show, because the Grecians Tor foreign Jews)
had murmured against the Hebrews, for na-
tive Jews on account of their widows being
neglected In the daily ministration. Now
this surely would have produced, in turn, a
murmuring of the Hebrews against the Gre
clans, unless they had some already in office,
looking after their rights (Eacyc. Metro
politana. "*
We need not undertake to sit as umpire
between these rival interpretations. Some
minds will probably prefer one, some the
other. But in either case the record sustains
our point, that deacons are the revenue off
GERS of Christ's kingdom, who should collect
and diburse its funds, and hold its property.
Dr. Miller has pointed out the prevalent inaccu-
racy of making the chazzan of the synagogue the
equivalent of deacon. The shadrash, he says is the
deacon, while ch1zz1n is nearly the same as our
sexton.

The Influence of Reading.

If l were to pray for taste which would
stand me in stead under every variety of cir
cumstances, and be source of happiness
and cheerfulness to me through life, and
shield against its ills, however things might
90 amiss and the world frown upon me, it
would be taste for reading. speak of it,
of course, only as worldly advantage, and
not in the slightest degree as superseding or
derogating from the higher Office and surer
and stronger panoply of religious principle;
but as taste, an instrument, and as source
of pleasurable qualification. Give man
this taste and the means of gratifying it, and
you can hardly fail Of making him happy
man, unless, indeed, you put into his hands
a most perverse selection of books. You
place him in contact with the best society in
every period of history-with the wisest, the
wittiest-with the tenderest, the bravest, and
the purest characters that have adorned hu-
manity. You make him denizen of all ma
tions-a contemporary of all ages. The
world has been created for him. 1t is hardly
possible but the character should take a
higher and better tone from the constant
habit of associating in thought with class
of thinkers, to say the least of it, above the
average Of humanity. 1t is morally impos-
sible but that the manners should take a
tinge of good breeding and civilization from
having constantly before ones eyes the way
in which the best bred and the best informed
men have talked and conducted themselves
in their intercourse with each other. There
is gentle and perfectly irresistible coercion
in the habit of reading, well directed over the
whole tenor of mans character and con-
Duct which is not less efectual because it,
works insensibly, and because it is really the
last thing he dreams of.-Sw John HerscheN.

For Jesus Sake.

And why for his sake !? Simply becauce
in him alone rests our surety of pardon and
favor. "While We were yet without
strength, in due time Christ died for the un.
godly." Herein is our confidence. We
name the one name high above all, into our
Fathers ear, and say "For Jesus sake"
and quickly the response comes back to the
heart of acceptance and answer. 1t is like
a stranger coming into the court of hostile
king and saying, Although l come from
the enemys camp, thy son has been very
gracious unto me and become my friend
In thy sons name am l come, begging thy
grace" Does the father turn away the
friend of his child? He receives him for
his sons sake, and enemy though he was,
admits him to the supreme privilege of the
kingdom. So we come il the name of our
friend Jesus Christ, saying that he has suf-
fered many things f,r our sake, and has paid
in himself the penalty of our sins. We beg
the Father to receive US in respect of the
love of the Saviour Son, and we are received.
Oh sweet and wonderous love of Christ bring
ing us near | We have nothing to recon-
mend US to God save this! This we may
gratefully claim, for all of our indebtedness
to broken law was assumed by him. He
stands in our stead, as the perfect satisfaction
to its just claims. All of the dread penalty
was paid in the life and death of the merci-
full Saviour-God Incarnate How great
this debt of ruin and sin was, how wide the
salvation purchased, how supreme the wisdom
and love involved, eternity alone may express
to our souls. We have to attain to che an
gel stature before we shall understand it in
its largest meaning. However, here, in this
shadow land we may catch bright glimpses
of its majesty, now and then, in some wrapt
hours of inspiration when the Spirit lifts
the veil of sense away, for time-but the
vision is but suggestion of what lies con
cealed beyond. We can not stretch our
finite minds to take in the infinite; We have
not ears attuned to the higher harnonies
which God evolves; but some day perhaps
we may know what is this salvation and what
in grace and love the Saviour brings to u.s.
In the meanwhile, we have the secret coun-
tersign to brethren into the ear of our God
and Judge, For Jesus sake, and this shall
never fail to gain US acceptance and mercy
