of little trust, will God take less heed for thee than for the grass which to-day is, but to morrow is consumed ? Let food and clothing, then, be no care to thee, rather search after God and his providence : let tlie morrow care for itself, enough be the evil of to-day.

Pass no unjust judgment; for as ye judge, so shall ye be judged, and as ye measure, so shall it be meted back. Perceivest the mote in thy brother's eye, but dost not see it in thine own- O hypocrite, remove the mote from thine own eye, so shall thou see to cast it from thy brother's.

Ask, and it shall be given thee; seek, and thou shalt find; knock, and it shall be opened to thee. For wjio would give liis child, requiring bread, a stone ; or fish, a sei-pent ? If then being evil, bestowest what is good upon thy children, how much more will God bestow what is good on those who ask him ? Do unto others what thou wouldst they should do unto thee. Enter by the narrow gate, for narrow is the gate and straight the way that leadcth unto life, and few there be who find it.

Beware of false teachers who come to thee in guise of sheep, but inwardly are ravening wolves. Men do not gather grapes off thorns, or figs oil' thistles—-thou shalt know them by their fruits.

A sower came and sowed his seed. Some fell by the road side, and birds came and ate it up ; and some fell in rocky places where there was little soil, and it sprang up, but the sun came, and having no root it withered away; some also fell among thorns, which choked it; and some

into good soil, where it bore tliirty, and sixty, and one hundred fold. He that Imth ears to hear let him liear.

Not that which goeth into, but out of the moutli, soileth the man. For out of the mouth issue wicked thoughts, and slaughter, and unchasteness, and thefts, and false testimony, and all iniquity.

What shall it profit a man to gain the w^orld and lose his soul, or what shall he give in exchange for his soul ? Unless ye turn and become as children, ye cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. He who shall humble himself as a eliiid shall he greatest in the midst. Sutler little children, then, to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such are the kingdom of heaven.

There is none good but God ; keep the commands. Do not kill;
