ON THE RITE OF - CONSECRATION OF CHURCHES, ESPECIALLY IN THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND. MY interest in the subject to which I have the privilege to call the attention of the Church Historical Society is naturally in great measure one of a practical character. Being called as a Bishop to consecrate Churches, some of them of considerable importance, and finding myself without authoritative direction as. to the rite to be followed, I have almost inevitably had to consider what history might suggest on the subject. Two occasions especially have stimulated this inquiry, the consecration of, Marlborough College Chapel, on Michaelmas Day, 1886, and that of the Collegiate Church of St. George at Jerusalem, on St. Lukes Day, 1898, from which I have recently returned. Both opportunities have been used by me for the Revision of the current Form and Order which has come down to us from the beginning of the last century, the first revision for generalDiocesan use being published in 1887, the second in the present year 1898. The latter, I may remark, was used for the first time a few weeks before my journey to Jerusalem, at the consecration of the beautiful new Church built by Viscount Portman at his Dorset home in the parish of Bryanston. Our Sarum form, differs from all others that I have as yet seen in containillg certain appropriate music, which I owe to the kindness of Precentor Carpenter and Mr. W. S. Bambridge, organist of Marlborough College, for which part of it was composed in 1886. In these revisions I have had the assistance of able liturgists, amongst whom I may especially name Dr. W. Bright, of Christ Church, Oxford, nIr. Brightman, of the Pusey House, Mr. Charles Druitt, Vicar of Whitchurch Canonicorum, and my brother, Christopher Wordsworth, now Rector of S. Peters, 3Iarlborough. The final responsibility, however, has rested solely with myself. It is mainly with the view of setting before jou the principles on which this revision seems to me to rest, and of encouraging a like revision in other Dioceses which may some day, I hope, lead to the adoption of a worthy and truly characteristic rite by the Church of England as a body that I have gladly accepted the offer made to me through your Chairman. He has, I may remark, himself studied the subject, and given me assistance in preparing this lecture by communicating to me the contents of the important collection of consecration forms at Lambeth.
