St. Matth. xxi. i. they nigh HEN drew unto Jerusa- lem, and were come to Beth- phage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two dis- ciples, saying unto them. Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her : loose them, and bring them unto Me. And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say. The Lord hath need of them ; and straight- way he will send them. All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophet, saying. Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King Cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them ; and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set Him thereon. And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; Blessed is He that cometh in the Name of the Lord ; Hosanna in the highest. And when He was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying. Who is this.'* And the multitude said. This is B %l)t iSoofe of tl)t (S^ospels. Jesus the Prophet of Nazareth of GaHlee. And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple ; and over- threw the tables of the money- changers, and the seats of them that sold doves ; and said unto them, It is written. My house shall be called the house of prayer ; but ye have made it a den of thieves. c C!)e ^econt) ^unlia|) in atibent St. Luke xxi. 25. ND there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars ; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring ; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth : for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads ; for your redemp- tion draweth nigh. And He spake to them a parable. Behold the fig-tree, and all the trees ; when they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the Kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Verily I say unto you. This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled : heaven and earth shall pass away ; but My Words shall not pass away. Clje MooK of tl)e (S^ospcls* c C})e C!)irl) ^unliap in aiibrnt. St. Matth. xi. 2. OW when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disci- ples, and said unto Him, Art Thou He that should come, or do we look for another ? Jesus an- swered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see : The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the Gospel preached to them : And blessed is he who- soever shall not be offended in Me. And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the mul- titudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see ? a reed shaken with the wind ? But what went ye out for to see ? a man clothed in soft raiment ? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. But what went ye out for to see ? a prophet ? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. For this is he of whom it is written. Behold, I send My messenger before Thy Face, which shall prepare Thy Way before Thee. c Cf)e jFourtb ^unDa^ in aiibent* St. John i. 19. HIS is the record of John, when the Jews sent Priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou ? And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ. And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias ? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that Pro- phet? And he answered. No. Then said they unto him. Who B 2 C^e &ook of tf)e (S^ospel0. art thou ? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the Way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias. And they which were sent were of the Pharisees. And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that Prophet? John answered them, saying, I baptize with water : but there standeth One among you. Whom ye know not : He it is Who coming after me is preferred be- fore me. Whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose. These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing. THE NATIVITY OF OUR LORD, OR THE BIRTH-DAY OF CHRIST, COMMONLY CALLED C|)ri0tma6'©ap. St. Jol in 1. I, N the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. And the Light shineth in dark- ness, and the darkness compre- hended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear wit- ness of that Light. That was the True Light, Which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him C!)e &00K of tlje (S^ospels, not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to be- come the sons of God, even to them that believe on His Name : which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And The Word was made Flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the Only-Begotten of the Father) full of grace and truth. c ^t g)tep|)en'3 3Baj>, St. Matth. xxiii. 34. EHOLD, I send unto you pro- phets, and wise men, and scribes ; and some of them ye shall kill and crucify ; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and per- secute them from city to city; that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee ; how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not ! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see Me hence- forth, till ye shall say. Blessed is He that cometh in the Name of the Lord. Clje iSoofe of t\)t (S^ospelsi. c[ ^t, 3o|)n tlje €bangelist's Bap, St. John xxi. 19. ESUS said unto Peter, Follow Me. Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following ; which also leaned on His Breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth Thee ? Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do ? Jesus saith unto him. If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee ? Follow thou Me. Then went this saying abroad among the brethren. That that disciple should not die : yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die ; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee ? This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true. And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not con- tain the books that should be written. c C|)e Innocents' Ba|). St. Matth. ii. 13. HE Angel of the Lord appcarcth to Joseph in a dream, saying. Arise, and take the Young Child, and His Mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word ; for Herod will seek the Young Child to destroy Him. When he arose, he took the Young Child and His Mother by night, and departed into Egypt, and was there until the death of Herod ; that it %\)t MooK of tlje (S^ospcls* might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the pro- phet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called My Son. Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the Wise Men, was exceeding wroth ; and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the Wise Men. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying. In Rama was there a voice heard, lamen- tation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not. c Cbe g)unliaf) after Cf)ri0tmas^Bap.

