thy chosen, and, as I am numbered with them here, let me obtain with them everlasting glory hereafter, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and Amen.

EVENING PRAYER.

O Almighty Lord, our heavenly Father! Thou dwellest in the high and holy place, and art worshipped by the hosts of heaven. Let the whole earth be filled with thy glory!

I am a sinful child. I was born in sin, and I went astray as soon as I was born. I have done the things I ought not to have done; and I have left undone the things I ought to have done. Lord, save me, through Jesus Christ, who died for sinners. Wash me in his blood, and I shall be clean. Take away iniquity, and receive me graciously. And, oh, make me holy.

in me. Help me by thy grace, O Lord, to renounce the devil, the world, and the flesh, and to continue thy faithful soldier and servant unto my life's end.

I thank thee, heavenly Father, for all thy mercies : for food and raiment, for kind friends, and a comfortable home. But above all, I praise thee for spiritual blessings that I was born in a Christian Country, that I was brought into thy church by baptism, and that I am instructed in holy things. Grant that I may be thus training up for that state of glory and happiness, which thy people will enjoy in heaven.

Bless my dear parents, and brothers, and sisters; and grant that we may all find mercy of the Lord, in the great day of judgment. Bless all thy people, and let me be found among them here and for ever, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Our Father, &c.

THE END.
