_Standing while the Lord's Prayer is read_ (Vol. ix., pp. 127. 257.).--The
congregation of the English Episcopal Chapel at Dundee stood during the
reading of the Lord's Prayer, the Ten Commandments, and the Song of the
Angels at the birth of Christ, when these occur in the order of morning
lessons. This congregation joined that of the Scottish Episcopalians
several years ago, and whether the practice is continued in the present
congregation I cannot say.
In St. Paul's Chapel, Edinburgh, York Place, the congregation stand at the
reading of the Ten Commandments in the fifth chapter of Deuteronomy, and
they chant "Glory be to thee, O God," on the giving out of the Gospel, and
"Thanks be to thee, O God," &c., after the reading of it. In the Communion
they sit during the reading of the Exhortation, "Dearly Beloved in the
Lord;" and it is but very lately that they have stood when repeating "Glory
be to God on high," &c., in the Post Communion.
