 hast made heaven and earth. We acknowledge, Je- 
 hovah, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers: 
 for we have sinned against Thee. We are all as an un- 
 clean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy 
 rags: and we all do fade as a leaf: and our iniquities, 
 like the wind, have taken us away. ! remember not 
 against us our former iniquities : let thy tender mercies 
 speedily prevent us : for we are brought very low. Help 
 us, God of our salvation, for the glory of Thy name :

 THE NEW JERUSALEM. 
 I. 
 
 AND I saw a new heaven and a new earth : for the 
 first heaven and the first earth were passed away; 
 and there was no more sea. And I, John, saw the 
 holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God 
 out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her 
 husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven 
 saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, 
 and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His 
 people, and God himself shall be with them, their God. 
 
 And God shall wipe away all | tears 'from their | eyes; 
 
 And there shall be no more | death, neither | sor'row, nor | 
 
 > crying; 
 Neither shall there be | any ■ more I pain : 
 For the former J things are | passed a- | way. 
 
 IL 
 
 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I 
 make all things new. I am Alpha and Omega, the 
 Beginning and the End. I will give unto him that is 
 athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 
 
 And the Spirit and the | Bride say, | Come. 
 
 And let | him that | heareth say, | Come. 
 
 And let him that | thirsteth | come. 
 
 And whosoever will, let him take the | waiter of | life | freely 
 
 IIT. 
 
 And there came unto me one of the seven angels, 
 and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will show 
 
FOR THE FIRST SABBATH OF THE MONTH. 9 
 
 thee the Bride, the Lamb's wife. And he carried me 
 away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and 
 showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descend- 
 ing out of heaven from God, having the glory of God: 
 and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even 
 like a jasper stone, clear as crystal ; and had a wall 
 great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates 
 twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are 
 the names of the twelve tribes of the children of 
 Israel. 
 
 And the twelve gates were | twelve | pearls ; 
 Every several | gate ' was of | one | pearl : 
 And the street of the city was | pure | gold, 
 As it | were trans- | parent | glass. 
 
 IV. 
 
 » 
 
 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and 
 in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 
 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to mea- 
 sure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall there- 
 of. And the city lieth four square ; and the length is 
 as large as the breadth : and he measured the city with 
 the reed, twelve thousand furlongs : the length and the 
 breadth and the hight of it are equal. And he mea- 
 sured the wall thereof, an hundred forty and four 
 cubits, the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. And 
 I saw no temple therein : for the Lord God Almighty, 
 even the Lamb is the temple of it. 
 
 And the city had no | need of the | sun, 
 Neither of the | moon, to I shine in j it : 
 For the glory of God did | lighten | it, 
 And the ] Lamb ' is the | light there- | of. 
 
 y. 
 
 And the nations of them that are saved shall walk 
 in the light of it : and the kings of the earth do bring 
 their glory and honor into it. And the gates of it 
 shall not be shut at all by day : for there shall be no 
 night there. And they shall bring the glory and honor 
 of the nations into it. 
 
10 ORDER OF WORSHIP. 
 
 And there shall in no wise enter I into I it 
 
 Any | thing | that de- | filcth, 
 
 Or worketh abomination, or | mak'eth a | lie: 
 
 But they that are written in the | Lamb's | bock of | life. 
 
 VI. 
 
 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, 
 clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God 
 and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and 
 on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which 
 bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit 
 every month : and the leaves of the tree were for the 
 healing of the nations. 
 
 And the throne of God and of the Lamb shall | be in | it, 
 
 And His | ser'vants shall | serve | him: 
 
 And they shall | see his | face; • 
 
 And His I name shall | be • in their f foreheads. 
 
 VII. 
 
 And, behold, I come quickly ; and my reward is with 
 me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 
 I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, 
 the First and the Last. Blessed are they that do His 
 commandments, that they may have right to the tree 
 of life, and may enter in through the gates into the 
 city. I, Jesus, have sent mine, angel to testify unto 
 you these things in the churches. I am the root and 
 the offspring of David, the bright and morning Star. 
 
 He that testifieth | these | things, 
 Saith, | Surely j 1 come | quickly: 
 
 A | I men. 
 
 Even | so, J come, Lord | Jesus.

 THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. 
 
 NOW, therefore, hearken, Israel, to the statutes 
 and to the judgments which I teach you, to do, 
 that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which 
 Jehovah, the God of your fathers, giveth you. Ye shall 
 not add to the word which I command you, neither 
 shall ye diminish from it, that ye may keep the com- 
 mandments of Jehovah, your God, which I command 
 you. 
 
 And God spake all these words, saying : 
 
 I AM Jehovah thy God, who have brought thee out 
 of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 
 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt 
 not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness 
 of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the 
 earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth : 
 thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve 
 them : for I, Jehovah thy God, am a jealous God, 
 visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children 
 unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate 
 me ; and showing mercy unto the thousandth generation 
 of them that love me, and keep my commandments. 
 
 Holy, holy, holy, is Je- | hovah of I Hosts: 
 The whole | earth is | full of His | glory. 
 
 II. 
 
 Thou shalt not take the name of Jehovah, thy God, 
 in vain: for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that 
 taketh His name in vain.

 fulfill. For verily I say unto you : Till heaven and 
 earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass 
 from the Law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever, there- 
 fore, shall, break one of the least of these command- 
 ments, and shall teach men so, shall be called the least 
 in the kingdom of the heavens : but whosoever shall do 
 and teach them, the same shall be called great in the 
 kingdom of the heavens. 
 
 Forever, | O Je- | hovah, 
 
 Thy Word is es- I tablished | in the | heavens : 
 
 Thy faithfulness is unto all | gene- | rations. 
 
 Thou hath established the | earth, and it | standeth | firm. 
 
 AND Jesus said : The first of all the commandments 
 is, Hear, Israel, the Lord our God is one 
 Lord : And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all 
 thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, 
 and with all thy strength. 
 
 With my whole heart have I I sought | Thee :

 Thy Word have I | hid in mine | heart: 
 
 That 1 might not | sin a- | gainst | Thee.

 neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang 
 all the Law and the Prophets.

 THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. 
 
 HEAR, Israel, the statutes and judgments which 
 I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn 
 them, and keep, and do them. Jehovah talked with 
 you face to face in the mount, out of the midst of the 
 fire, saying : 
 
 I AM Jehovah thy God, who brought thee out of 
 the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 
 Thou shalt have none other gods before Me. Thou shalt 
 not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of 
 any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the 
 earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the 
 earth : thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor 
 serve them : for I, Jehovah Thy God, am a jealous 
 God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the child- 
 ren, unto the third and fourth generation of them that 
 hate Me ; and showing mercy unto the thousandth 
 generation of them that love Me, and keep My com- 
 mandments. 
 
 Holy, holy, holy, Loed | God Al- | mighty : 
 AYlio was, and who | is, and who | is to j come.

 in vain : for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that 
 taketh His Name in vain.

 And glorify Thy Name? for | Thou a- | lone art ] holy. 
 
 III. 
 
 Keep the Sabbath day, to sanctify it, as Jehovah, 
 thy God, hath commanded thee. Six days thou shalt 
 labor, and do all thy work : but the seventh day is the 
 Sabbath of Jehovah, thy God : in it thou shalt not do 
 any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy

 thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that

 servant may rest as well as thou. And remember that 
 thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that . 
 Jehovah, thy God, brought thee out thence through a 
 mighty hand and by an outstretched arm : therefore 
 Jehovah, thy God, commanded thee to keep the Sab- 
 bath day.

 these Three are distinct, and, at the same time, united 
 in Him, as the soul, the body, and the operation are 
 in man : and this one God is the Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
 2. Saving faith is to believe in Him as the Redeemer, 
 Regenerator, and Saviour from sin. 
 
 3. The Sacred Scripture is Divine Truth : it is 
 revealed to us as a means by which we may distinguish 
 between good and evil : by which we may be delivered 
 from the influence of evil spirits, and become associated 
 with angels, and conjoined with the Lord. 
 
 4. We must shun our evils, because they are sins 
 against God, and because they flow from hell : and we 
 must do good, because it is of God, and from God. 
 
 5. In abstaining from evil and in doing good, we 
 are to act as of ourselves: but we must, at the same 
 time, believe and acknowledge that the will, the under-

 alone.

 ORDINANCE OF BAPTISM. 
 
 The Minister and candidate standing near the font, the service may be com 
 menced by reading one or more of the following passages. 
 
 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, 
 Saith your God. 
 
 Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, 
 That her warfare is accomplished, 
 That her iniquity is pardoned : 
 For she hath received of Jehovah's hand 
 Double for all her sins. 
 
 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, 
 Prepare ye the way of Jehovah ; 
 Make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 
 Every valiey shall be exalted, 
 And every mountain and hill shall be made low: 
 And the crooked shall be made straight, 
 And the rough places plain : 
 And the glory of Jehovah shall be revealed, 
 And all Mesh shall see it together: 
 For the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken it. — Is.xl.l-5> 
 
 Behold, I will send my messenger, 
 And he shall prepare the way before me : 
 And the Lord, whom ye seek, 
 Shall suddenly come to his temple, 
 Even the Messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight 
 
 in : 
 Behold, he shall come, saith Jehovah of hosts. 
 But who may abide the day of his coming? 
 
48 BAPTISM. 
 
 And who shall stand when lie appeareth ? 
 
 For he is like a refiner's fire, and like fuller's soap. 
 
 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: 
 
 And he shall purify the sons of Levi, 
 
 And purge them as gold and silver, 
 
 That they may oiler unto Jehovah 
 
 An offering in righteousness. 
 
 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem 
 
 Be pleasant unto Jehovah, 
 
 As in the days of old, 
 
 And as in former years. — Mai. iii. 1-4. 
 
 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in 
 the wilderness of Judsea, and saying, Repent ye : for 
 the kingdom of heaven is at hand. For this is he that 
 was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The 
 voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the 
 way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 
 
 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, 
 and a leathern girdle about his loins ; and his meat 
 was locusts and wild honey. 
 
 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, 
 and all the region round about the Jordan, and were 
 baptized of him in the Jordan, confessing their sins. 
 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Saddu- 
 
 es come to- his baptism, he said unto them, O gene- 
 ration of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from 
 the wrath to come ? Bring forth therefore fruits meet 
 for repentance: and think not to say within your- 
 selves, We have Abraham for father: for I say unto 
 you, that God is able of these stones to raise up child- 
 ren unto Abraham. And now also the axe is laid 
 unto the root of the trees : therefore every tree which 
 bringetb not forth good fruit, is hewn down, and cast 
 into the fire. I indeed baptize you with water unto 
 repentance; but he that cometh after me is mightier 
 than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall 
 baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire : whose 
 fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his 
 floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he 
 will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordaf a j ns t 
 John, to be baptized of him. But John forbade i^ se 
 saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and come, 
 thou to me ? And Jesus answering said unto him, 
 Suffer it to be so now; for thus it becometh us to 
 fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. And 
 Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway 
 out of the water : and, lo, the heavens were opened 
 unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending 
 like a dove, and lighting upon him : and lo a voice 
 from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom 
 I am well pleased. — Mat. iii. 
 
 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicode- 
 mus, a ruler of the Jews : the same came to Jesus by 
 night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou 
 art a teacher come from God : for no one can do 
 these miracles that thou doest, except God be with 
 him. 
 
 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I 
 gay unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot 
 see the kingdom of God. 
 
 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born 
 when he is old ? can he enter the second time into his 
 mother's womb, and be born? 
 
 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, ex- 
 cept a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he 
 cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which 
 is born of the flesh is flesh ; and that which is born of 
 the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, 
 Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it 
 listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst 
 not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth : so 
 is every one that is born of the Spirit. — John iii. 1-8. 
 
 And they brought young children to him, that he 
 should touch them : and the disciples rebuked those 
 that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was 
 
 uch displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little 
 children to come unto me, and forbid them not : for 
 of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto 
 o

 pared, that Jehovah the Lord might be able to come 
 down into the world, and perform redemption. — T. 
 C. R. 688. The reason why a way was prepared by 
 the baptism of John was, because, by means of that, 
 they were introduced into the future church of the 
 Lord, and in heaven were inserted among those there 
 who expected and desired the Messiah, and thus were 
 guarded by angels, so that devils from hell might not 
 break forth and destroy them."] — T. C. R. 689. 
 
 "As soon as infants are baptized, angels are ap- 
 pointed over them by the Lord, to take care of them ; 
 by whom they are kept in a state of receiving faith in 
 the Lord : and as they grow up, and come to the ex- 
 ercise of their own right and their own reason, the 
 guardian angels leave them, and they associate to 
 themselves such spirits as make one with their life 
 and faith.— T. C. R. 677. 
 
 " That not only infants, but also all, are inserted by 
 baptism among Christians in the spiritual world, is 
 because people and nations in that world are distin- 
 guished according to their religions. Moreover, all 
 of the same religion are arranged into societies in 
 heaven, according to the affections of love to God and 
 love towards the neighbor. In the spiritual world, by 
 which is meant both heaven and hell, all things are 
 most distinctly arranged, in the whole and in every 
 part, or in general and in every particular. On this 
 distinct arrangement there, the preservation of the 
 whole universe depends ; and this distinction cannot 
 be effected, unless every one, after he is born, be 
 Anown by some sign, indicating to what religious 
 assembly he belongs ; for, without the Christian sign, 
 which is baptism, some Mahometan spirit, or some- 
 one of the idolaters, might apply himself to Christian 
 infants newly born, and also to children, and infuse 
 into them an inclination for his religion, and thus 
 draw away their mind, and alienate them from Christ- 
 ianity ; which would be to distort and destroy spirit- 
 ual order."— T. C. R. 678. 
 
 " Thus baptism signifies initiation into the church, 
 and into those things which are of the church ; thus 
 
BAPTISM. 53 
 
 it signifies regeneration, and those things which are 
 of regeneration : not that by baptism any one is re- 
 generated, but that it is a sign of it, which he should 
 remember." — A. C. 4255. 
 
 Then the Minister may read the whole or a part of the following 
 INSTRUCTION. 
 
 The divine ordinance of Baptism is designed to 
 promote the regeneration and salvation of men. It 
 is one of the means by which we may be protected 
 from evil influences, and prepared to receive the good 
 influences of the Lord and his angels. 
 
 This ordinance has a spiritual signification, and 
 denotes the cleansing of the mind. For as water is 
 the means of cleansing the body, so truth is the means 
 of cleansing the mind. Hence water corresponds to 
 and denotes truth ; that is, such instruction concern- 
 ing our duty as we find in the literal sense of the 
 Sacred Scriptures, and particularly in the Ten Com- 
 mandments. And the application of water to the 
 body corresponds to and denotes the work -of purify- 
 ing the mind by obeying and conforming to the truth. 
 And while merely natural men see nothing but the 
 natural sign, and understand the ordinance only ac- 
 cording to its natural sense, spiritual men, and the 
 angels who are associated with them, perceive the 
 things which are signified, and so understand the or- 
 dinance in its spiritual sense. Consequently, when 
 we are administering or receiving this ordinance, a 
 union is effected between us and the angels, between 
 our feelings and their feelings, between our thoughts 
 and their thoughts, and between our efforts and their 
 efforts : thus they unite with us in this sacred ordi- 
 nance, as they afterwards unite in performing the 
 spiritual work which is represented by it. 
 
 "When we know that baptism denotes the purifica- 
 tion of the mind and life, we can see why it is made 
 to be the sign of introduction into the church; for it 
 5* 
 
54 BAPTISM. 
 
 represents the whole work by which* a man becomes 
 a true member of the church. 
 
 From the spiritual signification of baptism, we 
 can see the duty of all who have any thing to do in 
 relation to it — the duty of the church, the duty of 
 parents and guardians, and the duty of all who re' 
 ceive it. 
 
 When the ordinance is administered, it is the duly 
 of the members of the church to desire and to pray 
 that those who receive it may receive that which is 
 denoted by it ; and it is afterwards their duty to do 
 all that they can to promote that object. 
 
 When parents and guardians present for baptism 
 the children that have been committed to their care, 
 they ought to desire and pray that they may be spi- 
 ritually baptized; that when they come to the age 
 of freedom and rationality, they may be regenerated, 
 and thus prepared for the Lord's kingdom : and it 
 thenceforth becomes their duty to endeavor to pro- 
 mote this object, by withdrawing them from evil and 
 leading them to good, by implanting true ideas and 
 cherishing good affections in their minds, and by 
 causing them to know and acknowledge that every 
 thing good and true in them cometh down from Him 
 who alone is good and true — from the Source of their 
 spiritual life — from their Father who is in heaven. 
 And this duty of parents and guardians continues 
 until their children come to maturity, and are thus 
 transformed into brothers, and sisters, and friends. 
 
 And as children become able to understand, it is 
 their duty to listen and conform to the instruction 
 which is given to them, to love and to honor their 
 parents and teachers, and to look up through them to 
 the Lord, who is over all. 
 
 But there are some who are not baptized, until they 
 come to maturity, and are able to understand the na- 
 ture of the ordinance. When they become sensible 
 of their evils and impurities, and desire to be cleansed 
 and delivered from them, then it is proper for them to 
 be baptized : for baptism represents the purification 
 of the mind ; and in coming forward to be baptized, 
 
BAPTISM. 55 
 
 they express the desire that they may have this spirit- 
 ual work done in them, and also the desire that they 
 may become associated with those in the spiritual 
 world and in the natural world, who will aid them in 
 performing the work 
 
 And when they desire to gain more knowledge of 
 the Lord, of his Word, and of his kingdom, and more 
 knowledge of their duty in relation to him and to one 
 another, then it is proper for them to be baptized ; for 
 baptism is the means which the Lord has appointed 
 for introducing them to angels of. heaven, and to 
 members of the church upon earth, who will commu- 
 nicate unto them their views and feelings, who will 
 assist them by their experience, who will aid them in 
 understanding the things which have been revealed 
 to them — in perceiving their goodness, as well as 
 their truth — and will thus aid them in bringing them 
 into the life. 
 
 Here the Minister may read the following 
 DOCTRINES OF THE NEW CHURCH. 
 
 1. That there is one God : that in him is a Divine 
 Trinity called the Father, the Son, and the Holy 
 Spirit : that these three are distinct, and at the ?ame 
 time united in him, as the soul, the body, and the 
 operation are in man : and that the one God is the 
 Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
 2. That saving faith is to believe in him as the 
 Redeemer, Regenerator, and Savior from sin. 
 
 3. That the Sacred Scripture is Divine Truth : that 
 it is revealed to us as a means by which we may dis- 
 tinguish between good and evil ; by which we may 
 be delivered from the influence of evil spirits ; and by 
 which we may become associated with angels, and 
 conjoined with the Lord. 
 
 4. That we must abstain from doing evil, because 
 it is of the devil and from the devil : and that we must 
 do good, because it is of God and from God. 
 
56 BAPXISM. 
 
 o. That in abstaining from evil and in doing good 
 we are to act as of ourselves ; but we must at the 
 same time believe and acknowledge that the will, 
 the understanding, and the power to do so, are of the 
 Loud alone. 
 
 Here the Minister may address the adult candidate in the following manner. 
 
 Min. You have been instructed in the signification 
 and use of the sacred ordinance of Baptism, and you 
 have heard what 'are the doctrines of the New Church : 
 Do you now desire to come into a more full know- 
 ledge and acknowledgment of these doctrines, and 
 to live according to them ; that through faith in the 
 Lord, and obedience to his commandments, you may 
 receive that internal and spiritual baptism, which the 
 outward ordinance represents ? and for this end do 
 you desire to be introduced into the Lord's New 
 Church by the ordinance of baptism ? 
 
 Answer : — I do. 
 
 When adults are to he baptized, who have been adequately instructed In 
 the doctrines of the New Church, and have given satisfactory evidence of 
 having entered upon a corresponding life, the following questions may bo 
 used instead of the above. In the case of such persons it is not expected 
 that the Confirmation Service will be used. 
 
 Min. You have been instructed in the significa- 
 tion and use of the sacred ordinance of Baptism, and 
 you have heard what are the doctrines of the New 
 Church : Do you now declare your belief and ac- 
 knowledgment of those doctrines, and by the divine 
 mercy of the Lord are you endeavoring to live accord- 
 ing to them ; that through faith in him, and obe- 
 dience to his commandments, you may receive that 
 internal and spiritual baptism, which the outward or- 
 dinance represents ? and for this end do you desire to 
 be introduced into the Lord's New Church by the 
 ordinance of Baptism ? 
 
 Answer : — I do. 
 
BAPTISM. 57 
 
 When infants or children nre to be baptized, the Minister may say to tho 
 parents or guardians: 
 
 Min You have now been instructed in the signi- 
 fication and use of the sacred ordinance of Baptism, 
 and you have heard what are the doctrines of the 
 New Church : Do you desire and intend to have this 
 child brought up in the knowledge and acknowledg- 
 ment of these doctrines, and in a life according to 
 them ; that through faith in the Lord, and obedience 
 to him, he may receive that internal and spiritual 
 baptism, which the outward ordinance represents? 
 and for this end do you desire to have him baptized 
 into the Lord's New Church ? 
 
 Answer : — I do. 
 
 Here may be nsed the following prayer, or the Lord's Prayer, or both. 
 
 Most merciful Lord, who dost baptize with the 
 Holy Spirit and with fire, and who dost invite all 
 men to come unto thee, that they may be made heirs 
 of thine eternal kingdom ; bless, we pray thee, the 
 administration of thy holy ordinance ; graciously re- 
 ceive this person [or this child, or these, &c.,] now 
 about to be baptized, into thy True Christian Church ; 
 insert him as to spirit among Christians in the spirit- 
 ual world, and thus embrace him within the arms of 
 thy divine protection, [and thereby preserve him in a 
 state to receive faith in thee,] and bestow on him the 
 blessings of thy Holy Spirit. Being enrolled by bap- 
 tism in the number of those who acknowledge thee 
 to be the only God of heaven and earth, the Redeemer 
 and Savior of mankind, may he henceforth deny 
 himself, and take up his cross, and follow thee. [As 
 he grows in stature] May he grow in the knowledge 
 and love of thee, and of thy kingdom. May he re- 
 nounce the evils of self-love and the love of the world, 
 engage victoriously in the spiritual conflicts necessary 
 for his purification, and live a life devoted to thy will. 
 So may he be cleansed from the impurities of his na- 
 ture, be established in love to thee and charity to- 
 wards his neighbor, and finally be raised into thy 
 heavenly kingdom. Amen. 
 
68 BAPTll&I. 
 
 Our Father, who art in the heavens ; Hallowed be 
 thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, 
 as in heaven, so also upon the earth. Give us this 
 day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as 
 we also forgive our debtors. And lead us not into 
 temptation; but deliver us from evil. For thine is 
 the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. 
 Amen. 
 
 Then the Minister, naming tfee person to be baptized, and applying the 
 water to his forehead, shall say : 
 
 a t> f Thou art hereby baptized ) . . 
 ( (or) 1 baptize thee \ 
 
 the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the 
 Holy Spirit : Amen. 
 
 Jehovah bless thee, and keep thee : Jehovah make 
 his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto 
 thee : Jehovah lift up his countenance upon thee, 
 and give thee peace. 
 
 Then taking the person by the right hand, the Minister may say: 
 
 We receive this person, [or this child,] now bap- 
 tized with water, into the Lord's Church on earth ; 
 to the end that by the baptism of repentance and re- 
 generation, he may finally be received into the Lord's 
 kingdom in heaven. 
 
 The Minister may then use the following Exhortation. 
 TO ADULTS. 
 
 You have now been admitted by baptism into the 
 True Christian Church, and have taken the name of 
 a Christian of the New Jerusalem. This is the first 
 use of baptism. But there must be a knowledge and 
 acknowledgment of the Lord, into whose name you 
 have been baptized, together with faith and obedi- 
 ence, as a means of becoming regenerated. It is the 
 
BAPTISM. 69 
 
 Lord's will that these more essential uses shall follow. 
 But this must depend upon the quality of your future 
 life. Cultivate, therefore, with all diligence, an ac- 
 quaintance with the Holy Word, and with the hea- 
 venly doctrines of the New Jerusalem. Shun all 
 evils as sins against God. Renounce the lov®. of self 
 and the world, and learn to love the Lord with all 
 your heart, and your neighbor as yourself. Thus will 
 you become useful and happy in this life, and attain 
 to an eternal inheritance in the kingdom of heaven. 
 
 TO THE PARENTS AND GUARDIANS OF CHILDREN. 
 
 To you as his earthly parents the care of this child 
 is committed by his Father in heaven. Be faithful, 
 therefore, to the trust It is the will of the Lord that 
 this child shall be trained for heaven ; and he has ap- 
 pointed you to the discharge of this sacred duty. 
 Endeavor to educate him with continual reference to 
 the end for which he was created. Form aright his 
 mind and life, while under your immediate control: 
 " For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole 
 world, and lose his own soul ? " Let him be initiated 
 into the worship and acknowledgment of the Lord, 
 according to the Heavenly Doctrines of the New Jeru- 
 salem. Let him learn by heart the Lord's Prayer, the 
 Ten Commandments, and the " Doctrines of the New 
 Church." Teach him to shun all evils as sins against 
 God, and to love the Lord with all his heart, and his 
 neighbor as himself. Thus will he be prepared for a 
 useful and happy life in this world and for eternal 
 usefulness and happiness in heaven. 
 
