Until  this  removal  became  so  common  a  habit,  tlie  universal
position  for  the  Celebrant  was  in  front  of  the  Altar  [fig.  1]  ;  and
when  tbe  removal  took  place,  the  relative  position  of  the  Table
and  tbe  C!elebrant  remained  tlie  same,  although  the  former  was
placed  "  table-mse,"  or  with  its  long  sides  par;Jlel  to  the  north
and  south  walls  of  tbe  Church  [fig.  2].  AVhen,  again,  the  Holy
Table  was  returned  to  its  ancient  place  at  the  east  eiid,  and  set
altar-wise,  many  of  the  Clergy  retained  the  position  with  reference
to  tbe  congregation,  though  not  with  reference  to  the  Table,
which  they  had  held  when  the  latter  stood  table-wise  in  tlie
Church  [tig.  8].
