 Onr Father who art in heaven, hallowed 
 be Thy Name. Thj kingdom come. Thy 
 will bo done, on earth as it is in heaven. 
 Give us this day our daily bread, and> for- 
 give us our trespasses, as we forgive those 
 who trespass against us. And lead us not 
 into temptation ; but deliver us from evil. 
 For Thine is the kingdom, and the jDower, 
 and the glory forever and ever. Amen.

 O Thou eternal, immortal, and invisible 
 God : we would desire to come into Thy 
 presence, at this time, with grateful hearts, 
 to render thanks and praise for the wonder- 
 ful display of Thy goodness and mercy. Be 
 Thou pleased, O God, to be with Thy ser- 
 vants who are now assembled in Thy name ; 
 lift upon each one of us the hght of Thy 
 countenance ; defend us from the evil in- 
 tentions of our enemies, while traveling the 
 journey of life ; and when we shall finally 
 come into Thy presence, to be freed from 
 the chains of sin, and the Sdck-cloth of re- 
 pentance, be Thou merciful unto us, O God, 
 not according to our deserts, but according 
 
 35
 
 to our necessities ; and Thine shall be the 
 praise, forever and ever. Amen.

 Reading of Scripture, 
 
 Now in the second year of their coming 
 nnto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the 
 second month, began Zerubabbel, the son of 
 Shealtiel, and Jesliua, the son of . Jozadak, 
 and the remnant of their brethren, the 
 priests and Levites, and all they that w^ere 
 come out of the captivity nnto Jerusalem : 
 and appointed the Levites, from twenty 
 years old and upw^ard, to set forward the 
 work of the house of the Lord. Then stood 
 Jesliua, wdth his sons and his brethren, 
 Kadmiel, and his sons, the sons of Judali, 
 together, to set forw^ard the w-orkmen in the 
 house of God ; the sons of Henedad, with 
 their sons and brethren, the Levites. And 
 when the builders laid the foundation of the 
 temple of the Lord, thy set the priests in 
 their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites, 
 
 41
 
 the sorfcs of Asaph, with cymbals, to j^i'aise 
 the Lord, after the ordmance of David, king 
 of Israel. And they sung together by 
 course, in praising and giving thanks unto 
 the Lord, because he is good, for his mercy 
 endureth forever toward Israel. And all the 
 people shouted with a great shout when they 
 praised the Lord, because the foundation of 
 the house of the Lord was laid. Ezra iii. 
 8—11. 
 
 Now when the adversaries of Judah and 
 Benjamin heard that the children of the 
 captivity builded the temple unto the Lord 
 God of Israel, then they came to Zerub- 
 babel, and to the chief of the fathers, and 
 said unto them. Let us build with you ; 
 for we seek your God as ye do ; and we do 
 sacrifice unto him, since the days of Esar- 
 haddon, king of Assur, which brougLt us up 
 hither. But Zerubbabel and Jeshua, and 
 the rest of the chief of the fathers of Israel, 
 said unto them, ye have nothing to do with 
 us to build an house unto our God ; but we 
 ourselves together Avill build unto the Lord 
 God of Israel, as king Cyrus, the king of 
 Persia, hath commanded us. Then the peo- 
 
 12
 
 i 
 
 pie of the land weakened the hands of the 
 people of Judah, and troubled them in 
 building, and hired counsellors against 
 4hem, to frustrate their purpose, all the days 
 of Cyrus, king of Persia, even until the reign 
 of Darius, king of Persia. And in the reign 
 of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reigu, 
 wrote they unto him an accusation against 
 the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem. 
 And in the days of Artaxerzes wrote Bish- 
 1am, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of 
 their companions, unto Artaxerxes, king of 
 Persia ; and the writing of the letter was 
 written in the Syrian tongue, and inter- 
 preted in the Syrian tongue : E-ehum, the 
 Chancellor, and Shimshai, the scribe, wrote 
 a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes, 
 the king, in this sort : This is a copy of the 
 letter that they sent unto him, even uuto 
 Artaxerxes, the king : — Thy servants, the 
 men on this side the river, and at such a 
 time. Be it known unto the king, that the 
 Jews, which came up from thee to us, are 
 come into Jerusalem, building the rebel- 
 hous and the bad cit}-, and have set up the 
 walls thereof, and joined the foundations. 
 
