43 Bond Street Opp. Boss Biggins & Co.
NEW YORK, May T.-The book of
common worship lias just been published
with the authority of the Presbyterian
general assembly. For three years a
special committee on forms and services
of the general assembly, headed by the
Rev. Dr. Henry Van Dyke, has been
working on this new prayer book. The
approval of the general assembly to the
innovation was not secured without a
struggle, as many Pre-byterians object
ed to anv "form'' in the church.
It is expected by l'ivbyterian lead
ers that -ome churches will refrain
from using the new book, but in the
Ka-t and in the large cities of the
country generally it is expected to be
largely adopted.
In many particulars the book of com
mon worship has points of .imi)arity to
the Episcopal book of common prayers.
The marriage ceremony in the new
book omits the word "obey" to which
so many objected and it also omits the
reference to "Worldly goods," with
which the man and the woman in some
marktge forms "endowed" each other.
It is- noted that although the book
was, of course planned long before the
,San Francisco calamity, one of the
prayers it contains is especially appli
cable to that disaster, and shows how
carefully the book has been planned to
meet unusual circumstance-. The pray
er reads:
"Almighty God, who are a very pres
ent help in time of trouble; let not the
heart of they people fail when fear
eometh, but do Thou sustain and com
fort them until the calamities be over
passed and since Thou knowest the
cauce and reason why this grievous dis
aster of earthquake and fire hath fal
len upon men to so do Thou heal the
hint and wounded, console the bereaved,
and afflicted, protect the innocent and
helpless and deliver any who are still
in peril, for Thy great mercy sake.
Amen."

present situation, where three janitor
aiv employed by the different bodies
who occupy the building, is unsatisfac
tory, and the source of constant fric
tion", ami for this cause one jerson could
Utter do the work. There was consid
erable discussion regarding tho com
munication of the commission, and
finally the matter was referred to the
committee on public property to confer
with the water commission and endeav
or to come to some satisfactory ar
rangement. As it now stands a major

favor of having one head janitor and an
assistant to aid him in his labors,
