Show Reasons for Learning Greek. An ancient dean of Christ church Is said to have given three reasons for the study of Greek. Tho first was that It enabled you to read tho words of tho Savior in tho original tongue; the second, sec-ond, that It gave you a proper contempt con-tempt for thoso who were ignorant of It; and tho third was that It led to situations sit-uations of emolument. What a rich aroma hangs about this judgment! Tho first reason is probably erroneous, tho second Is un-Chrlstlan, and tho third Is a gross motive which would equally apply to any professional training whatsoever.
