 >iona!l\-. of •labblinir over tlie earlier and jiei-haps somi< of the iihvsI 
 emphatic parts of liie veis(>, and tlieii of makin.i:' a loii-r ])an-e when 
 no paii-e slionld be made, ladore drawling- the riMiiaiiider of the Cliant. 
 Ill this way, too niucli importance! is jiiveii (o tho tunc, and too liltle 
 to the words. 'I'he acc(Mit^ of the wokIs and llie aceonts of tlie Chant 
 sliouid tally as much a- possible. 
 
 In order to i>roduc(; j^realer >iiiootliiiess in chaulinti'. the last ac- 
 cented s\ Ualiie on the recitalion-nolt! >liould fm-m the comiueneemont 
 of an iniajiinary bar. b(>fore the mediation and cadence. ^ The chief 
 object of this isto ^et rid of the uiimcanini;' pause which i- apt ti> bo 
 made before ila^ lune (tf liie latter part of the Chant is taken up. 
 The recited part sliould be -un^r a- nearlN' as may be at tlie same lale 
 with tho rest, and the worcN >liould be enunciated wilh an accent 
 ami emphasis similar lo that which an intelli,2-ent reader >hould adopt 
 In ordinary readill^,^ There is no reason why the recited jjortioii 
 should not be as reverently sunj.'- as the terminalion. Lot the; iiieau- 
 'njr and the various accents be attended lo; let commas bo regarded; 
 and let breath be taken at all the semicolons.

 David hast tauirht us to '• sinjr and jrive ])raisewith the best membev

 with clean hands and pnii" hearts, we may ofl'ei a service acceptable 
 to Thee, through Christ our Lord. Amen. 
 
 Keep far from us, O Searcher of all hearts, vain and wandering 
 thoughts; enable us to avoid all conceit of our own skill, jealousy '.yi 
 others, and carelessness in onrduty; and may we ever rest content 
 with the good and plea.sant work ol'evermore praising Thee. Amen.
