TABLE OF EASTER.

EASTER-DAY is always the first Sunday after the full moon which hap

pens on, or next after, the twenty-first day of March; and if the full

moon happen on a Sunday, Easter-Day is the Sunday after.

Ascension Sunday is the sixth Sunday after Easter, and Whitsunday

(or Pentecost) is the seventh. Advent Sunday, as generally noted, is also

a movable Feast. If a day certain be preferred, let it be the first Sun-

day in December.

In all Anniversaries, it is rather the event than the time, we seek to

commemorate. For which reason, several of the following, if falling
upon a weekday, may be observed on the Sunday before or after.

No. 10 is set down for the first Sunday in September; and No. 12 for
the second Sunday in November. If a Day of Thanksgiving be not ap-
pointed by the civil authority, let it be observed on the third Thursday
in November.

The Gospel Liturgy.

THE first thought, on entering a place of worship, should be this The Lord is in His holy temple: Let all the earth keep silence before HI," Hab. ii. 20. Being seated, it is befitting to bow the head in humble reverence of the High and Holy One. Let every worshipper com mune with his own heart, and be still. He may also silently read one or more of the following Sentences of Prayer, as an aid to meditation.

Go

OD OVER ALL, blessed for ever: While the thought of Thy continual goodness awakens within me the rejoicing of praise, may a sense of my infirmity subdue me into the humility of prayer.

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in Thy sight, O LORD, my Strength and my Redeemer.

FATHER OF MERCIES, in whom is the Fountain of Life and Light: All I have of blessing is the gift of Thy goodness: All I am of goodness is the work of Thy grace. Make me sensible, O LORD, that the more I confide in Thee, the more I honor Thee; and that the greater will be my peace, the closer and more trustfully I walk by Thy side.

FATHER ALMIGHTY, who dost govern all things in heaven and in earth: Let the light of Thy holy word so shine into my thoughts, that my soul may find the peace which passeth all understanding; and do Thou so move my dull heart by the spirit of devotion, that my life may continually show forth Thy praise.

SOURCE and End of all being: May my first thoughts, and my last thoughts, be of Thee; and while I hear Thy word, and rejoice that Thy testimonies are very sure, may I feel and know that holi- becometh Thy

people, and Thy house, for ever.
