S. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are whom ye obey?

P. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

S. Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned.

P. Come unto me, said Jesus, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

S. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest to your souls; P. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

LESSON XXXII.

LOVE FOR CHRIST.

S. I am the true vine; and my Father is the husbandman.

P. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away; and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it that it may bring forth more fruit.

S. Abide in me, and I in you; as the branch

cannot bear fruit of itself except it abide in the vine, no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

P. I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, the same bringeth forth much fruit.

S. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

P. Herein is my father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my dis

ciples.

S. As the Father hath loved me, so have I
loved you; continue ye in my love.
P. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall
abide in my love, even as I have kept my
Father's commandments, and abide in
his love.

S. Greater love hath no man than this, that
a man lay down his life for his friend:
P. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever
I command you.

S. A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

P. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

S. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.

P. He that hateth his brother walketh in darkness, and knoweth not. whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.

S. God is love; and he that dwelleth in

love dwelleth in God, and God in him. P. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear.

S. He that loveth not his brother, whom he hath seen, how can he love God, whom he hath not seen?

P. And this commandment have we from

Him, that he who loveth God, love his brother also.

LESSON XXXIII.

THE DIVINE MISSION OF CHRIST.

S. And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water, and lo! the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him.

P. And lo! a voice from heaven saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

S. Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?

P. 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 whosoever shall not be offended in me.

S. Whom say ye that I am?

P. Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
