Message:: [QUOTE="yourturntoloveit, post: 20303, member: 57"]'Nuff_Said, I'm curious about the book Afantiques identified as a Lutheran Hymnal. Does it also contain the "services" and/or service elements (i.e., Matins, Vespers, Order of Confession, Order of Baptism of Infants, Order of Baptism of Adults, Order for Confirmation, Order for Public Confession, Order of Marriage, Order for Burial of the Dead, etc.)? The earliest "Common Service Book with Hymnal" [Lutheran]  I have is 1917. I collect old hymnals from different religious sects. I also have a small hardback book entitled Song and Service Book for Ship and Field  Army and Navy, United States Government Printing Office Washington 1942 (although A. S. Barnes and Company Inc. held the copyright in 1941).  It contains a Protestant section, a Catholic section, and a Jewish section. It also has two sections entitled "Military Funerals Navy" and "Military Funerals Army," with detailed line drawings as well as notes regarding who proceeds first, second, etc. and the final placement of personnel (bugler etc.) and equipment (caisson etc.) of funeral processions entering the chapel, leaving the chapel, entering the cemetery and leaving the cemetery.[/QUOTE]
