. 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: oe

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.
