the grave. Goods sunk beneath the ocean's tide Emerging on its surface ride, And to their owners back are driven,

By virtue of thy prayers to heaven.

If, here, on earth, such

things thou didst, Now heavenly spirits plac'd amidst ; Much greater helps thou canst afford By praying for us to the Lord.

Thou ever One and ever Three! The glorious triune Deity!

Hear Contius' prayers, and grant that we May reign with thee eternally. Amen.

T that time: Jesus said to his disciples: I am the true vine, and my father is the husbandman. Every branch in me, that beareth not fruit, he will take away : and every one that beareth fruit he will cleanse it, that it may bring forth more fruit. You are already clean upon account of the word I have spoken to you. Abide in me; and I will abide in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide on the vine; so neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit; for without me you can do nothing. If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch" and wither, and they shall gather him up, and cast him into the fire, and he burneth. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you; you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.

EPISTLE. Ephes. iv. 7. 13.

RETHREN; To every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore the scripture saith: Ascending on high, he led captivity captive; and gave gifts to men. And that he ascended, what is it, but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended, is the same also who ascended above all the heavens, that he might fulfill all. And he appointed some Apostles, and some Prophets, and others Evangelists, and others Pastors and teachers, for the perfecting the saints, for the functions of the ministry, for the edification of the body of Christ; till we all meet in the unity of faith, and of knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the age of the fullness of Christ.

But all these

T that time: Jesus said to his disciples: These things I command you, that you love one another. If the world hate you, know it hated me before you. If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember my words which I spoke to you; servant is not greater than his master. If they love persecuted me, they will persecute you also: if they have kept my word, they will keep yours also. things they will do to you on account of my name; because they know not him that sent me. If I had not come, and spoke to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. He that hateth me, hateth also my Father. If I had not done among them the works that no other man hath done, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen, and hateth both me and my Father; that the words may be fulfilled, which are written in their law: They have hated me without cause. CREDO.
