ents to all parts of the world to make fresh
converts. The practice of polygamy they justify by their doctrine
concerning "spiritual wives." They have published a "Creed," in
which they profess their belief in the Holy Trinity, in Salvation
through Christ, in the necessity of the Sacraments and the ordinary
means of grace. They further believe that the miraculous gifts of
the Spirit continue. They believe in the word of God recorded in
the Bible, and in the Book of Mormon. They look for the restoration
of the Jews, and expect a millennium. They have 82 congregations
in England.

MORNING PRAYER The _construction_ of the Morning and Evening
Services is so similar that they will both be considered under
this heading. It will be noticed that the Services recognise
distinctly what may be called God's part and man's part in the
communion of worship. They open by the message of God to His
people, calling for penitence and promising forgiveness, which
is met by the response of the Confession. Next pardon is pronounced
in God's Name, which naturally awakens in the pardoned soul the
outburst of Praise and Thanksgiving in the Lord's Prayer, the
Psalms and the Canticles. Then the voice of God is again heard
in the Lessons, and His revelation is accepted by the response
of faith in the Creed. Lastly, in the sense of His grace and the
knowledge of His will, we turn to Prayer for ourselves and for
others, and end with the commendation of all to His blessing.

Many parts of the Morning and Evening Service are considered under
their own particular names, but the history of the rest is given
here.

The _Introductory Sentences_, from the Psalms, the Prophets, and
New Testament, are taken from old Lent Services. The _Exhortation_,
1552, was composed partly from the preceding sentences, and partly
from ancient forms. The _Confession_, 1552, is derived from old
forms.

The _Absolution_, like the previous part of the service, was added
in 1552. In the Rubric, the words "Remission of sins" were added
by the Hampton Court Conference in 1604, to meet the objection
that the word _Absolution_ was popish. In 1661 the word _Priest_
was substituted for "Minister," showing that a deacon may not
read the Absolution.

With the _Lord's Prayer_ the old Latin Service begins. The Rubric
directs it to be said with an "audible voice," because formerly
it was said inaudibly, to keep it from the ears of the unbaptized.