 43
 
 Be it known now unto the king, that if this 
 city be builJecl, and the walls set tip again 
 then will they not pay toll, tribute and cus- 
 tom, and so thou shalt endamage the rev-* 
 enue of the kingvS. Now because we have 
 maintainence from the king's palace, and it 
 was not meet for us to see the king's dis- 
 honor, therefore have we sent and certified 
 the king ; that search may be made in the 
 book of the records of thy fathers ; so that 
 thou find in the book of the records, and 
 know that this city is a rebellious city, and 
 hurtful unto kings and provinces, and that 
 they have moved sedition wdthin the same 
 of old time ; for which cause w^as this city 
 destroyed. Wo certify the king, that if this 
 city be builded again, and the walls thereof 
 set up, by this means thou shalt have no 
 portion on this side tho river. Then sent 
 the king an answer tuitj E-ehum, the chan- 
 cellor, and to Shimshai, tho scribe, and to 
 the rest of their companions that dwell in 
 Samaria, and unto the rest beyond tho river. 
 Peace, and at such a time. The letter which 
 yo sent us hath been plainly i ead before me. 
 And I commanded, and search hath been 
 
 u
 
 made, and it is found that this city of old 
 time hath made insmTection against kings, 
 and that rebelHon and sedition have been 
 made therein. There have been mighty 
 kings also over Jerusalem, which have ruled 
 over all countries beyond the river; and 
 toll, tribute and custom Avas paid unto them. 
 Give ye now commandment to cause these 
 men to cease, and tliat this city be not 
 builded, until another commandment be 
 given from me. Take heed how that ye fail 
 not to do this : why should damage grow to 
 the hurt of kings ? Now, wJien the copy of 
 king Artaxerxes' letter was read before 
 Eehum, and Shimshai, the scribe, and the r 
 companions, they went up in haste to Jeru- 
 -salem, unto the Jews, and made thcin to 
 cease by force and power. Then ceased the 
 work of the house of God, which is at Jeru- 
 salem. So it ceased unto the second year 
 of the reign of Darius, king of Persia. — 
 Ezra iv.

 THE STRENGTH OF WINE. 
 
 Cliii. O 3^0 pricces and rulers, how ex- 
 ceeding strong is wine ! It causeth all men 
 to err that drink it ; it maketli the mind of 
 the king and the beggar to be all one ; of 
 the bondman and freeman ; of the poor man 
 and of the rich ; it turneth also every 
 thought into jollity and mirth, so that a man 
 remembereth neither sorrow or del -t ; it 
 changeth and elevateth the spirits, and en- 
 liveneth the heavy hearts of the miserable. 
 It maketh a man forget his brethren, and 
 draw his sword against his best friends. O 
 ye princes and rulers, is not wine the strong- 
 est, that forceth us to do these things ? 
 
 yC,
 
 THE POWER OF KINGS. 
 
 S M. M o til P wilt do yu sa : It is be- 
 yond dispute, O princes and rulers, that 
 God lias made man master of all things un- 
 der the sun ; to command them, to make 
 use ot them, and to apply them to his 
 servdce as he pleases ; but whereas men 
 have only dominion over other sublunary 
 creatures, kings have an authority even over 
 men themselves, and a right of ruling them 
 by will and pleasure. Now, he that is mas- 
 ter of those who are masters of all things 
 else, has no earthly thing above him. 
 
 THE POWER OF WOMEN, AND OF TRUTH. 
 
