OUR

The Lord's Prayer.

UR Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. Amen.

The Collect for Purity.

ALMIGHTY God, unto Whom all hearts are open, all

desires known, and from Whom no secrets are hid; Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of Thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love Thee, and worthily magnify Thy holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

IN THE OUTER COURT.

BEFORE THE ALTAR OF BURNT OFFERING.

The priest shall burn all upon the Altar, to be a burnt sacrifice unto the Lord.

"Man's duty to GOD is not the giving up of one faculty, but the entire surrender of all. So Christ sums up the First Commandment-all the mind, all the soul, all the affections. . . . He reserved nothing. All was burnt, all consumed upon the altar."

The Call:

I. To Singleheartedness.-Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart.

For thyself, pray for a more constant faith, a more steadfast aim, a purer intention, and a more whole-hearted devotion. For the Church, pray that she may increasingly recognize that her whole life belongs to the Bridegroom, and that her witness to this in outward forms of daily devotion may be ever clearer and more distinct, and that she may be delivered from the temptation to try and serve two masters.

II. To Spiritual Courage.

Thou shalt love the Lord

thy God with all thy soul.

For thyself, pray for courage in times of depression, trial, or suffering; for patience in weary waiting, for trust in desolation, and a brave contentment with an invisible GOD.

For the Church, pray for faith when harassed by foes within and without, for patience with the limitations of spiritual knowledge, for steadfast reliance on the unseen guidance of the Holy Ghost, and the perpetual presence of her invisible Head.

The Ten Commandments.

I.

GOD spake these words, and said: I am The LORD thy GOD: Thou shalt have none other gods but Me.

Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.

II.

Thou shalt not make to thyself any graven image, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, or in the water under the earth; thou shalt not bow down to them, nor worship them; for I The LORD thy GOD am a jealous GOD, and visit the sins of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me; and show mercy unto thousands in them that love Me and keep My command

ments.

Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.

IN THE OUTER COURT.

BEFORE THE ALTAR OF BURNT OFFERING.

The priest shall burn all upon the Altar, to be a burnt sacrifice unto the Lord.

The Call:

III. To Reverence.-Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy mind.

For thyself, pray for a more earnest and constant study of the Bible, for a heartier desire to be in those places where the Name of GOD is made nigh, for fervour of spirit and recollectedness of mind.

For the Church, pray that she may be a faithful witness against irreverence in priest or people, against superstitious or profane use of the Holy Writings and Sacred Things, against slothful indifference to the intellectual demands of GOD's Revelation, and be increasingly zealous in bearing brave testimony to the Blessed Name throughout the earth.

IV. To Devotion.-Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy strength.

For thyself, pray for conscientious earnestness in your daily work, and for a growing love of such days of spiritual refreshment and healthful discipline as the Church has provided.

For the Church, pray that she may set her face boldly against any violation of her children's Day of Rest; be forward in shewing herself a pattern of all good works, bodily and spiritual; and steadfast in holding forth to men the hope of eternal rest.

The Ten Commandments.

III.

Thou shalt not take the Name of The LORD thy GOD in vain, for The LORD will not hold him guiltless, that taketh His Name in vain.

Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.

IV.

Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath-day. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all that thou hast to do; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of The LORD thy GOD. In it thou shalt do no manner of work; thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant, and thy maidservant, thy cattle. and the stranger that is within thy gates. For in six days The LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day wherefore The LORD blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it.

Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.
