GOSPEL FOR ST. STEPHENS DAY
The Acts, 1880.

Stephen, being full of the Holy
Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven
and saw the glory of God, and Jesus
standing on the right hand of God,
And said, Behold. l see the heavens
opened, and the Son of man standing
on the right hand of God.
Then they cried out with a loud voice
and stopped their ears, and ran upon
him with one accord,
And cast him out of the city, and
stoned him; and the witnesses laid
down their clothes at young mans
feet, whose name was Saul.
And they stoned Stephen, calling
upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, re
ceive my spirit
And he kneeled down, and cried with
a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin tc
their charge. And when he had said
this, he fell asleep.
