AN ALTERNATIVE ORDER HOW THE PSALTER
IS APPOINTED TO BE READ (1927)
PSALMS to be read at Morning and at Evening
Prayer are appointed for every Sunday in the year, and for certain other
Holy-days. Otherwise the Psalter with a few omissions (which are noted
as they occur) will be read through in order once every month as is
appointed.
Whensoever Proper Psalms are appointed, then the Psalms of ordinary
course for the day of the month shall be omitted.
On week days (unless Proper Psalms are provided) shall be read the
Psalms for the day of the month, as they are appointed, for Morning
and Evening Prayer.
And, whereas January, March, May, July, August, October, and December
have one-and-thirty days apiece; It is ordered, that on the last day
of anyone of the said months being an ordinary week day shall be read
the Psalms assigned to the 30th day, or else the Psalms of the monthly
course omitted on one of the Sundays in that month; So that the Psalter
may begin again the first day of the next month ensuing.
And, whereas the 119th Psalm is divided into twenty-two portions, and
is over-long to be read at one time; It is so ordered, that at one time
shall not be read above four or five of the said portions.
And at the end of every Psalm, and of every such part of the 119th
Psalm, shall be repeated this Hymn,
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the
Holy Ghost;
Answer. As it was in the beginning, is now,
and ever shall be : world without end. Amen.
Psalms have also been selected for use on various occasions, and on
such occasions one or more at the discretion of the Minister may be
read at Morning and Evening Prayer in place of the Psalms of the Day.
Upon occasions to be approved by the Bishop, other Psalms may, with
his consent, be substituted for the Psalms of the Day or for those which
are appointed in the Table of Proper Psalms.

THE ORDER HOW THE REST OF HOLY SCRIPTURE
IS APPOINTED TO BE READ
THE Old Testament is appointed for the
First Lessons at Morning and Evening Prayer, so as the most part thereof
will be read every year once, as is appointed.
The New Testament is appointed for the Second Lessons at Morning and
Evening Prayer, so as the most part will be read every year twice.
For Sundays and Holy-days, Proper Lessons are appointed both from the
Old Testament and from the New Testament. Whenever Proper Lessons are
appointed, then the Lessons of the Ordinary Course shall be omitted
for that time.
On occasions to be approved by the Bishop, other Lessons may, with
his consent, be substituted for those which are here appointed.
To know what Lessons shall be read every day (according to the Lectionary
of 1871), look for the day of the month in the Calendar following, and
there ye shall find the chapters and portions of chapters that shall
be read for the Lessons, both at Morning and Evening Prayer, except
only the Moveable Feasts, which are not in the Calendar, and the Immoveable,
where there is a blank left in the column of Lessons, the Proper Lessons
for all which days are to be found in the Table of Proper Lessons.
If Evening Prayer is said at two different times in the same place
of worship on any Sunday (except a Sunday for which alternative Second
Lessons are specially appointed in the Table), the Second Lesson at
the second time may, at the discretion of the Minister, be any chapter
from the four Gospels, or any Lesson appointed in the Table of Lessons
from the four Gospels.
