An Hour in the Synagogue.

One Saturday morning 1 strayed into
Jewish synagogue at the time of service.
Curiosity alone prompted me at first; but
as joined the throng of worshippers enter
ing the sacred walls I resolved to become
one of them, to be, for the time, a Hebrew
with the Hebrews. And when prayer was
offered, though in an unknown tongue to
me, the worship of my heart went up to the
God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
1t was hard to leave out of my petitions
the name of Christ. hardly knew how to
frame prayer; but tried to think of him
as coming Messiah, and to drop from my
belief the divine character of Jesus, the son
of Mary.
O what an utter blank remained!
No Christ through whom to present our
wants at the throne of the Father.
No cross, where, his body having hung,
we have hope of forgiveness through his
blood
No lowly life of sinless perfection to
which we may look for our Example and
our Guide
No High Priest, "touched with the feel
| ing of our infrmities," to sympathize in our
griefs
The thought was insupportable. could
not be Jew, and left the synagogue abruptly.
My first breath in the open air was thanks
giving for my own religion, a religion with
Christ in it-Christ already come, a present,
precious Saviour.
May He who is "thh Way, the TRUTH
and the Life" open all blind eyes to see him
thus, and incline all hearts to believe

For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.
The Sin of .Achan-who Commits IT.

Who that has been any thing of student
of the Bible, is not familiar with the story
of Achan, and the fearful consequences of
his sin of covetousness? And yet how many
careless readers would be surprised and
shocked to know that the Prophet Nathan's
accusation against King David, might justly
be made against themselves, and the same
sentence pronounced, "Thou art the man?"
Who of us, the professed followers of the
meek and lOwly Jesus, have not taken of the
consecrated things, and used them for our
selfish enjoyment: When we gave ourselves
to the Lord, did we not promise to use our
powers of body and mind, as we'll as our
property, in His service, and for the promo
ton Of His glorious kingdom? Have We
not coveted the time and money which were
the Lords, and wasted them upon ourselves
and our families, without thinking of the
glory of God? Have we practiced the self
denial taught by our blessed Master, who
left his throne of glory, and for our sakes
became poor, that we through his poverty
might be rich? Have we really denied our
selves any of the comforts or necessaries of
life that we might have money to cast into
the Lords treasury? Have we not given
what we could Conveniently spare, and moth
ing more, for the support of the ministry in
our own and foreign lands? While Gods
professed children are spending thousands
of dollars in unnecessary conformity to the
world, his faithful ambassadors are strug.
Cling with poverty in almost every region,
the cause of Christ is languishing, and the
sin of Achan is crying aloud to God for ven-
geance all over our land. The wrath Of
God has been poured out upon us, for the
very sins which provoked his curse in the
days of Haggai the Prophet. Have not oul
people for several years past been sowing
much, and bringing in little? The heaven;
have been stayed from dew, and the eartf
from her fruits. The Lord has called fol
drought upon the land, and upon the noun
tains, upon that which the ground did tring
forth, upon men, upon cattle, and upon al
the labor of their hands.

made abortive efforts to get into business,
and after few years struggle have broken
down. But no instance has yet occurred of
failure, after successful beginning. And
wherever such system of State supervision
is maintained as in New York and Massa.
chusetts, failure would seem to be impossible.
1t is to be hoped that, as soon as our State
is rehabilitated, measures will be taken to
secure to our citizens the protection, and to
the companies here operating, the guarantee
of such supervision here.
In our next, we propose to lay before the
readers, from the reports of these States,
and such other data as are available, sta
tistical exhibit of those companies which are
doing business in Virginia.

worlds customs? Can we thus hazard the
loss of reputation, ease and safety? If we
cannot, then we are not his disciples.
"The fearful soul that tires and taints,
And walks the yays of God no more;

cannot, then we are not his disciples.
"The fearful soul that tires and taints,
And walks the ways of God no more;
! Is but esteemed almost saint,
And makes his own destruction sure.
We may also learn that the resolute, pru-
dent and pious undertakings of the active
Christian, shall have favorable issue
This purpose of Joseph to ask for the body
of Jesus was both uncertain and dangerous.
Had he paused to consider his own charac-
ter, or that of his colleagues, or the charac-
ter and disposition of PLATE, thousand
fears would have arisen in his mind, and de-
tered him from the attempt. But ne both
reverenced and loved the Saviour. This
constrained him, and by this holy constraint,
he overcame all difficulties. So it should be
with US. What if the work to which God
and conscience call US be difficult and even
dangerous-what if it call for the sacrifice of
pride, avarice, or ambition, let not this de-
press our spirit, or repress eur efforts. We
shall be sure of the testimony of a good
conscience, and the honor of having hazarded
something for the cause of Christ; and in
the last great day our brave resolves and
generous efforts shall not go unrewarded.-
Only consent to labor, suffer, and if need be,
die in this cause, as many brave soldiers
have done in the cause of their country, and
We shall surely hear at last" Well done,
good and faithful servant, enter thou into the
Joy of the Lord" And to help in so doing,
commit to memory the following lines:
GAS much have I of worldly goods
As e'er my Master bad;
l diet on as dainty food,
And am as richly clad.
A manger was his infant bed,
His home the mountain cave,
He had not where to lay his head
he borT0loed cen hts Craze.
Earth yielded him no resting spot
Her maker, yet she knew him not.
Finally, the removal of the body of Christ
from the cross, and its burial in the tomb of
Joseph, by divine direction, is proof that the
justice of God was fully satisfied, and that
the mercy of God is now freely offered to
lost sinners. Had not Christ met every de-
mand of the law as the substitute for guilty
man, justice would not have permitted him
to be taken down from the cross. His re-
moval and burial are therefore proof that on
that cross he had borne the curse of his peo-
pie, and that now ''there is no condemnation
to them who are in Christ Jesus"
Let us accept this truth with thankfulness
and even rejoice to know that,
''The grave is now favored spot,
To saints who sleep in Jesus blest
And when contemplating the graves of our
departed friends and kindred, or thinking Of
our own as near, let US gratefully remember
that,
There the dear flesh of Jesus lay,
And so surely as Jesus rose from the dead,
$50 all his followers must.
AS Joseph and NicOdemus were brave and
generous in contributing to his decent burial,
let us be equally brave and generous in sus-
tanning his cause, now that he is risen from
the dead. W. s. w.

LIVE AS NEAR to Jesus as you possibly
can, but die to SELF 1t is daily work.
Self is like mountain. Jesus is a sun that
shines on the other side of the mountain,
and now and then sunbeam comes over
the top; we get glimpse, sort of twilight
apprehension of the brightness of the sun,
but self must be much more subdued, before
we can bask in the beams of the ever blessed
Jesus, or say in everything, "Thy will be
