with one of their fingers. But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylac teries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, and love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. And call no man your father upon the earth for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. But he that is greatest among you, shall be your servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. And Thou.

JEREMIAH, XVII. 5—8.

HUS saith the Lord, Cursed be the man that trusteth

THU

in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see

when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. Thus saith.

V. Lord, be merciful unto me.

JEREMIAH, XVII. 9-11.

HE heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool. Thus saith.

V. The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. R. He shall lead me forth in the green pastures.

Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for Thou art my praise. Thus saith.

S. LUKE, XI. 37-44.

S JESUS spake unto the people, a certain Pharisee

:

And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that He had not first washed before dinner.

and sat down to meat.

And the Lord said unto him, Now do

ye

Pharisees make

clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness. Ye fools, did not He that made that which is without, make that which is within also? But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you. But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue, and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them. But Thou.

BE present, O Lord, with Thy servants. As at None.
