Through al the ages of ages. 1^- Amen. The Epistle (except f'rotn Wednesday to Friday, which are given below): A Reading from the Epistle of blessed Paul the Apostle, to the Galatians: Brethren: Now to Abraham and His Seed were the promises made. He saith not, "And to seed^s " as of many; but as of one: "And to Thy Seed," Which is Christ. And this I say that the Covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the Law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect, For if the inheritance be of the Law, it is no more of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by Ijromise. Wherefore then serveth the Law? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to Whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the Hand of a Mediator, Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is One. Is the L a w ther against the promises of God? God forbid; for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the Law. But the Script ture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by Faith might be given to them that believe. of Jesus Christ (Gal. 2: 16 - 22} f^. Thanks be to God.

At that time, Jesiis said unto His disciples: "Blessed are the (yes 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, a n i 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 H i m , 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 answerin;; said, "Thou shalt love the L o r d Thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy ssul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself." And He said unto him, "Thou hast answered right; this do, and thou shalt live." But he, willing l:o 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, leavhig 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 ' "'"^" evite, when i, he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by 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 bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And on the moni[ow when he departed, 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 c( me again, I will repay thee.' "Which now of t lese 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, f^.

The Epistle: A Reading frorfi the First Epistle of blessed Paul the Apostle, to the Thessalonians: Brethren: Ye remember our labour and travail; for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the Gospel of God.

Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe; As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth " h " s children, That ye would walk worthy of God, Who hath called you unto His Kingdom and Glory. For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the Word of ijod Which ye heard of us, ye received It not as the word of men, but as It is in Truth, the Word of God, Which effectually worketh also in you that believe. (1 Thes. 2: 9 - 13) ^ . Thanks be to G o d . Or the following may be used in place of the above: The Epistle (as kept at Hereford): A Reading froi^i the Second Epistle of blessed Paul the Apostle, to the Corinthians: Brethren: For We know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a Building of God, an House not made with hands. Eternal in the Heavens. For in his we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with Our House Which is f r i m Heaven; If so be that bei|ig clothed we shall not be found naked. For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened; not for that we would be unclothec , but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. Now He That hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, Who also hath given unto us the (>arnest of the Spirit. Therefore we ai-e always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord; (For we walk by Faith, not by sight;) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body. and to be present with he Lord. Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of H i m . For we must all appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ; that every one may redeive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God, through Jesus Christ Our Lord. (2 Cor. 5: 1 - 11) Thanks be to Goil. Or the following may be used in place of the above: The Epistle (as kept at Bee): A Reading from the Epistle of blessed Paul the Apostle, to the Romans: Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the L a w by the Body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to Him Who is Raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. For when we v^ere in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the Law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. But now we are delivered from the L a w , that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the Law; for I had not known lust, except the Law had said, "Thou shalt not covet.' But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of co icupiscence. For without the L a w sin was dead. For I was alive without the L a w once; but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death. For sin, takiiig occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. Wherefore the Law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. Was then that vhich is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear s n , working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. (Rom. 7: 4 - 13) 1^. Praise be to Thee, O Christ.

The Gospel: ]/. The Lord lie with you. I^- And with thy spirit. The Holy (Jospel according to Matthew. Glory be tc| Thee, O L o r d . At that time: The Pharisees went out, and held a council against Him, how they might destroj Him. But when Jesu^ knew it. He withdrew Himself from thence; and great multitudes followed Hi]|n, and He healed them all; And charged thcjm that they should not make Him Known; fulfilled which was spoken by Isaias the Prophet, saying, "Behold M y Sej-vant, Whom I have chosen; M y Beloved, in Whom M y Soul is well Pleased; I will put M y Spirit upon Him, and He shall shew judgment to the Gentiles. "He shall not stHve, nor cry; neither shall any man hear His Voice in the streets.

The Epistle (as kept at Hereford}: A Reading from the Epistle of blessed Paul the Apostle, to the Romans: Brethren: For We know that the L a w is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin. For that wjiich I do I allow not; for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. If then I do thkt which I would not, I consent unto the L a w that it is good. Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing; for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not; but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a la|w, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the Lav|^ of God after the inward man; But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the Law of sin which is in my members, O wretched man that am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through J ^ u s Christ Our L o r d . (Rom. 7. 14 - 25} 1^. Thanks be to God. The Gospel (as kept at Hereford}: y.

And He said uiito them, "Take heed, and beware of covetousness; for a man's life consisteth noil in the abundance of the things which he possesseth." And He spake a Parable unto them, saying, ''The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully; "And he thoughll within himself, saying, 'What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?' "And he said. This will I do; I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will ]i bestow all my fruits and my goods. " 'And I will sW to my soul, "Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry." ' "But God said ijnto him, 'Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?' "So is he that lufeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."

And He said unto His disciples, "Therefore I say unto you, 'Take no thought for your life, What ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. Consider the ravens; for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; an^ God feedeth them.'
