ed:to bind them in one volume.

Your ‘Committee was ready to publish in pamphlet form a re-
jto dur churches on the new material added to the Liturgy and
nd and on the more important changes made, but the growing
shortage and the high cost of printing and mailing to all
Pastors and teachers in the Synodical Conference caused us to wait.

‘hardly be overestimated.
