The permission to use a form of presentation instead of, or in addition to, the Preface is likely to be widely welcomed. The other _addenda_ to this office, being apparently distasteful (for unlike reasons) to all the "schools of thoughts" in the Church, are likely to fail of acceptance; and on the whole may easily be spared. RESOLUTION XVIII. _Visitation of the Sick_. The proposed Commendatory Prayer, though in some of its features strikingly felicitous, is open to formal improvement. The addition of a short _Litany of the Dying_ would be appreciated by those whose ministry is largely exercised among the sick. RESOLUTION XX. _Burial of the Dead_. By far the most important section of this Resolution is the one providing for the insertion of special features when the office is used at the burial of children. The provision, or at least the suggestion, of a more appropriate Lesson would be wise, but for the rest, the office is almost all that could be wished. A recent critic[88] raises the question, "Why single out infants alone for a special service? Why not forms for rich men and poor men--old men and maidens--widows and orphans?" And yet our Lord Jesus Christ did single out little children in a very striking and wonderful manner, and drew a distinction between them and us which may well justify our treating their obsequies with a peculiar tenderness. Even Rome, _Mater dura infantum_ as she has been sometimes thought, is studious to consult in this point the natural affections of the bereaved, and appoints a funeral mass distinct from that appointed for the dead in general. Bishop Seabury felt the need of a rite of this sort and prepared one, but whether it was ever in actual use among the clergy of Connecticut the writer is not informed. Many, very many, since Seabury's day, have felt the same need, and it is safe to say that no one feature of _The Book Annexed_ has enjoyed so universal a welcome as this rightful concession to the demands of the parental heart. CONCLUSION. The survey of corrigenda is now complete. The list looks like a long one, but really the points noted are few compared with those which have passed unchallenged. Here and there in the Resolutions that have not been considered are words or phrases that admit of improvement, and which in an actual and authorized re-review by a Committee of Conference would undoubtedly be improved. The bulk of the work has, for a period of three years, stood the incessant fire of a not always friendly criticism far better than could have been anticipated by those who in the first instance gave it shape. The difficulties of the task have been immense. That they have not all of them been successfully overcome is clear enough, but that they were faced with an honest purpose to be just and fair, and that this purpose was clung to persistently throughout, is a credit which Churchmen of the next generation will not withhold from those who sought to be of service to them.
