the Epistle of blessed Paul the Apostle, to the Galatians:live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying oneanother.

Brethren, if a man be overtaken In a fault, ye which are spiritual, restoresuch an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also betempted.

Bear ye one another s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

For if a man lihink himself to be something, when he Is nothing, hedeceiveth himself.

But let every main prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing inhimself alone, and not in another.

For every man sliall bear his own burden.aught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in

God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that

Let him that isall good things.

Be not deceived;shall he also reap.

For he that sow th to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but hethat soweth to the Spiri; shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

And let us not le weary in well doing; for in due season we shall reap, ifwe faint not.

As we have theifefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especiallyunto them who are of the household of Faith. Gal. 5 25, 26- 6: 1 - 10)

The Gradual:

It is better to trust in the Lord than to put any confidence in man.y. It is better 1o trust in the Lord, than to put any confidence in princes.It is better to trufst in the Lord than to put any confidence in man.

The Gospel {except frorr Wednesday to Friday, which are given below):

The Lord b vvith you. And with thy spirit.The Holy Gpspel according to Matthew.

Thee, Lord.

At that time, Jesiis said unto His disciples:

"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and lovethe other; or ls he wi I hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serveGod and mammon.

"Therefore I sajj unto you, 'Take no thought for your life, what ye shalleat, or what ye shall diink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.' Is notthe life more than meat and the body than raiment?

"Behold the fow s of the air; for they sow not, neither do they reap, norgather into barns; yet Your Heavenly Father feedeth them.

"Are ye not mucJi better than they?

"Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?"And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field,

how they grow; they toi not, neither do they spin;"And yet I say unto you, 'That even Solomon in all his glory was not

arrayed like one of these.'"Wherefore, If (Jod so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and

tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of littleFaith?

"Therefore take no thought, saying, 'What shall we eat?' Or, 'What shallwe drink?' Or, 'Where pithal shall we be clothed?'

"For after all thise things do the Gentiles seek; for Your Heavenly Father

knoweth that ye have med of all these things."But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all

these things shall be a ided unto you." Mat. 6: 24 -33) Praise be to

Thee, O Christ.

The Creed which is sung only on Sunday):

The Celebrant:

All: The Fatherbelieve in One God,Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth, and of all things

visible and invisible; And in One Lord Jesus Christ, the Only-Begotten Son ofGod; Begotten of His Either before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, Very

God of Very God; Beg)tten, not made. Being of One Substance with the Father;By Whom all thing were made; Who, for us men and for our salvation, camedown from Heaven; And was Incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary;

And was Made Man; And was Crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. Hesuffered and was Bur ed; And the third day He rose again according to theScriptures; And ascended into Heaven; And sitteth on the Right Hand of the

Father. And He shalldead; Whose Kingdom

come again with Glory to judge both the quick and theshall have no end. And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the

Lord, the Giver of life Who proceedeth from the Father; Who, with the Fatherand the Son is Worshipped and Glorified, Who spake by the Prophets. And Ibelieve One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. I acknowledge one Baptismfor the remission of sins. And I look for the Resurrection of the dead. And thelife of the world * to come. Amen.