And His disciples answered Him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness ? And He asked them. How many loaves have ye ? And they said. Seven. And He commanded the people to sit down on the ground. And He took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to His disciples to set before them ; and they did set them before the people. And they had a few small fishes ; and He blessed, and commanded to set them also before them. So they did eat, and were filled : and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets. And they that had eaten were about four thousand. And He sent them away. C|)e iSoofe of tl)t (S^cspeb. c Cbe €igl)t!) g)untiap after Crin(tj>* St. Matth. vii. 15. EWARE of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits : do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles ? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit; neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven ; but he that doeth the Will of My Father Which is in heaven. c %\)t jBlint!) g)untia]) after Crinitj^. St. Luke xvi. i. ESUS said unto His disciples. There was a cer- tain rich man which had a stew- ard ; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee ? Give an account of thy stewardship ; for thou mayest be no longer steward. Then the steward said within himself. What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship : I cannot dig, to beg I am ashamed. I am resolved what to do, that, %\)t iSoofe of tl)e (S^ospeb* when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord ? And he said. An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him. Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. Then said he to another, And how much owest thou ? And he said, An hundred mea- sures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore. And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely : for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. And I say unto you. Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of un- righteousness; that when ye fail, they may receive you into ever- lasting habitations. CT C|)e Centl) g)unlJap after Crinitp. St. Luke xix. 41. ND when He was come near, He beheld the city, and wept over it, saying. If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace I but now they are hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, and shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee ; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another ; be- cause thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. And He went into the Temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought, saying unto them. It is written. My house is the house of prayer : but ye have made it a den of thieves. And He taught daily in the Temple. K Ct)e iSoofe of tl)t (S^ospete. c Cfje dElebent^ ^unliap after Crinitp. St. Luke xviii. 9. ESUS spake this parable unto cer- tain which trusted in themselves that they were right- eous, and despised others : Two men went up into the Temple to pray ; the one a Pharisee, and the other a Publican. The Pha- risee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank Thee, that I am not as other men are, ex- tortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this Publican : I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the Publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other : for every one that exalteth him- self shall be abased ; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. € Cjje Ctoelftf) ^unliaj> after Crinitp, St. Mark vii. 31. ESUS, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis. And they bring unto Him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech ; and they be- seech Him to put His hand upon him. And He took him aside from the multitude, and put His fingers into his ears, and He spit, and touched his tongue ; and looking up to hea- %\)t Mooh of t\)t iSo^ptl^. ven, He sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha^ that is, Be opened. And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain. And He charged them that they should tell no man : but the more He charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it; and were beyond measure astonished, say- ing. He hath done all things well ; He maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak. c Cbe Cljirteent!) ^untiap after Crintt|). St. Luke X. 23. LESSED are the eyes which see the things that ye see. For I tell you. That many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them ; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. And behold, a certain Lawyer stood up, and tempted Him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said unto him. What is written in the Law ? how readest thou ? And he answering said. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind ; and thy neighbour as thyself. And He said unto him. Thou hast an- swered right ; this do, and thou shalt live. But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour ? And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. And by chance there came down a certain priest that way, and, when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by K 2 C!)e iSoofe of t|)e ^Ojspels. on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was ; and, when he saw him, he had compassion on him, and went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And on the morrow, when he de- parted, he took out two pence. and gave them to the host, and said unto him. Take care of him ; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? And he said. He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him.

And as He entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off. And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. And when He saw them, He said unto them. Go, shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks ; and he was a Samaritan. And Jesus an- swering said, Were there not ten cleansed ? but where are the nine ? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. And He said unto him. Arise, go thy way, thy faith hath made thee whole. Cbe iScoli of t\)t (S^ospel0. C Cbe JFifteentb ^unt)ap after %xinitp. St. Matth. vi. 24. . O man can serve two masters : for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else ne will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and Mammon. There- fore I say unto you. Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on : Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment ? Behold the fowls of the air; for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather mto barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature ? And why take ye thought for raiment.? Consider the lilies of the field how they grow : they toil not, neither do they spin : and yet I say unto you. That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven ; shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith ? Therefore take no thought, saying. What shall we eat ? or what shall we drink ? or wherewithal shall we be clothed ? (for after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your Hea- venly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow; for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself: sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Now when He came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow ; and much people of the city was with her. And when the Lord saw her. He had com- passion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. And He came and touched the bier, (and they that bare him stood still,) and He said. Young man, I say unto thee. Arise. And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak : and He delivered him to his mother. And there came a fear on all, and they glorified God, saying, That a great Pro- phet is risen up among us, and that God hath visited His people.

