For Days of Fasting and Thanksgiving, appointed by the Civil or Ecclesiastical Authority, and for other special occasions for which no Service or Prayer hath been provided in this Book, the Bishop may set forth such form or forms as he shall see fit, in which case none other shall be used. In the prescribed services of this Church, prayers may be used, taken from the Service Books authorized by any Church in communion with this Church; provided the Order for the Administration of the Sacraments and other Rites set forth by this Church shall not be varied. NOTE: That in the directions for the several Services in this Book it is not intended by the use of any particular word denoting vocal utterance to prescribe the tone or manner of their recitation. Mod. (4) Make the following alterations concerning the Psalter: a. Amend the directions entitled THE ORDER HOW THE PSALTER IS APPOINTED TO BE THE USE OF THE PSALTER In places where it is convenient, the Psalter shall be read through once every month. The Minister shall, on the days for which they are appointed, or on the eves thereof, use one or more of the Proper Psalms, as set forth in the Table of Proper Psalms. But Note, That on other days, instead of reading from the Psalter, as divided for Daily Morning and Evening Prayer, he may read one or more of the Psalms for the Day, or one or more of the Psalms from the Selections set forth by this Church. And Note further, that in the case of a Psalm which is divided into sections, the Minister may use a section or sections of such Psalm. b. Strike out the Table of Proper Psalms on Certain Days and the Table of Selections of Psalms following The Order how the Psalter is appointed to be read, and substitute for them the Tables of Psalms proposed hereafter in this Report. (5) Amend the directions entitled THE ORDER HOW THE REST OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURE IS APPOINTED TO BE READ, page viii, by inserting in the last paragraph thereof after the words "Charitable Collections" the words "and on other special occasions," and omitting the word "and" before "on occasions," in the second line.
