GOOD CHRISTMAS READING.
IT is GOOD FOR ALL THE YEAR
ROUND.

newspaper. AS many as four
ladies have kindly scissored the
following editorial matter for the
Christmas issue of the HERALD:
And seeing the multitudes, he
went up into a mountain; and when
he was set, his disciples came unto
him:
And he opened his mouth, and
taught them, saying:
Blessed are the poor in spirit 4:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn for
they shall be cOmfOrted.
Blessed are the meak for they
shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger
and thirst after righteousness for
they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful: for
they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers; Tor
they shall be called the children of
God,
Blessed are they which are per-
secuted for righteousness sake for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are We, when men shall
Icvile you, and persecute goa, and
shall say all manner of evil against
you falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice, aud be exceeding glad:
for great is your reward in heaven
for SC prosecuted they theprophets
which were before you.
Ye are the salt of the earth but
if the salt have lost his SAVIOUR,
wherewith shall it be sailed? 1t Is
,henceforth good for nothing, but
20 be cast out, and to be trodden
under foot of men.
Ye are the light of the world. n
city that is set on hill cannot be
hid.
Neither do men light a candle,
and put it under bushel, but on a
candlestick; and it giveth light
unto all that are in the house.
Let your light so shine before
men, that they may see your good
works, and glorify your Father
which is in heaven.
Think not that l am come to de-
stroy the law, or the prophets: l
am not came to destroy, but to
fulfill.
For verify l say unto you, Till
heaven and earth pass, one lot or
one little shall in no wise pass from
the law, till all be fulfilled.
Whosoever therefore shall break
one of these least commandments,
and shall teach men so, he shall be
called the least in the kingdom OF
heaven: but whosOever shall do
and teach them, the same shall be
called great in the kingdom OF
heaven.
For say unto you, That except
your righteousness shall exceed
the righteousness of the scribes and
Pharisees, We shall in no case enter
into the kingdom of heaven.
Ye have heard that it was said
by them of old time, Thou shalt
not kill; and whosOeyer shall kill
shall be in danger of the judgment
But | say unto you, That whose
ever is angry with hrs brother
without cause shall be in danger
of the judgment and whosoever
shall say to his brother, Raca,
shall be in danger of the council:
but whosoever shall say, Thou fool,
shall be in danger of hell fire.
Therefore if thou bring thy gift
TO the altar, and there rememberest
that thy brother hath aught |
against thee;
Leave there thy gift before the
altar, and 90 thy way; first be re-
conciled to thy brother, and then
come aud offer thy gift.
Agree with thine adversary |
quickly, while thou art in the way |
with him; lest at any time the adj
versary deliver thee to the Judge,
and the Judge deliver thee to the
officer, and thou be cast into prison.
Verify | say unto thee, Thou
shalt 10y no means come out thence,
till thou hast paid the uttermost
farthing.
Ye have heard that it was said
by them ofold time, Thou shalt not
commit adultery:
But say unto you, That who
soever lOOketh on woman to lust
after her hath committed adultery
with her already in his heart.
And if thy right eye offend thee,
pluck it out, and cast II from thee:
for it is profitable for thee that one
of thy members should perish, and
not that thy whole body should be
east into hell.
And if thy right hand offend
thee, cut it OIL, and cast Il from
the: for it is profitable for thee
That one of thy members should |
perish, and not hat thy whole body |
shnnld be cast into hell.
n hath been said, WhOsOever |
shail put away his wife, let him
g.vc her writing Of enforcement
But say unto You, That who
soc, or shall put away his wife, saw
ing for the cause of fOrnicatiOD,
causeth her to commit adultery
and whatsoever shall marry her that
