All things were made by him, and without him was made nothing that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men ; and the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was J ohn. This man came for a witness to give testimony of the Light, that all men might believe through him. He was not the Light, but was to give testimony of the Light. That was the true Light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, he gave them power to be made the sons of God, to those HYMNS. who believe in his name, who are not bom of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt amongst us, (and we sa^ his glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

R. Thanks be to God. % fqmsita anil Smiirtimt nf tip Stall $arranunt. 0 SALUTARIS Hostia, Quae coeli pandis osti- um; Bella premunt hosti- le; Da robur, fer auxili- uni. Uni trinoque Domino, Sit sempitema gloria ; Qui vitam sine termi- no, Nobis donet in patria. Amen
