Cada conferencia y lectura indica su función. «En revisión» significa que todavía no consta la suscripción del docente a las Normas de Westminster o a las Tres Formas de Unidad; «Se lee como comparación» significa que el material enseña el texto estadounidense de 1788 de CFW 20.4, 23 o 31 o de la pregunta 109 del Catecismo Mayor, que la escuela lee junto al texto de 1647. No se ha quitado nada.
