In Durham Cathedral, on Sept. 5, 1850, at the Anniversary of the Sons of
the Clergy, the congregation rose simultaneously on the occurrence of the
Lord's Prayer in the lesson. I remember also that the same custom was
observed at Trinity Church, Chelsea, during the incumbency of the Rev.
Henry Blunt. Where the Bidding Prayer enjoined by the 55th Canon is used
(that, by-the-way, being the only authorised pulpit prayer), it is usual I
believe for the people to stand during the Lord's Prayer; the preacher then
teaching us to pray as our Lord taught His disciples. The short doxology at
the end of the Gospel, to which MR. ELLACOMBE refers at p. 257., is common
in the north of England.
