ing Jews, reject him. Let it not be said that

he came to us, and we received him not. May

we receive him as a Saviour, by believing on him ;—as a Guide, by following him ;—as a Friend, by loving him ;-and as a Master, by serving him.

Let it not content us, O Lord, to call ourselves by the name of Christ; but may we remember, that he came into the world, not merely to give us a new name, but to make us new creatures. Enable us then to put off the old man, which is corrupt; and to put on the new man, which, after God, is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Be graciously pleased to open the eyes of those who call themselves Christians, and yet consider not the end for which Christ came into the world. Grant that they may see what true christianity is; and may they partake of that grace by which thy genuine disciples are preserved from sinful pleasures, and are enabled to live a sober, righteous, and godly life in this present world.

O Lord, let thy kingdom spread on the earth. Scatter the darkness which preventeth men from seeing its glory; weaken the powers which oppose its progress; and succeed the

lawful endeavours of all those who labour for its extension.

Bless in particular all who are called to preach the glorious Gospel of the blessed God. May they deliver thy word with clearness, and force; and may thy Holy Spirit so accompany their ministry, that it may bring maný to know Thee the only true God, and to live in the faith and love of the Redeemer, to the end of their days.

And may the word of thy grace, which we hear from time to time, make us more fruitful in every good work; through Jesus Christ, our only Mediator and Advocate in whose name and words we further call upon thee, saying,

Our Father, &c.

MONDAY MORNING,

That we may set GOD always before us.

ALL thy works shall praise thee, O Lord, and thy saints shall bless thee: They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power. Nor would we be silent in thy praise. We pray that our eyes may be opened to see Thee in all thy works; and that our hearts may devoutly regard the many testimonies of thy wisdom, power, and goodness, with which we are surrounded.

Let the works of creation remind us of the Lord our Maker, who stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth.

Let thy "never-failing providence, which ordereth all things in heaven and earth," teach us to praise thee for what we have received, and to trust thee for what we want.

May we so regard it, that our hearts may be kept stedfast amidst threatening appearances; and be enabled to rejoice, at all times, that the Lord reigneth.

But above all, open our eyes to behold the glories of thy grace. Let our hearts be filled with wonder, love, and praise, for thine inestimable love in the redemption of the world, by our Lord Jesus Christ." May we be enabled, by faith, to take to ourselves the comfort of that great love, which thou hast manifested in giving thy dear Son for the life of the world. Trusting that we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of our sins, may we go on our way rejoicing.

Enable us to walk as the redeemed of the Lord. We dwell in a world that lieth in wickedness, and we carry about us a body of sin and death: O look upon our dangers and our weakness, and guard us this day from the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life.

And do thou, who keepest the feet of thy saints, preserve us from going into the way. of temptation. May we walk circumspectly; not as fools, but as wise. If sinners therefore entice us, suffer us not to consent to them. Never may we venture to go where thou. wilt not go with us.

And lest temptation should follow us even into the path of duty, enable us to put on the whole armour of God; that we may able to stand in the hour of danger. Strengthen us by the aids of thy Holy Spirit, for every conflict; that although fiercely assaulted, we may endure; and though wounded, we may still continue the good fight of faith, and at length receive from thy gracious hands the crown of life.

O Lord, enable us to go forward in thy paths, and all will be well for there are more with thy people, than there are against them; and greater is he that is in them, than he that is in the world. But make us, nevertheless, to watch and pray against every thing that may tempt us to depart from the