 Instead of the above exlwrtation, or after it, one or more of the following 
 passages from the Word may be read. 
 
 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the 
 
 baptism of repentance for the remission of sins 
 
 And he preached, saying, There cometh one mightier 
 than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not 
 worthy to stoop down and unloose. I indeed have 
 baptized you with water ; but he shall baptize you 
 with the Holy Spirit. — Mark i. 4, 7, 8. 
 
60 BAPTISM. 
 
 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Ex- 
 cept a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he 
 cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which 
 is born of the flesh is flesh ; and that which is born of 
 the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, 
 Ye must be born again. — John iii. 5-7. 
 
 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, 
 shall enter into the kingdom of heaven ; but he that 
 doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.— 
 Mat. vii. 21. 
 
 If any one will come after me, let him deny him- 
 self, and take up his cross, and follow me. For who- 
 soever will save his life, shall lose it : and whosoever 
 will lose his life for my sake, shall find it. — Mat. xvi. 
 24, 25. 
 
 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and 
 am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, 
 even so know I the Father : and I lay down my life 
 for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not 
 of this fold : them also I must bring, and they shall 
 hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, one shep- 
 herd. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I 
 lay down my life, that I might take it again. No 
 one taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. 
 I have power to lay it down, and I have power to 
 take it again. This commandment have I received 
 of my Father. — John x. 14-18. 
 
 Mv sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and 
 they follow me: and I give unto them eternal ife; 
 and they shall never perish, neither shall any one 
 pluck them out of my hand. My Father, who gave 
 them me, is greater than all ; and no one is able to 
 pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and the 
 Father are one. — John x. 27-30. 
 
 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good 
 Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have 
 
BAPTISM. 61 
 
 eternal life ? And he said unto him, If thou 
 
 wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. — Mat. 
 xix. 16, 17. 
 
 The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Is- 
 rael; the Lord our God is one Lord: And thou 
 shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and 
 with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all 
 thy strength. This is the first commandment. And 
 the second is like unto it: Thou shalt love thy neigh- 
 bor as thyself. There is none other commandment 
 greater than these. — Mark xii. 29-31. 
 
 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that 
 men should do to you, do ye even so to them : for this 
 is the law and the prophets. — Mat. vii. 12. 
 
 And these words, which I command thee, shall be 
 in thine heart : and thou shalt teach them diligently 
 unto thy children ; and shalt talk of them when thou 
 sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the 
 way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest 
 up. — Deut. vi. 6. 7. 
 
 Here a suitable Selection, or Hymn, may be sung, if convenient. 
 
 BENEDICTION. 
 
 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you 
 all : Amen.

CONFIRMATION. 
 
 [There are two Sacraments in the church, Baptism, and the 
 Holy Supper. Baptism represents the removal of evils and falsi- 
 ties by means of truth; and the Holy Supper represents the recep- 
 tion of goods and truths from the Lord. Besides these there are 
 no divinely appointed Sacraments. 
 
 It is proper, however, that those persons who were baptized in 
 infancy or childhood, should, when they come to adult age — and 
 those adults who are baptized before they come to a full knowledge 
 and acknowledgment of the doctrines of the New Jerusalem, should, 
 after a suitable time, make a full acknowledgment of the doctrines, 
 and of their desire and effort to live according to them. For thia 
 purpose the following service is prepared.] 
 
 The Minister may commence the service by reading one or more of the 
 following passages. 
 
 There was a man sent from God, whose name was 
 John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness 
 of the Light, that all through him might believe. He 
 was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of 
 that Light. That was the true Light, which enlight- 
 eneth every man that cometh into the 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 re- 
 ceived him, to them gave he power to become child- 
 ren of God, even to them that believe on his name: 
 Who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the 
 flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. — John i. 
 6-13. 
 
CONFIRMATION. 63 
 
 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Ex- 
 cept a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he 
 cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which 
 is born of the flesh is flesh ; and that which is born of 
 the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, 
 Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it 
 listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof; but canst 
 not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth : so is 
 every one that is born of the Spirit. — John iii. 5-8. 
 
 Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of 
 the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves 
 and robbers : but the sheep did not hear them. I am 
 the door : by me if any one enter in, he shall be saved, 
 and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief 
 cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to de- 
 stroy : I am come that they might have life, and that 
 they might have it more abundantly. I am the good 
 shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the 
 sheep. — John x. 7-11. 
 
 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and 
 am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, 
 even so know I the Father : and I lay down my life 
 for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not 
 of this fold : them also I must bring, and they shall 
 hear my voice ; and there shall be one fold, one shep- 
 herd. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I 
 lay down my life, that I might take it again. No one 
 taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I 
 have power to lay it down, and I have power to take 
 it again This commandment have I received of my 
 Father. — John x. 14-18. 
 
 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and 
 they follow me : and I give unto them eternal life ; 
 and they shall never perish, neither shall any one 
 pluck them out of my hand. My Father, who gave 
 them me, is greater than all ; and no one is able to 
 pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and the 
 Father are one. — John x. 27-30. 
 
64 CONFIRMATION. 
 
 I am the way, the truth, and the life : no one com- 
 eth unto the Father but by me. If ye had known 
 me, ye would have known my Father also : and from 
 henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip 
 saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it suf- 
 ficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long 
 time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, 
 Philip? he that hath seen me, hath seen the Father; 
 and how sayest thou, Show us the Father? Be- 
 lievest thou not that I am in the Father, and the 
 Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I 
 speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth 
 in me, he doeth the works. Believe me, that I am in 
 the Father, and the Father in me : or else believe 
 me for the very works' sake. Verily, verily, I say 
 unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I 
 do shall he do also : and greater ones than these shall 
 he do, because I go unto my Father. And whatso- 
 ever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do; that the 
 Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask 
 any thing in my name, I will do it. — John xiv. 6-14. 
 
 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye 
 shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 
 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much 
 fruit : so shall ye be my disciples. As the Father 
 hath loved me, so have I loved you : continue ye in 
 my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall 
 abide in my love ; even as I have kept my Father's 
 commandments, and abide in his love. These things 
 have 1 spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in 
 you, and that your joy might be full. — John xv. 7- 11. 
 
 This is my commandment, That ye love one ano- 
 ther, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no one 
 than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. 
 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command 
 you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the ser- 
 vant knoweth not what his lord doeth : but I have 
 called you friends; for all things that I have heard of 
 my Father, I have made known unto you. Ye have 
 
CONFIRMATION. 65 
 
 not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained 
 you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that 
 your fruit should remain ; that whatsoever ye shall 
 ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 
 These things I command you, that ye love one ano- 
 ther. — John xv. 12-17. 
 
 Then may be read the following 
 INSTRUCTION. 
 
 " The two Sacraments, Baptism and the Holy 
 Supper, are, as it were, two gates to eternal life. 
 Every Christian man, by baptism, which is the first 
 gate, is admitted and introduced into the things 
 which the church teaches from the "Word concerning 
 another life ; which all are means by which man may 
 be prepared for and led to heaven. The other gate 
 is the Holy Supper, through which every man, who 
 has suffered himself to be prepared and led by the 
 Lord, is admitted and introduced into heaven. There 
 are no more universal gates. 
 
 "After the first gate there is a plain, over which 
 he must run ; and the other is the goal, where is the 
 prize, to which he directed his course : for the palm 
 is not given till after the contest, nor the reward till 
 after the combat — T. C. R. 721. 
 
 " These Sacraments may also be compared to a 
 double temple, one of which is below, and the other 
 above ; and in the lower of which the gospel concern- 
 ing the new advent of the Lord is preached, and also 
 concerning regeneration and thence salvation by Him. 
 From this temple, around the altar, there is an ascent 
 into the upper temple, in which the Holy Supper is 
 celebrated ; and thence a passage into heaven, where 
 the Lord receives them. 
 
 " They may also be compared to the tabernacle; 
 
 in which, behind the entrance, appeared the table 
 
 upon which the bread of faces was arranged in order; 
 
 and also the golden altar of incense ; and in the midst, 
 
 6* 
 
66 CONFIRMATION. 
 
 the candlestick with the lamps lighted, by which all 
 those things come into view; and at length, for those 
 who suffer themselves to be illuminated, the veil is 
 opened to the Holy of Holies : where, in the place of 
 the ark, in which the decalogue had been, .the Word 
 is laid up, over which was the propitiatory, with che- 
 rubs" of gold."— T. C. R. 669 
 
 ADDRESS TO THOSE WHO WERE BAPTIZED IN INFANCY OB 
 CHILDHOOD. 
 
 You were baptized in the New Church during your 
 infancy [or childhood]. While you were unable to 
 do any thing for yourself, the Lord provided that 
 your parents [or guardians] should take care of you. 
 They have been led to do such things as were condu- 
 cive both to your spiritual and your natural welfare. 
 They have taken care of your body, and prepared you 
 for living in this world ; and, at the same time, they 
 have taken care of your mind, and endeavored to pre- 
 pare you to live in the spiritual world. 
 
 By bringing you to the ordinance of baptism in the 
 New Church, they have not only introduced you into 
 the Church, but they have brought you under the care 
 of the angels of the New Heaven. These angels have 
 constantly attended upon you, and watched over you 
 for your good. They have endeavored to protect you 
 from evil influences, and to cause you to receive good 
 influences. While the Lord has by his Spirit and 
 Providence caused your parents to operate upon you 
 in a natural and visible manner, he has led your an- 
 gels to operate upon you in a spiritual and invisible 
 manner. While he has caused your parents to love 
 you, to give you spiritual instruction, and to lead you 
 in the way that you should go, he has through his 
 angels inspired you with a love for your parents, and 
 a disposition to listen to them ; he has given you an 
 affection for the truths of his Word and the doctrines 
 of his Church, and a desire to live according to tbem. 
 
 Many, very many things have been done for you, 
 
CONFIRMATION. 67 
 
 while you have been unable to cooperate, while you 
 did not even know that any one was taking thought 
 for your welfare, and consequently while you did not 
 know how much you had to be thankful for. Others 
 labored, and ye have entered into their labors. But 
 those who labored for you are blessed. It is happi- 
 ness to them to see you enjoying the fruits of their 
 labors ; and they will be still more blessed, when they 
 begin to see you enjoying the happiness of doing for 
 others what they have done for you. 
 
 But you have been coming forward ; your faculties 
 have been gradually unfolding; you have therefore 
 been able to cooperate more and more with those who 
 have been working for you. You have been able to 
 act more and more voluntarily, and as of yourself in 
 conforming to the instruction which you have re- 
 ceived. We trust that you have in some degree been 
 enabled to cooperate with the influence of the Lord 
 and his angels, in contending against your natural, 
 selfish, and worldly inclinations ; and that you have 
 consequently, in some degree, become receptive of the 
 loves which come down from heaven — of love to the 
 Lord and love to the neighbor. We trust that you 
 have begun to do that which is, in the spiritual sense, 
 denoted by eating of his flesh and drinking his blood ; 
 and that you are, therefore, prepared to come to the 
 ordinance of the Holy Supper. 
 
 As you have now arrived at adult age, and as your 
 faculties of freedom and rationality are unfolded, the 
 duty henceforth devolves upon you, to cultivate, to 
 regulate, and to use those faculties. Your natural 
 parents [or guardians] will no longer think that they 
 ought to control you, but will desire that you should 
 be a free and rational being. They apparently leave 
 you to yourself; but you are not really left to your- 
 self: you are not an orphan : you are not without a 
 father and a mother. And we trust that as you have 
 been coming to maturity, you have been coming out 
 of a natural into a spiritual state of mind. We trust 
 that you have acquired some knowledge of, and have 
 learned to love, the spiritual influences which have 
 
68 CONFIRMATION. 
 
 been operating, and are now operating, upon you; 
 so that now, when you are coming out from under 
 the government of your natural parents [or guardians], 
 you do voluntarily come under the government of your 
 spiritual Parents — of the Lord, and of his Church. 
 We trust that you will look unto Him as your Fa- 
 ther, and to the holy city, the New Jerusalem, as your 
 Mother. 
 
 ADDRESS TO ADULTS WHO WERE BAPTIZED BEFORE PROFESSING 
 THEIR BELIEF IN THE DOCTRINES. 
 
 You have been introduced by Baptism into the 
 New Church ; and by the same means you have been 
 brought more fully under the influence of the angels 
 of the New Heaven. Under these influences and in 
 these circumstances you have been studying the Doc- 
 trines of the New Jerusalem ; and as you have pro- 
 ceeded, your understanding of them has been contin- 
 ually growing clearer, your faith in them firmer, and 
 your affection for them stronger. Spiritual darkness 
 has been dissipated ; spiritual clouds have been dis- 
 pelled or illuminated ; and the coldness of your na- 
 tural state has been yielding before the warmth of the 
 spiritual Sun. You are now, therefore, beginning to 
 feel established in these Doctrines, and to feel at home 
 in the Holy City that is coming down from God out 
 of heaven. 
 
 You have also been doing some of the spiritual 
 works which are denoted by baptism: you have been 
 abstaining from the evils whic*i are forbidden in the 
 Commandments, as sins against God ; and you have 
 been contending in vour own mind against the evil 
 affections and inclinations which would lead to those 
 sins. And in doing these things, you have not been 
 imagining that you were acting of yourself, and by 
 your own power; but you have believed and acknow- 
 ledged that you were acting from the Lord, and by 
 the power which he is continually giving you through 
 the influence of the Holy Spirit. And in consequence 
 of shunning evils internally as well as externally, you 
 have in some degree overcome the love of them ; and 
 
CONFIRMATION. 69 
 
 in the same degree you have begun to reeeive a love 
 for the opposite goods : as the love of self and the 
 love of the world have in some degree been brought 
 into subordination, so in the same degree the heavens 
 have been opened to you, and the Holy Spirit has 
 come down upon you ; that is, the internals of your 
 mind have been opened, and love to the Lord and 
 love to the neighbor have begun to flow down into 
 the externals : thus a holy, a sanctifying influence has 
 begun to descend, and to be diffused throughout the 
 whole man. You have thus begun to do internally 
 that which is denoted by receiving the Holy Supper: 
 for you have begun to receive into your will that 
 which is denoted by the bread, and into your under- 
 standing that which is denoted by the wine; and you 
 are therefore prepared to come to that ordinance, ex- 
 ternally. 
 
 Here the Minister may read the folio-wing 
 
 DOCTRINES OF THE NEW CHUECH. 
 
 1. That there is one God ; that in him is a Divine 
 Trinity called the Father, the Son, and the Holy 
 Spirit ; that these three are distinct, and at the same 
 time united in him, as the soul, the body, and the 
 operation are in man ; and that the one God is the 
 Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
 2. That saving faith is to believe in him as the 
 Redeemer, Regenerator, and Savior from sin. 
 
 3. That the Sacred Scripture is Divine Truth ; that 
 it is revealed to us as a means by which we may dis- 
 tinguish between good and evil, by which we may 
 be delivered from the influence of evil spirits, and by 
 which we may become associated with angels and 
 conjoined with the Lord. 
 
 4. That we must abstain from doing evil, because 
 it is of the devil and from the devil : and that we must 
 do good, because it is of God and from God. 
 
70 CONFIRMATION. 
 
 5. That in abstaining from evil and doing good we 
 are to act as of ourselves ; but we must at the same 
 time believe and acknowledge that the will, the un- 
 derstanding, and the power to do so, are of the Lord 
 alone. 
 
 Min. Do you acknowledge and receive these doc- 
 trines? 
 
 Answer : — I do. 
 
 Min. Do you desire and intend, by the divine mercy 
 of the Lord, to live according to them ? 
 
 Answer : — I do. 
 
 Min. You have been baptized with water, which 
 represents the truths that are contained in the literal 
 sense of the Scriptures : May you also be baptized 
 with the Holy Spirit and with fire; that is, with the 
 Divine Wisdom and the Divine Love which are con- 
 tained in the spiritual sense. 
 
 You have been baptized into the name of the Fa- 
 ther, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit : May 
 you have this baptism spiritually fulfilled in you : 
 May you receive into your mind and life that which 
 is denoted by the Father, that which is denoted by 
 the Son, and that which is denoted by the Holy 
 Spirit. May the Lord Jesus Christ abide in you, 
 and you in him ; so that you may be brought into 
 his image and likeness, and so that you may from 
 him bring forth the fruits of righteousness. 
 
 Then may be said the Lord's Prayer, all kneeling. 
 
 Our Father, who art in the heavens; Hallowed be 
 thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, 
 as in heaven, so also upon the earth. Give us this 
 day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as 
 we also forgive our debtors. And lead us not into 
 temptation ; but deliver us from evil. For thine is 
 the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever: 
 Amen. 
 
CONFIRMATION. 71 
 
 The candidate then krteels, or continues knceKng; find the Minister, laying 
 his hands on his head, may repeat one or both of the following blessings. 
 
 Blessed are they that do His commandments, that 
 they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter 
 in through the gates into the city. — Rev. xxii. 14. 
 
 Jehovah bless thee, and keep thee : Jehovah make 
 His face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto 
 thee : Jehovah lift up His countenance upon thee, 
 and give thee peace. — Num. vi. 24 - 26. 
 
 The service may be concluded by singing an Anthem, Selection, or Hymn ; 
 and by the Benediction, if no services follow.

THE 
 
 SACRAMENT OF THE HOLY SUPPER 
 
 [Persons who have been introduced into the New Church by 
 Baptism, and who have arrived at maturity, (which with males is at 
 the age of twenty-one, and with females at the age of eighteen years,) 
 who have made a full acknowledgment of their faith in the doctrines 
 of the church, and declared their desire and intention to live ac- 
 cording to them, and who are in a state of charity and peace with 
 their brethren, are regarded as proper persons to receive the sacra- 
 ment of the Holy Supper.] 
 
 The service may be commenced by singing an appropriate Selection or 
 Hymn. The Minister may then read the following. 
 
 ** THE INSTITUTION OF THE HOLY SUPPER BY THE LORD. 
 
 " Jesus kept the Passover with his disciples : and 
 when the evening was come, he sat down with them. 
 'And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, 
 and brake, and gave to his disciples, and said, Take, 
 eat; this is my body. And he took the cup; and 
 when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, 
 Drink ye all of it; for this is my blood of the New 
 Covenant, which is shed for many.' — Mat. xxvi. 26 - 
 28; Mark xiv. 22-24; Luke xxii. 19, 20. 
 
 "inE DOCTRINE OF THE LORD CONCERNING HIS FLESH AND 
 BLOOD AND CONCERNING THE BREAD AND WINE. 
 
 "' Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for 
 that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which 
 the Son of Man will give unto you. Verily, verily, 
 I say unto yon, Moses gave you not that bread from 
 
THE HOLY SUPPER. 73 
 
 heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread 
 from heaven : for the bread of God is he that cometh 
 down from heaven, and giveth life to the world. 1 
 am the bread of life : he that cometh unto me shall 
 never hunger, and he that believeth on me shall nevei 
 thirst. I am the bread which came down from hea- 
 ven. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth 
 on me hath everlasting life: I am that bread of life. 
 Your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and 
 are dead. This is the bread which cometh down 
 from heaven, that one may eat thereof, and not die. 
 I am the living bread which came down from heaven ; 
 if any one eat of this bread, he shall live for ever : and 
 the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will 
 give for the life of the world. Verily, verily, I say 
 unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man, 
 and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso 
 eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal 
 life; and I will raise him up at the last day: for my 
 flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 
 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, 
 dwelleth in me, and I in him.' — John vi. 27, 32, 33, 
 35, 41, 47-51, 53-56."— T. C. R. 703. 
 
 " The Holy Supper was instituted by the Lord, to 
 be a means whereby the church may have conjunction 
 with heaven, and thus with the Lord : it is, therefore, 
 the holiest solemnity of divine worship. 
 
 " The manner in which such conjunction is effected 
 by the Holy Supper, is not understood by those who 
 are unacquainted with the internal or spiritual sense 
 of the Word ; since they do not think beyond the ex- 
 ternal sense, which is that of the letter. It is only 
 from the internal or spiritual sense of the Word, that 
 it can be known what is signified by the Lord's body 
 and blood, and by the bread and the w T ine ; and also 
 what is signified by eating. 
 
 " In the spiritual sense, the Lord's body or flesh, 
 and the bread, signifies the good of love ; the Lord's 
 blood and the wine, the good of faith ; and eating, ap- 
 propriation and conjunction. In no other sense do 
 the angels, who are attendant on man when he re- 
 7 
 
74 THE HOLY SUPPER. 
 
 ceives the sacrament of the Supper, understand these 
 things; for they perceive all things spiritually. Hence 
 it is, that, on such occasions, a holy principle of love 
 and of faith flows into man from the angels, thus 
 through heaven from the Lord ; and hence conjunc- 
 tion is effected. 
 
 u From these considerations it is evident, that when 
 man partakes of the bread, which is the body, he is 
 conjoined to the Lord by the good of love, directed 
 to Him and derived from Him; and that when he 
 partakes of the wine, which is the blood, he is con- 
 joined to the Lord by the good of faith, directed 
 to Him and derived from Him. But it must be par- 
 ticularly observed, that conjunction with the Lord by 
 means of the sacrament of the Holy Supper, is effected 
 with those alone who are influenced by the good of 
 love to Him, and of faith in Him and from Him. 
 With these there is conjunction by means of this most 
 holy ordinance : with others there is indeed the 
 Lord's presence, but no conjunction with Him. 
 
 " Besides, the Holy Supper includes and compre- 
 hends the whole of the divine worship instituted in 
 the Israelitish Church ; for the burnt offerings and 
 sacrifices, in which the worship of that church princi- 
 pally consisted, were denominated by the single term 
 bread : hence, also, the Holy Supper is the comple- 
 tion or fulness of that representative worship." — H. D. 
 210-214. 
 
 Then may be read the following 
 
 INSTRUCTION. 
 
 The Lord has given to the Church two external 
 representative ordinances, Baptism, and the Holy 
 Supper. These ordinances have spiritual significa- 
 tions ; and in their spiritual sense they involve all we 
 have to do in preparation for heaven. Baptism, or 
 the washing of the body with water, denotes the pu- 
 rification of the mind, and the removal of every thing 
 that is evil and false ; and the Holy Supper denotes 
 
THE HOLY SUITER. 75 
 
 the reception and implantation of what is good and 
 true : thus the two ordinances represent the whole 
 work of regeneration — the whole work by which we 
 come out of a natural state into a spiritual one — the 
 work of rejecting the influence of evil spirits, and 
 yielding to the influence of the Lord and his angels 
 — the work of resisting the love of self and the love 
 of the world, until they are brought into subordination 
 to the love of the Lord and the love of the neighbor, 
 
 It is made our duty to receive Baptism before we 
 receive the Holy Supper, because the spiritual works 
 which are represented by Baptism precede and pre- 
 pare the way for those which are represented by the 
 Holy Supper : for the evils and falsities which come 
 up from beneath are opposite to the goods and truths 
 which come down from above ; so opposite and con- 
 trary, that we cannot be under the influence of both 
 at the same time : consequently we must be success- 
 ively delivered from the former, before we can receive 
 the latter ; and in the degree that we resist and put 
 away what is evil and false, in that degree are we 
 able to receive what is good and true ; or, in other 
 words, in the degree that we perform the spiritual 
 works represented by Baptism, in that degree are we 
 prepared to receive the Holy Supper, and the things 
 represented by it. 
 
 [While we are performing the duties which are re- 
 presented by Baptism; that is, while we are abstaining 
 from those things which are forbidden by the Com- 
 mandments, and are resisting our natural inclinations 
 to do those things, then we think of the Lord, of his 
 government, and his laws, only in natural light; for 
 our evil inclinations prevent spiritual light from com- 
 ing down out of heaven into our minds : consequently, 
 we then think of him as an Almighty Being who acts 
 from such principles as natural men act from, who 
 acts from a love of his own glory and happiness, and 
 who therefore loves and rewards those who love and 
 obey him, and hates and punishes those who hate and 
 disobey him. 
 
 But as we conform to his precepts, our views of him 
 
76 THE HOLY SUPPER. 
 
 change ; the more we conform, the more plainly do 
 we see that it is good for us to conform, and the more 
 happiness do we enjoy while we are conforming; at 
 the same time our desire to do the things which are 
 forbidden is continually diminishing ; our love for 
 ourselves and for the world is by degrees overcome 
 and made subordinate; and as this is done, love to- 
 wards our neighbor is insinuated, which makes us iove 
 the Commandments ; that is, it makes us love to d< 
 what they require, and unwilling to do what they for- 
 bid : and together with love to our neighbors there is 
 insinuated into our minds a spiritual light, by which 
 the Commandments are lifted up and glorified ; their 
 interior spirit and life are gradually unfolded, and we 
 are continually able to see more and more wonderful 
 things in them. 
 
