THE WORKS OF THE LORD ARE GREAT, SOUGHT OUT OF ALL THEM THAT HAVE PLEASURE THEREIN.

HIS WORK IS HONOURABLE AND GLORIOUS : AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ENDURETH FOR EVER.

JUST, WHATSOEVER THINGS ARE PURE, WHATSOEVER THINGS ARE LOVELY, WHATSOEVER THINGS
ARE OF GOOD REPORT; IF THERE BE ANY VIRTUE, AND

IF

THERE BE ANY PRAISE, THINK
ON THESE THINGS.-PHILIPPIANS IV. 8.
