And we after these things ever afterward continually remind one another of them; and those of us who have means assist all who are in want, and we are always together with one another. And for all the things we partake of we bless the Maker of all through his Son Jesus Christ and through the Holy Spirit. And on the day called the day of the Sun there is a gathering together in one place of all who live in cities or in the country, and the memoirs of the apostles or the writings of the prophets are read, as long as time permits. Then, when the reader has ceased, the president by a discourse gives admonition and exhortation to the imitation of these good things. Then we all rise together and offer up prayers; and, as we said before, when we have ceased from the prayer, bread is brought, and wine and water, and the president likewise sends up prayers and thanksgivings, according to his ability, and the people give their assent, saying "Amen"; and there is a distribution to each, and a partaking of that over which thanks have been given, and it is sent through the deacons to those who are not present. And those who are well-to-do and willing each give what he wishes, according to his own choice, and what is collected is deposited with the president, and he himself assists orphans and widows, and those who through sickness or any other cause are in want, and those who are in bonds, and the strangers sojourning among us, and in a word he becomes the guardian of all who are in need. And we all hold our common gathering on the day of the Sun, since it is the first day, on which God, having transformed the darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ our Savior on the same day rose from the dead; for on the day before that of Saturn they crucified him, and on the day after that of Saturn, which is the day of the Sun, having appeared to his apostles and disciples, he taught them these things, which we have also handed over to you for your examination.