 And as our views of the Divine Laws change, so 
 our views of the Lord himself change : when we find 
 that they are good for us, we begin to think that he 
 gave them for that reason. Thus we are led to re- 
 view all our opinions concerning him. We did sup- 
 pose that in governing us and giving us laws, he acted 
 from a love of governing, and a regard to his own 
 glory; but now we begin to think that he acts from 
 love towards us, that he governs from love, and that 
 he gives laws from love. We also begin to see that 
 he does not love us because we have been loving him, 
 and that he does not do good unto us because we 
 have been doing good unto him ; but that he loves us 
 because he is infinitely good, and that he does good 
 unto us because he loves to do good. We become 
 sensible that while we were buried in sin, while we 
 were opposing and hating him and every thing that 
 is good, he was loving us ; and that from love he took 
 upon himself our nature, and came down to save us ; 
 to deliver us from the evils of our will, and from the 
 falsities of our understandings, and instead of them 
 to fill our minds with wisdom and goodness. For 
 this purpose he purified and glorified the human na- 
 ture which he assumed ; he delivered it from the evil 
 and false propensities which it inherited from its mo« 
 
THE HOLY SUPPER. 77 
 
 ther, and filled it with his own Love and Wisdom. 
 By doing this, he showed us what we have to do, and 
 he gave us power to do it. While he was doing this, 
 he gave us all the knowledge of himself that, we are 
 capable of receiving; and by the manner in which he 
 glorified his Humanity and made it Divine, he showed 
 how we may be regenerated and made spiritual.] 
 
 While we are reading the Scriptures, which give an 
 account of what the Lord did while he dwelt in the 
 world, we see him in two aspects ; we see him as a 
 good Being, and a wise Being ; and we see that all 
 the works and words that proceeded from him, pro- 
 ceeded from his Love and Wisdom united. These 
 two attributes are what are denoted by his flesh and 
 his blood, which he says we must eat and drink that 
 we may have eternal life; and they are also what 
 are denoted by the bread and the wine of the Holy 
 Supper. His flesh and the bread denote his Love or 
 Goodness, and his blood and the wine denote his 
 Wisdom or Truth. As bread and wine are appro- 
 priated to us, and made to enter into the composition 
 of our bodies, by our eating and drinking them; so 
 there is such a thing as spiritual eating and drinking, 
 by means of which the Lord's Goodness and Truth 
 may be received and appropriated by our minds. We 
 spiritually eat, when we meditate upon and love his 
 Goodness, and desire to have such goodness in our 
 own minds ; and we spiritually drink, when we medi- 
 tate upon the instruction which he gave, and when 
 we endeavor to receive it into our minds, so that we 
 may think and act according to it. 
 
 For example, when we consider the feelings which 
 the Lord manifested toward all men, even toward 
 those who hated him, then we can form an idea of 
 his G )odness ; we can form an idea of the nature of 
 his Love. If we take delight in such Love, if we 
 love it, and desire to receive it into our minds so as 
 to act from it, then we eat spiritual food ; we receive 
 that goodness into our minds: while we are loving it, 
 it flows from the Lord into our spirits ; it nourishes 
 them, and gives them eternal life : for to feel such 
 7* 
 
78 THE HOLY SUPPER. 
 
 love, and to act from it, is eternal life ; that is, such 
 life as the angels live. 
 
 So when we listen to him while he is teaching us 
 to love our enemies, and to do good, and lend, hoping 
 for nothing in return, that we may be like our Father 
 who is in heaven, who is kind unto the unthankful 
 and the evil ; if we love this instruction, and desire 
 to receive it into our minds, and to live according to 
 it, then we spiritually drink; we receive spiritual wine 
 into our spirits; and it enters into them and nourishes 
 and strengthens them. Whence it may be seen that 
 by wine is denoted spiritual truth. 
 
 [Now there are various kinds of goodness and truth 
 which the Lord manifested and taught while he dwelt 
 among us performing a work of redemption. All of 
 these are presented to us, that we may receive them 
 into our spirits, and be nourished by them : for he 
 says, "As the living Father hath sent me, and I live 
 by the Father ; so he that eateth me, even he shall 
 live by me." He was, as to his Humanity, continually 
 obtaining knowledge of the goodness and the truth of 
 his internal Divinity : then by loving that goodness 
 and truth, by receiving them into his Humanity, and 
 bringing them into life, his Humanity also was made 
 Divine, and was united with his Essential Divinity. 
 So, if we do that which is denoted by eating him ; 
 that is, if we love, receive, and appropriate the grace 
 and truth which came by him, we shall become like- 
 nesses of him, shall live by him, and shall thus have 
 eternal life. 
 
 But we must not imagine that we fully understand 
 his goodness and truth the first time we think of them, 
 or that we love them enough the first time that we 
 feel any affection for them : for although he has in his 
 mercy brought them down, so that even our senses 
 can perceive them, and so that even the natural man 
 can form an idea of them, yet in themselves they are 
 infinite ; and they will for ever continue to unfold 
 themselves to our view, as our minds unfold them- 
 selves to receive them. When we are beginning to 
 understand and to love them, we are beginning a new 
 
THE HOLY SUPPER. 79 
 
 life ; we are beginning to partake of the food which 
 be has brought down from heaven — the food of which 
 we shall eat for ever, and by means of which we shall 
 live for ever And the reason why this spiritual food 
 will continue to nourish us for ever is, because it is 
 the infinite goodness and wisdom of the Lord himself, 
 which he gives without measure; and because the 
 more we receive of it, and the longer we live upon it, 
 the better shall we understand it, and the more shall 
 we be able to receive of it] 
 
 From the spiritual signification of the Holy Sup- 
 per, we can see what we ought to be doing spiritually, 
 while we are partaking of it naturally ; and that is, 
 while we are eating the bread and drinking the wine, 
 we ought to be meditating upon, and loving, and re 
 ceiving into our minds the Divine Goodness and Wis- 
 dom which are denoted by them. And in order that 
 we may be prepared to do this, two things are neces- 
 sary. In the first place, we must have arrived at 
 adult age : for if we have not, we shall not be free and 
 rational beings; and the works which we do will not 
 be entirely our own, but will in part proceed from those 
 who have control over us. Secondly, we must have 
 been baptized, and must have begun to do the spirit- 
 ual works which are denoted by that ordinance ; that 
 is, we must have begun to abstain from evils as sins, 
 and we must have begun to fight against and to over- 
 come our inclinations to them : for until we have be- 
 gun to do this, we can have no genuine affection for 
 the things which are represented by the bread and 
 wine; and if we have any affection for them, it will 
 be for our own sake, and not for their sake. But when 
 we have overcome the love of any evil, we shall re- 
 ceive from the Lord a love for the opposite good ; and 
 when we have overcome the love of any falsity, we 
 shall receive a love for the opposite truth: thus are 
 we prepared to come to the Holy Supper; thus are 
 we prepared to partake of it internally, as well as ex- 
 ternally — to receive the bread and wine, and at the 
 same time to receive something of the goodness and 
 truth which are represented by them. 
 
80 THE HOLY SUPPER. 
 
 [When the Lord dwelt among us, he turned watei 
 into wine ; and he also did the spiritual work which 
 is denoted by it: that is, he transformed the prohi- 
 bitory commandments into doctrines of love. The 
 commandments in relation to himself, which forbid 
 our having other gods before him, our taking his name 
 in vain, and our violating his holy day, are trans- 
 formed into the doctrine that we should love him 
 with all the heart; and he presented himself to us in 
 such a manner that we could do it. So the con - 
 mandments in relation to our neighbors, which forbid 
 our doing or desiring to do any evil to them, were 
 transformed into the doctrine that we should love 
 them as ourselves. 
 
 But it was at a marriage that he turned the water 
 into wine : so it is at a spiritual marriage that he 
 transforms the commandments into doctrines of love ; 
 it is when he can produce the marriage of goodness 
 and truth in our minds ; when evil loves are overcome 
 in us, and we begin to receive good loves in place of 
 them. With these loves all his commandments can 
 be united in marriage ; and when they are thus united, 
 we obey without any hope of reward : we can do 
 good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; for it is our 
 meat and our drink to do his will.] 
 
 Here one or more of the following passages from the Word may bo read. 
 
 And in this mountain shall Jehovah of hosts make 
 
 unto all people 
 A feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, 
 Of fat things full of marrow, 
 Of wines on the lees well refined. 
 And he will destroy in this mountain 
 The face of the covering cast over all people, 
 And the vail that is spread over all nations. 
 He will swallow up death in victory ; 
 And the Lord Jehovih will wipe away tears from off 
 
 all faces ; 
 And the rebuke of his people shall he take away from 
 
 off all the earth : 
 
THE HOLY SUPPER. 81 
 
 For Jehovah hath spoken it. 
 
 And it shall be said in that day, 
 
 Lo, this is our God ; 
 
 We have waited for him, and he will save U9 
 
 This is Jehovah ; 
 
 We have waited for him, 
 
 We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. 
 
 Is. xxv. 6-9 
 
 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord Jeiio* 
 vih: Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every 
 beast of the field, 
 
 Assemble yourselves, and come; 
 Gather yourselves on every side, 
 To my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, 
 A great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, 
 That ye may eat flesh, and drink blood. 
 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, 
 And drink the blood of the princes of the earth, 
 Of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, 
 All of them fatlings of Bashan. 
 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, 
 And drink blood till ye be drunken, 
 Of my sacrifice which 1 have sacrificed for you. 
 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and 
 
 chariots, 
 With mighty men, and with all men of war, 
 Saith the Lord Jehovih. — Ezek. x*xix. 17 — 20. 
 
 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multi- 
 tude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the 
 voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the 
 Lord God Omnipotent reigneth. Let us be glad 
 and rejoice, and give the glory unto him : for the 
 marriage of the Lamb is come, and his Wife hath 
 made herself ready. And to her was granted that she 
 should be arrayed in fine linen, bright and clean: for 
 the fine linen is the righteousness of the saints. And 
 he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they that are 
 called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. — Rev 
 xix. 6-9. 
 
82 THE HOLY SUPPER. 
 
 And I saw an angel standing in the sun ; and he 
 cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly 
 in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves 
 together unto the supper of the great God ; that ye 
 may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, 
 and the flesh of the mighty, and the flesh of horses, 
 and of them that sit upon them, and the flesh of all, 
 both free and bond, and small and great. — Rev. xix. 
 17, 18. 
 
 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any one 
 hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in unto 
 him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him 
 that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my 
 throne, even as I also overcame, and sat down with 
 my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let 
 him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.— 
 Rev. iii. 20-22. 
 
 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and 
 there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against 
 thee ; leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy 
 way : first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come 
 and offer thy gift.— Mat. v. 23, 24. 
 
 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the 
 passover must be killed. And he sent Peter and John, 
 saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may 
 eat. And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that 
 we prepare ? And he said unto them, Behold, when 
 ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet 
 you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the 
 house where he entereth in. And ye shall say unto 
 the goodman of the house. The Master saith unto thee, 
 Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the 
 passover with my disciples? And he shall show you 
 a large upper room furnished : there make leady. And 
 they went, and found as he had said unto them : and 
 they made ready the passover. — Luke xxii. 7-13. 
 
 Now when the evening was come, he sat down with 
 
THE HOLY SITPER, 83 
 
 the twelve. And as they did eat, he said, Verily I 
 say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. And 
 they were exceedingly sorrowful, and began every one 
 of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? And he an- 
 swered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me 
 in the dish, the same shall betray me. The Son of 
 Man goeth as it is written of him : but wo unto that 
 man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! it had 
 been good for that man if he had not been born. 
 Then Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said, 
 Master, is it I ? He said unto him, Thou hast said. 
 
 And as they were eating, Jesus took the Bread, and 
 blessed, and brake, and gave to the disciples, and said, 
 Take, eat ; this is my Body. And he took the Cup, 
 and gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, Drink ye 
 all of it; for this is my Blood of the New Covenant, 
 which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But 
 I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit 
 of the vine, until that day when 1 drink it new with 
 you in my Father's kingdom. And when they had 
 sung an hymn, they went out into the Mount of 
 Olives.— Mat. xxvi. 20-30. 
 
 Here the Minister, uncovering the Bread, may repeat the following prayer, 
 or the Lord's Prayer, or both, all kneeling. 
 
 O Lord our Redeemer and Savior, thou who art 
 the Bread of life, draw near, and bless us, while we 
 engage in this holiest act of worship. We confess 
 before thee, O Lord, that of ourselves we are only 
 evil, and all unworthy of thy great goodness, and of 
 the manifold blessings we daily receive at thy hands. 
 Yet, trusting in thy Divine mercy, and encouraged by 
 thy gracious invitations, we come, with humble and 
 penitent hearts, to present ourselves before thee, and, 
 in the way of thine appointment, seek conjunction 
 with thee. Prepare our hearts and minds, we entreat 
 thee, for such heavenly communion. May every evil 
 affection and false suggestion be removed, and may 
 love to thee and charity towards our neighbor be im- 
 planted in their stead; so that while our bodies are 
 
84 THE HOLY SUPPER. 
 
 nourished by the bread and wine, our souls may be 
 strengthened and refreshed by angels' food — by love 
 to thee and to one another. And may we thus realize 
 that in thy Holy Supper thou art present with all the 
 benefits of thy redemption. May it be a signing, seal- 
 ing, and testifying that we are thy children, opening 
 to us the mansions of heaven, and conjoining us more 
 closely with thee for evermore. Amen. 
 
 Our Father, who art in the heavens; Hallowed be 
 thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, 
 as in heaven, so also upon the earth. Give us this 
 day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as 
 we also forgive our debtors. And lead us not into 
 temptation; but deliver us from evil. For thine is 
 the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. 
 Amen. 
 
 Then shall the Minister repeat one of the following passages. 
 
 Jesus took the Bread, and blessed, and brake, and 
 gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat ; this is my 
 Body. — Mat. xxvi. 26. 
 
 Jesus took Bread, and blessed, and brake, and gave 
 to them, and said, Take, eat; this is my Body. — 
 Mark xiv. 22. 
 
 And he took Bread, and gave thanks, and brake, 
 and gave unto them, saying, This is my Body which 
 is given for you : this do in remembrance of me. — 
 Luke xxii. 19. 
 
 Here shall he break and distribute the Bread. 
 Then shall he take the Cup, and repeat one of the following passages. 
 
 And he took the Cap, and gave thanks, and gave 
 to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; for this is my 
 Blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for many 
 for the remission of sins. — Mat. xxvi. 27, 28. 
 
THE HOLY SUPPER 85 
 
 And he took the Cup, and when he had given thanks, 
 he gave to them : and they all drank of it, And he 
 said unto them, This is my Blood of the New Cove* 
 nant, which is shed for many. — Mark xiv. 23, 24. 
 
 Likewise also the Cup after supper, saying, This 
 cup is the New Covenant in my Blood, which is shed 
 for you. — Luke xxii. 20. 
 
 Then shall he present the Wine to the communicants. 
 
 When all have partaken, one or more of the following passages may be 
 
 read. 
 
 If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I 
 will pray the Father, and he shall give you another 
 Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever: the 
 Spirit of truth ; whom the world cannot receive, be- 
 cause it seeth him not, neither knoweth him : but ye 
 know him ; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in 
 you. I will not leave you comfortless : I will come to 
 you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no 
 more ; but ye see me : because I live, ye shall live 
 also. At that day ye shall know that I am in my 
 Father, and ye in me, and I in you. He that hath 
 my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that 
 loveth me : and he that loveth me, shall be loved of 
 my Father; and 1 will love him, and will manifest 
 myself to him. 
 
 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it 
 that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto 
 the world? 
 
 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love 
 me, he will keep my words : and my Father will 
 love him; and we will come unto him, and make our 
 abode with him. He that loveth me not, keepeth not 
 my sayings : and the word which ye hear is not mine, 
 but the Father's who sent me. These things have 
 I spoken unto you, being present with you. But the 
 Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will 
 8 
 
86 THE HOLY SUPPER. 
 
 send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and 
 bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever 1 
 have said unto you. — John xiv. 15-26. 
 
 Peace I leave with you ; my peace I give unto you : 
 not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not 
 your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye 
 have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come 
 unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because 
 I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is 
 greater than I. And now I have told you before it 
 come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might 
 believe. Hereafter I will not talk much with you : 
 for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing 
 in me. But that the world may know that I love the 
 Father: and as the Father gave me commandment, 
 even so I do. Arise, let us go hence. — John xiv. 
 27-31. 
 
 This is my commandment, That ye love one ano- 
 ther, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no one 
 than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. 
 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command 
 you. Henceforth I call you not servants ; for the ser- 
 vant knoweth not what his lord doeth : but I have 
 called you friends; for all things that I have heard of 
 my Father, I have made known unto you. Ye have 
 not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained 
 you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that 
 your fruit should remain ; that whatsoever ye shall 
 ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 
 These things I command you, that ye love one ano- 
 ther.— John xv. 12-17. 
 
 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to 
 heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify 
 thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee : as thou 
 hast given him power over all flesh, that he should 
 give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 
 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the 
 only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast 
 
THE HOLY SUPPER. 87 
 
 sent. I have glorified thee on the earth : I have 
 finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And 
 now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self, 
 with the glory which I had with thee before the world 
 was. 
 
 I have manifested thy name unto the men whom 
 thou gavest me out of the world : thine they were, and 
 thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. 
 Now they have known that all things whatsoever 
 thou hast given me are of thee : for I have given unto 
 them the words which thou gavest me; and they have 
 received them, and have known surely that I came 
 out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst 
 send me. I pray for them : I pray not for the world, 
 but for them whom thou hast given me ; for they are 
 thine. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; 
 and I am glorified in them. And now I am no more 
 in the world ; but these are in the world, and I come 
 to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name 
 those whom thou hast given me, that they may be 
 one, as we are. While I was with them in the world, 
 I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me 
 I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of 
 perdition ; that the scripture might be fulfilled. And 
 now come I to thee : and these things I speak in the 
 world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in them- 
 selves. 
 
 I have given them thy word ; and the world hath 
 hated them, because they are not of the world, even 
 as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou 
 shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou 
 shouldst keep them from the evil. They are not of 
 the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify 
 them through thy truth : thy word is truth. As thou 
 hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent 
 them into the world : and for their sakes I sanctify 
 myself, that they also might be sanctified through the 
 truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them 
 also who shall believe on me through their word : that 
 they all may be one ; as thou, Father, art in me, and 
 1 in thee, that they also may be one in us : that the 
 
88 THE HOLY SUPPER. 
 
 world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the 
 glory which thou gavest me I have given them ; that 
 they may be one, even as we are one : I in them, and 
 thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one ; 
 and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, 
 and hast loved them as thou hast loved me. 
 
 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast 
 given me, be with me where I am; that they may 
 behold my glory, which thou hast given me : for thou 
 lovedst me before the foundation of the world. O 
 righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: 
 but I have known thee, and these have known that 
 thou hast sent me. And I have declared unto them 
 thy name, and will declare it; that the love where- 
 with thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in 
 them. — John xvii. 
 
 Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, 
 lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, 
 Yea, Lord ; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith 
 unto him, Feed my lambs. He saith to him again the 
 second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me ? 
 He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I 
 love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He 
 saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, 
 lovest thou me ? Peter was grieved because he said 
 unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? and he said 
 unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou know- 
 est that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my 
 sheep. — John xxi. 15 - 17. 
 
 Then a Selection, Anthem, or Hymn may be sung. 
 
 BENEDICTION. 
 
 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you 
 all. Amen. 
 
MARRIAGE. 
 
 The persons about to be married having presented themselves before the 
 Minister, the Bride standing on the right hand of the Bridegroom, the 
 following instruction may be given 
 
 We are now assembled in the presence of our Hea- 
 venly Father, to witness and confirm the marriage 
 of A B and C D : Let us therefore hear the declara- 
 tions of the Divine Word concerning the institution 
 of Marriage. 
 
 And Jehovah God said, It is not good that the 
 man should be alone ; I will make him a help meet 
 for him And Jehovah God brought the wo- 
 man unto the man. And the man said, This is now 
 bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. Therefore 
 shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall 
 cleave unto his wife : and they shall be one flesh. — 
 Gen. ii. 18, 22-24. 
 
 Jesus said, He who made them at the beginning, 
 made them male and female ; and &aid, For this cause 
 shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave 
 to his wife : and they twain shall be one flesh. Where- 
 fore they are no more twain, but one flesh, What 
 therefore God hath joined together, let not man put 
 asunder. — Mat. xix. 4-6 
 
 The Heavenly Doctrines of the New Jerusalem 
 teach us that marriage is the union of one man and 
 one woman in the bonds of genuine conjugial love. 
 Love truly conjugial descends from heaven ; and in 
 its origin it is the union of the Divine Love and the 
 Divine Wisdom, the Divine Goodness and the Divine 
 Truth, ita the Lord. Hence the union of goodness 
 and truth in heaven is from the Lord ; and this union 
 8* 
 
90 MARRIAGE. 
 
 is the essence of the heavenly marriage, and the source 
 of conjugial love on earth. In the Divine Word, the 
 Lord is called the Bridegroom and Husband; and 
 the Church, the Bride and Wife : and heaven itself is 
 compared to a Marriage. 
 
 W T hen a pair is united in love truly conjugial, each 
 one loves the interior affections and thoughts, as well 
 as the outward form and conduct, of the other. Thus 
 each one loves to think, to will, and to act as the 
 other does ; and in this manner to be united to the 
 other, and to become as one man ; according to the 
 Lord's words, " They twain shall be one flesh." 
 
 Whatever is performed under the influence of con- 
 jugial love, is done from a principle of freedom on 
 both sides; for each party is in the enjoyment of 
 freedom, when each one loves what the other thinks, 
 and what the other wills. But the desire of exercis- 
 ing dominion in marriage destroys genuine love, and 
 takes away its freedom, and also its delight. 
 
 Marriage is a holy state; and to enjoy its blessed- 
 ness, we must be delivered from the love of self, and 
 become principled in supreme love to the Lord, and 
 in mutual love to each other. For, when the husband 
 and the wife are engrossed in the love of self, they 
 become disjoined and separated, first in their interior 
 affections and thoughts, and then in their outward 
 transactions. But when they are principled in love 
 to the Lord and to one another, they become more 
 and more conjoined and united, first in their affections 
 and thoughts, and then in the ultimate conduct of 
 life. 
 
 In the primeval ages, conjugial love prevailed, and 
 its nature was well known ; but as man declined into 
 evil, the knowledge of it became obscured : and as its 
 state in man always runs parallel with the state of 
 the church in him, genuine conjugial love, in these 
 latter ages, has become almost a stranger on the earth. 
 But we are assured that in the New Jerusalem it will 
 be restored, and will be among the chief of the bless- 
 ings made accessible to those who worship the Lord 
 Jesus Christ alone, and keep his commandments. 
 
MARRIAGE. 91 
 
 THE LORD'S PRAYER. 
 
 By the Minister alone. 
 
 Our Father, who art in the heavens ; Hallowed be 
 thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, 
 as in heaven, so also upon the earth. Give us this 
 day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we 
 also forgive our debtors. And lead us not into tempt- 
 ation ; but deliver us from evil. For thine is the 
 kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. 
 Amen. 
 
 The parties standing, the Minister shall say, A B 
 and C D : The bonds of marriage are holy and invio- 
 lable in the sight of heaven ; and you have come be- 
 fore the Lord to enter into the conjugial covenant. 
 Let me therefore ask : Do you, trusting in the Lord, 
 propose to enter into this covenant from a sincere de- 
 sire of promoting the welfare of each other, for time 
 and for eternity ? 
 
 Each will answer : — I do. 
 
 To the Man. 
 
 Min. A B : Do you desire to have this woman 
 for your wife ? 
 Answer : — I do. 
 
 To the Woman. 
 
 Min. C D : Are you willing to have this man for 
 ^our husband ? 
 Answer : — I am. 
 
 To both. 
 
 Min. Do you promise before the Lord, to live to- 
 gether in love ; to be faithful to each other through 
 life ; and to perform your respective duties, in the 
 holy state into which you are about to enter, accord- 
 ing to the divine laws of the marriage covenant ? 
 
 Answer by each : — I do. 
 
92 MAERIAGE. 
 
 When no ring is used, the words, " In giving this ring," and ' In taking 
 this ring," are to be omitted; and the hands are to be joined. 
 
 To the Man. 
 
 Min. In giving this ring, do you, in the name of 
 the Lord, espouse this woman as your wife ? 
 Answer : — I do. 
 
 To the Woman. 
 
 Min. In taking this ring, do you, in the name of 
 the Lord, receive this man as your husband ? 
 Answer : — I do. 
 
 When a ring is used, the hands are to be joined here ; and the Minister shall 
 proceed to say : 
 
 Min. Ye are now Husband and "Wife. Ye are 
 no more twain, but one flesh. " What, therefore, 
 God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." 
 
 Then the following prayer may be used by the Minister, all kneeling. 
 
 O Lord our Redeemer and Savior, in thee the Di- 
 vine Love and the Divine Wisdom are joined in One. 
 Thou art the fountain of life, and the source of con- 
 jugial love in Heaven and in the Church. Thou art 
 the Creator of human pairs, its recipients on earth 
 Crown, we beseech thee, with thy blessing, thy servant 
 and handmaid now joined together in the marriage 
 covenant. Unite their hearts in supreme love to 
 thee, and in mutual love to each other. Open their 
 eyes upon the relations and duties of the conjugial 
 state : sustain them in the trials of life : diminish their 
 sorrows : increase their joys: and confirm them more 
 and more in every good word and work. Inspire 
 them with true conjugial love : give them one heart, 
 one mind, and one way: lead them in the paths of 
 righteousness and peace : and when they have finished 
 their course on earth, receive them into the celestial 
 marriage — a life of eternal usefulness and happiness 
 in heaven : Amen. 
 