Which of you shall have an ass, or an ox, fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath-day? And they could not answer Him again to these things. And He put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when He marked how they chose out the chief rooms, saying unto them. When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room ; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him : and he that bade thee and him come and say to thee. Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room. But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room ; that, when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee.

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy- self. On these two command- ments hang all the Law and the Prophets. While the Pharisees C{)e iSoofe of tj)e (S^ospeb. were gathered together, Jesus asked them, saying. What think ye of Christ ? whose Son is He ? They say unto Him, The Son of David.

And Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts ? For whether is easier to say. Thy sins be forgiven thee ? or to say. Arise, and walk ? But that ye may know that the Son of Man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith He to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.

Again, he sent forth other ser- vants, saying. Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have pre- pared my dinner ; my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready ; come unto the marriage. But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise : and the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth ; and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burnt up their city. Then saith he to his servants. The wedding is ready, but they who were bidden were not worthy. Go ye therefore into the high-ways, and as many as ye shall find bid to the mar- riage. So those servants went out into the high-ways, and ga- thered together all, as many as they found, both bad and good ; and the wedding was furnished with guests. And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding-garment. And he saith unto him. Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having a wedding-garment ? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants. Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness : there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. The nobleman saith unto him. Sir, come down ere my child die. Jesus saith unto him. Go thy way, thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way. And, as he was now going down, his ser- vants met him, and told him, saying. Thy son liveth. Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend : and they said unto him. Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him. Thy son liveth ; and himself believed, and his whole house.

And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. The servant there- fore fell down and worshipped him, saying. Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. Then the lord of that ser- vant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, which owed him an hundred pence ; and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. And his fellow-servant fell down at his feet, and besought him, say- ing. Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. And he would not ; but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou de- siredst me : shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow-servant, even as I had pity on thee ?

Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley-loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.

And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel : and the Holy Ghost was upon him. And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. And he came by the Spirit into the temple ; and when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for Him after the custom of the Law, then took he Him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace, according to Thy word : for mine eyes have seen Thy sal- vation, which Thou hast pre- pared before the face of all people ; a Light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of Thy people Israel.

And He said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them ; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.

