before they are beyond the reach of mercy, where no place for repentance can be found, though they should seek it carefully with tears. Pluck them, as brands out of the burning, and save them from everlasting destruction. Bless our highly favored country. May it ever be the residence of freedom, peace, and happiness, and a safe retreat for the persecuted and oppressed. Make all who are in places of public trust faithful to the public interest. As thou hast made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hast determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; so bless, we pray thee, the whole family of man with knowledge, righteousness, and salvation.O thou God of mercies! we thank thee for the blessings we have enjoyed. Thou hast been to us a bountiful benefactor. We have been fed, and clothed, and sustained by thee. And we are under ten thousand obligations of gratitude to the Father of mercies. We praise thee, that thou didst keep us during the silent watches of the night, and hast lifted upon us the light of this new day in circumstances of comfort. Be with us during the day, and in all our earthly existence. Guide us in the path of duty and salvation. As our Lord has taught us, so we pray, Our Father, who art in heaven! hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for thine is the kingdom, aud the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Monday Evening.

Almighty God and most merciful Father! we adore thee as a being possessed of all possible perfections, excellence, and glory. Who is like unto thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders! We approach thee through Jesus Christ, who is Mediator between God and man. In the name of our great High Priest, who is passed into the heavens, we would come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace

to help in time of need.

-We thank thee, that thou

didst make man with such noble, powers of body and mind. There is a spirit in man; and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. But, we have to acknowledge the apostacy of the human race. The crown is fallen from our head; wo unto us that we have sinned. Our hearts by nature are deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked. O, wretched are we! who shall deliver us from the body of this death! Our flesh trembleth for fear of thee, and we are afraid of thy judgments. -Praised be thy name, that thou hast not cut us down as cumberers of thy ground, but that we have still a standing in thy vineyard. Thou art waiting to be gracious, and calling by the voice of providence and the glorious gospel, saying, Turn ye, turn ye, for why will ye die. O that we might obey thy calls, turn and live! Give us repentance towards God, and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ. May we possess the blessedness of that man, whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Enable us so to exercise ourselves as to have always a conscience void of offence towards God and towards man. -O Lord! Graciously regard those, who are in a state of impenitence. Teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall be converted unto thee. Quicken those, who are dead in trespasses and sins. Bless the aged. Support them in the decline of life, and let the evening of their days be tranquil and happy. Bestow thy blessing upon the middle aged, and the rising generation. May parents command their children and their households after them, that they may keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment. Comfort Zion, make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord, that joy and gladness may be found therein, thanksgiving and the voice of melody.- -Great Author

of our being and blessings! we thank thee for the favors, which thou hast been pleased to bestow upon us. From thine inexhaustible fulness, our daily wants have been supplied. We bless thee for the wonders of redeeming love, for the overtures of mercy, and for the day and means of grace. Make us wise unto eternal life. Help us to choose that good part, which shall never be taken away from us. We thank thee, O Lord! for the protection and blessings of another day and evening. We now commit ourselves, soul and body, into thy keeping for

this night. May thy holy angels encamp around our habitation and defend us. Bring us in safety to see another day, prepared for its duties and events. Guide, guard, and bless us in this state of trial, and at death receive us to mansions of glory, through the atonement and intercession of Jesus Christ. Now unto him that is able to keep us from falling, and to present us faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy; to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory, and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Tuesday Morning.

O thou high and lofty One, that inhabitest eternity, whose name is Holy! heaven is thy throne and earth is thy footstool, and all creatures and things are the workmanship of thy hands. But, praised be thy name, though thou art exalted as God over all, blessed forevermore; yet thou dost condescend to dwell with those, who are of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. In thine infinite condescension look down upon us, now prostrate before thee. We humbly confess all our iniquities and guilt. We have erred and strayed like lost sheep. When we have known our Master's will, we have not been careful to perform it, and therefore deserve to be beaten with many stripes. Have mercy upon us miserable sinners. Spare thou us, who confess our faults. Let us know the plague of our hearts, and see what evil dwells within us. Give us the deepest penitence for sin; for a broken heart, O God! thou wilt not despise. May we think on our ways, and turn unto the Lord, from whom we have so ungratefully revolted. Grant us an interest in Christ, whose blood cleanseth from all sin. We would go unto the glorious Saviour, who hath said, Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Enable us at all times to possess the temper of Christians, that we may manifest ourselves to be the disciples of the meek and lowly Jesus.- -O thou compassionate Father in heaven! be pleased to extend thy grace to the whole