MARRIAGE. 93 
 
 The parties still kneeling, the Minister shall rise, and laying his hands, one 
 upon the head of each, shall pronounce one of the following Blessings. 
 
 Jehovah bless you, and keep you : Jehovah make 
 his face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you : 
 Jehovah lift up his countenance upon you, and give 
 you peace. 
 
 The blessing of Jehovah be upon you : We bles8 
 you in the name of Jehovah. 
 
 May the blessing of the Lord Jesus Christ rest 
 upon you : May His peace descend upon you : May 
 trie influence of His Holy Spirit draw you nearer and 
 nearer towards Himself, and into more and more union 
 of spirit with each other; thus rendering your union 
 happy here, and by means of it preparing you to live 
 hereafter in his more immediate presence in blessed- 
 ness for ever. 
 
 An Anthem, Selection, or Hymn may then he sung. 
 
 BENEDICTION. 
 
 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you 
 all : Amen. 
 
FUNERAL SERVICE FOR ADULTS. 
 
 The service may be commenced by reading one or more of the following 
 passages. 
 
 What man liveth, and shall not se« death? Shall 
 he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? — Ps. 
 lxxxix. 48. 
 
 I will ransom them from the hand of the grave : I 
 will redeem them from death. O death, I will be thy 
 plagues: O grave, I will be thy destruction. — Hos. 
 xiii. 14. 
 
 O Jehovah, make me to know mine end, 
 And the measure of my days, what it is ; 
 That I may know how frail I am. 
 Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth ; 
 And mine age is as nothing before thee: 
 Verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. 
 
 Ps. xxxix. 4, 5. 
 
 Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, 
 And give ear unto my cry : 
 Hold not thy peace at my tears : 
 For I am a stranger with thee , 
 A sojourner, as all my fathers were. 
 O spare me, that I may recover strength, 
 Before I go hence, and be no more. — Ps. xxxix. 12, 13. 
 
 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place, 
 In generation and generation. 
 Before the mountains were brought forth, 
 
FUNERAL SERVICE FOR ADULTS. 95 
 
 Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, 
 
 Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. 
 
 Thou turnest man to destruction ; 
 
 And sayest, Return, ye children of men. 
 
 For a thousand years in thy sight 
 
 Are as yesterday when it is past, 
 
 And as a watch in the night. 
 
 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; 
 
 They are as a sleep: 
 
 In the morning they are like grass which groweth up. 
 
 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; 
 
 In the evening it is cut down, and withereth. . . . 
 
 The days of our years are threescore years and ten ; 
 
 And if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, 
 
 Yet is their strength labor and sorrow : 
 
 For it is soon cut off, and we fly away. . . . 
 
 So teach us to number our days, 
 
 That we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. 
 
 Ps. xc. 1-6; 10,12. 
 
 Like as a father pitieth his children, 
 
 So Jehovah pitieth them that fear him. 
 
 For he knoweth our frame ; 
 
 He remembereth that we are dust. 
 
 As for man, his days are as grass: 
 
 As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. 
 
 For the wind passeth over it, and it is not ; 
 
 And the place thereof shall know it no more. 
 
 But the mercy of Jehovah is from everlasting to ever- 
 lasting upon them that fear him, 
 
 And his righteousness unto children's children ; 
 
 To such as keep his covenant, 
 
 And to those that remember his commandments to do 
 them.— -Ps. ciii. 13-18. 
 
 Wilt thou show wonders to the dead ? 
 Shall the dead arise and praise thee? 
 
 Ps. lxxxviii. 10 
 
 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed 
 at the bush, when he called the Lord the God of 
 
96 FUNERAL SERVICE FOR ADULTS. 
 
 Abraham, and the (Jon of Isaac, and the God of 
 Jacob. For he is not a God of the dead, but of the 
 living: for to him all are living. — Luke xx. 37, 38. 
 
 Why seek ye the living among the dead? He ia 
 not here, but is risen. — Luke xxiv. 5, 6. 
 
 Jesus said, I am the Resurrection, and the Life. 
 He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet 
 shall he live : and whosoever liveth and believeth in 
 me, shall never die. — John xi. 25, 26. 
 
 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto 
 ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to 
 meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, 
 and five were foolish. They that were foolish took 
 their lamps, and took no oil with them : but the wise 
 took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the 
 bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And 
 at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bride- 
 groom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all 
 those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And 
 the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil ; 
 for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, 
 saying, Not so ; lest there be not enough for us and 
 you : but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for 
 yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bride- 
 groom came ; and they that were ready went in with 
 him to the marriage: and the door was shut. After- 
 ward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, 
 open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say 
 unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye 
 know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son 
 of Man cometh. — Mat. xxv. 1-13. 
 
 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not 
 when the time is. For the Son of Man is as a man 
 taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave 
 authority to his servants, and to every one his work, 
 and commanded the porter to watch. Watch ye 
 
FUNERAL SERVICE FOR ADULTS. 97 
 
 therefore; for ye know not when the master of the 
 house cometh, at evening, or at midnight, or at the 
 cock-crowing, or in the morning: lest coming sud- 
 denly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto 
 you I say unto all, Watch. — Mark xiii. 33 - 37. 
 
 And I say unto you, my friends, Be not afraid of 
 them that kill the body, and after that have no more 
 that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye 
 shall fear : Fear him who after he hath killed hath 
 power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, fear him. 
 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings ? and not 
 one of them is forgotten before God. But even the 
 very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not 
 therefore : ye are of more value than many sparrows. 
 — Luke xii. 4-7. 
 
 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, 
 where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves 
 break through and steal ; but lay up for yourselves 
 treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth 
 corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor 
 steal : for where your treasure is, there will your heart 
 be also.— -Mat. vi. 19-21. 
 
 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall 
 drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For all these 
 things do the nations of the world seek after: and 
 your Father knoweth that ye have need of these 
 things. But rather seek ye the kingdom of God ; and 
 all these things shall be added unto you. Fear not, 
 little flock ; for it is your Father's good pleasure to 
 give you the kingdom. Sell what ye have, and give 
 alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a 
 treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief 
 approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. For where 
 your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 
 
 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights 
 burning; and ye yourselves like unto men that wait 
 for their lord, when he will return from the wedding 
 that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open

 unto him immediately. Blessed are those servants, 
 whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: 
 verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and 
 make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth 
 and serve them. And if he shall come in the second 
 watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, 
 blessed are those servants. And this know, that if the 
 master of the house had known what hour the thief 
 would come, he would have watched, and not have 
 suffered his house to be broken through. Be ye there- 
 fore ready also : for the Son of Man cometh at an 
 hour when ye think not. — Luke xii. 29-40. 
 
 Let not your heart be troubled : ye believe in God, 
 believe also in me. In my Father's house are many 
 mansions ; if not, I would have told you : I go to 
 prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a 
 place for you, I will come again, and receive you 
 unto myself; that where I am, ye may be also. — 
 John xiv. 1-3. 
 
 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, 
 Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from 
 henceforth. Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest 
 from their labors ; and their works do follow with 
 them. — Rev. xiv. 13. 
 
 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still : and he 
 that is filthy, let him be filthy still : and he that is 
 righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is 
 holy, let him be holy still. Behold, I come quickly ; 
 and my reward is with me, to give every one ac- 
 cording as his work shall be. I am the Alpha and 
 the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First 
 and the Last. Blessed are they that do his com- 
 mandments ; that they may have right to the tree of 
 life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 
 — Rev. xxii. 11-14. 
 
 Then a Selection or Hymn may be sung, if convenient. 
 
FUNERAL SERVICE FOR ADULTS. \)\) 
 
 Such parts of the following Instruction may then be read as the person 
 officiating thinks proper. 
 
 He who seeth our substance yet being imperfect, 
 and in whose book all our days are written — He who 
 seeth the end from the beginning, who knoweth what 
 is in man, by whom the very hairs of our heads are 
 all numbered, and before whom stand always present 
 and together in their order the most minute things of 
 our life from the commencement of our existence to 
 eternity — He who is Love itself, and who hath all-, 
 power in heaven and in earth, has permitted the re- 
 moval of our friend and brother from this world of 
 nature to the world of spirits. By His permission, lie 
 has changed his state of existence; he has thrown off 
 his material covering adapted to the duties and the 
 uses of this material world, and which is therefore now 
 no longer needed, and is rising in his spiritual body, 
 which is adapted to the duties and the uses of the 
 spiritual world. " The dust returns to the earth as it 
 was, and the spirit is returning to God who gave it." 
 
 Of this great change, all that is visible to our eyes, 
 or perceivable by any of our organs of sense, is the 
 work of destruction and of death. Being themselves 
 formed from the substance^ of this world, these organs 
 can perceive only the substances of this world. They 
 can perceive therefore only the body which has been 
 left. And in looking upon this body, we behold the 
 eyes closed and lifeless. The tongue is silent ; and 
 the whole form is motionless and cold. We therefore 
 call this change death ; and that part of our minds 
 which is in immediate connection with these senses, 
 dwells only upon the picture of what is material in it. 
 Thus our merely natural affections feel an aching 
 void ; and our natural thoughts are filled with the 
 idea of a total separation from the object of our 
 affection, and dwell upon the acts and sufferings of 
 the body put off — upon what it once was, and what 
 it now is

 visible is the work of creation and of life. For they

 human being awakening into life. They are witness* 
 ing a resurrection ; they are greeting a new coinpa- 
 nion, and welcoming a spirit newly born into their 
 world. And all that in us which is in common with 
 the angels, and makes one with their state — all those 
 affections which have the Lord and His kingdom for 
 their objects, and all those thoughts which delight to 
 soar into eternity and to behold the things of eterna' 
 life — all that affection for him that has left us, which 
 regards chiefly his spiritual welfare instead of our own 
 gratification, and thus makes one with his state — 
 all that in us which " seeks first the kingdom of God 
 and his righteousness " — all this looks upon the event 
 as angels do ; for it sees it from the same point of 
 position with them, viewing it from the other side of 
 the grave. All spiritual affection sees with the eye 
 of faith. It loves to dwell upon the freed spirit, re- 
 joices in its welfare, and delights to accompany it in 
 its resurrection to the mansions of eternal life. 
 
 And in order that these spiritual realities may pre- 
 vail over the natural appearances with men, and that 
 spiritual affections may rule within their natural af- 
 fections and make them to be living, the Lord Him- 
 self teaches distinctly in His Word, that the dead are 
 raised — that the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, 
 and the God of Jacob, is not the God of the dead, 
 but of the living — that He is not the God of shape- 
 less phantoms, but of human beings. He rose Him- 
 self also from the sepulchre on the third day, and as- 
 cended into heaven ; thus actually exhibiting what 
 we call death as it really is in itself, as it was with 
 Him, and hence as it is with all those who live from 
 Him according to his commandments, a resurrection 
 into a higher and more interior state of existence. He 
 also reveals in His Word, that man's permanent state 
 of existence is not in this world, and that it is of di- 
 vine order that all should pass from their preparatory 
 state here to their home in the spiritual world. For 
 He says therein in relation to Himself, " The hour is 
 come that the Son of Man should be glorified. Ve- 
 rily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat

 fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone : but if 
 it die, it bringeth forth much fruit:" [thus teaching 
 that in all spiritual and natural growth, it is necessary 
 for that which is external or lower to be put off, in 
 order that what is internal or higher may come forth 
 and flourish. And from this we may learn in relation 
 to ourselves, that what is external with us is given 
 for the sake of what is internal ; that what is worldly 
 and temporal is given for the sake of what is spiritual 
 and eternal; and that when the former has performed 
 its use towards the formation and development of 
 the latter, it must pass away, that what is living may 
 come forth from within, and may grow and act in 
 freedom. Our material bodies are given to envelop 
 and protect the soul or spirit within, during its form- 
 ation and growth, during the period of its preparation 
 for living separate and of itself to eternity. Natural 
 life envelops and protects spiritual life while it is yet 
 in its germ. Natural affections surround and protect 
 spiritual affections while they are yet in embryo, and 
 give them support and nourishment during their effort 
 to be born and to come forth into independent exist- 
 ence; as the seed covers and protects the germ, and 
 gives it support and nourishment during the period 
 of its first starting and rising above the ground into 
 the light of day. But when this use. is performed, it 
 is of divine order that natural life, the life in this 
 world, should cease to be man's actual life; that is, 
 should as it were come to its end ; as the external of 
 the seed is cast off after the germ has come forth. 
 Indeed, all progress to eternity, even the perpetual 
 advancement of angels, consists in laying aside the 
 lower and more external things of their life, as higher 
 or more internal things are received, and by their 
 means have become formed within them. The things 
 which are of self, which partake of their own proper 
 life, are for ever passing away, as things from the 
 Lord are for ever being received and coming to matu- 
 rity in them. For men were created to be images and 
 likenesses of Him who is a Spirit, to enjoy the in- 
 terior blessedness of spiritual existence in the light of 
 9* 
 
102 FUNERAL SERVICE FOR ADULTS. 
 
 His countenance, to breathe the purer and living at« 
 mosphere of heaven, to rejoice in the light of interior 
 wisdom, and be blessed with the life of heavenly 
 love. They were created to live with life unchanged 
 and unperverted from the Fountain of life — with life 
 which is truly such, and therefore never-ending — 
 with life which finds its constant delight in acts of 
 more elevated and interior and extensive usefulness. 
 They were created to be ministers of Him who made 
 them, doing the pleasure of Him who is always doing 
 mercy. They were not created for this world, but 
 this world for them ; as it is written in John, " They 
 are not of the world, even as I am not of the world." 
 And they begin their existence here, and remain here 
 for a brief period, merely that they may be prepared 
 for their eternal home — that the lower or more exter- 
 nal principles of their minds may be drawn into exer- 
 cise by the things of the world, may become formed 
 and developed by worldly uses, by doing the Lord's 
 will on earth, and thus be prepared as foundations on 
 which the higher and more internal principles, which 
 are to come into use and exercise hereafter, may 
 stand firmly fixed, and thus that their life here may 
 become a suitable basis on which their higher and 
 eternal life hereafter may for ever securely rest. This 
 is the divine purpose with regard to men ; this is the 
 order of the Divine Providence of the Lord, the order 
 of His infinite wisdom and of His infinitely pure and 
 ardent love in relation to them. Even with respect to 
 those who choose while here to live contrary to the di- 
 vine purpose, to do their own wills, and to live accord- 
 ing to their own natural inclinations, and thus prepare 
 for themselves the foundations of an unhappy and 
 more interiorly evil life hereafter for ever, even wilh 
 regard to these, it is still better for them and for all 
 that they should live among their like, and come more 
 fully and freely into the kind of life which they have 
 chosen. There is in the hearts of all men, both good 
 and evil, a deep and secret yearning for more freedom 
 and fulness of the kind of life which they have choser 
 to be their life — for a more full and free exercise of 
 
FUNERAL SERVICE FOR ADULTS. 103 
 
 that kind of delight which they have chosen to be 
 their delight. But with regard to those, who, by de- 
 nying themselves, by ceasing to do their own wills, 
 and compelling themselves to do the Lord's will, and 
 to act while here according to His precepts, it must 
 surely be, that they can be unspeakably more blessed 
 by coming into the more immediate presence and 
 perception of Him whom they have chosen to be their 
 God, and whom they in reality and above all else 
 love ; it must surely be, that they can more fully and 
 truly live by drawing more near to Him who, they 
 know and feel, is Life itself. Indeed the great object 
 of the Divine Love, which is a heaven of human be- 
 ings whom He can fill with blessedness to eternity, 
 cannot be accomplished unless they are removed 
 hence to fill their appointed place in heaven — to oc- 
 cupy their permanent and provided mansion in the 
 Father's house. It is thus the divine order with all i. 
 men, that they should leave this world — that their 
 connection with that body which is of the substance 
 of this world, and which is of no other use than to 
 enable them to act in this world, should be severed — 
 that their spirits should break forth from their material 
 covering in order to come into a more elevated or 
 more interior state of existence, as the germ breaks 
 forth in the planted seed and casts off its outward 
 covering, before it can rise above the ground, and 
 grow up towards heaven in the light of day.] 
 
 But notwithstanding it is thus revealed in the Word 
 that this is the divine order in relation to all men, 
 notwithstanding the Gospel makes known a resur- 
 rection and a life beyond the grave, a divinely ap- 
 pointed and permanent home, yet such is the state of 
 men, and such the power with them of sensual ap- 
 pearances, that the life in the spiritual world seems 
 phantomlike and unreal. In order, therefore, that 
 men may be raised above these appearances to the 
 senses, and may come to realize and be interested in 
 their spiritual, their real, and eternal state of existence, 
 the Lord in His mercy has in these latter days caused 
 His Word to be opened, and the seven sells of Hia 
 
104 FUNERAL SERVICE FOR ADULTS. 
 
 "Book to be loosed. He has caused the interior things 
 of it to be revealed, whereby spiritual realities are 
 made manifest. He has caused light to break forth 
 from within, its interior light to shine forth, in which 
 light alone the interior things of His creation can be 
 seen and understood ; and thus the spiritual world, 
 which is an interior world, and therefore the real and 
 eternal world, is brought forth to view. The doctrine 
 of the resurrection, which in its general is contained 
 in the letter of the Word, is now unfolded as to the 
 particulars contained within it. It is now made pos- 
 sible for us with the eyes of our understandings to 
 view death as angels do, who see it from the other 
 side of the grave ; that while we are viewing with 
 our natural eyes that side of this event which is turned 
 towards the earth, unilluminated, cold, and dark, we 
 may with the eyes of our spirits also behold that side 
 which is turned towards the Sun of heaven, warmed 
 by the love or mercy and brightened with the wisdom 
 of his rays. 
 
 From the revelations now made, we learn, that as 
 soon as the life has departed from the inmost fibres, 
 and the spirit has become entirely separated from its 
 most intricate connections with the body, which 
 generally takes place on the third day after the heart 
 has ceased to beat, the spirit rises free in the world of 
 spirits. This resurrection is effected by the Lord 
 through the ministry of angels, who in a manner 
 most wonderful, with love ineffable and gentleness 
 indescribable, disengage every part and portion of the 
 spirit, not only from all its connections with the more 
 external parts of the body, but also from its most se. 
 cret and delicate intertwinings with the inmost fibrils 
 of it. For the angels are recipients and thus commu- 
 nicators of the divine love and mercy, which with its 
 living and powerful attraction draws forth every thing 
 living about the man, so that nothing vital can re- 
 main behind. And when he is raised up fully, and 
 into the freedom of life in that world, his attending 
 angels do not leave him — do not separate themselves 
 from him and go away ; for angels love every one, and 
 
FUNERAL SERVICE FOR ADULTS. 10t> 
 
 desire nothing more than to do him service, to instruct, 
 and convey him to heaven. But the man himself 
 whose state as to goodness of life is not such, or is 
 not as yet such, as to enjoy a long continuance in 
 association with those who are in states so elevated, 
 dissociates himself from them. At first, then, after 
 leaving his attending angels, he comes into the soci- 
 ety of good spirits ; and if he chooses not to remain 
 with these, then into society with those whose state 
 is less elevated, until he finds associates so far re- 
 sembling himself, that he can have delight and receive 
 advantage from continuing with them during this his 
 first state in the spiritual world Thus he rises a man 
 as before, and is seen by the inhabitants of that world, 
 and they are seen by him, in human form, as the in- 
 habitants of this world are seen by each other. He 
 rises indeed with a spiritual body, a body formed not 
 of material but spiritual substances, a body therefore 
 invisible to our material eyes, but yet seen and known 
 by spirits in all respects as fully as men in this world 
 are seen and known by men. The spirit thus raised 
 enters that world with the same prevailing character, 
 with affections and thoughts essentially the same with 
 those which marked him while here, and consequently 
 he is as properly an object of our interest and affec- 
 tion as he was while here. Indeed he comes actually 
 into company, into manifest association, with those 
 spirits who were secretly in connection with him while 
 he was in this world, and through whom he received 
 those affections and thoughts which made him while 
 here to be what he was. He thus comes at first 
 among those who are of the same character with 
 himself, who love what he loves, and think as he 
 thinks ; and, therefore, among those who seem, and 
 indeed are, entirely familiar to him, and with whom 
 he feels at home. 
 
 But as he is now in a spiritual world, a more living 
 world, his mind becomes more and more developed. 
 He comes more and more into his real character. 
 The things within, in the secret recesses of the heart, 
 begin to come forth. All the more external things of 
 
106 FUNERAL SERVICE FOR ADULTS. 
 
 the spirit which are inconsistent with these are put 
 away. The whole man comes into a state of con- 
 sistency with himself. What in this world was se- 
 cret, there at length comes to light ; what was hid- 
 den in the heart is there known and comes abroad : 
 the secret ends and purposes become there open and 
 manifest ones; the inmost desires show themselves 
 in speech and act, and the great objects of the love 
 are openly sought by all the powers and faculties of 
 the man. If it was the sincere desire and purpose of 
 his heart, if it was his end, while here, to do the 
 Lord's will and to be prepared for His kingdom in 
 the heavens, all more external or inferior desires which 
 thwarted his great or inward purpose, and obstructed 
 his path to heaven in which he was endeavoring to 
 walk — all views of things which here appeared to 
 him to be true, but yet were false and opposed to 
 heaven, are there seen to be what they are, and are 
 cheerfully renounced; and thus the angel-man within 
 comes forth and breathes and acts in freedom, and 
 makes him an angel-man without, fitted for the bless- 
 edness of eternal consociation with angels of a similar 
 character in heaven. But if his great end and hidden 
 ruling purpose while here was only the good of him- 
 self, and of those whom he regarded as parts of him- 
 self, if his heart sought first the things which belong 
 to this world, then this inward character and ruling 
 love comes forth there, and all appearances of good- 
 ness and of truth, all his more external affections 
 which here may have seemed so kind and so good, all 
 his thoughts and conversation which here may have 
 seemed so brilliant and so true, are there renounced 
 as mere obstructions in his path : the evil spirit within 
 shows himself to be an evil spirit without ; and he 
 becomes fitted for eternal association with those who 
 are like himself, with them to enter into their appro- 
 priate abodes in hell. 
 
 To him, therefore, who views this event in this spi- 
 ritual light which shines forth from the Word now 
 opened by the Lord, it cannot but be seen either as 
 the work or the permission of the Divine Mercy. For 
 
FUNERAL SERVICE FOR ADULTS. 107 
 
 this light is the light of the Divine Love or Mercy ; 
 and it cannot but reveal and make manifest the 
 mercy which always secretly rules in every event. 
 Hence, at the departure of those who have loved the 
 Lord and His Word, and have sought first while in 
 this world the kingdom of God and His righteous- 
 ness, the spiritual man rejoices; because they are 
 about to enter upon a higher and purer, a more 
 blessed and happy state of life ; because they can 
 render to those who remain here more efficient, more 
 constant, and far more important service — a service 
 which has heaven for its object, eternity for its end ; 
 and because the whole heaven, the whole kingdom of 
 the Lord, becomes more perfect at the reception of 
 every new inhabitant. And at the departure of the 
 evil he cannot lastingly mourn ; for he knows that 
 they have been removed at the moment most favor- 
 able to their eternal condition, at the lightest possible 
 degree of the life which they had chosen, at the earli- 
 est point therein at which they could be made willing 
 to stop, before they had laid the foundations of a 
 deeper state of condemnation. It is only as our af- 
 fections and thoughts rest upon earth, that clouds and 
 darkness surround this event of the Divine Provi- 
 dence, and we are enveloped with the gloom of fune- 
 real sadness : but as our interests rise towards heavenly 
 things, mourning vanishes ; as we ascend above the 
 clouds, there is nothing to obstruct the pure sunshine 
 of heaven. 
 
 But all that proceeds from the Lord, all his opera- 
 tions, and all his permissions, are infinite and eternal, 
 and hence universal. They are not limited to one, but 
 affect all, and open new duties in all and towards all. 
 He has permitted our brother to be removed, not only 
 as a means of good to him and to all in that world 
 to which he has gone, but to all in this world also, 
 more especially to those who have been closely asso- 
 ciated with him, yet in some degree to every one of us 
 who are here present this day. This event has been 
 permitted, to enable us more fully to realize the exist- 
 ence of the world to which he has gone, that it may be 
 
108 FUNERAL SERVICE FOR ADULTS. 
 
 more present to us, and be more regarded by us ; thai 
 by his being carried upwards, all the feelings and 
 thoughts in us which are connected with him may be 
 carried upwards with him; that our grasp upon this 
 world may be loosened, our love for the things of it 
 may be made subservient to a love for the things of 
 the eternal world — to lessen our anxiety respecting 
 " what we shall eat. or what we shall drink, or where- 
 withal we shall be clothed," and thus enable us to 
 u seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.' , 
 
 And in particular with regard to those of us who 
 are bound to him that has gone with the bonds of 
 strong affection, his natural connection with us has 
 been permitted to be severed, not that this affection 
 may be in any degree lessened, bat that it may be 
 changed; not that any thing of it may be lost, but 
 that it may be renewed ; that it may become the love 
 of his eternal welfare ; that by our hearts following 
 him to his appointed mansion in the Father's house, 
 to the home of his eternal use in heaven, it may be- 
 come a love of that good, which it is his eternal de- 
 light to contribute towards the happiness and pros- 
 perity of the universal kingdom of the Lord. The 
 infirm body of our love for him, the impure natural 
 part of our affection for him, indeed dies ; for this 
 body is from ourselves. But with regard to all that 
 is pure and disinterested, with regard to all that is 
 spiritual and living, all that is from the Lord in it, 
 not a hair of the head shall perish ; but it rises again 
 stronger and purer than before. 
 
