..."over us": indeed, over all of us. The second prayer is divided

let us . . . glory" is omitted. P. 199, line 2 from bottom, instead

ourselves, with our," etc. Michaelmas. P. 215, line 15 from bottom,

P. 216, lines 3 and 4 from top, should read: "graciously and
mightily curb his wickedness." P. 217, line 8 from top, instead of
"Anfall" ["attack/seizure"]: "Anlauf" ["onset"]. Reformation

is to be dropped. P. 220, line 2 from bottom, "daher" ["therefore"],
instead of the archaic "dahero." P. 221, lines 8 and 9 from top, it

For inclusion in the church Agenda, we recommend: 1. Forms: a. for
the laying of a church's cornerstone, b. for the dedication of a
church, c. for the dedication of a new schoolhouse, d. for the
dedication of a new cemetery, e. for the consecration of a bell,
f. for the consecration of an organ, g. for the installation of a
schoolteacher, h. for the installation of newly elected elders, i.
for funerals (in the home — in the church — at the graveside), all
of them, namely, following Fr. Lochner's "Liturgical Forms," but
shortened; 2. Intercession for the sick who request it; 3. Prayers:
a. a further general Sunday Prayer of the Church (see W. Löhe's
Agenda of 1844, pp. 24–26); b. a prayer for Thanksgiving Day
("Magazin" 31, 128; 32, 94, 127); c. a prayer for the Mission
Festival (Walther, "Goldkörner" [as printed; likely "Goldkörner"],
p. 72, or better: "Bayerischer Agendenkern" [Bavarian Core Agenda],
pp. 214–215). —

On the other hand, we do not consider forms for silver and golden
wedding anniversaries, the announcement of excommunication and
self-exclusion, the readmission of an excommunicated person, etc., to
be necessary, but wish instead, should the occasion arise, to refer
people to Lochner's "Liturgical Forms." Only the form found there —
somewhat abridged — for a read funeral service [*Leseleiche*], for
use when the pastor is absent or unable to attend (p. 109 ff.), we
still considered desirable to include.

— We consider it inadmissible to append a second or even a third
series of pericopes to the Agenda. But the traditional one shall
remain. The Passion History should be divided into 7 lessons rather
than 5. (1. "And when they had sung a hymn," etc., p. 137; 2. "But
the crowd," etc., p. 140; 3. "And the whole multitude," etc., p. 143;
4. "But Pilate called out," etc., p. 146; 5. "Then the soldiers
took," etc., p. 149; 6. "And when the sixth hour came," etc., p. 152;
7. "Afterward, in the evening," etc., p. 153.)

— Regarding the "Liturgical Appendix," we do believe that the
existing one should remain, only on p. 248 it should read: "to strong
faith toward Thee" (instead of "toward you" [singular familiar form]);
but because the manner of chanting the antiphons given there is
little used anymore, and is not exemplary either, the appendix should
be enlarged by including the two other chant settings for the Lord's
Prayer and the Words of Institution at Holy Communion found in
F. Lochner's "Hauptgottesdienst" [Chief Service] (pp. 241–246 and
250, 255), as well as the "Salutation" (pp. 132–133) and the "Amen"...
