DR.. Jencks began the reading of the following
lesson, from the fifteenth chapter of the first
epistle of St Paul to the Corinthians:

dead. For as in Adam all die. so in Christ shall
all be made alive. But every man in his own order:
Christ's. at His coming. Then conieth the end when
He shall have delivered up the kingdom to God even
the Father when He shall have put down all rule and
all authority, and power For he must resign till he
hath put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy
that shall be destroyed IS death, For He hath put all
things under His feet But when He 14th all things
excepted which did put all thugs I'M
der Him. And when all things shall
be subject unto Him that put all things under Him,
that God may be all in all Else what shall they do
which baptized for the dead if the dead rise not at
all? Why are they then baptized for the deadl and
why stand we in jeopardy every hour2 protest by

The sting of death is sin, and the strength Of sin is