 Thus in relation to every one of us, the death and 
 resurrection of our brother is intended to produce a 
 change in our minds corresponding with that through 
 which he is now passing. It is intended to produce 
 death and resurrection there — a death of what is 
 gross, external, corporeal, and earthly in our affections, 
 and a resurrection into fuller life and freer activity of 
 all that is pure, internal, spiritual, and immortal in 
 them. So that every death that occurs around us is 
 intended to lift us up one step at least towards hea- 
 ven — to advance us one step at least in our prepara 
 
FUNERAL SERVICE FOR ADULTS. 109 
 
 tion for our own full and final departure hence. For 
 by perpetual deaths and resurrections of this spirit- 
 ual kind, even the angels are perpetually advancing. 
 They are perpetually dying as to themselves, and 
 living again as to the Lord. They are perpetually 
 leaving what is finite, impure, and imperfect, and ris- 
 ing again towards what is infinite and pure and 
 perfect. Their advancement for ever into more and 
 more interior states, and hence into more and more 
 fulness of that degree of life which they are able to re- 
 ceive, and thus their advancement in purity and bless- 
 edness for ever, is by their continually applying and 
 appropriating, by their continually living, the hea- 
 venly meaning of these words of the Lord, as they at 
 first became angels by living out their natural mean- 
 ing while on earth : " He that loveth father or mother 
 more than me, is not worthy of me : and he that lov- 
 eth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of 
 me : and he that taketh not his cross, and followeth 
 after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his 
 life shall lose it ; and he that loseth his life for my 
 sake shall find it." 
 
 Then the following prayer, or the Lord's Prayer, or both, may be nsed. 
 
 O Lord God of our fathers, most merciful Lord 
 Jesus Christ, in whose presence the living and the 
 dead are standing together, to whom all are alive, and 
 with whom there is no death, through whose tender 
 mercy, in these latter times, the day-spring from on 
 high hath visited us, to give light to them that sit in 
 darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet 
 in the way of peace ; give us to see in this as in all 
 the dispensations of thy wisdom, the bright footsteps 
 of an all-merciful providence, which in every act of 
 apparent destruction, doth but further the progress of 
 an eternal creation, and through the death of this life, 
 doth bestow the life of a heavenly kingdom. O cause, 
 we beseech thee, that this solemn visitation may 
 deeply impress us with the uncertainty of our own 
 10

 perishable state, and the necessity of preparing for the 
 concerns of an eternal world ; and seeing that the axe 
 is laid unto the root of the trees, may we, without 
 delay, strive to bring forth fruits worthy of repentance. 
 / Grant, O Lord, that we may watch as becometh 
 those who know not the hour in which the Son of 
 Man cometh ; and that following thee in the regenera- 
 tion, when the cry shall be made at midnight, " Be- 
 hold, the bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet him," 
 being ready, with our lamps trimmed and filled with 
 oil, we may enter with him to the marriage. We ask 
 this, O Lord, in thine own name, and for thy divine 
 mercy's sake. Amen. 
 
 Our Father, who art in the heavens; Hallowed be 
 thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, 
 as in heaven, so also upon the earth. Give us this 
 day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as 
 we also forgive our debtors. And lead us not into 
 temptation ; but deliver us from evil. For thine is 
 the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever : 
 Amen.

 If any service is desired at the grave, the following, after the coffin is lowered, 
 may be used. 
 
 We now commit his body to the tomb. That which 
 was formed of the dust of the ground, and into which 
 the breath of life is no longer breathed, is again re- 
 turned to the ground whence it was taken — earth to 
 earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust. As he has taken 
 his linal leave, so let us now take our final leave of

 this his earthly tenement, never again to be occupied 
 by him. As " he is not here, but is risen," let us in 
 our thoughts and feelings no longer tarry here, nor 
 henceforth seek him here: but let all that in us, by 
 which he was bound to us in love, rise upwards with 
 him, and accompany him to the " green pastures" and 
 the " still waters," whither the Lord leadeth all those 
 who have walked " in the paths of righteousness for 
 His name's sake." And as all the duties of merely 
 natural affection, all earthly duties, towards him, now 
 close while the grave closes upon his body, may ali 
 the duties of spiritual affection, all spiritual duties, 
 towards him, enjoy a resurrection with him, be opened 
 into more freedom and fulness of action, and be un- 
 folded, in blessings to him and to us, with perpetual 
 newness of life for ever.

 The service may be commenced by reading such passages of the Word 
 from the Funeral Service for Adults as the person officiating shall think 
 proper, together with one or more of the following passages. 
 
 And they brought unto him also infants, that he 
 would touch them : but when his disciples saw it, 
 they rebuked them. But Jesus called them, and said, 
 Suffer little children to come ur.to me, and forbid them 
 not : for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I 
 say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the king- 
 dom of God as a little child, shall in no wise enter 
 therein. — Luke xviii. 15-17. 
 
 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, 
 saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of hea- 
 ven ? And Jesus called a little child unto him, and 
 set him in the midst of them, and said, Verily I say 
 unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as lit- 
 tle children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of 
 heaven. Whosoever, therefore, shall humble himself 
 as this little child, the same is greatest in the king- 
 dom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such lit- 
 tle child in my name, receiveth me. — Mat. xviii. 1-5. 
 
 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little 
 ones ; for I say unto you, that their angels in heaven 
 do always behold the face of my Father who is in 
 heaven. 
 
 Even so it is not the will of your Father who is 
 in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish, 
 —Mat. xviii. 10, 14. 
 
FUNERAL SERVICE FOR INFANTS AND CHILDREN. 113 
 
 A Selection or Hymn may now be sung, if convenient. 
 Then may be read a part or the whole of the following Instruction. 
 
 We are told ir. the Sacred Scripture, that not a 
 sparrow falls to the ground, without the notice of our 
 Heavenly Father; and that even the very hairs of our 
 heads are all numbered. From this it is plain that 
 the Divine Providence of the Lord watches over 
 every human being, from the first moment of his life 
 to the last ; and nothing happens to him by chance, 
 but every thing that takes place is by the providence 
 or permission of the Lord. Every event of life is so 
 ordered by infinite love and wisdom, that, if rightly 
 improved by man, it will contribute to human happi- 
 ness and human salvation. Certainly, then, such an 
 event as the removal of a person from the natural 
 to the spiritual world, can take place only under the 
 divine providence of the Lord — can take place only 
 because divine love provides or permits this, and di- 
 vine wisdom foresees that it will be for the everlast- 
 ing good of that person. 
 
 This is a consoling thought, especially in relation 
 to the removal of infants and little children to the 
 spiritual world. Their removal is indeed the severing 
 of a tender tie between them and the little circle in 
 which they moved. The feelings which bind us to 
 them are of a peculiarly tender and delicate nature. 
 Their smiles, their artless manners, the tones of their 
 voices, the sweet expression of their faces, their dawn- 
 ing minds, all take a deep hold of the human heart. 
 They awaken affections in the mind of the parent 
 analogous to the paternal love of the Lord, and de- 
 velop some of the most vigorous germs of pure and 
 disinterested affection. Thus parents seem to live for 
 their children, and children for their parents. There 
 is a mutual interchange of happiness between them — 
 a circle of heavenly affections, innocence, and delights. 
 And thus it is hard for our natural feelings 1o sever 
 the natural connection between us and our children. 
 10* 
 
/* 
 
 114 FUNERAL SERVICE FOR INFANTS AND CHILDREN. 
 
 But in the doctrines of the New Jerusalem we have 
 much consoling instruction given us concerning death 
 and the state of infants and children in the other life. 
 We are taught that death itself is not the loss of life : 
 it is only passing from life in this world to life in the 
 spiritual world. The soul or spirit of man is the real 
 man, and this never dies; for it derives immortality 
 from the capacity of knowing, loving, and serving the 
 Lord. When therefore the material body dies, the 
 spirit goes immediately to live in the spiritual world, 
 in a spiritual body. 
 
 Hence we learn concerning the resurrection, that 
 immediately after the death of the body, man rises 
 into the spiritual world ; that he loses nothing, and 
 leaves nothing behind, which constituted any part of 
 the real man. We learn that he continues to live 
 hereafter a human being, enjoying all the means of 
 happiness which he possessed in the natural world. 
 He there has a body, and every sense which he had 
 in this world. The body, however, in which he rises 
 after death, is a spiritual body ; because the world in 
 which he is henceforth to live, is a spiritual world. 
 And the life, too, which he there lives, is human life, 
 purified and happy, or depraved and miserable, ac- 
 cording to the character of the ruling love which in- 
 fluenced him on earth, and the quality of the life 
 which he lived here. 
 
 But it is manifest that those who die in infancy 
 and childhood have not adopted either good or evil 
 loves as their ruling loves, have not confirmed them- 
 selves in either a good or an evil life. It is true, in- 
 deed, that they inherited from their parents an heredi- 
 tary nature, in which there are tendencies, dispositions, 
 and propensities to all kinds of evils. But inasmuch 
 as they have not confirmed themselves by their life 
 in these evil inclinations and propensities, have not 
 committed sin with a full knowledge of the nature 
 and consequences of sin, therefore, through the mercy 
 of the Lord, they attain to salvation. 
 
 That those who die in infancy and childhood are 
 received into heaven, may be inferred from what ig

 said in the Sacred Scriptures. When the Lord was 
 here upon earth, he said, " Suffer little children to 
 come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the 
 kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, whosoever 
 shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, 
 he shall in no wise enter therein." And again, speak- 
 ing of little children, he says, " Their angels in heaven 
 do always behold the face of my Father who is in 
 heaven." 
 
 It has been supposed by some, that infants will 
 remain infants, and children remain children, in the 
 spiritual world ; while by others it has been supposed 
 that they will at once become perfect angels. Nei- 
 ther the one nor the other of these views is correct. 
 But infants and little children are born into the hea- 
 venly world in the same state in which they leave this 
 world ; and they gradually grow up there, as they 
 would have grown up here. If they had continued to 
 live on earth, we know that their bodies would "gra- 
 dually have grown up, their minds would have become 
 active, they would have increased in knowledge, and 
 all their faculties would have become developed to 
 manhood or to womanhood. So in the spiritual 
 world they will gradually grow in wisdom and in 
 stature, their minds will gradually come to maturity, 
 and their bodily appearance will change as their minds 
 advance, till they are seen by their associates and 
 companions as men and women. For in that world 
 the outward appearance corresponds to the inward 
 state and character. The growth of the mind goes 
 on there as well as here, but in a more regular and 
 orderly manner; because those who have the care 
 and education of children in that world are far better 
 fitted for their employment than parents and teachers 
 and nurses on earth are, and also because there the 
 means of instruction are far more perfect. 
 
 Infants, as soon as they come into the heavenly 
 world, are committed to the care of those guardian 
 ahgels, who are peculiarly qualified to take care of 
 and educate chi dren. These guardian angels instruct 
 them step after step in the lessons of heavenly wis-

 dom and life ; they train them to the performance of 
 those duties and uses to which they are afterwards to 
 be appointed by the Lord; they initiate them into 
 the delights of heaven, and introduce them to the 
 companionship of those who are like themselves in 
 age and qualities of mind. The angels to whose care 
 infants are committed, are those who, when they 
 lived in the natural world, loved little children from a 
 leal desire to do good and be useful to them, and at 
 the same time loved God. These angels have as 
 many children given to them as they desire, and are 
 able to bring up in a proper manner. 
 
 Those who have the care of little children in hea- 
 ven, act the part of mothers to them ; and they take 
 the place of their natural mothers. To them the 
 children look up as to their mothers ; and they love, 
 respect, and are obedient to them. But they are es- 
 pecially and constantly initiated into this state, to 
 know no other father, and afterwards to acknowledge 
 no other, but the Lord; and that they have life from 
 him. They are taught that He is their Father in 
 heaven ; and that they must look to him, and acknow- 
 ledge him, as their only Father. 
 
 Thus we may see that they are not made unhappy 
 from the want of their earthly parents. They do not 
 ever feel as if they were strangers there. They feel at 
 home where they are. They have every means around 
 them that can contribute to their happiness and their 
 future usefulness. They have the Lord for their Fa- 
 ther. They have one who receives them, and treats 
 them, and loves them, as their own mother. They have 
 brothers, and sisters, and companions, and playmates. 
 They have schools, and teachers who instruct them in 
 those things which have a tendency to make them grow 
 wise and good. They have beautiful gardens in which 
 they can walk, and lawns and fields in which they 
 enjoy their childish sports. Every thing which they 
 see around them appears to be alive. The very at- 
 mosphere in which they live, and w r hich they breathe, 
 sparkles with brilliancy and with life. 
 
 When we think of our children that have gone to 
 
FUNERAL SERVICE FOR INFANTS AND CHILDREN. 117 
 
 live in the heavenly world, we ought to think of them 
 under the light and influence of the New Jerusalem. 
 We ought to think of them as now living in a blissful 
 state above ; think of them as happy, and as having 
 every thing done for them that they want or need to 
 have done ; much more than we could do for them, 
 if they were with us here on earth. We ought to 
 think of them as growing in knowledge and in use- 
 fulness ; as improving in mind, increasing in stature, 
 and preparing to become angels. We ought not to 
 thiniv of them in any manner as dead, but as gone to 
 live in another better and happier state of existence. 
 
 If we look in this manner at the removal of child- 
 ren to the heavenly world, and their state of life there, 
 we shall cease to mourn, or to indulge in any inordi- 
 nate grief, at their departure from us. We shall try 
 to yield up any selfish desires that we may have to 
 keep them with us, and be willing to have them go 
 when the Lord calls them. We shall remember 
 what he says, " Suffer little children to come unto me, 
 and forbid them not." We shall endeavor to let our 
 minds rise, as they are rising; that when we go into 
 the world whither they have gone, we may be better 
 prepared to enjoy such society as theirs. 
 
 When we look at the state of infants and little 
 children in heaven, and see the advantages of nurture 
 and education there over those on earth, we are led 
 to see and feel that it is well with our children who 
 have gone there. We ought not, indeed, to desire to 
 have our children taken from us : on the other hand, 
 we ought to do what we can to preserve their life and 
 health in this world ; for this corresponds to the de- 
 sire to do what we can for their spiritual and eternal 
 life ; and Divine Providence has clothed this love of 
 their spiritual life with the love of their natural life. 
 But when the Lord has taken them from us, when 
 He sees it to be best for their good and for ours that 
 they should live no longer with us in this world, and 
 when we are inclined to feel sad on account of our 
 loss, we ought to think how well it is with our child- 
 ren ; and if we truly love them, we shall learn to be 
 
118 FUNERAL SERVICE FOR INFANTS AND CHILDREN. 
 
 resigned to what is for their everlasting happiness. 
 We ought to take a living, elevated view of their 
 state, and even rejoice that they are where they can 
 be so much more happy than we could have made 
 them here on earth. In obedience to his commands, 
 when the Lord calls them, we should suffer them to 
 go unto him, and forbid them not. We should not 
 let our natural feelings prevail so far as to oppose 
 what He sees to be best for them. 
 
 From a knowledge of the education and stale of 
 children in the spiritual world, we are led to see how 
 important and responsible are the duties of parents 
 towards their children on earth. The Lord has shown 
 us the states of those in heaven, that we may learn 
 to make earth itself more heavenly ; that we may 
 make the home and family and education on earth 
 more like those in heaven. 
 
 It is our first and most important duty as parents, 
 to give the children committed to us a religious edu- 
 cation ; to instruct them in the truths of the Sacred 
 Scriptures; to bring them up under the sphere and 
 influence of the Church ; to teach them to live in 
 love towards one another, and to learn and keep the 
 commandments of the Lord. Especially is it our 
 duty to withdraw our children as much as possible 
 from evil influences and evil spheres, and prevent them 
 from cherishing hatred and revenge, or any evil feel- 
 ings: for by the indulgence of such affections, mutual 
 love and innocence are extinguished in the youthful 
 mind; and thus our children are excluded from the 
 sphere and influence of heaven, where nothing but 
 mutual love prevails. 
 
 It is well known that infants and little children in 
 this world are subjects of peculiar influences from the 
 heavenly world. The Lord himself teaches this, 
 when he says, " Their angels in heaven" — that is, 
 the angels who watch over, guard, and protect little 
 children, "do always behold the face of my Father 
 who is in heaven." The heavenly influences, too, 
 that come down to us through infants and children, 
 are some of the most saving and redeeming influences. 
 
FUNERAL SERVICE FOR INFANTS AND CHILDREN. 119 
 
 They are powerful for good. Infants have always 
 formed a sphere of heaven upon earth. How import- 
 ant that this sphere of innocence and childlike humi- 
 lity should be preserved in the church, in society, in 
 our families, and in our own hearts. 
 
 The Lord says to his disciples, " Verily I say unto 
 you, Except ye be converted, and become as little 
 children, ye shall not enter the kingdom of heaven." 
 
 Then the following prayer, or the Lord's Prayer, or both, may be used. 
 
 O Blessed and ever-living Lord God and Savior 
 Almighty, thou who art the resurrection and the life, 
 who hast now been pleased to call the departed [little 
 one, or child, or dear one] from this transitory stage 
 of being ; give us to see in this, as in all the dispensa- 
 tions of thy wisdom, the bright footsteps of an all-mer- 
 ciful providence, w r hich in every act of apparent de- 
 struction, doth but further the progress of an eternal 
 creation, and through the death of this life, doth be- 
 stow the life of a heavenly kingdom. O cause, we 
 beseech thee, that this solemn visitation may deeply 
 impress us, who remain, with the uncertainty of our 
 continuance here, and the necessity of making timely 
 preparation for that hereafter in which the state of 
 our life will be fixed for ever. Seeing the frailty of 
 all things below, may w 7 e fix our hearts entirely on the 
 substantial reality of the things that are above. May 
 this dispensation be sanctified to the spiritual and 
 eternal good of us all, and especially to the afflicted 
 family and friends. In mercy comfort them with thy 
 presence, and strengthen them by the influences of thy 
 Holy Spirit, so that with sincere and humble hearts 
 they may feel it good to say, " Thy will be done." 
 May they, and all of us who are here present this day, 
 receive and use so wisely all the dispensations of thy 
 providence, that the messenger of natural death shall 
 be to us the herald of everlasting life. May our re- 
 moval from earth be an admission into heaven ; and 
 may our separation from friends according to the flesh, 
 
120 FUNERAL SERVICE FOR INFANTS AND CHILDREN. 
 
 be our consociation with spiritual kindred in the world 
 of bliss. Receive us, O Heavenly Father, when we 
 go hence, into thy more immediate presence, to be fed 
 by thee at the fountain of living waters, where pain 
 and sorrow shall cease for ever, where we shall again 
 meet the dear ones who have gone before us, and 
 where thou thyself wilt wipe away all tears from our 
 eyes. Amen. 
 
 Our Father, who art in the heavens; Hallowed be 
 thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, 
 as in heaven, so also upon the earth. Give us this 
 day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as 
 we also forgive our debtors. And lead us not into 
 temptation; but deliver us from evil. For thine is 
 the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. 
 Amen. 
 
 A Selection or Hymn may now be sung, If convenient. 
 
 BENEDICTION. 
 
 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you 
 all. Amen. 
 
 If any service is desired at the grave, Selection 17 may be sung, or read : 
 after which the Minister may read the following passages 
 
 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, 
 saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of hea- 
 ven ? And Jesus called a little child unto him, and 
 set him in the midst of them, and said, Verily I say 
 unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as lit- 
 tle children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of 
 heaven. Whosoever, therefore, shall humble himself 
 as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom 
 of heaven. — Matt, xviii. 1-4. 
 
FUNERAL SERVICE FOR INFANTS AND CHILDREN. 121 
 
 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little 
 ones ; for I say unto you, that their angels in heaven 
 do always behold the face of my Father who is in 
 heaven. — Mat. xviii. 10. 
 
 Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them 
 not, to come unto me : for of such is the kingdom of 
 heaven. — Mat. xix. 14. 
 
 When the coffin is lowered into the grave, the Minister may say, 
 
 Forasmuch as it hath pleased the Lord, in his wise 
 and good Providence, to remove this child to the spi- 
 ritual world, we do therefore commit the body to the 
 grave, earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust; 
 with the confident assurance that he w T ill live for ever 
 in a state of happiness and of active usefulness in the 
 heavenly world. 
 
 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, 
 Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from 
 henceforth. — Rev. xiv. 13. 
 
 Then may be said the Lord's Prayer, or the prayer on page 119.

ORDINATION. 
 
 Tbo whole or a part of the following Service may be used, to be commenced 
 by singing a suitable Selection or Hymn, all standing. The Minister may 
 then read the following passage : 
 
 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, 
 leaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gos- 
 pel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and 
 every disease among the people. But when he saw 
 the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on 
 them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, 
 as sheep having no shepherd. Then saith he unto his 
 disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the la- 
 borers are few ; pray ye therefore the Lord of the har- 
 vest that he will send forth laborers into his harvest. 
 — Mat. ix. 35 - 38. 
 
 Then may be read one or more of the following chapters : 
 
 Exodus xxviii.; Isaiah xi. ; xlii. 1-16; lii.; lxi. ; 
 lxii. ; Mat. x.; John x. 1-16. 
 
 The Ordaining Minister may then deliver the following 
 
 ADDRESS. 
 
 Divine order requires that Ministers should be ap- 
 pointed to administer the ordinances of the church, 
 and to officiate in the public worship of the Lord; 
 to teach men the way to heaven, and to lead them 
 therein. Wherefore it is necessary that proper per- 
 sons should be called and set apart to that office, in a 
 
ORDINATION. 123 
 
 manner becoming the sacred nature of the duties they 
 are to discharge. 
 
 Be it known, therefore, to all present, that A B has 
 been duly recommended and approved as a person 
 properly qualified to be introduced into the Ministry 
 of the New Jerusalem. 
 
 The ordination of Ministers is effected by the 
 imposition of hands, because this signifies the com- 
 munication of spiritual life from the Lord, and of 
 illumination, and of the power of instruction, which 
 particularly belong to the ministerial office. 
 
 The doctrines of the New Church teach that 
 
 " The common good consists of the following 
 things : that in a society or kingdom there be 
 I. What is Divine among the people : 
 II. That there be Justice among them : 
 
 III. That there be Morality." — Doc. Char. 65. 
 
 They also teach that " what is Divine exists there 
 through the Ministry ; Justice, through the magis- 
 trates and judges ; and Morality, through what is Di- 
 vine and what is Just." — Doc. Char. 66. 
 
 That " the clergy, because they are to teach doc- 
 trine from the Word, concerning the Lord, and con- 
 cerning redemption and salvation from Him, are to 
 be inaugurated by the covenant, promise, or pledge of 
 the Holy Spirit, and by the representation of its trans- 
 mission ; but that it is received by the clergy according 
 to the faith of their life." — Can. p. 30. 
 
 We are also taught, that " By the touch of the 
 hand, is signified communication, transmission, and 
 reception." — A. C. 10,130. 
 
 And that " To put the hand on the head, is repre- 
 sentative that blessing is communicated to the un- 
 derstanding and to the will, thus to the man himself." 
 — A. C. 6292. 
 
 " That Divine virtue, which, among the clergy, is 
 meant by the operation of the Holy Spirit, is, in par- 
 ticular, illustration, and instruction ; but to these may 
 be added two intermediate virtues, which are, per- 
 ception and disposition : there are, therefore, among 
 the clergy, four successive operations, following each 
 
121 ORDINATION. 
 
 other in this order, — Illustration, Perception, Dispo- 
 sition, and Instruction. Illustration is from the 
 Lord alone. Perception has place in a man accord- 
 ing to the state of his mind as formed by doctrines: 
 and where those doctrines are true, the perception is 
 rendered clear by the light of illustration ; but where 
 they are false, the perception is rendered obscure, yet 
 so as to have the appearance of clearness, arising 
 from the reasonings and arguments which have been 
 used for their confirmation. Such apparent clearness 
 is, however, only a consequence of that false and de- 
 lusive light, which, in the eye of the merely natural 
 man, appears like the light of truth. Disposition 
 arises from the affection of the love of the will ; and 
 it is the delight springing from that love, which effects 
 it. If this delight spring from the love of evil and 
 its attendant falsity, it gives birth to a zeal which is 
 outwardly sharp, harsh, furious, fiery, and inwardly 
 full of anger, rage, and unmercifulness : but if it 
 spring from the love of good and its attendant truth, 
 it then gives birth to a zeal which is outwardly soft 
 and smooth, yet loud and burning, and inwardly full 
 of charity, kindness, and mercy. Instruction follows 
 as an effect produced by the former. Thus illustra- 
 tion, which is from the Lord, is changed into various 
 lights and colors in every individual, according to the 
 state of his mind." — T. C. R. 155. 
 