family of man. Give thy Son the heathen for his inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for his possession. Say unto the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back; bring thy sons from afar, and thy daughters from the ends of the earth. Let the gospel be preached to every creature under heaven, and be effectual to their conversion and salvation. Give to the Ministers of the Gospel ardent zeal in their Divine Master's service, and eminent success in their high calling.We give thee thanks O Lord! for thy manifold goodness in redemption. We praise thee, for the news of eternal life, published in the gospel; that we are come not unto mount Sinai, that burned with fire, and threatens death; but unto mount Zion, which proclaims mercy to every penitent. We bless thee, too, for the bounties of thy daily providence. Surely goodness and mercy have followed us all our days. We render thee thanks for the mercies of the night past. We laid us down, and slept; we awaked, for thou Lord! hast sustained us. Go forth with us, we beseech thee, in the concerns of this day. Prosper us in our lawful undertakings. Guide us by thine unerring wisdom, all the days of our pilgrimage, and enable us at death to depart this life in the triumphs of a Christian hope. And when absent from the body may we be present with the Lord, and be permitted to celebrate forever the praises of redeeming love. All which we ask in the name, and through the mediation of Jesus Christ; to whom with the Father, and the Holy Spirit, be equal and everlasting honors. Amen.

Tuesday Evening.

Supremely great and ever glorious Lord our God! before thee angels veiling their faces, bow and worship. Permit us, who dwell on thy footstool, unworthy as we are, to approach thy sacred Majesty's presence, at this time through the atoning blood of Jesus. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High! to show forth thy loving kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night. Blessed be God, who hath preserved us in

our going out and coming in, the day past, and who daily loads us with benefits. We have been the recipients of the Divine bounty continually, and we would gratefully acknowledge the hand that has supplied us. Take care of us, O Lord! this night. Keep us as the apple of thine eye. Hide us under the shadow of thy wings. May we commune with our own hearts on our beds, and meditate upon thee in the night watches. Bring us to behold the light of another day, better prepared to serve thee, than ever yet we have been. Be with us in all subsequent life. As thou hast guarded and blessed us in infancy, in youth, and in riper years; so do thou continue to be our Guardian and Benefactor. While we rejoice, that thou hast given us birth and education in a land of gospel light and liberty, may we not abuse our exalted privileges and blessings.- -O Lord! we confess, that we have ill-requited thee for thy goodness. We have been disobedient children. We have violated thy precepts, and despised thy mercy. Our trespasses have reached unto the clouds, and cry aloud for vengeance to be executed upon our guilty heads. It is thine amazing, thine infinite forbearance, that keeps us out of hell. Look in mercy upon us, O God of mercy! Turn us, and we shall be turned; draw us with the cords of thy love, and we shall run after thee; mould us into thine image, and we shall be holy. Lift up the light of thy countenance upon us, and put gladness into our hearts. Ever may we act as accountable creatures, and faithfully discharge the duties of our several stations and relations in life. May we be dead to this world, and alive to God and divine things, and always live prepared for death, judgment, and eternity.-Bless the whole Christian Church. Purge it from corruptions, heal its divisions, and increase its numbers. Awake, O thou north wind! and come, thou south! and blow upon thy garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Look down from heaven, O God! and behold, and visit this vine, which, we trust thy right hand hath planted. Water it with the dew of heaven, and cause it to grow and flourish. Pour out thy Holy Spirit, and revive pure religion, and undefiled before God and the Father, in this place. Let converts to Jesus be multiplied, and let many be added to this Church, who shall finally be
