The Golden Text was:-"Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.”

Hebrews 9; 28.)

Among the citations which com- prised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible.-"Let no- thing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind) let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others." (Phil. 2; 3, 4.)