 S M. Zerbl wht is yr argmt : O princes 
 and rulers, the force of wine is not to be 
 denied, neither is that of kings, that unites 
 so many men in one common bond of al- 
 legiance, but the supereminency of women 
 is- yet above all this ; for Idmjs are but the 
 gifts of women, and they are also the 
 mothers of those that cultivate our vine- 
 yards. Women have the power to make us 
 abandon our very country and relations, 
 and many times to forget the best friends 
 
 57
 
 we have in the world, and forsaking all 
 other comforts, to live and die with them. 
 But when all is said, neither they, nor wine, 
 nor kings, are comparable to the ahxiighty 
 force of truth. As for all other things, they 
 are mortal and transient, but truth alone is 
 unchangeable and everlasting ; the benefits 
 we receive from it are subject to no varia- 
 tions or vicissitudes of time and fortune. 
 In her judgment is no unrighteousness, and 
 she is the strength, wisdo ai, power and ma- 
 jesty of all ages. Blessed be the God of 
 truth. 
 
 Response. — Blessed, thrice blessed, be the 
 God of truth.

 THE IONG's vow. 
 
 O king, remember thy vow, which thou 
 hast vowed, to build Jerusalem in the daj^ 
 when thou shouldst come to thy kingdom, 
 and to restore the holy vessels which were 
 taken away out of Jerusalem. Thou hast 
 also vowed to build up the temple, which 
 
 58
 
 was burned when Judah was made desolate 
 by the Chaldees. And now, O kmg, this is 
 thnt I desire of thee, that thou make good 
 the \ow, the performance whereof with 
 thine own mouth thou hast vowed to the 
 King of Heaven.

 And Abraham rose up early in the morn- 
 ing, and took bread and a Lottie of water and 
 gave it unto Hagar (putting it on her 
 shoulder) and the child, and sent her away, 
 and she departed and wandered in the wil- 
 derness, and the water was spent in the bot- 
 tle, and she cast the child under one of the 
 shmbs ; and the angel of God called to 
 Hagar out of Heaven, saying, xlrise, lift up 
 the lad and hold him in thine hand for I 
 will make him a great nation ; and God 
 opened her eyes, and she saw a well of 
 watt r. By faith Abraham sojourned in the 
 land of promise as in a strange country, 
 dwelling in tabernacles ; for he looked for a 
 city which had foundations, whose builder 
 and maker is God. Be ye therefore follow- 
 ers of God, as dear children, rejoicing in the 
 Lord always ; and again say, rejoice.

 If a brother or sister be naked and desti- 
 tute of daily food, and one of you say, De- 
 part in j)eace, be ye warmed and filled, and 
 ye give them not of those things which are 
 needful for the body, what doth it profit ? 
 To do good and communicate, forget not, 
 for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. 
 Beware, lest any man spoil you through 
 philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradi- 
 tions of men ; after the rudiments of the 
 world, and not after Christ ; for in him 
 dwelleth all the fullness of the godhead 
 bodily.

 Prlt. Then one of the twelve called Jndas 
 Iscariot, went nnto the chief priests, and 
 said nnto them, What will ye give me, and 
 I will deliver him nnto yon ? And they 
 covenanted with him for thirty pieces of 
 silver. And from that time he songlit op- 
 portunity to betray him. Now the first day 
 of the feast of unleavened bread, the dis- 
 ciples came to Jesus, saying nnto him, 
 where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to 
 eat the passover ? And he said, Go into 
 the city to such a man, and say unto him. 
 The master saith. My time is at hand ; I 
 will keep the passover at thy house with my 
 
 76
 
 disciples. And the disciples did as Jesus 
 had appointed them, and they made ready 
 the passover. Now when the even was 
 come, he sat down with the twelve. And as 
 they did eat, he said, Yeiil}' I say unto you, 
 that one of you shall betray t-e. And they 
 were exceeding sorrowful, and began every 
 one of them to say unto him, Lord is it I ? 
 And he answered and said. He that dip- 
 ])etli his hand with me iii the dish, the same 
 shall betray me. The Son of man goeth, 
 as it is written of him ; but wo unto that 
 man by whom the Son of man is betrayed ! 
 It had been good for that man if he had 
 not been born. Then Judas, which be- 
 treyed him, answered and said, Master, is it 
 I ? He said unto him. Thou hast said. —

