The Methodist Church Conference OF 1850
appointed committee TO revise the Ritual
They have just made their report. The prin-
cipal changes are slight notifications of the
old Ritual 10 regard to Baptism. the Lords
Supper, Matrimony, Burial OF the Dead and
Ordinations. A form for the dedication OF
churches was added. The people are also re-
quested to join audibly in the Lords Prayer

spond to the prayers of the Ritual. The new
Ritual gives rather mere of form, and requires
more active participation of the people in
the services.