 " With respect to the priests, they ought to teach 
 men the way to heaven, and also to lead them : they 
 ought to teach them according to the doctrine of their 
 church derived from the Word, and they ought to 
 lead them to live according to it. Priests who teach 
 truths, and thereby lead to good of life, and so to the 
 Lord, are the good shepherds of the sheep ; but they 
 who only teach, and do not lead to good of life, and 
 so to the Lord, are the evil shepherds. 
 
 " Priests ought not to claim to themselves any 
 power over the souls of men, inasmuch as they do 
 not know in what state the interiors of a man are 
 still less ought they to claim the power of opening 
 and shutting heaven, since that power belongs to the 
 Lord alone. 
 
 
ORDINATION. 125 
 
 " Dignity and honor ought to be paid to priests, 
 on account of the sanctity of their office ; but they 
 who are wise give the honor to the Lord, from whom 
 all sanctity is derived, and not to themselves ; whilst 
 they who are not wise attribute the honor to them- 
 selves, whereby they take it from the Lord. They 
 who attribute honor to themselves, on account of the 
 sanctity of their office, prefer honor and gain to the 
 salvation of souls, which they ought to provide for ; 
 but they who give the honor to the Lord, and not to 
 themselves, prefer the salvation of souls to honor and 
 gain. The honor of any employment is not in the 
 person, but is adjoined to him according to the dig- 
 nity of the thing which he administers ; and what is 
 adjoined does not belong to the person himself, and 
 is also separated from him with the employment. All 
 personal honor is the honor of wisdom and the fear 
 of the Lord. 
 
 " Priests ought to teach the people, and to lead them 
 by means of truths to good of life ; but still they 
 ought to force no one, since no one can be forced to 
 believe contrary to what he thinks from his heart to 
 be truth. He who believes otherwise than the priest, 
 and makes no disturbance, ought to be left in peace ; 
 but he who makes disturbance ought to be separated; 
 for this also is agreeable to order, for the sake of 
 which the priesthood is established." — H. D. 315-318. 
 
 " Charity in the Priest. When he looks to the Lord 
 and shuns evils as sins, and does the appointed work 
 of his ministry sincerely, justly, and faithfully, he does 
 the good of use continually, and becomes a charity 
 in form. And he does the good of use, or the work 
 of his ministry, sincerely, justly, and faithfully, when 
 he feels affected for the salvation of souls : and in 
 proportion as this is the case, he is affected by truths; 
 for truths are the means of leading souls to heaven : 
 and when he leads them to the Lord, it is then he is 
 leading them by means of truths to heaven. And he 
 has then also an earnest love of teaching truths from 
 the Word; for in teaching them from the Word, he 
 teaches them from the Lord; for the Lord is the Word: 
 11* 
 
126 ORDINATION. 
 
 and furthermore, He is the Way, the Truth, and he Life, 
 as He himself says, John xiv. 5 ; and He is the Door, 
 John x. 9. He, therefore, who enters the fold by the 
 Lord as the door, is a good shepherd; but he who 
 does not, is a bad shepherd, who is called a thief and 
 a robber. John x. 1-9." — Doct. Char. 86. 
 
 Ministers are representatives of the Lord. Their 
 official duties are representatives of his Divine opera- 
 tions. He is present with all men, and operating upon 
 all. In his Divine Humanity he is with us, and his 
 Spirit is always operating upon us. Without him we 
 can do nothing. But he is invisible, and his opera- 
 tions are invisible. He has therefore provided that 
 there should be ministers to represent him among 
 men, — ministers to teach in an external manner doc- 
 trines which correspond to what he teaches in an in- 
 ternal manner, and to do externally things which cor- 
 respond with what he does internally. Thus he is by 
 his internal influence endeavoring to enlighten men, 
 so that they may know what is good and true ; but 
 this influence would have no effect upon them, if he 
 did not also provide that they should receive some 
 external instruction, into which his influence might 
 fall, and in which it might be embodied. He has 
 therefore given the Sacred Scriptures ; and has pro- 
 vided that there should be ministers to explain them, 
 and to teach the doctrines which are contained in 
 them. 
 
 So, too, he is continually endeavoring to baptize 
 men with the Holy Spirit and with fire ; that is, to 
 regenerate them by the influence of his Love and 
 Wisdom : and as a means of preparing us to be ope- 
 rated upon in this manner, he has provided that there 
 should be ministers to baptize with water, and to 
 teach men the necessity of regeneration, and the man- 
 ner in which the work is to be accomplished. 
 
 So, again, he is constantly endeavoring to give 
 Bpiritual life unto men, and to cherish and increase it. 
 This spiritual life is his Goodness and Truth. His 
 Goodness is the life of our wills, and his Truth is the 
 
ORDINATION. 127 
 
 life of our understandings. But he cannot give us 
 these things, merely by flowing into our minds, and 
 operating upon them in an interna) manner. He can- 
 not give them to us in such a manner that we can 
 receive them, without in the first place giving us a 
 knowledge of them : and this must be given in an 
 externa] way; that is, through the senses. He has 
 therefore revealed his Goodness and Truth in the 
 Sacred Scriptures : he has also instituted the Holy 
 Supper; in which the bread is an emblem of his 
 Goodness, the wine an emblem of his Truth, and the 
 eating of the bread and drinking of the wine represent 
 the reception and appropriation of his Goodness and 
 Truth : he has provided that there should be ministers 
 to explain the Scriptures, so as to make the Goodness 
 and Truth of them manifest and intelligible; also to 
 administer the ordinance of the Holy Supper, to un- 
 fold the spiritual meaning of it, to show us how we 
 may be prepared for it, and thus enable us to receive 
 it internally as well as externally, — to receive the 
 Goodness into our wills, and the Truth into our un- 
 derstandings, as well as to receive the bread and wine 
 into our bodies. 
 
 And with regard to the work of Redemption, mi- 
 nisters should be representatives of the Lord. When 
 the power of evil spirits was becoming predominant 
 upon earth, he took upon himself our nature, and thus 
 came down into our state and circumstances, so that 
 he might overcome the obstacles which lay in the 
 way of our salvation — that he might do such works 
 as men could not do, but which needed to be done 
 that they might be saved. Inasmuch as he took upon 
 himself our nature, he took upon himself also the he- 
 reditary tendencies and propensities of it ; so that he 
 could have such feelings and thoughts arise in his Hu- 
 manity, as arise in the minds of unregenerate men. 
 Evil spirits could operate upon his Humanity, as they 
 operate upon men; except that in relation to men 
 they are often successful, whereas in relation to him 
 they were always unsuccessful. And as by means of 
 his Humanity, before it was glorified, evil spirits could 
 
128 ORDINATION. 
 
 have access to him, so by the same means he could 
 have access to them. As the evil spirits could inspire 
 evil feelings and false thoughts into his Humanity, so 
 he could, from the Divine Love and Wisdom of his 
 internal Divinity, bring down into his Humanity the 
 good feelings and the true thoughts which were ne- 
 cessary to overcome them. He thus caused his Hu- 
 manity to have Divine human feelings and thoughts, 
 in relation to every evil and false thing which the evil 
 spirits could suggest. By this means he purified and 
 glorified his Humanity, so that it could be no more 
 tempted: and by this means he at the same time 
 overcame all kinds of evil spirits ; for he caused them 
 to see themselves, and every thing that proceeded 
 from them, as he saw them in the divine light of 
 heaven, in the presence of which they could not abide 
 for a moment. 
 
 It was on account of his Infinite Love towards 
 men, that he took upon himself their nature, and came 
 down into their circumstances, and performed these 
 works of salvation. This Infinite Love is eternal. It 
 operates as powerfully now, as it did then. His Di- 
 vine Humanity is also eternal ; and it has the same 
 power of saving men from the influence of evil spirits 
 now, that it had then. And as it was then, so it is 
 now; his power is manifest in none but those who 
 love him and believe in him. Those who love him 
 and believe in him, do by this means receive him into 
 their minds; so that they love, think, and act from 
 him. Accordingly, when any thing evil and false is 
 suggested to them, they think and feel in relation to 
 it from his Divine Humanity; they think and feel as 
 he leads them to think and feel ; they think and feel 
 in relation to it, as he felt and thought when in the 
 world. And the evil spirits do not regard them as 
 mere men; for they perceive that the Lord as to his 
 Divine Humanity is in them, and that his Divine 
 Power operates through them : consequently they re- 
 linquish the combat, turn their backs upon him, and 
 flee from his presence. 
 
 Now it is the effort of the Lord that all men should 
 
ORDINATION. 129 
 
 receive of the Love from which he performed, and ia 
 now performing, these works of redemption and sal- 
 vation ; and when we receive it, we are all led by it 
 to perform works corresponding to his works, — cor 
 responding as the finite corresponds with the Infinite — 
 as imperfect human things correspond with the per- 
 fect Divine. When we receive his Divine Love, it 
 leads us all to have compassion upon one another 
 when we are in states of suffering, especially spiritual 
 suffering ; or when we are in danger of it. It leads 
 us to come spiritually near to one another, and to enter 
 into one another's states of mind, that we may afford 
 one another assistance and protection. 
 
 Thus the influence of the Divine Love, when it is 
 received into the mind, has a tendency to make all 
 men perform works which more or less correspond 
 with the work of Redemption ; but when it is received 
 by ministers, it leads them to do works which corre- 
 spond more perfectly, because it is their office and 
 duty to cooperate with the Lord in saving men. 
 
 One great part of the duty of a minister, and one 
 great means of usefulness, is for him to learn to put 
 himself in the place of his people ; that is, to suppose 
 himself to be in their states and circumstances, and 
 thea to consider what would be good for himself, if 
 he were there. If he loves them, and desires to be 
 useful to them, he will be constantly going to them in 
 this manner ; for this is the means by w T hich he can 
 adapt any thing to their states : for when he goes into 
 thnr states, he loses nothing of the goodness, or wis- 
 dom, or spiritual power, that properly belongs to him ; 
 but, on the contrary, he acquires the additional power 
 of being able to adapt all that he has to their benefit: 
 for when he spiritually goes to them, or enters into 
 their states, he can perceive how they think and feel; 
 he ?an for the time think and feel as they do; and 
 when this is the case, he can see how he could be 
 made to think and feel differently ; — how he could be 
 lifted up out of his present state; — he can see what 
 kind of treatment would be suited to him; — he can 
 see what kind of instruction he would need, and how 
 
130 ORDINATION. 
 
 it should be expressed that he might understand it 
 and be affected by it. And when he sees what would 
 be good for himself, he can see what will be good for 
 those whom he is endeavoring to assist. 
 
 If a minister proceed in this manner, he will not 
 act with harshness and severity, for he will not act 
 from his natural man ; but he will act and speak with 
 gentleness and kindness, for he w T ill act and speak 
 from the spiritual man ; he will act and speak from 
 the Love and Wisdom which have flowed into his 
 mind from the Lord ; he will treat others as the Lord 
 has treated him ; he will treat others as he would have 
 others treat him : for before he acts, he puts himself 
 in their places, and ascertains what would be good 
 for himself; or, in other words, what he would have 
 others do for him. 
 
 Every one has the power of doing this in some 
 degree, but the power is enlarged by practice and ex- 
 perience : it increases, as the love of doing good in- 
 creases; till at length one acquires the habit of enter- 
 ing into the states of others, and learning what is 
 good for them, without effort. His love is with them, 
 his feelings are with them, he is with them ; and con- 
 sequently he knows by intuition what is good for 
 them. 
 
 This power which is given to ministers to enter into 
 the states of their people, is a most important means 
 of usefulness: without it they might perhaps be mi- 
 nisters of the law that was given through Moses, but 
 not of the grace and truth that came by Jesus Christ. 
 But there is a reciprocal power given to the people, 
 which is equally important; and that is, the power 
 of entering into the states of their ministers. They 
 are generally employed in the various uses of life, so 
 that they cannot, like ministers, make it their princi- 
 pal business to acquire and communicate spiritual 
 knowledge. But when, from a love of performing 
 spiritual uses, their ministers enter into their states of 
 mind, and adapt heavenly things to them, they can, 
 from a love of receiving spiritual uses, enter into the 
 states of their ministers, and then in a greater or less 
 
ORDINATION. 131 
 
 degree understand and feel as they do. For on the 
 Sabbath and other suitable occasions, they leave their 
 usual employments, they cease to do their own ways, 
 to find their own pleasure, to exercise their own affec- 
 tions, to think their own thoughts, or to speak their 
 own words ; and they come unto their minister as to 
 a representative of the Lord, that they may delight 
 themselves in the Lord, and in the holy things that 
 proceed from him; that they may" be spiritually lifted 
 up ; that they may ride upon the high places of the 
 earth ; and that they may perceive and feed upon the 
 food of angels — the living bread which the Lord 
 himself brought down from heaven : for it is a minis- 
 ter's duty to show his people what this bread is, and 
 Uow they may come into possession of it ; it is his 
 auty to bring it down to their states and capacities, 
 so that they may have a perception of it, and an af- 
 fection for it. And while he is endeavoring to do 
 this, they also have something to do ; while he is en- 
 deavoring to bring down the Divine truth to meet 
 their states, they should endeavor to go up as far as 
 they can to meet it. When this is the case, if he en- 
 deavors to explain any thing, they will endeavor to 
 understand it ; and if he shows them what feelings we 
 ought to have upon any subject, they will endeavor to 
 come under the influence of such feelings : thus, by 
 means of his efforts united with their efforts, they are 
 lifted up, so that they can see as he sees, and feel as 
 he feels. He is then performing the use for which he 
 is appointed and ordained. He is a medium of Divine 
 Blessings. Freely he receives from the Lord, and 
 freely gives to his people. He is not acting of him- 
 self, nor for himself; he is not seeking his own plea- 
 sure, nor doing his own ways, nor speaking his own 
 words; but he is delighting himself in the Lord, and 
 in receiving and communicating the things which are 
 from the Lord : and when his people cooperate with 
 him, when they enter into his states — into his feel- 
 ings and thoughts, they also will delight in the Lord, 
 and will receive the Holy Spirit that proceeds from 
 Him. 
 
132 ORDINATION. 
 
 After the Address, the Ordaining Minister shall then ask the candidate the 
 following questions : 
 
 Ord. Min. — Do you sincerely believe that it is of 
 the Divine Providence of the Lord, that you are call- 
 ed to the office of a minister in the New Jerusalem? 
 
 Answer. — I do. 
 
 Orel Min. — Do you now, in the presence of the 
 Lord, and of this assembly, declare your faith in the 
 Divine Word, and in the Heavenly Doctrines of the 
 New Jerusalem, as unfolded in the writings of Ema 
 nuel Swedenborg? 
 
 Answer. — I do. 
 
 Ord. Min. — Do you now desire to be ordained as a 
 minister, that you may perform the duties of that 
 office, in teaching and leading men according to those 
 doctrines ? 
 
 Answer. — I do. 
 
 Then shall the Ordaining Minister read the following passages : 
 
 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All 
 power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go 
 ye, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, bap- 
 tizing them into the name of the Father, and of the 
 Son, and of the Holy Spirit; teaching them to do all 
 things whatsoever I have commanded you : and lo, 
 I am with you all the days, until the consummation 
 of the age. Amen. — Matt, xxviii. 18-20. 
 
 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of 
 heaven is at hand. 
 
 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of 
 wolves : be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harm- 
 less as doves. 
 
 He that receiveth you, receiveth me ; and he that 
 receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me. — Matt, x, 
 7, 16, 40. 
 
 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and 
 ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit ; 
 and that your fruit should remain : that whatsoever 
 ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give 
 it you. — John xv. 16. 
 
ORDINATION. 138 
 
 Peace be unto you : as the Father hath sent me, I 
 also send you. And when he had said this, he breath- 
 ed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the 
 Holy Spirit— John xx. 21, 22. 
 
 Here, the candidate kneeling, the Ordaining Minister shall lay his hands 
 upon his head, and sav : 
 
 Ord. Min. — You are hereby ordained to be a mi- 
 nister of the New Jerusalem, and are set apart to the 
 performance of the duties pertaining to the first grade 
 of that sacred office. To you is given the authority 
 and power to teach and preach the Heavenly Doc- 
 trines of the New Jerusalem : to lead in the public 
 worship of the Lord : to administer the ordinance of 
 Baptism, the rite of Confirmation, and the sacrament 
 of the Holy Supper: to consecrate marriages, and 
 officiate at funerals ; and thus, as a minister of the 
 Lord, to instruct the people, and lead them in the 
 way of life. 
 
 * [And as you have been invited by society 
 
 to become their pastor, and have accepted their invi- 
 tation, you are also hereby introduced into the pastor- 
 ate of this society: you are authorized to preside at 
 its ecclesiastical meetings : to lead its worship : to 
 officiate in receiving members into it : to watch over 
 them : to administer to them the ordinances of the 
 church: to instruct them in its doctrines; and to lead 
 them in the way of eternal life.] 
 
 Jehovah bless thee, and keep thee: Jehovah make 
 his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee : 
 Jehovah lift up his countenance upon thee, and give 
 ihee peace. 
 
 The candidate will then rise, and the Ordaining Minister will address him 
 
 thus : 
 
 Ord. Min. — The Lord in his Divine Providence 
 
 * This paragraph is not to be used, except when a minister is settled aa 
 pastor of a society at the time of his ordination.

134 ORDINATION. 
 
 has chosen and ordained you to be a minister in his 
 New Jerusalem. 
 
 And placing a copy of the Holy Scriptures in the right hand of the candi- 
 date, he shall say: 
 
 Receive, therefore, the Word of the Lord, the 
 Fountain and Source of all goodness and truth to 
 angels and men. 
 
 And placing in his left hand a copy of the True Christian Religion, he shall 
 
 say: 
 
 Receive, also, the " True Christian Religion," where- 
 in is contained the Universal Theology of the New 
 Church — the Heavenly Doctrines of the New Jeru- 
 salem. 
 
 From this Word, according to these Doctrines, mav 
 you ever teach the people, and lead them in the wav 
 of life. Be ever mindful of the sanctity of youi 
 office. Conduct yourself on all occasions as becomes 
 your calling, with humility, meekness, and kindness. 
 " Let your light so shine before men, that they may 
 see your good works, and glorify your Father who 
 is in the heavens." Be faithful to the charge com- 
 mitted to your trust. And may the Lord Jesus 
 Christ be with you always. May He open your un- 
 derstanding, so that you may perceive in all the Scrip- 
 tures the things concerning Himself. May you receive 
 of His fulness, and grace for grace. And may He 
 ever enable you freely to give, as you have freely re- 
 ceived. 
 
 Then an Anthem, Selection, or Hymn may be sung. 
 
 BENEDICTION. 
 
 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you 
 all. Amen. 
 
INSTALLATION. 
 
 [When a Minister has been invited by a Society to become ita 
 Pastor, and has accepted the invitation, it seems to be good and 
 useful to both pastor and people, that he be inducted into office 
 by appropriate religious services. The whole or a part of the 
 following may be used.] 
 
 So much as may seem proper of the service for Ordination preceding the 
 questions to the candidate, may be used. Then the Ordaining Minister 
 will proceed as follows : 
 
 Ord. Mm. — A B:You have already been ordained 
 as a Minister, and have been authorized to perform the 
 duties which belong to the first grade in the ministry. 
 The New Jerusalem Society in this place has invited 
 you to become its pastor, and you have accepted the 
 invitation ; and we are now assembled to perform the 
 religious services by which you are to be inducted 
 into that office. 
 
 Do you now, therefore, in the presence of the Lord, 
 and of this assembly, declare that you desire to be in- 
 troduced into this office, in order that you may teach 
 and lead this people according to the Heavenly Doc- 
 trines of the New Jerusalem, as unfolded from the 
 Lord's Holy Word, in the writings of Emanuel Swe- 
 denborg ? 
 
 Answer. — I do. 
 
 The candidate will then kneel, and the Ordaining Minister will lay his 
 hands upon his head, and address him as follows : 
 
 Ord. Min. — You are hereby introduced into the of- 
 fice of pastor of this society. You are authorized to 
 
136 INSTALLATION. 
 
 preside at its ecclesiastical meetings; to officiate In 
 receiving members into it ; to watch over them ; to ad- 
 minister unto them the ordinances of the church; to 
 instruct them in its doctrines, and lead them in the 
 way of life eternal. 
 
 And while you are performing these duties, may 
 you know and acknowledge Him who standeth in the 
 midst of us : may you be under the influence and 
 guidance of Him who baptizeth with the Holy Spirit 
 and with fire: may the Lord Jesus Christ be with 
 you always : may He open your understanding, so 
 that you may perceive in all the Scriptures things 
 concerning himself: may you receive of his fulness, 
 and grace for grace : and may he enable you freely 
 to give, as you have freely received. 
 
 Jehovah bless thee, and keep thee : Jehovah make 
 his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 
 Jehovah lift up his countenance upon thee, and give 
 thee peace. 
 
 Here an Anthem, Selection, or Hymn may be sung. 
 
 BENEDICTION. 
 
 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with yon 
 all : Amen. 
 
CONSECRATION. 
 
 So much as may be proper of that part of the Ordination Service waica 
 precedes the questions to the candidate, may here be used ; after which, 
 the service will proeeed as follows : 
 
 When a person is about to enter upon an office of 
 dignity and honor, it is important for him to examine 
 himself, that he may see what his motives are, and 
 what affections are prevailing in his mind. 
 
 It is of Divine Order, and of the Divine Providence, 
 that there should be governments in the church and 
 in the state : for without government, evils could not 
 be prevented in a community; without government, 
 the good of the whole could not be provided for ; with- 
 out government, men cannot be brought into their 
 proper relations to one another, so that they may work 
 together — so that many men may become as one 
 man — so that the power of every part may contri- 
 bute to the security, the welfare, and the happiness 
 of every other part. 
 
 And as there must be governments in the church 
 and in the state, so there must be offices, both eccle- 
 siastical and civil ; and there must be various grades 
 among the offices, that the rulers themselves may be 
 superintended, that each one may perform his own 
 duty, and that the true relations among them may be 
 preserved. 
 
 Thus it may be seen that all offices are designed 
 for uses ; and that all persons who properly fill offices, 
 are employed, not in making others do good unto 
 them, but in themselves doing good unto others : the 
 higher the office, the less does any one do for himself, 
 and the more for others. 
 
 12* 
 
138 CONSECRATION. 
 
 And as offices are designed for uses, and as those 
 who fill them must be employed in performing uses 
 so it is of Divine Order that offices should be desired 
 from a love of uses, and filled with a love of uses. 
 This is the case with angels and spiritual men. The 
 ruling love with all of them is love towards others ; 
 and the love from which they act in their offices is the 
 love of performing uses to their neighbors. This cha- 
 racteristic they derive from Him who fills the highest 
 office, and who rules over all in the heavens. He 
 does not act from the love of governing, from a love 
 of glory, nor from a love of having his subjects wor- 
 ship, honor, and serve him ; but from a love of doing 
 good unto them. And when he came into the world, 
 not to be ministered unto, but to minister unto others, 
 he manifested his true character, and showed the na- 
 ture of the love from which he always acts. 
 
 Whence it is manifest, that, if we would be in his 
 kingdom, and would be conjoined with him, we must 
 act from a similar love ; that those in his kingdom 
 who are nearest to him, are most like him ; that those 
 who are most elevated, are the most humble ; and that 
 those who fill the highest offices, are the least under 
 the influence of self-love, and most under the influence 
 of love towards others: accordingly, when he had, by 
 a life of usefulness, showed the nature of his own 
 love, then, in order that we might become like him, he 
 said unto the disciples, " Whosoever will be great 
 among you, let him be your minister; and whosoever 
 will be chief among you, let him be your servant." 
 
 Tha Ordaining Minister will here address the candidate as foLows: 
 
 Orel. Min. — You have already been ordained as a 
 Minister of the New Jerusalem, and have been autho- 
 rized to perform the duties which belong to the first 
 grade in the ministry. Application has been made 
 to the proper authorities, that you be introduced into 
 the second grade, and the request has been granted. 
 
 Po you now, in the presence of the Lord, and of 
 
CONSECRATION. 139 
 
 this assembly, declare that you desire to be introduced 
 into this grade of the ministry, in order that you may 
 perform the duties of it ? 
 Answer. — I do. 
 
 Then shall the Ordaining Minister read the following passages : 
 
 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, Ail 
 power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go 
 ye, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, bap- 
 tizing them into the name of the Father, and of the 
 Son, and of the Holy Spirit; teaching them to do all 
 things whatsoever I have commanded you : and, lo, 
 I am with you all the days, until the consummation 
 of the age. Amen. — Matt, xxviii. 18-20. 
 
 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of 
 heaven is at hand. 
 
 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of 
 wolves : be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harm- 
 less as doves. 
 
 He that receiveth you, receiveth me ; and he that 
 receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me. — Matt. x. 
 7, 16, 40. 
 
 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and 
 ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, 
 and that your fruit should remain : that whatsoever 
 ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give 
 it you. — John xv. 16. 
 
