting Nonconformists to the Church ^ ^ v ~ ^^ ^ , V has ^^ ^~~ been r ^^ ^^ ^ ¦¦ ¦ v *^ ™^ arguing ^ ¦¦ ^* ' ^ VV ^^ K ^^ ** *^ ^^ ^^ ^^ I ^^ K ^ and k ^^ H ^^^^ writing ' W ^^^ <** ^^ ^ ^ ^ HHI ^ k for ^>^ r tf ^¦ . many ^ .

      years in favour of some simplification of the Prayer Book , and he has now shown us what he believes will meet the case in his '

      Numbered Prayer Book .
