LESSON.

Wisd. iii. 8.-The souls of the just are in the hand of God, and the torment of death shall not touch them. In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die; and their departure was taken for

misery; and their going away from us, for utter de struction: but they are in peace. And though in the sight of men they suffered torments, their hope is full of immortality. Afflicted in few things, in many they shall be well rewarded; because God hath tried them, and found them worthy of himself. As gold in the furnace he hath proved them, and as a victim of a holocaust he hath received them, and in time there shall be respect had to them. The just shall shine, and run to and fro, like sparks among the reeds. They shall judge nations, and rule over people, and their Lord shall reign for ever.

GRAD. Exod. xv.-God is glorious in his saints, wonderful in his Majesty, and miraculous in his works. V. Thy right hand, O Lord, is magnified in strength: thy right hand hath slain the enemy.

TRACT. Ps. cxxv.- Qui seminant in lacrymis, in exultatione metent. They who sow in tears shall reap in joy. V. Going they went and wept, and casting their seed. V. But coming they shall come with joy and fulness, carrying their sheaves.

GOSPEL. Luke xxi. 9. 19.-At that time: Jesus said to his disciples: When you shall hear of wars and seditions, be not terrified; these things must first come to pass, but the end is not yet presently. Then he said to them: Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there shall be great earthquakes in divers places, and pestilences, and famines, and terrors from heaven, and there shall be great signs. But before all these things they will lay their hands on you: and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and into pri
