J. A. Heraud.

To Thee, who dying, conquerest, all hail!

Son of the virgin! Hero of the blest!

Over the gates of death and hell prevail;

Warrior who hast alone the wine-press trod.

J. A. Heraud.

CONSCIENCE.

And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.—Acts, xxiv. 16.

Their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the meanwhile accusing or else excusing one another.—Romans, ii. 15.
