The House of Deputies yesterday rati-
fed several important changes in the
Book OF Common Prayer, which now
await ratification by the House of
Bishops.
New Collect for Burial.
Among these was new collect for
the communion service for the burial of
the dead. This is the first time such a
service has been provided for in the
Episcopal ritual. The collect reads:

all souls in life; vouchsafe, we bcseech
Thee, to Thy whole church in paradise
and on earth, Thy light and Thy peace:
and grant that we, following the good
examples Of those who have .,arved
Thee here and are now at rest, may at
the last enter with them into Thine
amending joy; through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen"
The following new collect for Inde-

God through whose mighty power our
fathers won their liberties of old, grant,
we beseech Thee, that we and all the
people OF this land may have grace to

others do not. Very few, it is claimed
