gland to omit words from Morning ser
wee, Evening Service, Communion Ser
vice, Marriage Service, and, under Ger
tain conditions, the Burial Service. This p ap-
plies only to words importing doctrine and the
usage is so universal that ''mos pro lge pre-
walls. The right OF private Judgment may bc
exercised on the doctrine OF Baptismal kegenera-
tion, but not upon tho doctrine OF the Dlviplty.
He considers Episcopacy matter of ecclealase-
cal arrangement, and says his views are those OF
fully one-han the Bishops and clergy of En-
gland.
on TIE PART OF coNp1A1SASTs,
but little evidence appears IN this part OF the
case they take the grouhd that the clVil court
has nothing to do with it. Judge Holman says,
however, that no Presbyter has the night to
omit word because, in his Judgment, 1t Ii un-
material; and Dr.. Adams agrees with him.
Bishop Odenhemer testiies that the omission
of single letter from the creeds made, ard etlh
makes, the ofrense Of heresy (referring to the
controversy over homolousion aud honoouS1o,s
of ~ the same and Of ''ike substance with
the Father).
BISHOP wHITEHousE,
called in rebuttal testified that many OF the ser
vices we're discretionary, and particularly in the
Anglican uye. Take the English Marriage Ser
vice, for instance, where the procreatlon Of chill
dren was alluded to. This WAS omitted where
the uge Of the parties rendered it lnapplicab!c.
Many services carried within themselves the

Visitation OF the Sick Was rarely used. It WAS
intended to be confined to cases OF those about
or appointed to die, and OF course not Senerau9
applicable. There WAS also tho distinction to be
observed between public aud pirate services,
and this should be borne in mind IN the e1amt-
nation Of the Iubrics.
Dr. ". B. NICHOLSON,
for defendant, testified: There IL no 10" IN tne
Protestant Episcopal Church making the omls-

not, there is little room for doubt or debate
Take. for instance, the word ''regenerated' IN
the thanksgiving after the baptism has been
nor hinders the efficacy Of an act already done,
whether We speak OF it afterwards in one phrase
ology or another. And the correctness OF
this view is attested BY. the office for
the Private Baptism OF Children, wherein TINS
word regenerated" is omitted, and yet the
baptism is expressly pronounced in the rubrio to
be q slawful and sufficient ' baptism. And, in
case the sick child thus baptized should live. it

number Of the clergy of this Church arc in tho
habit Of ornitting the word .rcEene1ate" This
was so in the Dioceses Of New York, Long
These omissions are tolerated by the Bishops

Or. Newton, Prof. McElhinney, and others
testified upon this subject.
