II Think not that am come to destroy the
Law, or the Prophets L am not come to des-

Is For verify say unto you, Till heaven
and earth pass, one jot or one little shall in
no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

kingdom of heaven but whosoever shall do
and teach them. the same shall be called
great in the kingdom of heaven.

righteousness exceed the righteousness of the
scribes and Pharisees, ye shall ih no case en-

LESSON HYMN. c.
Try us, o God and search the ground
OF every sinful heart;
Whate'er of sin in us is found,
o bid it all depart
If to the right or left we stray
Leave us not comfortless;
But guide our feet into the way
OF everlasting peace.

Let us in all things grow,
Till thou hast made us free indeed,
And spotless here below.