 Then cometli Jesus with them unto a 
 place called Gethsemane, and said unto the 
 disciples, Sit je here, while I go and pray 
 yonder. And he took with him Peter and 
 the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be 
 sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he 
 unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, 
 even unto death ; tarry ye here, and watch 
 with me. And he went a little further, and 
 fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my 
 Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass 
 from me ; nevertheless, not as I will, but as 
 thou wilt. And he cometli unto the dis- 
 ciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith 
 unto Peter, What ! could ye not watch with 
 me one hour ? Watch and J^ray that ye 
 enter not into temptation ; the spirit indeed 
 is willing, but the flesh is weik. He went 
 away again the second time, and prayed, 
 saying, O my Father if this cup may not 
 pass away from me, except I drink it, thy 
 will be done. And he came and found them 
 asleep again ; for their eyes were heavy. 
 And he left them, and went away again, and 
 
 7«
 
 prayed the third time, saying the same 
 words. Then cometh he to his disciples, 
 and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and 
 take yonr rest ; behold, the hour is at hand, 
 and the Son of man is betrayed into the 
 hands of sinners. Eise, let us be going : 
 behold he is at hand that doth betray me. 
 And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of 
 llie twelve, came, and with him a great 
 multitude, with swords and staves, from the 
 chief priests and elders of the people. Now 
 he that betrayed him gave them a sign, say- 
 ing, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is 
 he, hold him fast. And forthwith he came 
 to Jesus, and s:id. Hail, master ; and kissed 
 him.— iVatt. xxvi. 36-49.

 Prlt. When Pilate saw that he could pre- 
 vail nothing, but rather a iumult was made, 
 
 7y
 
 he took water, and washed his hands be- 
 fore the multitude, saying, I am innocent of 
 the blood of this just person ; see ye to it. 
 Then answered all the people and said, His 
 blood be on us, and on our children. Then 
 released he Barabbas unto them ; and when 
 he had scourged Jesus, he dehvered him to 
 be crucified. Then the soldiers of the gov- 
 ernor took Jesus into the common hall, and 
 gathered unto him the whole band of sold- 
 iers. And they stripped him, and put on 
 him a scarlet robe. And when they had 
 platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon 
 his head, and a reed in his right hand : and 
 they bowed the knee before him, and 
 mocked him, saying. Hail king of the Jews ! 
 And they spit upon him, and took the reed 
 and smote him on the head. And after that 
 they had mocked him, they took the robe 
 off from him and put his own raiment on 
 him, and led him away to crucify him. And 
 as they came out they found a man of Cy- 
 rene, Simon by name : him they compelled 
 to bear his cross. [And when they weie 
 come unto a place called Golgotha, that is 
 to say, A place of a skull, they gave him
 
 vinegar to drink, miDgled mth gall : and 
 when he had tasted thereof he would not 
 drink. And they crucified him, and parted 
 his garments, casting lots. And sitting 
 down, they w^atched him there ; and set up 
 over his head his accusation written, TIiih 
 is Jesus the King of the Jews.'] — 3Iatt. xxvii.

