The collects for the Lenten season have been re-arranged, and
new ones were added and given headings to indicate their content..
New collects for use with the Seven Words were also added.

In the collects for the church year, the cross references to
other collects were dropped. These collects will be printed out in
full, so as to eliminate paging back and forth during the service.

In the History of our Lord’s Suffering and Death the Scrip-
tural references have been added in the margin. ;

Your Committee has made a careful study of the style and
form in which the Liturgy and Agenda should be printed, With °
the help of the facilities of Concordia Publishing House we have ~:
been able to select a large open type that will be legible even in —
a dimly lighted chancel. Concordia Publishing House is ready to |
' print all rubrics in red as recommended by the Committee and to
use a sturdy paper that will take notations in ink.

In keeping with the best traditions of our Church, we recom-
mend the publication as follows:

Volume I: The Liturgy, containing all the liturgical material
now in The Lutheran Hymnal and the prayers for festival and other
occasions. ;

Volume II: The Agenda, containing the forms for Baptism,
Confirmation, Marriage, etc.

Volume III: The Lectionary, containing the Epistles, Graduals,
and Gospels; the Passion Story; and the Psalter. .

These volumes will be uniform in format, type, and ‘binding,
but not in thickness,

We recommend that the binding be in one of the liturgical
colors and that Concordia Publishing House be asked to provide
slip covers in the other liturgical colors for those who desire to
use them.

We recommend that for those who do not wish the Liturgy