 Peace be unto you: as the Father hath sent me, I 
 also send you. And when he had said this, he breath- 
 ed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy 
 Spirit. — John xx. 21 22. 
 
 Here, the candidate kneeling, the Ordaining Minister shall lay his hands 
 upon his head, and say : 
 
 Ord. Min. — You are hereby introduced into the 
 second grade of the ministry. You are authorized to 
 institute Societies and Associations : to grant licenses, 
 and to ordain ministers, according to the Constitution 
 
140 ORDINATION. 
 
 of the General Convention : to counsel them, and to 
 watch over them: to officiate at the installation of 
 pastors : to preside at the ecclesiastical meetings of 
 the Convention, and of Associations, when invited to 
 do so : and to administer the Holy Supper on those 
 occasions. And that you may be able to perform 
 these uses, may the Lord Jesus Christ be with you 
 always : may he breathe upon you, and cause you to 
 receive his Holy Spirit: may he fill you with the love 
 which he feels towards men ; and may he cause you 
 to receive of his fulness, and grace for grace. 
 
 Jehovah bless thee, and keep thee: Jehovah make 
 his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto 
 thee : Jehovah lift up his countenance upon thee and 
 give thee peace. 
 
 Then an Anthem, Selection, or Hymn may be sung. 
 BENEDICTION. 
 
 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be witr vou 
 
 all : Amen. 
 
DEDICATION. 
 
 The Minister shall place the Word, open, upon the desk, to denote that its 
 internal sense is now revealed. 
 
 The " Order of Worship " may be followed to the close of the Prayer: then 
 may succeed the following passage from the Word, the Minister reading 
 the first line, and the people reading or singing the second line, of each 
 verse ; or the whole may be read by the Minister. 
 
 1. O Jehovah, remember David, 
 And | all | his af | flictions : 
 
 2. How he sware unto Jehovah, 
 
 And vowed unto the | Mighty | One of | Jacob ; 
 
 3. Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my 
 
 house, 
 Nor go | up in | to my | bed ; 
 
 4. I wiil not give sleep to mine eyes, 
 Or j siumber | to mine | eyelids ; 
 
 5. Until I find out a place for Jehovah, 
 Habitations for the | Mighty | One of | Jacob. 
 
 6. Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah : 
 
 We found it | in the | fields • of the | wood. 
 
 7. We will go into his tabernacles : 
 We will | worship | at his | footstool. 
 
 8. Arise, O Jehovah, into thy rest ; 
 Thou, and the | ark | of thy | strength. 
 
 9. Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; 
 And let thy | saints | shout for | joy 
 
142 DEDICATION. 
 
 10. For Jehovah hath chosen Zion ; 
 
 He hath desired it | for his | habi | tation.

 Here will I dwell ; for I | have de | sired I it

 13. I will also clothe her priests with salvation : 
 And her saints shall | shout a | loud for | joy 
 
 The Minister may then read 1 Bangs vm. 1 - 63. 
 
 The Doxology in the Order of Worship, p. 23, may follow. 
 
 Here may be read the Ten Commandments. 
 
 Then may be read a Lesson from the New Testament: John n. 13 -25; ot 
 some other suitable portion. 
 
 Here may be read the following 
 
 ADDRESS. 
 
 We are assembled together in this place, for the 
 purpose of setting apart this house from all ordinary 
 and secular uses, and dedicating it to the more imme- 
 diate service of the Lord, and to the performance of 
 the uses of divine worship and religions instruction. 
 
 Though, indeed, the heaven, and heaven of heavens, 
 cannot contain the Lord, much less this house that is 
 built with men's hands ; yet may he have respect unto 
 the prayers which we offer up unto him this day, and 
 grant that his name may be placed here. He hath 
 said, " Where two or three are gathered together in 
 my name, there am I in the midst of them." May he 
 be thus present with us, and be in the midst of us. 
 
 We hope and trust that this house has been built 
 
DEDICATION. 143 
 
 from the desire to promote the advancement of the 
 Lord's kingdom upon the earth. It is henceforth to 
 be set apart from all worldly and secular uses, and to 
 be exclusively appropriated to the worship and ser- 
 vice of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is to be conse- 
 crated to the uses of that worship, and to instruction 
 in the Heavenly Doctrines of the New Jerusalem. 
 This altar, this pulpit, these seats, and all things be- 
 longing to this house, are to be consecrated to the 
 uses of religious worship and instruction. 
 
 The Doctrines of the New Jerusalem have been 
 revealed from the Lord out of heaven. In this house 
 we desire to be instructed in these Heavenly Doc- 
 trines. Here may we, and our children, and our 
 children's children, and whosoever will, come and 
 drink of the waters of life. Here may we receive the 
 Bread that cometh down from heaven, and giveth life 
 unto the world. Here may the tabernacle of God be 
 with men, and may he dwell with them, and they be 
 his people, and God himself be with them, and be 
 their God. 
 
 Here we place the Sacred Scriptures. And when 
 the ministers of the Lord here endeavor to expound 
 these Scriptures, and perform the other duties of their 
 office, may they remember that they stand in his pre- 
 sence, and that they are his ambassadors and repre- 
 sentatives. May they know and acknowledge him, 
 and act under his guidance and influence. May their 
 understandings be opened, so that they may see, and 
 be enabled to show, in all the Scriptures, things con- 
 cerning him. 
 
 And when the Lord's people draw near in spirit 
 unto him in this place, when they hold communion 
 with him in prayer, when they express their affections 
 in songs of praise, and thanksgiving, and glorification, 
 and when they read and listen to his holy Word, ma) 
 the influences of the Lord's grace, mercy, and peace 
 be given unto them in rich abundance. 
 
 When the ordinance of Baptism is administered 
 here, may those who receive it be afterward baptized 
 with the Holy Spirit and with fire. 
 
144 DEDICATION. 
 
 When the table of the Lord is spread in this house, 
 may his children come to this holy ordinance in faith 
 and charity : may they eat and drink worthily, and 
 thus receive truly human life from him. 
 
 And whenever the worshipers of the Lord shall 
 come up to this house, to perform any of the duties 
 that are enjoined upon them in the Sacred Scriptures 
 and the Doctrines of the New Jerusalem, may they 
 have grace given them to worship him in spirit and in 
 truth ; and, coming before him with clean hands and 
 a pure heart, may the services which they shall per- 
 form here be always acceptable to him. And may 
 the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be always with 
 them. Amen. 
 
 Then the New Jerusalem Service may be used, or a Selection or Hymn may 
 be sung, all standing. 
 
 THE SERMON. 
 An Anthem, Selection, or Hymn may be song 
 
 BENEDICTION. 
 
 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you 
 all. Amen. 
 
INSTITUTION OF SOCIETIES. 
 
 [When receivers of the Heavenly Doctrines desire to come into 
 the form of a Society of the Lord's New Church, it is desirable 
 that this be done after some orderly manner, that will conduce to 
 the end for which brethren should be thus associated ; namely, the 
 more full acknowledgment and worship of the Lord, and the per- 
 formance of the uses of mutual charity. The following order of 
 exercises for such an occasion may be used. 
 
 If any of those who are to constitute the Society, have not pre- 
 viously "been introduced into the New Church by baptism, and have 
 not made an acknowledgment of their faith in the doctrines, and of 
 their desire and intention to live according to them, this should be 
 done before proceeding with the services.] 
 
 The Minister may commence the service by reading one or more of the fol 
 lowing passages: 
 
 I was glad when they said unto me, 
 Let us go into the house of Jehovah. 
 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem : 
 Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together. 
 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Jah, 
 A testimony to Israel, 
 To give thanks to the name of Jehovah. 
 For there are set thrones of judgment, 
 The thrones of the house of David. 
 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem : 
 They shall prosper that love thee. 
 Peace be within thy walls, 
 Prosperity within thy palaces. 
 For my brethren and companions' sakes, 
 1 will now say, Peace be within thee. 
 For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God, 
 T will seek good to thee. — Ps. cxxii. 
 13 
 
14tf INSTITUTION OF SOCIETIES 
 
 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is, 
 For brethren to dwell together in unity. 
 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, 
 That ran down upon the beard, Aaron's beard, 
 That went down to the skirts of his garments : 
 Like the dew of Hermon, 
 That descended upon the mountains of Zion: 
 For there Jehovah commanded the blessing, 
 Life forevermore. — Ps. cxxxiii. 
 
 If thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and 
 tell him his fault between thee and him alone : if he 
 shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. But if 
 he will not hear, take with thee one or two more, that 
 in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word 
 may be established. And if he shall neglect to hear 
 them, tell it unto the church : but if he neglect to 
 hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen 
 man and a publican. Verily I say unto you, What- 
 soever ye shall bind on earth, shall be bound in hea- 
 ven ; and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth, shall be 
 loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two 
 of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing 
 that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my 
 Father who is in heaven : for where two or three are 
 gathered together in my name, there am I in the 
 midst of them. — Mat. xviii. 15 - 20. 
 
 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye 
 love one another ; as I have loved you, that ye also 
 love one another. By this shall all know that ye are 
 my disciples, if ye have love one to another. — John 
 xiii. 34, 35. 
 
 These things I command you, that ye love one an- 
 other. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated 
 me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the 
 world would love its own : but because ye are not of 
 the world, but 1 have chosen you out of the world, 
 therefore the world hateth you. — John xv. 17-19. 
 
INSTITUTION OF SOCIETIES. 147 
 
 Then the Minister may read the following 
 
 ADDRESS. 
 
 We are not required to form ourse ves into socie- 
 ties, or churches, because such a requirement is not 
 necessary. It is not necessary that we should be re- 
 quired to do things which we love to do, but things 
 which we do not love to do, and at the same time 
 need to do. It is true that while we are in a natural 
 state of mind, we have no disposition to form our- 
 selves into churches, and to perform the duties of 
 members ; and it is equally true, that while we are 
 in that state, we ought not to form ourselves into 
 churches. But we are required to do things which 
 will bring us into a suitable state — which will bring 
 us out of a natural state into a spiritual one ; that is, 
 out of a state in which natural loves rule, into one in 
 which spiritual loves rule. We are required to ab- 
 stain from evils, because they are sins against God : 
 and as far as we conform to this requirement, so far 
 the love of doing evils will be overcome, together 
 with the love of self and the world, in which all evil 
 ail'ections originate ; and as far as these evil loves are 
 overcome and removed, so far will good loves flow in, 
 and will prevail in us : as the powei of love to self 
 and to the world diminishes, the power of love to the 
 Lord and love to the neighbor increases. 
 
 Now the spiritual labors by which we resist evil 
 loves, are what is denoted by the ordinance of Bap- 
 tism ; and the reception and exercise of the good 
 loves which flow in after evil loves are overcome, are 
 what is denoted by the Holy Supper. Hence we may 
 see why it was, at the time when he was instituting 
 this ordinance, that the Lord announced to his dis- 
 ciples that he gave them a new commandment, which 
 was, that they should love one another. 
 
 When we come under this new commandment, or 
 become filled with this new love, we shall be churches 
 
148 INSTITUTION OF SOCIETIES. 
 
 in the least form ; and the same principle will lead us 
 to do good unto others, to unite with them, and thus 
 to become churches in a larger form. We shall regard 
 those who have affections similar to ours, as our near- 
 est relatives. We shall constantly remember that 
 their good affections, and our good affections, flow 
 down from the same source — from the Fountain of 
 our spiritual life — from our Father who is in the 
 heavens : we shall consequently be sensible that we 
 are brethren ; and we shall perceive how good and 
 how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in 
 unity. 
 
 It is good, and it is pleasant. It gratifies our new 
 wills and our new understandings. It is in the high- 
 est degree both useful and agreeable. Hence we find, 
 in the revelations which have been made to the New 
 Church concerning the spiritual world, that heaven 
 consists of innumerable societies, that the angels are 
 adapted to one another by their various capacities, and 
 are united by loving and doing good to one another. 
 
 The Lord has provided that these same principles 
 may be implanted in us while we live in this world; 
 and as soon as they are implanted, they will lead us 
 to begin to act in a similar manner. They will make 
 us love one another, and make us desire to live toge- 
 ther, and act together. 
 
 The uses of living in this manner are various, and 
 in the highest degree important. It gives us spiritual 
 freedom. It gives us an opportunity to bring forth 
 all the genuine New Church affections and thoughts 
 that are conceived within us. It places us in circum- 
 stances that are most favorable for obedience to the 
 new commandment ; for love to one another is in its 
 most active and delightful state, it enjoys and rejoices 
 most, and it appears in its truest forms, and puts on 
 its most beautiful ornaments, when it meets with 
 those who act upon the same principle, when it can 
 see the likeness of its heavenly Father in those who 
 are around it, so that when it is doing good unto them, 
 it can perceive that it is doing good unto Him. When 
 we do ourselves act from love to one another, and are 
 
INSTITUTION OF SOCIETIES. 149 
 
 associated with those who act from similar love, then 
 we can bear one another's burdens, can protect one 
 another from evil, can aid one another in seeing and 
 removing the evils which still adhere to us, and can 
 receive, welcome, and cherish the good things which 
 come down from heaven, when the way is thus pre- 
 pared. 
 
 When we are united in this manner, we are a soci- 
 ety of the church, and can perform the uses of a church 
 in the world. It is our duty to provide for having 
 the ordinances administered in a proper manner. It 
 is our duty to have social worship ; to unite in prayer, 
 iu thanksgiving, and in praise ; to magnify the Lord, 
 and to exalt his name together : for it is the duty of 
 us all ; and in doing it together, we aid one another, 
 and unite love to the Lord with love to the neighbor. 
 It is our duty to receive spiritual instruction together; 
 for brotherly love is the feeling into which spiritual 
 truth can be received, and brotherly life is the form 
 in which it is brought into effect. When we are 
 united by this feeling, we cooperate, and aid one an- 
 other in receiving the truth, and in practising it. 
 
 And while we are thus earnestly engaged in per- 
 forming our own duties, we shall be doing the great- 
 est possible service to our children, and to those who 
 are looking to us for spiritual instruction ; for we 
 shall then be giving that instruction in the most intel- 
 ligible, the most attractive, and the most effective 
 manner. We give it, not as a curious subject of spe- 
 culation, of criticism, and debate ; but we present it 
 in a living form, as it is when doing its work. In this 
 case, it is attended by a sanctity that affects the 
 hearts, and a power that carries it into the lives, of 
 all who are prepared to receive it. The instruction 
 which is given in this manner, comes down like the 
 holy oil and the heavenly dew ; it has a vivifying and 
 saving influence, wherever it goes : for in it the Lord 
 conveys his blessing, life fore verm ore. 
 
 13* 
 
150 INSTITUTION OF SOCIETIES. 
 
 Those who are to constitute the Society, sitting conveniently together, 
 should rise as their names are here read by the Minister; who may then 
 address them as follows : 
 
 Min. — You have been introduced into the New 
 Church by baptism ; you have declared your faith in 
 the Heavenly Doctrines of the New Jerusalem, and 
 your desire and intention to live according to them : 
 Do you now wish to become united into a society for 
 that purpose ? 
 
 Answer. — We do. 
 
 Min. — You are therefore hereby acknowledged as 
 a regularly instituted society, under the name of 
 . ; and are commended to the fel- 
 lowship of all other societies of the New Jerusalem. 
 
 They should then sign their names to the Articles of Charity and Faith, or 
 Doctrines of the New Church, in a book provided for that purpose; after 
 which the Holy Supper may be administered. 
 
ADMISSION OF MEMBERS INTO 
 SOCIETIES. 
 
 The candidates should rise as their names are called by the Minister; and 
 then he should ask them the following question: 
 
 M.in. — You have been introduced into the New 
 Church by baptism ; you have also declared your faith 
 in the Heavenly Doctrines of the New Jerusalem, and 
 your desire to live according to them : Do you now 
 desire to become members of this Society for that 
 purpose ? 
 
 Answer. — I do. 
 
 Then the Society should rise, and the Minister should take the candidate* 
 by the hand, and address them as follows : 
 
 Min. — We therefore freely receive you into our 
 communion ; we acknowledge you as members of this 
 Society, and as having a right to all the privileges 
 which we enjoy. 
 
 They should then sign their names to the Articles of Charity and Faith, or 
 the Doctrines of the New Church, in the book of the Society. 
 
INSTITUTION OF ASSOCIATIONS. 
 
 [When several Societies in the New Church desire to come into 
 the form of an Association, the following order of services may 
 be used.] 
 
 The delegates or representatives of the Societies which are to constitute the 
 Association being seated near each other, the Minister may read the pas- 
 sages and address in the order of services for the Institution of Societies, 
 and then proceed as follows : 
 
 And as individuals become more useful to one an- 
 other, and to the world, by being formed into Socie- 
 ties ; so Societies become more useful to one another, 
 and to the world, by being formed into Associations. 
 As all the parts of the body are different, and as all 
 these differences qualify the parts to perform different 
 uses, and make the whole a complete system of uses ; 
 so it is with individuals and societies. Every part 
 does, either directly or indirectly, contribute to the 
 welfare of the whole ; and the whole does, either di- 
 rectly or indirectly, contribute to the welfare of every 
 part. The Lord himself loves the whole, and all the 
 parts ; and he is continually endeavoring to do good 
 unto them : so, as they become recipients of his love, 
 they learn to love one another, and to do good to one 
 another. 
 
 Here the delegates will rise, as the Minister reads their names; when he 
 shall address them as follows: 
 
 Min. — Do you now, as the representatives of 
 
 Societies in the New Jerusalem, 
 speaking and acting in their behalf, wish to be united 
 
INSTITUTION OF ASSOCIATIONS. 153 
 
 into an Association, as a means of enabling you 
 more fully to perform the uses of mutual charity ? 
 
 Answer. — We do. 
 
 Min. — You are therefore hereby acknowledged as 
 a regularly instituted Association, under the name of 
 ; and are commended to the fel- 
 lowship of all other Associations in the New Jerusa- 
 lem. 
 
 They snould then sign the Articles of Charity and Faith, or the Doctrinif 
 of the New Church, in a book provided for that purpose.

 These things saith the First and the Last, who was dead,

 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer. Be thou 
 faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. 
 
 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto 
 the churches. He that overcoineth shall not be hurt of the

 GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST. 
 
 And in the same country were shepherds abidir.g in the field, 
 keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of 
 the Lord came upon them ; and the glory of the Lord shone 
 round about them : and they were sore afraid. And the angel 
 said unto them, Fear not : for behold I bring you good tidings 
 of great joy, which shall be to all people : For unto you, in the 
 city of David, is born this day a Savior, who is Christ the 
 Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you : ye shall find the 
 Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And 
 suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly 
 host, praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest ; 
 and on earth peace ; among men good will.

CHANTING. 
 
 The Lord is Love and Wisdom, or Goodness and Truth; ar.d 
 the doctrines of the New Church teach that these two not only make 
 one in him, but are always found united in his Word. It is on this 
 account that in the Scriptures subjects so often occur in pairs ; and 
 it is for the same reason that in the Psalms the verses are generally 
 made up of two clauses or lines, composing a couplet, called by 
 scholars a parallelism. The same is the case in the Prophets, except 
 that the verses often contain two or more couplets. This feature in 
 the Scriptures is the origin of the common Chant. 
 
 A Chant is a short musical composition, consisting of two divi- 
 sions, for singing the two lines of a couplet or verse. The first note 
 of each division is called the chanting note : it has no time, but is 
 longer or shorter according to the number of words sung to it The 
 remainder of each division is called the cadence, and must be sung 
 in strict time. To the chanting note of the first division are sung 
 the words of the first line, except so many syllables as are necessary 
 to sing the notes of the cadence; and the second line is sung to the 
 second division in the same manner. This is the Single Chant. 
 A Double Chant consists of four divisions, and sings two verses. 
 Verses are sometimes found having three lines, as in Sel. 38, 
 ver. 7 - 10 ; Sel. 255 : these require a Chant of three divisions, called 
 a Ternary Chant. 
 
 In this work, the words are marked for application to the music, 
 measure for measure. The lines are divided by perpendicular 
 dashes, which correspond to the bars of the music. The words, 
 therefore, whk h precede the first dash, are to be sung to the chanting 
 note ; and the words or syllables between the dashes, and after the 
 last dash, are to be sung to corresponding measures of the cadence. 
 
 The simplest form of division is where the accents of the words 
 admit of giving one syllable to each note of the cadence; as in 
 Sel. 59, verse 1. But the accents of the words often render it 
 necessary to leave but one syllable in a measure, or to -put three into 
 a measure, or to give two to the last note : and all these may be 
 found in the same line; as in Sel. 217, ver. 2, line 2. 
 
 When one syllable fills a measure, it is to be sung to all the notes 
 of that measure; as in Sel. 59, ver. 5, line 2. When three syllables 
 are found in a measure, the middle of the measure is indicated by a 
 dot; and the two syllables which fall on either side of the dot are to 
 be sung as two quarter-motes; SeL 59. ver. 4 and 5. There are 
 two classes of cases in which the dot is dispensed with. First, when 
 any mart of punctuation falls among the three syllables, it serves the 
 purpose of the dot; as in SeL 59, \rr. 8, line 2: unless it be con- 
 tradicted by a dot, as in Sel. 195, ver. 8, line 2. Secondly, when 
 two of the three syllables belong to the same word, the space between 
 
CHANTING 245 
 
 the words divides the measure; as in Sel. 59, ver. 2, line 2; also 
 Sel. 92, ver. 3, line 2 : unless contradicted by a dot, as in Sel. 59, 
 ver. 4, line 2, and ver. 5, line 1. When two syllables are given to 
 the last note of the chant, they are to be sung as two half-notes. 
 
 A small figure \ a , 3 , or 4 , placed before a line, as in Sel. 58, 
 Ter. 9 and 10, indicates that that line is to be sung to the first, 
 second, third, or fourth division of the chant. 
 
 Words ending in <</, in which by common usage the ed is not 
 pronounced as a distinct syllable, as bowed, cried, hoped, nursed, &c, 
 aiv sometimes found in situations in which the chanting will be 
 facilitated by making the cd a separate syllable; as in Sel. 217, 
 ver. 6, line 2 ; Sel. 6, ver. 2, line 2. 
 
 In singing the words to the chanting note, the utterance, 'pronun- 
 ciation, accent, emphasis, inflection, pauses, and expression, should 
 be the same as when reading very deliberately to an audience, only 
 more marked. In reading or speaking, unimportant, unemphatic, 
 and unaccented words and syllables occupy much less time, and 
 are uttered with much less force, than important, emphatic, and 
 accented ones ; and in singing the words to the chanting note, the 
 same relative time, and force of utterance, should not only be care- 
 fully maintained, but the force and time of accented and emphatic 
 words and syllables should be increased, and the unaccented and 
 unimportant should be passed over lightly. 
 
 This rule for singing the words to the chanting note ceases when 
 we come to the cadence; for the cadence must always " be given 
 in correct time, the beat of which can be felt." Still, however, as 
 much of the expression and emphasis of good reading or speaking 
 should be given to the words of the cadence, as is consistent with 
 correct time. 
 
 If there be a, passing note in the chanting measure, (Chts. 26, 60, 
 166,) the last syllable before the dash is sung to it, if it be an 
 unaccented syllable ; but if accented or important, it should be 
 commenced on the chanting note, and then pass to the quarter note, 
 as in Sel. 61, ver. 1, line 1, and ver. 5, line 1. To do this properly 
 and readily requires practice and careful attention. 
 
 Some of the most simple Selections for applying these rules are 
 Sel. 16, 27, 34, 59, 91, 125, 197, 259. 
 
 The words which we chant are taken from the Word of the Lord, 
 who is himself the Word. Singing is the expression of affection , 
 and the object in chanting is first to feel, and then to express the 
 proper affection which belongs to the words. In chanting portions 
 of the Word, therefore, the more we love it, and the more fully we 
 are filled with the sense and feeling of its divinity, and of the Lord 
 as flowing into us through it ; the more fully shall we be able to 
 express these affections, and to heighten them in ourselves and 
 others ; and the better shall we chant. 
 
 Those Chants which consist of six measures, from Chant 218 to 
 Chant 248 inclusive, are composed on the basis of the ancient eccle« 
 siaatical modes.

 RESPONSIVE SELECTIONS. 
 
 These are additional to the Responsive Selections on pages 34 to 38 of the 
 Order of Worship, and may be used at any time. The Minister should read 
 the first line of each verse, and the people may either read or sing the second 
 line. When a verse has three lines, if read, the Minister and people may 
 read the third line together; but, if sung, the people may sing the second 
 and third lines.

 "We have a strong city 205 
 
 We have thought of thy kindness, O God 62 
 
 What shall I render to "Jehovah, for all his benefits 147 
 
 When Israel went out of Egypt 106 
 
 When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance 252 
 
 Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated 220 
 
 Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way 128 
 
 Wherewith shall I come before Jehovah 173 
 
 Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves 218 
 
 Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand 244 
 
 Who is a God like to thee, that pardoneth iniquity 229 
 
 Withhold thou not thy mercy from me, O Jehovah 53 
 
 Yea, all kings shall bow down to him 78 
 
 Yet now hear, O Jacob, my servant 234

 With praises to his courts repair ; 
 And make it your divine employ, 
 
 To pay your thanks and honors there.

