Apos- tolic Delegate, who is the Consccrating-Bishop on this occa- sion, and the Archbishop-Elect, have spent the eve in fasting and prayer. The Ceremony takes place on the Feast of Pentecost, and in the Diocese to which the Archbishop-Elect has been pre- ferred. The Cathedral has two Altars specially prepared : — the High Altar, with its Cross and Candlesticks, and its Cre- dence-table near it, which is called for the day the Conse- crator's Altar; the other on the right of the Chancel, or Epistle side, for the Most Rev. Dr. Hannan. On the latter Altar are laid the Pontifical Vestments of the Archbishop- Elect, which are always ivJdte on the day of his Consecration, differing in this respect from those of the Consccrator and the other Assistant Bishops, who will be vested in red, the color of the Feast. Near the Vestments on the Altar are the two torches, the two loaves, and the two small barrels of wine, which the Archbishop-Elect will present to the Conse- c rating Bishop at the Offui tory. In the Chancel two thrones are erected, the one on the right for the Consecrator, that on the left for the Archbishop Elect of the Diocese. Between these two thrones, facing the Altar, arc arranged three seats for the Archbishop-Elect and his Assistant Bishops. On each side of the Chancel — in ])arallel lines — scats are arranged for the other Bishops present ; each being attended by his Chaplain.

As the Oath will have been adniini.stered already in tho Vestry, the Consecrator proceeds with the EX A MEN. The Order established of old by the Holy Fathers, teaches and commands that whoso is elected to the Episcopal Order siiall be beforehand diligently examined in .all charity, con- cerning the doctrine of tho iloly Trinity, and shall be (jues- tioned as to the divers relations and virtues suitable to this charge, and this practice must needs be maintained according to the warning of the Apostle, ^^ Lat/ hmds hadibj on no mtin.^' Both that he who is to be ordained may learn how it behoves him, when appointed to this dignity, to behave in the Church of God, and that they who lay hands upon him m;iy be I'ree from blame. In virtue of this authority and commiiiidment we now ask of thee, well-beloved ' 'other, in sincere charity, whether thou bo reauy, in so larasthy nature permits, to conform thy judgment ti) the maxims of Divine ocri|)ture ? The Archbishop-elect then slightly rising uncovers his liead, and replies ; — *' With my whole heart I am willing to conform thereto, and to obey it in all things." Conaecrator. — Wilt thou by word and example teach the people for whom thou art to be ordained, what thou learnest jrom the Divine Scriptures? At'chhp. -elect. — 1 will. Conaecrator. — Wilt thou reverently receive, teach and ob- fifirve the traditions of the orthodox Fathers,, as well as the Decretal letters and Constitutions of the llolv and Ai)ostolic See ?

The Celebrant, with his Ministers, and having the Ari- bishop-elect at his left hand, stands at the foot of the Altai*^ and bowing down before it, signs himself with the Sign o the Cross from the forehead to the breast, and says witli di? tinct voice : In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of tlit Holy Ghost.

The Celebrant, with his Ministers then proceeds to the Consecrating Throne, and the Archbishop-elect withdrawn, with his attendants, to his Altar, and having been there vest- ed with his Pontifical Vestments he reads the Mass as far as the Gospel, inserting the following Collect appropriate for the service of Consecration : — Bo Thou ])resent to our supplications, O Almighty Ood, that what is to be performed by our luiworthy Ministry, may bo completed by Thine elTectual power. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, &c. The Mass continues by the, Cdehrant.

Acts IT,, 1-1 L — When the days of Penteco.ft were accom- plished, they were altogether in one place : and suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a mighty wind coming, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them parted tongues as it were of lire. Order of the Consecration, and T/d it sat upon every one of them and they were all iilled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak with divers tongues, according as the Holy Ghost gave them to speak. Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, devout men out of every nation under heaven. And when this was nois- ed abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded in mind beciiuse that every man heard them speak in his own tongue. And they were all amazed, and wondered, saying; Behold are not all those that speak Galileans ; and how have we heard every man our own tongue wherein we were born ? Parthians, and Medes and Elamites, and inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphilia, Egypt, and the parts of Lybia, about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews also and Proselytes, Cretes and Arabians : we have heard them speak in our own tongues the wonderful works of God. Alleluia, alleluia. V. Send forth thy Spirit, and they shall be created ; and thou wilt renew tlie face of the earth. Allduia. V. {At tJiis V. all kneel down.) Come, O Holy Ghost, i^ll the hearts of thy faithful, and kinelle in them the fire of thy love. [While the Celebrant is reading the Epistle, the same is sung by the Subdeacon ; and when he concludes the Choir sing the Versicale " Emitte Spiritum tuum,'' or " Send forth Thy Spirit &c.''

And all things were made by him; and without him was made nothing that was made. In him was life, and tho life was tho light of men : and the light shined in darkness, and the darkness did imt comprehend it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness to bear testimony of the light that all men might believe through him. lie was not tho light, but was to give testimony of tho liglit. It was the trn light which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world. lie was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him to them he gave power to bo made the sons of God, to those that believe in his name ; who are born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of tho will of man, but of God. And the Word ivas made Jlesh, and dwelt amongst us. And we saw his glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten Son of the Father, full of grace an
