the command which followed the first and holiest celebration, "This do in remem brance of me." Your affectionate Father. LETTER VI. THE CHURCH SERVICE-THE LITURGY. My last letter, my dear boy, embraced a subject of the highest importance to the spiritual prosperity of your parish-in my opinion, the weightiest among the many obligations upon the minister of Christ. I have purposely made the exhortation to visit the sick precede that upon the public services of our Church, because the experience of twelve years has taught me that one hour's serious and affectionate admonition in private, especially when sickness has brought the Christian to reflection, has more effect than the discourses of a twelvemonth, how practical and plain soever they may be, delivered from the pulpit.
