Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship; for salvation is of the Jews.

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

God is a Spirit; and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

V. PRAYER.

UR Father who art in heaven,- the source of life and the giver of all good: Thou hast taught us to look up to thee in prayer, and to worship thee in spirit and in truth. Thou hast revealed thyself to us as our best and dearest friend, watching over us by day, and protecting us by night. Thou hast taught us to put all our trust in thee, for thou wilt never leave us nor forsake us. We thank thee that we are the children of thy love; that thou art leading us through all the changing scenes of life, and that wherever we may be, or whatever may befall us, we can say, from the fulness of our confidence and trust, thou doest all things well. Help us, our Father, to worship thee aright, to open our hearts before thee in gratitude and praise. Help us to understand thy holy word, that we may serve thee better, and love thee more and more. Give unto each of us that purity of heart which shall enable us to see thee in all the ways of life. Make us true and faithful followers of thy dear Son; and may it be our highest aim, as it is our highest glory, to make our lives and characters like his. Let thy blessing rest upon us while we are here together, and thy Spirit go with us, to guide us in the duties of the week before us; and to thy name be all praise and glory, forever. Amen.

THIRD SERVICE.

1. THE SABBATH DAY.

One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple.

For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion; in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.

And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.

II. L. M.

Again returns the Sabbath day;
Another week has passed away;
Again we meet to serve the Lord,
To sing his love, and read his Word.

III. SCRIPTURE LESSON. LUKE VI. 1-10.

And it came to pass on the second Sabbath after the first, that he went through the cornfields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.

And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath days? And Jesus, answering them, said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was ahungered, and they which were with him;

2

How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the showbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?

And he said unto them, That the Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath.

And it came to pass also on another Sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.

And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the Sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.

But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.

Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the Sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?

And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so, and his hand was restored whole as the other.
