Page 136 - Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him ; let him know that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
Page 3 - On daily visits through the air. He hangs in shades the orange bright, Like golden lamps in a green night ; And does in the pomegranate close Jewels more rich than Ormus shows. He makes the figs our mouths to meet, And throws the melons at our feet ; But apples plants of such a price, No tree could ever bear them twice. With cedars, chosen by his hand From Lebanon, he stores the land ; And makes the hollow seas that roar Proclaim the ambergris on shore.

Peace ! and no longer from its brazen portals The blast of War's great organ shakes the skies ! But beautiful as songs of the immortals, The holy melodies of love arise.
Page 2 - The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
Page 138 - Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which Is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
Page 68 - God of his great mercy to take unto himself the soul of our dear brother here departed, we therefore commit his body to the ground; earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust ; in sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life, through our Lord Jesus Christ ; who shall change our vile body, that it may be like unto his glorious body, according to the mighty working, •whereby he is able to subdue all things to himself.
Page 158 - Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few : pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