 Ye nations, worship and adore : 
 Know that the Lord is God alone ; 
 He can create, and he restore.

 And make its varied fruits abound: 
 He bids the clouds, with plenteous rain, 
 Refresh the thirsty earth again.

 And all our near escapes from death : 
 Safety and health to God belong ;

 Who pours his blessings from the skies, 
 And every needful gift supplies.

 For his mercy endureth forever.

 The Fountain of eternal love ; 
 Whose mercy, firm, through ages past, 
 Hath stood, and shall for ever last. 
 
 2 Who can recount His wondrous deeds, 
 Whose greatness all our thought exceeds? 
 What mortal eloquence can raise 
 
 A tribute equal to his praise ?

 Who from his precepts never stray ; 
 Who know what 's right, nor only so, 
 But always practise what they know.

 Let every tongue pronounce his praise.

 HYMN 9. C. P. M. 
 
 Let every thing- that hath breath praise Jah. 
 
 1 Begin, my soul, the exalted lay; 
 Let each enraptured thought obey, 
 
 And praise the Almighty's name : 
 Lo, heaven, and earth, and seas, and skies, 
 In one melodious concert rise, 
 
 To swell the inspiring theme. 
 
 2 Thou heaven of heavens, his vast abode, 
 Ye clouds, proclaim your maker, God ; 
 
 Ye thunders, speak his power : 
 Lo, on the lightning's fiery wing, 
 In triumph, walks the eternal King ; 
 
 The astonished worlds adore. 
 
 3 Ye deeps, with roaring billows rise, 
 To join the thunders of the skies ; 
 
 Praise him who bids you roll : 
 His praise in softer notes declare, 
 Each whispering breeze of yielding air, 
 
 And breathe it to the soul. 
 
 4 Wake, all ye soaring throngs, and sing ; 
 Ye feathered warblers of the spring, 
 
 Harmonious anthems raise 
 To him, who shaped your liner mould, 
 Who tipped your glittering wings with gold, 
 
 And tuned your voice to praise. 
 
 5 Let man, by nobler passions swayed, 
 Let man, in God's own image made, 
 
 His breath in praise employ ; 
 Spread wide his Maker's name around, 
 Till heaven shall echo back the sound, 
 
 In songs of holy joy. 
 
 HYMN 10. L. M. 
 
 The heavens declare the glory of God, 
 
 And the firmament showuth the work of his hands. 
 
 1 The spacious firmament on high, 
 With all the blue ethereal sky, 
 
10 CONFIDENCE IN THE LORD. 
 
 And spangled heavens, a shining frame, 
 Their great Original proclaim. 
 
 2 The unwearied sun, from day tc day, 
 Does his Creator's power display, 
 And publishes to every land 
 
 The work of an almighty hand. 
 
 3 Soon as the evening shades prevail, 
 The moon takes up the wondrous tale, 
 And nightly, to the listening earth, 
 Repeats the story of her birth. 
 
 4 While all the stars that round her burn, 
 And all the planets in their turn, 
 Confirm the tidings, as they roll, 
 
 And spread the truth from pole to pole. 
 
 5 What though, in solemn silence, all 
 Move round this dark terrestrial ball ? 
 What though no real voice, nor sound, 
 Amid their radiant orbs be found ? 
 
 6 In reason's ear they all rejoice, 
 And utter forth a glorious voice ; 
 For ever singing, as they shine, 
 
 " The hand that made us is divine." 
 
 HYMN 11. L. M. 
 
 His name shall endure forever : 
 
 His name shall be continued as long as the sun.

 Let the Creator's praise arise : 
 
 Let the Redeemer's name be sung, 
 Through every land, by every tongue. 
 
 2 Eternal are thy mercies, Lord ; 
 Eternal truth dwells in thy word : 
 
 Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore, 
 Till suns shall rise and set no more. 
 
 HYMN 12. L. M.

 God is our Refuge and Strength, 
 A very present help in trouble.

 When storms of sharp distress invade ; 
 
CONFIDENCE IN THE LORD. 
 
 Ere we can offer our complaints, 
 Behold him present with his aid. 
 
 2 Loud may the troubled ocean roar ; 
 
 In sacred peace our souls abide ; 
 While every nation, every shore, ^ 
 
 Trembles, and dreads the swelling tide. 
 
 3 There is a stream, whose gentle flow 
 
 Supplies the city of our God : 
 Life, love, and joy still gliding through, 
 . And watering our divine abode. 
 
 4 That sacred stream, thine holy Word, 
 
 Supports our faith, our fear controls : 
 Sweet peace thy promises afford, 
 
 And give new strength to fainting souls. 
 
 5 Zion enjoys her Savior's love, 
 
 Secure against a threatening hour ; 
 Nor can her firm foundation move, 
 
 Built on his truth, and armed with power. 
 
 HYMN 13. C. M. 
 
 Rest iii Jehovah, and wait patiently for him. 
 
 1 God moves in a mysterious way 
 
 His wonders to perform ; 
 He plants his footsteps on the sea, 
 And rides upon the storm. 
 
 2 Deep in unfathomable mines 
 
 Of never-failing skill, 
 He treasures up his bright designs, 
 And works his gracious will. 
 
 3 Ye fearful souls, fresh courage take 
 
 The clouds you so much dread, 
 Are big with mercy, and shall break 
 In blessings on your head. 
 
 4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, 
 
 But trust his constant grace : 
 Behind a frowning providence 
 He hides a smiling face. 
 
 11 
 
 5 His purposes will ripen fast, 
 Unfolding every hour ; 
 
12 CONFIDENCE IN THE LORD. 
 
 The bud may have a bitter taste, 
 But sweet will be the flower. 
 
 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err, 
 And scan his work in vain : 
 God is his own interpreter, 
 And he will make it plain. 
 
 HYMN 14. C. M. 
 
 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generation*. 
 
 1 O Lord, our help in ages past, 
 
 Our hope for years to come ; 
 Our shelter from the stormy blast, 
 And our eternal home : 
 
 2 Beneath the shadow of thy throne, 
 
 Thy people dwell secure ; 
 Sufficient is thine arm alone, 
 And our defence is sure. 
 
 3 Before the hills in order stood, 
 
 Or earth received her frame, 
 From everlasting thou art God, 
 To endless years the same. 
 
 4 O Lord, our help in ages past, 
 
 Our hope for years to come, 
 Be thou our guard, while troubles last, 
 And our eternal home. 
 
 HYMN 15. C. M. 
 
 God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever. 
 
 1 God, my supporter, and my hope, 
 
 My help forever near, 
 Thine arm of mercy held me up, 
 When sinking in despair. 
 
 2 Thy counsels, Lord, shall guide my feet, 
 
 Through this dark wilderness ; 
 Thine hand conduct me near thy seat, 
 To dwell before thy face. 
 
 8 Then to draw near to thee, my God, 
 Shall be my sweet employ ; 
 My tongue shall sound thy works abroad, 
 And tell the world my joy. 
 
CONFIDENCE IN THE LORD. 13 
 
 HYMN 16. S. M. 
 
 Jehovah is my Shepherd, I shall not want 
 
 1 The Lord my Shepherd is ; 
 
 I shall be well supplied : 
 Since he is mine, and I am his, 
 What can I want beside ? 
 
 2 He leads me to the place 
 
 Where heavenly pasture grows, 
 Where living waters gently pass, 
 And full salvation flows. 
 
 3 If e'er I go astray, 
 
 He doth my soul reclaim, 
 And guides me, in his own right way, 
 For his most holy name. 
 
 4 While he affords his aid, 
 
 I cannot yield to fear ; 
 Though I should walk through death's dark shade, 
 My Shepherd 's with me there. 
 
 HYMN 17. L. M. 6 lines. 
 
 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures : 
 He leadeth me beside the still waters. 
 
 1 The Lord my pasture shall prepare, 
 And feed me with a Shepherd's care ; 
 His presence shall my wants supply, 
 And guard me with a watchful eye : 
 My noon-day walks he shall attend, 
 And all my midnight hours defend. 
 
 2 When in the sultry glebe I faint, 
 Or on the thirsty mountain pant, 
 To fertile vales, and dewy meads 
 My weary, wandering steps he leads ; 
 Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, 
 Amid the verdant landscape flow. 
 
 8 Though in the paths of death I tread, 
 With gloomy horrors overspread, 
 My steadfast heart shall fear no ill, 
 For thou, Lord, art with me still : 
 Thy friendly rod shall give me aid, 
 And guide me through the dreadful shade.

 I will extol thee, my God, O King ; 
 
 And I will bless thy name for ever ant ever. 
 
 1 Sweet is the memory of thy grace, 
 
 My God, my heavenly King ; 
 Let age to age thy righteousness 
 In songs of glory sing. 
 
 2 God reigns on high, but ne'er confines 
 
 His goodness to the skies ; 
 Through all the earth his bounty shines 
 And every want supplies. 
 
 3 How kind are thy compassions, Lord ! 
 
 How slow thine anger moves ! 
 How soon he sends his pardoning word, 
 To cheer the souls he loves. 
 
 4 Sweet is the memory of thy grace, 
 
 My God, my heavenly King ; 
 Let age to age thy righteousness 
 In songs of glory sing. 
 
 HYMN 19. S. M. 
 
 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever : 
 I will trust in the covert of thy wings. 
 
 1 When, overwhelmed with grief, 
 
 My heart within me dies, 
 Helpless, and far from all relief, 
 To heaven I lift mine eyes. 
 
 2 lead me to the Rock 
 
 That 's high above my head ;

 My shelter and my shade.

 The refuge where I hide. 
 
 HYMN 20. S. M. 
 
 As far as the east is from the west, 
 
 ^o far hath He removed our transgressions from i 
 
 1 My soul, repeat his praise, 
 
 Whose mercies are so great ; 
 
CONFIDENCE IN THE LORD. 15 
 
 Whose anger is so slow to rise, 
 So ready to abate. 
 
 2 His grace subdues our sins, 
 
 And his forgiving love, 
 Far as the east is from the west, 
 Doth all our guilt remove. 
 
 3 High as the heavens are raised 
 
 Above the ground we tread, 
 So far the riches of his grace 
 Our highest thoughts exceed. 
 
 HYMN 21. C. M. 
 
 Whom have I in heaven but thee ? 
 
 And there is none on earth that I desire beside thee. 
 
 1 "Whom have we, Lord, in heaven but thee, 
 
 And whom on earth beside? 
 Where else for succor can we flee, 
 Or in whose strength confide ? 
 
 2 Thou art our portion here below, 
 
 Our promised bliss above ; 
 Ne'er may our souls an object know 
 So precious as thy love. 
 
 3 Thou, Lord, wilt be our guide through life, 
 
 And help and strength supply ; 
 Sustain us in death's fearful strife, 
 And welcome us on high. 
 
 HYMN 22. S. M. 
 
 They that trust in Jehovah shall be as Mount Zinn, 
 Which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever. 
 
 1 Firm and unmoved are they, 
 
 Who rest their souls on God ; 
 Firm as the mount where David dwelt? 
 Or where the ark abode. 
 
 2 As mountains stood to guard 
 
 The city's sacred ground. 
 So God, and his upholding love 
 Embrace his people round.

 Whose faith and holy fear, 
 Whose hope, and trust, and life of love,

 HYMN 23. S. M. 
 
 Return unto thy rest, O my soul : 
 
 For Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee. 
 
 1 O cease, my wandering soul, 
 
 On restless wing to roam ; 
 All this wide world, to either pole, 
 Has not for thee a home. 
 
 2 Behold the ark of God ; . 
 
 Behold the open door : 
 0, haste to gain that dear abode, 
 And rove, my soul, no more. 
 
 8 There, safe thou shalt abide, 
 
 There, sweet shall be thy rest, 
 And every longing satisfied, 
 With full salvation blest. 
 
 HYMN 24. C. M. 
 
 INCARNATION OF THE LORD. 
 
 And they sang as it were a new song before the throne : 
 
 And no one could learn that song, but those who were redeemed from the earth. 
 
 1 Father, how wide thy glory shines ! 
 
 How high thy wonders rise ! 
 Known through the earth by myriad signs, 
 By myriads through the skies. 
 
 2 But when we view thy vast design, 
 
 To save our fallen race ; 
 Where wisdom, love, and power combine 
 Thy justice and thy grace: 
 
 3 Our thoughts are lost in sacred awe ; 
 
 We wonder and adore : 
 
 The highest angels never saw 
 
 So much of God before. 
 
 4 O may I bear some humble part, 
 
 In that immortal song : 
 Wonder and joy shall tune my heart, 
 And love command my tongue. 
 
INCARNATION OF THE LORD. 17 
 
 HYMN 25. C. M. 
 
 Jehovah is my strength, and my song; 
 And he is become my salvation. 
 
 1 Hark, the glad sound ; Jehovah cornea, 
 
 The Savior promised long : 
 Let every heart prepare a throne, 
 And every voice a song. 
 
 2 He comes, the prisoners to release, 
 
 In Satan's bondage held : 
 The gates of brass before him burst, 
 The iron fetters yield. 
 
 3 He comes, the broken heart to bind, 
 
 The wounded soul to cure ; 
 And with the treasures of his love 
 Xo bless the humble poor. 
 
 4 Our glad hosannas, Prince of peace, 
 
 Thy welcome shall proclaim ; 
 And heaven's eternal arches ring 
 With thy beloved name. 
 
 HYMN 26. C. M. 
 
 Glory to God Li the highest; and on earth peace ; good will toward mea. 
 
 1 Mortals, awake, with angels join, 
 
 And chant the solemn lay ; 
 
 Joy, love, and gratitude, combine 
 
 To hail the auspicious day. 
 
 2 In heaven the rapturous song began ; 
 
 And sweet seraphic fire 
 Through all the shining legions ran, 
 And strung, and tuned the lyre. 
 
 3 Swift through the vast expanse it flew, 
 
 And loud the echo rolled ; 
 The theme, the song, the joy was new, 
 'Twas more than heaven could hold. 
 
 4 Down through the portals of the sky 
 
 The impetuous torrent ran ; 
 And angels flew, with eager joy, 
 To bear the news to man. 
 
18 INCARNATION OF THE LORD. 
 
 5 Hark ! the. angelic armies shout ; 
 " Glory to God " they sing : 
 With " Peace on earth, good will to men," 
 The heavenly arches ring. 
 
 HYMN 27. C. M. 
 
 He bowed the heavens also and came down ; 
 And darkness was under his fbet. 
 
 1 The Lord descended from above, 
 
 And bowed the heavens most high ; 
 And underneath his feet he cast 
 The darkness of the sky. 
 
 2 He sat serene upon the floods, 
 
 Their fury to restrain ; 
 And he, as sovereign Lord and King, 
 For evermore shall reign. 
 
 HYMN 28. C. M. 
 
 Salvation belongeth to Jehovah : 
 Thy blessing is upon thy people. 
 
 1 Salvation ! O, the joyful sound ! 
 
 'Tis pleasure to our ears ; 
 A sovereign balm for every wound,

 Where saints immortal reign ; 
 Eternal day excludes the night,

 Death, like a narrow sea, divides 
 That heavenly land from ours.

 Stand drest in living green ; 
 So to the Jews their Canaan stood, 
 While Jordan rolled between.

 To cross this narrow sea ; 
 And linger, shivering on the brink ; 
 And fear to launch away.

 And view the landscape o'er, 
 Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood, 
 Should fright us from the shore.

 And met, Lord Jesus, in thy name, 
 So in thy name we part. 
 
 2 Nearer to Thee our spirits lead, 
 
 And still thy love bestow, 
 Till Thou hast made us free indeed, 
 And spotless, here below. 
 
 8 When to the right or left we stray. 
 Leave us not comfortless, 
 But guide our feet into the way 
 Of everlasting peace. 
 
 HYMN 103. L. M. 
 
 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 
 
 1 Ebe to the world again we go, 
 Its pleasures, cares, and idle show, 
 
 Thy grace once more, O Lord, we crave, 
 From folly and from sin to save. 
 
 2 May the great truths we here have heard, 
 The lessons of thy holy Word, 
 
 Dwell in our inmost bosoms deep, 
 And all our souls from error keep. 
 
MISCELLANEOUS. 53 
 
 8 may the influence of this day 
 Long as our memory with us stay, 
 And as an angel guardian prove, 
 To guide us to our home above. 
 
 HYMN 104. L. M. 
 
 The sower BOWetb the Word. 
 
 1 Thou, at whose divine command 
 Good seed is sown in every land, 
 Thy Holy Spirit now impart, 
 
 And for thy Word prepare each heart. 
 
 2 Not 'mid the thorns of worldly thought, 
 Nor soon by passing plunderers caught, 
 Nor lacking depth the root to feed, 
 May we receive thy Spirit's seed. 
 
 8 But may it, where thy sowers toil, 
 Fall in a good and honest soil ; 
 And springing up from firmest root, 
 Through patience, bear abundant fruit 
 
 HYMN 105. L. M. 
 
 The kingdom of God is within you. 
 
 1 Heaven is a state of rest from sin ; 
 But all who hope to enter there, 
 Must here that course of life begin, 
 "Which shall their souls for heaven prepare. 
 
 2 Clean hearts, God, in us create ; 
 Right spirits, Lord, in us renew ; 
 Commence we now that higher state, 
 To do thy will as angels do. 
 
 8 In Jesus' footsteps may we tread, 
 Learn every lesson of his love ; 
 And by his grace and truth be led, 
 From life below to heaven above. 
 
 HYMN 106. 7's 
 
 Thou shah be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousuem 
 
 1 Lord, what offering shall we bring, 
 At thine altars when we bow ? 
 Hearts, the pure, unsullied spring, 
 Whence the kind affections flow: 
 5* 
 
64 MISCELLANEOUS. 
 
 2 Willing hands, to lead the blind, 
 Heal the wounded, feed the poor ; 
 Love, embracing all our kind ; 
 Charity, with liberal store. 
 
 8 Teach us, thou Heavenly King, 
 Thus to show our grateful mind, 
 Thus the accepted offering bring, 
 Love to Thee and all mankind. 
 
 HYMN 107. S. M. 
 
 ▲ new Commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another, 
 
 1 That blessed law of thine, 
 Father, to me impart — 
 
 The Spirit's law of life divine, 
 O write it in my heart. 
 
 2 Implant it deep within, 
 Whence it may ne'er remove— 
 
 The law of liberty from sin, 
 The perfect law of love. 
 
 8 Thy nature be my law, 
 Thy spotless sanctity ; 
 And nearer every moment draw 
 My trusting soul to Thee. 
 
 HYMN 108. C. M. 
 
 Give, and it shall be given unto you. 
 
 1 Pour forth the oil ; pour freely forth ; 
 
 It will not fail, until 
 Thou failest vessels to provide, 
 Which it may largely fill. 
 
 2 Make channels for the streams of love, 
 
 Where they may broadly run ; 
 And love has overllowing streams, 
 To fill them every one. 
 
 8 But if at any time we cease 
 Such channels to provide, 
 The very founts of love for us 
 Will soon be parched and dried. 
 
 4 For we must share, if we would keep 
 That blessing from above : 
 
MISCELLANEOUS. 55 
 
 Ceasing to give, we cease to have : 
 Such is the law of love. 
 
 HYMN 109. 7's. 
 
 Am ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them. 
 
 1 Thus said Jesus : " Go and do 
 As thou wouldst be done unto:" 
 Here thy perfect duty see, 
 
 All that God requires of thee. 
 
 2 "Wouldst thou, when thy faults are known, 
 Wish that pardon should be shown ? 
 
 Be forgiving, then, and do 
 As thou wouldst be done unto. 
 
 8 Shouldst thou helpless be and poor, 
 Wouldst thou not for aid implore ? 
 Think of others, then, and be 
 What thou wouldst they should to thee. 
 
 4 For compassion if thou call, 
 Be compassionate to all : 
 
 If thou wouldst affection find, 
 Be affectionate and kind. 
 
 5 If thou wouldst obtain the love 
 Of thy gracious Lord above, 
 Then to all His children be 
 
 What thou wouldst they should to thee. 
 
 HYMN 110. L. M. 
 
 The erass withereth, the flower fadeth : 
 
 But the Word of our God shall stand forever. 
 
 1 The morning flowers display their sweets, 
 
 And gay their silken leaves unfold, 
 As careless of the noontide heats, 
 As fearless of the evening cold. 
 
 2 Nipped by the wind's untimely blast, 
 
 Parched by the sun's directer ray, 
 The momentary glories waste, 
 
 The short-lived beauties die away. 
 
 8 So blooms the human face divine, 
 
 When youth its pride of beauty shows j 
 Fairer than spring the colors shine, 
 And sweeter than the opening rose. 
 
66 Ml>< ELLANEOUS. 
 
 4 But worn by slowly rolling years, 
 
 Or broke by sickness in a day, 
 The fading glory disappears, 
 
 The short-lived beauties die away. 
 
 5 But inward beauties pass the tomb : 
 
 With lustre brighter far they shine, 
 In human form, with youthful bloom, 
 Safe from diseases and decline. 
 
 6 Let sickness blast, let death devour, 
 
 If heavenly life support our pains : 
 
 Perish the grass, and fade the flower, 
 
 For firm the love of God remains. 
 
 HYMN 111. S. M. 
 
 And they heard a voice from heaven, saying unto them, Come up hither. 
 
 1 Come to the land of peace, 
 From shadows come away ; 
 
 Where all the sounds of weeping cease, 
 And storms no more have sway. 
 
 2 Fear hath no dwelling here ; 
 But pure repose and love 
 
 Breathe through the bright, celestial air 
 The spirit of the dove. 
 
 3 Come to the bright and blest, 
 Gathered from every land ; 
 
 Fcr here thy soul shall find its rest, 
 Amidst the shining band. 
 
 4 In this divine abode 
 
 Change leaves no saddening trace ; 
 Come, trusting spirit, to thy God, 
 Thy holy resting-place. 
 
 HYMN 112. S. M. 
 
 And the Spirit and the Kridc say, Come. 
 
 1 The Spirit in our hearts 
 
 Is whispering, " Wanderer, come." 
 The Bride, the church of Christ, proclaims 
 To all his children, " Come." 
 
 2 Let him that heareth say 
 To all about him, " Come." 
 
ELLANEOUS. 67 
 
 Let him that thirsts for righteousness, 
 To Christ, the fountain, come. 
 
 3 Yes, whosoever will, 
 O let him freely come, 
 
 And freely drink the stream of life ; 
 'Tis Jesus bids you come. 
 
 4 Lo, Jesus, who invites, 
 Declares, u I quickly come." 
 
 Lord, even so; I wait thine hour; 
 Jesus, my Savior, come. 
 
 HYMN 113. 7's. 
 
 He shall give His angels charge over thee. 
 
 1 They, who on the Lord rely, 
 Safely dwell, though danger 's nigh ; 
 Lo, His sheltering wings are spread 
 O'er each faithful servant's head. 
 
 2 Vain temptation's wily snare ; 
 They shall be their Father's care : 
 Harmless fiies the shaft by day, 
 Or in darkness wings its way. 
 
 3 When they wake, or when they sleep, 
 Angel guards their vigils keep : 
 Death and danger may be near ; 
 Faith and love can never fear. 
 
 HYMN 114. L. M. 
 
 Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion. 
 
 1 Triumphant Zion, lift thy head 
 From dust, and darkness, and the dead : 
 Though humbled long, awake at length, 
 And gird thee with thy Savior's strength. 
 
 2 Put all thy beauteous garments on, 
 And let thine excellence be known : 
 Decked in the robes of righteousness, 
 Thy glories shall the world confess. 
 
 8 No more shall foes unclean invade, 
 And fill thy hallowed walls with dread ; 
 No more shall sin's insulting host 
 Their victory and thy sorrows boast. 
 
58 MISCELLANE 
 
 4 The Lord on high has heard thy prayer; 
 His hand thy ruin shall repair; 
 Nor will thy watchful monarch cease 
 To giard thee in eternal peace. 
 
 HYMN 115. C. M. 
 
 Put on thy beautiful garmen s O Jerusalem, the holy city 
 
 1 Daughter of Zion, from the dust 
 
 Lift up thy fallen head: 
 Again in thy Redeemer trust ; 
 He calls thee from the dead. 
 
 2 Awake, awake, put on thy strength, 
 
 Thy beautiful array ; 
 The day of freedom dawns at length, 
 The Loud's appointed day. 
 
 3 Rebuild thy walls, thy bounds enlarge, 
 
 And send thy heralds forth ; 
 Say to the south, " Give up thy charge. 
 And keep not back, O north." 
 
 4 They come, they come : thine exiled bands, 
 
 Where'er they rest or roam, 
 Have heard thy voice in distant lands, 
 And hasten to their home. 
 
 HYMN 116. 7's. 
 
 Jkhovah shall keep thy going out and thy coming in. 
 
 1 Now the shades of night are gone ; 
 Now the morning light is come : 
 Lord, may we be thine to-day ; 
 Drive the shades of sin away. 
 
 2 Fill our souls with heavenly light; 
 Banish doubt, and clear our sight: 
 In thy service, Lord, to-day, 
 May we stand, and watch, and pray 
 
 8 Keep our evil passions bound; 
 Save us from our foes around; 
 Going out and coining in, 
 Keep us safe from every sin.
