"O LORD, I confess myself guilty of innumerable transgressions of this holy commandment; pardon me, I beseech Thee, for Jesus Christ's sake; and let the grace of the Holy Spirit so prevent and follow me for the time to come, that I may never more be guilty of the like offences, but may henceforth strive to avoid every sin forbidden, and to practise every duty enjoined by this most righteous law."

THE TENTH COMMANDMENT.

"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house: thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is his."

THE duties enjoined are: To content ourselves with our own property, and not to covet or desire anything that belongs to another. To avoid all anxiety and over-carefulness about the things of this world; not to give our hearts to any creature, but to set our affections on heaven and heavenly things.

They sin against these precepts: Who are covetous of other men's goods, who repine at their own condition, who are uneasy at the prosperity or possessions of others; who are greedy for the riches and pleasures and honours of this world, who are over-thoughtful or anxious about any worldly enjoyments.

"O LORD, I confess myself guilty of innumerable transgressions of this holy commandment; pardon me, I beseech Thee, for Jesus Christ's sake; and let the grace of the Holy Spirit so prevent and follow me for the

time to come, that I may never more be guilty of the like offences, but may henceforth strive to avoid every sin forbidden, and to practise every duty enjoined by this most righteous law."

JOHN vi. 55.

1 MY GOD, and is thy table spread, And does thy cup with love o'erflow? Thither be all thy children led,

And let them all its sweetness know!

2 Hail sacred feast, which Jesus makes, Rich banquet of his flesh and blood! Thrice happy he, who here partakes

That sacred stream, that heavenly food!

3 0 let thy table honoured be,

And furnished well with joyful guests; And may each soul salvation see

That here its sacred pledges tastes!

4 Revive thy dying churches, Lord, Bid all our drooping graces live; And more that energy afford,

Which Jesus' blood alone can give!

JOHN vi. 51.

1 BREAD of heaven! on thee I feed, For thy flesh is meat indeed! Ever may my soul be fed

With this true and living bread :
Day by day with strength supplied.
Through the life of him who died.

2 Vine of heaven! thy blood supplies This blest cup of sacrifice:

Lord, thy wounds my healing give:
To thy cross I look and live:
Thou, my life, O let me be

Rooted, grafted, built on thee!
