THE TAIN OF THE DAY

.'The Churchn1an' publishes letter from
George Zabrfskie. prominent New York
layman Of the Episcopal Church. in which
he discusses the proposition, defeated at
the Cincinnati convention, to change the
Church's name. and suggests this as title
page for the PRAYER Book: THE Book of
Common Prayer and Administration Of the
Sacramento and other Rites and Ceremonies
of the HOLY Catholic Church according to
the Use Of the Episcopal Church in the
United States of America" Mr.. Zabriskie
adds this argument: "Tf the title page of
the PRAYER Book were thus amended 1t
would carry our thoughts from our own
Protestant F;piscopa lanism to the cathc
Iicitv Of the church universal; and our
sacraments and ceremonies would be prop
erly STYLED sacraments and ceremonies of
the Catholic Church

Donelson. The reading took only few |
minutes, and then some one near me |
started to sing The Battle Hymn The |
tune was taken up, and pretty soon that |
great mass of soldiers was singing. | |
never heard such music before or since. |
and I'm sure that the men who took |
part in that impromptu demonstration |
never forgot the occasion

DAYS later a New York man found a COM |
plete set. ali the denominations from |

years ago says that they are worth so
much to him that he will not embarrass the |
