Never be absent from your place in the house of God when it is open for Hi worship, except for a reason which woull justify your clergyman for the neglect 0 his duty to minister to you at this altar, reason which will satisfy your own con science and your bed of death, and be ac r Cepted by God as q sufficient excuse in thu , day of judgment. Let every member o the parish resolve to do all that IS in hi power by prayer, zeal and efforts for Goo for hls own salvation and the salvation o = the souls of his fellow men, to advance thu , cause of God and the interest of His churcl r remembering that if clergyman has hi duties the people have theirs And now brethren, commend you to God and to tn ] word of His grace which is able to buill you up and give you an inheritance anon. all of them that are sanctified. May God blessing rest upon you and His Holy Spiri abide with you forever"
