A Confirmation Card is Presented with each copy of the book.
The object of the compiler has been to provide for communicants a Guide to the Blessed Sacrament, as complete, and at the same time as simple and concise, as possible.
The chief characteristic of the Manual is that it contains the entire Office for Holy Communion, including the Collects, Epistles, and Gospels, together with a suitable collection of Hymns; this completeness, obviating as it does the necessity for using several books, will, it is hoped, be found very convenient in these days, when the celebration of the Holy Communion as a separate service has become very general.