For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth ? is not he that sit- teth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth. Ye are they which have continued with Me in My temptations. And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as My Father hath appointed unto Me ; that ye may eat and drink at My table in My King- dom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. ^.OFCAllFOMfc ^.OFCAIIFO/J ^CAavaaii'^^ ^OAavaaii^N .^tllBRARYO/' ^^tUBRARYO^ .^MEUNIVERJ/A ^lOSANCElfj-^ ;Ut LAllFOff/i^ '%OJI1VDJO'^ ^OFCA1IFO% '&Aavaani^ AWEl)NIVERy/A ,^MEl)NIVERy/A ^lOSvVlCElfj v^VlOSANCflfj "^AaJAINrtJiV AWEUNIVERS/a ^lOSANCElfj-^ ^■TJIJDNVSOI'^'^ '^/ya3AiNn-3\^'' ^lUBRARYQc. ^lIBRARYQr ^tfojnvjjo^ ■^iOJIlVDJO'*^ .^WEI)NIVERy/A ^lOSMElfj-;> •^fSlJDNVSOl'^ %a3AiNniviv^ ^^tllBRARYQ^. ^tllBRARY^i '^aOJIlVDJO'^ ^aOdllVJJO aweuniver% i3 ^lOSANCElfj> o %a]AiNn-3ftV^ <;,OFfAUF0R(> ^.OFCAIIFO% .^MEUNIVERy/A vVlOSANCEl/j-^ ^ .^K. ■St ,^;OFCAllFORfc, .^.OFCAllFOff< o — S "^OAavaaii^^ "^OAavaaii-i^ ^riuoNvsoi'^ "^a^AiNn-jW^ "^OAavaaii-^ '^>&Aavaan-^^ ^'^tllBRARYGc ^tllBRARYQc. %JI1VDJ0>' '^OJIIVDJO'^ AWEUNIVERS/^ ^N-lOSANCElfj-^ "^/ya^AiNn-jiv^ ^ 1 \r~' ^ ^;^tLIBRARYQ^ %0JnV3-J0'^ '^OJIWDJO'^ .\MEUNIVERy/A %13MS0# ^lOSANCflti ft: O "^/ia^AiNnj^^ ^;OFCAllF0ff^ A-OFCAllFOff/^ ,^\^E•UNIVER% ^lOSANCEtfj^ o ■ >&Aavaan-5^ '^CAavaan-^^ ^TiijoNvsoi^ '^/ya^AiNn-jftV' ^.OFCAllFOSlfc ^OFCAllFOff^ '&Aavaani'<^ ■s /— '» ^ f? ^/ ^^meuniver% ^lOSANCElfj-^ o ^ ^UIBRARYO/: <^^^lllBRARY6 CO %a3AiNn3\*^ ^OFCAllFOft)^ ^OFCAllFOff^^, ^^\^E•UNIVER% '^^^^Aavaan-^^ *%'Aavaaii'i^ '^i^lJONVSOl'^ ^lOSANCElf/^ o AIN(l-3WV ^OFCAllFOMfc j^OF-CAllFOft ^&Aavaaiivi ^MUCKAIiT-yr 5^-lOSANCElfj-^ <^VmmO/:^ A'rtE UNIVERy/A \m% iuf^i fis^i frrti <\lllliKAl{V6'/-, -AMllliKAliYa', ,^v\E■UNIVERy/A vj.lOSANCElfj •% J 2 = o ^^(JAavaaivi^"^ ^- ^•rjiiQwsoi^ BX5147.U A1 1867 yr- IVJJO'^ L 009 637 642 1 \ ^OFCAllFOff^ >&A8va8n'^^ '^ <^llIBRARYQc .\W[l)NIVER% &Aijvaaii# ^ ^riiaDNvsoi^"^ "^AajMNHivvN;" o '-5- o J .^lOSANCElfj-^ :z < "^/saiAiNn 3wv^ ^^lllBRARYQr^ oAMIBRARYQ/:^ \^myi^ ■t^ .VlOSANCElfj-^ ^OFfAllFO/?^ >&Aavaaniv^ X;OFCAIIFO% ^ ,—'1 I- £;> ^OAHvaaii'i'J^ aWEUNIVERS/a ^lOVANCElfj^ o ^TilJDNVSOl^'' AWE UNIVERi'/A ^nvmm^ ^aJAINIllWV' ^■lOSANCElfj> o /^^ /I ' ^ 00 > V/5a]AINfl]WV ^vSHIBRARYQc ^^tllBRARY6'/v ^tfojiivjjo^^ '^>»03nvjjo^ ^OFCAllFOff^ ^.OfCAllFO%^ ^OAavaan^^ ^iJAavaanvi^ ^ ^\M■UBiiA1^0/:^ s s AWEUNIVERS/a ^lOSANCElfx^ o "^^/^ajAiNn 3W^^ ^lllBRARYQr^ ^^vM-llBRARYO/: '^(JOJITOJO^ '^.jojnvjjo'^ AWEUNIVERJ/a ^lOSANCEltf;^ ^/Xa3AIN(l-3\\- ^.OFCAIIFOP^ s = ■^Wva'an'^ AMfUNIVERJ/A ^lOSASCElfj^^ '^J'J13DNVS01'^ ^/ia3AIN(l-3WV^ ^OFCAllFOff^ ^OAavaani'^^ aofcaiifo% ft* /^-^t. 2^ eg > >&AavaaiHv> AWEUNIVERVa 5 ^ ^^lllBRARYQc.
