hosts. Praise him, ye sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light. Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens. Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he commanded, and they were created. He hath also established them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree, which shall not pass. Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons and all deeps; fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind fulfilling his word; mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars; beasts and all cattle, creeping things, and flying fowl; kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth; both young men and maidens, old men and children. Let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven. He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the Lord. (Ps. cxlviii: 1 to 14.)

I beheld, and lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds; and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; and they cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God, who sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders, and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God saying, Amen: blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and

power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. (Rev. vii. 9 to 12.)

The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign for ever and ever. We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, who art, and wast, and art to come, because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. (Apoc. xi. 15, 17.)

And I saw as it were a sea of glass, mingled with fire; and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. (Rev. xv. 2 to 4.)

And after these things I heard a voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God. And again they said, Alleluia. (Rev. xix. 1, 3.)

The Minister then delivers a sermon or discourse; first offering up a prayer for divine assistance, as follows, the people standing.

O LORD JESUS CHRIST, who hast graciously permitted us to assemble at this time to receive instruction in thy holy truths, grant strength and illumination to thy servant, who hath undertaken through divine assistance to speak to this congregation; that he may be enabled in all humility and dependance upon thee, and with thy blessing, to shew forth the counsels of thy wisdom, and declare the wondrous things in thy law. And give, O most merciful Father, to this people the hearing ear and the understanding heart, that so they may be edified, and strengthened by what shall be said from thee at this time, and depart from thy house replete with the riches of thy grace, whereby they may be the better enabled to shun all evil, and to know, to love, and to serve thee, and to live a life of greater usefulness to their neighbour in all godliness and honesty. And to thee we will ascribe the glory now and for Amen.

MOST glorious and omnipotent Jehovah God,

OF

Creator and Preserver of heaven and earth, who of thy divine love and mercy wast pleased to descend from heaven, to take upon thyself human nature, by actual incarnation in the womb of a virgin, and in that form didst present thyself in our world as SON OF THE MOST HIGH GOD, the WORD MADE FLESH, and the ONLY-BEGOTTEN OF THE FATHER, FULL GRACE AND TRUTH; we adore thee, we magnify thee, we celebrate thy great and holy name, for thus having effected the redemption of mankind, by subduing and removing the powers of hell, by restoring the spiritual world to order, and by preparing the way for a New Church upon earth, wherein thou, Jehovah, art acknowledged as the Child once born, the Son once given, on whose shoulder rests the government of the universe, and whose name is now called WONDERFUL, COUNSEllor, God, HERO, FATHER OF ETERNITY, PRINCE OF PEACE.-We, therefore, with joyful hearts and cheerful voices join in the unceasing song of praise, and with a multitude of the heavenly host shout, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good-will towards men."
