to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light;

who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and

how that Christ died for our sins, according to the

Scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose

again the third day, according to the Scriptures; and

that he was seen of above five hundred brethren at

once-of whom the greater part remain unto this

sent, but some are fallen asleep. After that he was

seen of James; then of all the apostles; and last of all,

he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time:

be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church

Acts xiii. 29, 30, 31.

And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him,

they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a

sepulchre; but God raised him from the dead; and he

was seen many days of them which came up with him

from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are witnesses unto this

ON CONFIRMATION.

And when he was gone forth into the way, there came

one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good

Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? 93

And God saw their works, that they turned from their

THE PARABLE OF THE SAMARITAN.

PARABLE OF THE PHARISEE AND THE PUBLICAN.

Luke xviii. 9-14.

And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in

themselves that they were righteous, and despised

others. Two men went up into the Temple to pray;

the one a Pharisee, and the other a Publican. The

Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself—God, I

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

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a

child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man,

I put away childish things. For now we see through

a glass darkly; but then face to face: now I know in

part; but then shall I know even as also I am known
