TESTIMONIES AGAINST THE JEWS. 141 Luke : " When thou makest a dinneror a supper,callnot thy friends,nor brethren,nor neighbours,nor the rich; lest haply they alsoinvitethee again,and a recompense be made thee. But when thou makest a banquet,callthe poor,the weak, the blind,and lame : and thou shaltbe blessed; be causethey have not the means of rewarding thee: but thou shaltbe recompensed in the resurrectionof the just."1 2.

For wherever two or threearegatheredtogether in my name, I am with them."'
