Excerpt from Report of the Committee on Prayer Book Revision Given these two conceptions, therefore, of a Choir Office as the impersonal voice of the Church, and of the legitimacy of the mystical interpretation as applied to the ancient odes which Christianity has inherited from. Judaism, Catholic minded Christians do not find, and never have found, the slightest difficulty in reciting the Psalter in its entirety in the Divine Office. But we have to face the fact that there are many members of the Church of England who have never heard of the mystical interpretation, and know nothing of the distinction between a Choir Office and a hearty popular' service. The argument which we have developed above, convincing as we believe it to be to those who are familiar with the ideas, the atmosphere, and the ethos of Catholic Christianity, falls on deaf ears when addressed to those who think of Morning Prayer as the chief service of Sunday morning. We cannot suddenly plant the ideas of an Office, and of the mystical use of the Psalter, in the minds of such per sons; we must rely upon the gradual and silent diffusion of Catholic ideas and feeling to bring about this result. Whilst, therefore, protesting as strongly as possible against the mutilation. Of the Psalter, we recommend that we should be content with claiming liberty for ourselves to use the Psalter as it stands, and - frankly as what we hope will be a temporary measure, and for the hardness of men's hearts -should put up with its use by others-in a mutilated form. We have therefore made suggestions in regard to Section. 4 of the 'schedule' which would have this effect. Once more, it is a question of having faith in the essential right ness and reasonableness of Catholic instincts as destined in the end to prevail.
