INVOCATION. | The minister or leader may use his own words, or, if he prefers, he may

use the following: Father in heaven, who dost love all thy children everywhere, and didst

send thy Son to seek and to save the lost, fill us with Thine own deep desire for the salvation of all men. As the Master sent forth his disciples to tell the story of redeeming love to all the nations, so may we feel that we should send the message of the gospel to all on earth. Bless us as we consider today the work of thy Kingdom, and fill us with joy by the promise of its final victory everywhere; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

All Uniting. Our Father, who art in heaven. Hallowed by thy name. Thy kingdom

come. Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

RESPONSIVE READING.

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name

of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; teaching

them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: And, lo, I am with you lway, even unto the end of the world. (Matt.

XXVIII: 18–20.) And being assembled together with them, he commanded them that

they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.

For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy

Ghost not many days hence. Ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: And ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea,

and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. (Acts 1 : 4, 5, 8.)

Or this:

Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the

king's son. He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment. The mountains shall bring peace to the people;

And the little hills, by righteousness. He shall judge the poor of the people; He shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the

oppressor. They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout

all generations. He shall come down as rain upon the mown grass: as showers that

water the earth. In his days shall the righteous flourish;

And abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.
He shall have dominion also from sea to sea,

And from the river unto the ends of the earth.
They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him:

And his enemies shall lick the dust.
The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents:

The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
Yea, all kings shall fall down before him:

All nations shall serve him.
For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth;

The poor, also, and him that hath no helper.
He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence; and precious shall

their blood be in his sight. And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: Prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he bo

praised There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the moun

tains; The fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon;

And they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth. His name shall endure forever;

His name shall be continued as long as the sun. And men shall be blessed in him;

All nations shall call him blessed. Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous And blessed be his glorious name forever: And let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and Amen.

(Psalm LXXII.)

GLORIA PATRI.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it

was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.

PRAYER.

| The minister or leader may use his own form of words, or, if he wishes,

may use the following: Almighty and Most Merciful God, in whose hands are all the ends of

the earth, send forth thy light and thy truth into all the world. Win back thine own by the gracious power of thy Spirit working through the heralds of the Cross who carry the good news of Christ and his redemption. Protect the messengers of grace amid the dangers and difficulties that may confront them. Give them strength and skill and courage in their work. Bless those who work in mission fields in this our own country, that the power of the gospel may make this a Christian nation. Crown their labors with abundant success. Speed Thou the time when the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of God as the waters cover the sea, when Jesus shall rule in every heart and home, and when in the world-wide triumph of his redeeming grace the Kingdom of heaven shall have fully come on earth: through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

BENEDICTION.

ORGAN POSTLUDE.

A SERVICE FOR THE BURIAL OF THE DEAD

When the service is held in the house or in the church, the minister

may use one or more of these opening sentences: I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he

were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in

me shall never die. (John XI: 25, 26.) I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter

day upon the earth. (Job XIX:25.) We brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry noth

ing out. The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. (1 Tim. VI:7. Job I: 21.)

| Then let the minister lead the people in a

PRAYER OF INVOCATION.

Using his own words, or, if he so desires, one of the following, closing

with the Lord's Prayer: Almighty God, who art our refuge and strength, a very present help

in time of trouble, grant us Thy light to shine through the shadows of this hour. Comfort the hearts that are heavy with sorrow, and have compassion upon our weakness. Give us the vision of the eternal realities, and solace us with the hope of larger life beyond; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Or this:

Eternal and most merciful Father, who through Thy Son, Jesus Christ,

hast brought life and immortality to light, turn our sorrow into joy with the glad assurance of the life eternal. Be Thou the stay of those in trial, the strength of the fainting heart, and the light of the darkened home. Grant us Thy peace, through Jesus Christ, our Lord: Amen.
