hands, eternal in the heavens. And to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be glory and praise, world without end. Amen. The service shall conclude with a Doxology and Benediction. NOTE. The Central Conference of Southern Asia is authorized to prepare and translate into the vernaculars simplified and adapted forms of such parts of the Ritual as may be deemed necessary, such portions to receive the sanction of the Board of Bishops. APPENDIX NOTE.-The matter contained in the Appendix to the Discipline is sufficiently important to justify publication. Much of it is taken from the General Conference Journals, and is therefore the action of the General Conference. Some portions have been here inserted by specific direction; other portions are suggestive and useful, such as Post Office Addresses, Administrative Boards, Forms, and the Rules of Order of the General Conference. The Courses of Study have been prepared under the authority of the General Conference, and are inserted for convenient reference. While unnecessary changes have been avoided, students of the Book of Discipline will note with pleasure a more distinct separation between THE CONSTITUTION and the LEGISLATION; and also the reference by paragraphs (¶¶) instead of pages in both the CONTENTS and the INDEX. The statistical scheme has been greatly simplified and improved by action of the authorized Committee on Statistical Forms; and the Rules of Order have been restated by the Committee on Rules of Order appointed by the General Conference. Our study of its Constitution and statutory enactments has deepened our love and strengthened our respect for the Methodist Episcopal Church, and we commend to the Ministry and Membership this new edition of the Discipline.
