THE SUNDAYS AFTER TRINITY
In the first half of the Church year,
the Sundays take their character from
some special events relating to the
birth, life, deeds, death, resurrection,
and ascension of our blessed Lord. On
Pentecost, or Whitsunday, His Holy
Spirit descends to guide His Church into
all truth; and on Trinity Sunday, the
great doctrine of three persons in one
Godhead is set forth. Then we enter
on a new phase of the religious year,
and through the Sundays after Trinity,
lessons of duty engage our attention,
and we are moved by the sublime pre-
cepts of our Master, to cultivate the
graces of the Christian life.

supposed to be one of the seventy dis
