And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.

Then saith He unto them; My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

And He went a little farther, and prayed saying: O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless not as I will, but as Thou wilt.

He maketh sore, and bindeth up; He woundeth and His hands make whole.

Though He cause grief, yet will He have compassion; for He doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.

He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil; for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall to the ground without your Father.

But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore; ye are of more value than many sparrows,

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me?

Hope thou in God, for I shall yet praise Him who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

Whom have I in heaven but Thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside Thee. My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Amen

A PRAYER to be used in case of the DEATH of a member of the School.

ALMIGHTY and Most Merciful God, In Thy wisdom, Thou hast called back the spirit of one of our dear associates to Thyself, And laid his body low in the dust. May we believe that all this is well; that although Thou hast taken him from us, And we can never more behold his face on the earth, Yet if we love Thee with all our heart, Thou wilt bring us where he is gone, And make us rejoice together forever and ever. May we all think of death as the road to heaven, Over which our Saviour passed, Throwing upon its darkness a bright and cheering light.

May we find comfort when we part with innocent and virtuous friends, In the hope of a re-union with them hereafter, which shall be everlasting. May we be truly grateful to Jesus Christ our Redeemer, who hath brought life and immortality to light, And finally be raised to a seat at Thy right hand, Where we may dwell

with Thee, And give praise to Thee, forevermore. Amen.

If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for He chastens us not for His pleasure, but for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness.

Now no chastening for the present seemeth joyous but grievous; nevertheless, afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruits of righteousness to them that are exercised thereby. \

All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth, because the wind of the Lord bloweth upon it.

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God shall stand forever.

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to bind up the broken hearted, to comfort all that mourn; to give gladness unto them that mourn in Zion, to

give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.

Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

I heard the voice of Jesus, saying: Suffer little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

I am the Resurrection and the Life, saith the Lord, he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.

As we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory.

O Death, where is thy sting? O Grave, where is thy victory?

Thanks be to God who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