 In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to 
 dawn toward the first day of the week, came 
 Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, to 
 see the sepulcher. And behold, there was 
 a great earthquake: for the angel of the 
 
 81
 
 Lord descended from Heaven, and came 
 and rolled back the stone from the dcor and 
 sat upon it. His countenance was like 
 lightning, and his raiment white as snow : 
 And for fear of him the keepei^ did shake 
 and become as dead men. And the angel 
 answered and said unto the women. Fear 
 not ye : for I know that ye seek Jesus which 
 is crucified. He is not here, for he has 
 rsen as he said. Come see the place where 
 the Lord lay : and go quickly and tell his 
 disciples that he is risen from the dead ; 
 and behold, he goetli before you into Gali- 
 lee : there shal ye see him : lo, I have told 
 you. And they departed quickly from the 
 sejDulcher with fear and great joy, and did 
 run to bring his disciples word. And as 
 they went to tell his disciples, behold Jesus 
 met them, saying, All Hail. And they came 
 and held him by Ihe feet and worshipped 
 him. Then Jesus said unto them, Be not 
 afraid : go tell my brethren that they go in- 
 to Galilee, and there shall they see me. — 
 Matt xxviii. 1-10.

 Prlt. And in those days Peter stood up 
 in the midst of the disciples, and said (the 
 number of the names tjgethtr were about 
 an hundred and twenty), Men and brethren, 
 this Scripture must needs have been ful- 
 filled, which the Holy Ghost, by the mouth 
 of David, spake before, concerning Judas, 
 which was guide to them that took Jesus. 
 
 yu
 
 For he was numbered with us, and had ob- 
 tained a part of this ministry. Now this 
 man purchased a field with the reward of 
 his iniquity ; and, faUing headlong, he burst 
 asunder in the midst, and all his bowels 
 gaslied out. And it was known to all the 
 dwellers at Jerusalem : insomuch as that 
 field is called, in their proper tongue, Acel- 
 dama, that is to say, the field of blood. For 
 it is written in the Book of Psalms. Let 
 his habitation be desolate, and no man 
 dwell therein ; and his bishopric let another 
 lake. Wherefore, of th« se men Avhich have 
 companied with us all the time that the 
 Lord Jesus went in and out among us, be- 
 gioning from the baptism of John, unto that 
 same day that he was taken up from us, 
 mu-t bo one ordained to be a witness with 
 us of his resiuTection. And they appointed 
 two, Joseph, called Barsabas, who was sur- 
 named Justus, and Matthias. And they 
 prayed and said, Thou, Lord, which know- 
 est the hearts of all men, shew whet er of 
 these two thou hast chosen, that lie may 
 take part of this ministry and apostleship, 
 from which Judas by transgression fell, that 
 
 91
 
 lie might go to liis own place. And they 
 gave fortii their lots : and the lot fell upon 
 Matthias ; and he was numbered with the 
 eleven apostles. — Acts i. 15-26.

 Prlt. And wlien tbey were escaped, tlien 
 tbey knew tbat tbe island was called Melita. 
 And tbe barbarous people sliowed us no 
 little kindness : for tbey kindled a fire and 
 received us every one ; because of tbe pres- 
 ent rain, and because of tbe cold. And 
 when Paul bad gathered a bundle of sticks, 
 and laid tlieni on tbe fire, tbere came a 
 viper out of tbe beat and fastened on bis 
 
 95
 
 hand. And when the barbarians saw the 
 venomous beast hang on his hand, they 
 said among themselves, No doubt this man 
 is a murderer, whom, though he hath es- 
 caped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not 
 to hve. And he shook off the 1 east into the 
 fire and felt no harm. Acfs xxviii. 1-5.

 Prlt. But Thomas, one of the twelve, 
 called Didymus, was not with them when 
 Jesus came. The other disciples, therefore 
 said unto him. We have seen the Lord. 
 But he said unto them. Except I shall see 
 in his hands the print of the nails^ and put 
 my finger into the print of the nails, and 
 thrust my hand into his side, I will not be- 
 lieve. And after eight days, agaia his dis- 
 ciples were within, and Thomas with them. 
 Then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and 
 stood in the midst, and said Peace be with 
 
 96
 
 you. Then said lie to Thomas, Beach hither 
 thy finger, and behold my hands ; and reach 
 hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side ; 
 and be not faithless, but believing. And 
 Thomas answered and said unto him, My 
 Lord and mj^ God. — John xx. 24-28.
