11. Short Form for Emergency Baptism (on last page)

We hope that by the use of the proper paper, thin but not
allowing the type on the other side to show through, the new hymn-
book will not bulk any larger than the present one.

We now offer the material to be included in the new hymn-
book, also the new title, exclusive of the Introits, Collects, Psalms,
tables, indexes, etc. and with the hymns placed alphabetically
under a slightly revised series of rubrics. Our previously published
reports are necessarily supplementary as well as the supplement
given at the conclusion of this report. The numbers before the
hymns are those of our present hymn-book. Those in parentheses,
after the first line, are the numbers of our manuscript pages.
Where more than one tune is suggested, the first choice will be
given with the text, the second as reference below the hymn in
parentheses. Where two tunes are suggested, both will be given
with the text. ;

Nore. — The material mentioned in this paragraph is omitted in the
Proceedings because it is assumed that these suggestions have been sent
to all pastors and teachers for their reaction.

mendations for the approval of Synod:

faithful and efficient work of the Committee on Hymnology and
Liturgics.

and to bring it to the best possible conclusion.

which is to be the closing date.
