of man has already appeared upon the earth :

and ceremonies according to his faith.
PRAYER.
Great and dread Being, Father, who wast, when
beside thee there were time and space alone ; a sin-
gle thought of whom shaped itself into an universe
of suns and worlds, and infinite myriads upon myriads
of living creatures ; eternal as time and infinite as
space ; to whom all the past and all the future now
is and ever will be present; thou by whom no
creature that lives is forgotten or unregarded, look
with favor upon us and upon this our brother ;
deign
to bless liim, to protect him, and make his labors
fortunate ; watch over him ; illuminate his mind with
wisdom, that he may understand our symbols ;
teach him to trust in thee. Amen
!
