CHURCH HANDY DICTIONARY.

_Additions and Corrections_.

ALTAR CLOTH, p. 3 add--
This is the modern Roman sequence of colours, but there is another
more truly belonging to the English Church, viz., the Sarum, in
which only _Red_ and _White_ are used.

HERESY, p. 53, line, for "not taught" read "_formally condemned_."

MIRACLES, p. 69, at the end, dele. and add--
, which latter deals with certain specious arguments adduced by
these writers against the _a priori_ possibility of a miracle
taking place.

PRESENCE, REAL, p. 81, add,--
Bishop Harold Brown says, in his history of Art. 28, "The
doctrine of a real, spiritual presence is the doctrine of the
English Church," and quotes the following passage from Jer.
Taylor: "The result of which doctrine is this: it is bread,
and it is Christ's Body. It is bread in substance, Christ in
the Sacrament; and Christ is as really given to all that are
truly disposed, as the symbols are: each as they can; Christ
as Christ can be given; the bread and the wine as they can; and
to the same real purpose to which they were designed."

The Article referred to above states, "The Body of Christ is
given, taken, and eaten, in the Supper, only after an heavenly and
spiritual manner. And the mean whereby the Body of Christ is
received and eaten in the Supper is Faith."
