It would perhaps be most consonant with the intention of the Church, if the preacher Avore a surplice when preaching after the morning Service, and a gown when the sermon is in the evening. Upon the whole, I am hardly prepared to give any positive direction on this point for this par- ticular diocese, although it is certainly desirable that uniformity of practice should prevail in the Church at large. A more important point than that ...of the dress of the officiating clergyman, is the manner in which he reads the Common Prayer.
