Sn>? twelve or fourteen yean after
the revival of the worahlp of Jehovuh
u?der the administration of Barn. Na
httnriah led a company to Jerusalem to
restore the dty walla and civil author
ity. Tl? valla and gates of the city
had lalo In ruins ever alnce they were
broken down by Nebuchadnesaar. In
thla condition the remnant of the
Jews who had gone back to Jerusalem
were oxiioecd to the dnnjrer* of as
saults from the surrounding enemies.
Not only waa this eapoaore detrimen
tal to the peace and comfort of the
people, but II whs u matter of severe
reproach to them (v. 8). N-herolah
waa a ini.n of strong charactei Though
occupying n position of high liouor and
responsibility In the very center of
the great heathen cnpltol, the desire to
honor GmI wu uppermost In lila h-nrt.
He Is an exaaiple to all young men,
demonstrating to them that It la pos
sible to be true- to God regnrdless of
the environment In which he may be
compelled to live. In order for ? man
to thus stand, his life mnst be rooted
In Christ, and these roots?our faith?
must be watered and kept alive
through vital communion with Oori In
prayer and study of Hla Holy Word.
I. Nehemlah Learn* of the Afflic
tion and Reproach of the Returned
Remnant In Jerusalem (vr. 1-4).
L The time (v. 1). It wna In a
winter month, November or December.
In the 20th year of Artnxerxes. He
was engaged In the performance of his
accustomed duties ss -cup-bearer to
the king, when the new* came to him
of the deplorable condition of /Jeru
salem and tbe remnant who bad gone
there.
2. The rocaslon of (w. 2. 3). The
visit of Nehemtah's brother nnd certain
men of Judnh made It posalhle for him
to Inquire concerning the state of the
remnant and the conditions of Jeru
salem. .They Informed him that they
. were In great affliction and reproach, j
j 8. The effect upon Nehemtnh (v. 4).
He wis greatly moved by the story of
the distress of his brethren. Thouirh
occupying a position of honor." and en
joying nil that heart could desire, he
keenly took the miafortone ot Ms
brerhren to heart. He not only shed
tenra of sympathy, but took these bur
dens In prnyer to Ood. Thja la the
proper way to sympathize with the nn
| fortunate. It la manly to weep with
j those In distress, nnd to pray for
i those who hare need. Jesus wept orer
; Jerusalem nnd prayed for his own.
j Nehemlnh exhibited the spirit of true
| patriotism. The affliction and shame
) of his own peonle went close to his
1 own heart. National and racial aoM
darlty conatltutea the real basis of
patriotism. The reproach and afflic
tion of a nation Is the reproof nnd
affliction of every member thereof. j
II. Nehemlah'a Prayer for Israel
(w. 6-11). We are tanght that In the
midst of affliction, we should pray.
Nehemlah In this early time practiced
this New TeStamrnt direction. A
s^jidy of his prayer Is most helpfnl. |
1. ft wns earnest (v. 4). He fasted
and prayed for several days. . When
men are willing to desist from food
nnd torn aside from their occupations
to pray to Ood. thev are unmistakably
In errnest. This Is true fasting. Mere
ly abstn'n'ng from food la not jrecea
sarlly fasting. It la when oor hearts
have entered Into sympathy with Ood
nnd his people and the desire for food
I* removed, that there la fasting wh?ch
Is worth while.
2. The gronnd of (v. 5). He plead
covenant relationship nnd the faith
fulness of Ood In keeping his covenant.
It la a good thing always In our pray
ing to plead thus with Ood. He la
delighted when we come as children
pleading for the things we need on
the basis of our relationship to him.
3. tlnselflsh (v. 6). He has as his
supreme object the welfare of Israel.
His personal Interests were not af
fected. her for better or-for worse.*
by the condition of the Jews In Jeru
salem. Many prayers do not count
with Ood fcecause they are self-center
ed. They display the utter selfishness
of the one who offers them. I
4. Penitent (?v. ?, 7). He ncfcnnwl
edjcea that the *tnt* of Inraei wan doe
to disobedience to Ood'a command
ment* and their corrnpt deallnpr* with "
nod. So completely hid he Identified
hlmeelf with hl? people that h? tnclnd
ed hlmaelf with Israel aa having
sinned.
5. The prayer of faith (??. 8. ?). '
He believed the word which Ood had
spoken ta Mose* touching his wllllng
pess to reatore and hleaa hla people.
thnnKh he wn* obliged to severely
Judge them. In our prnylor we should
he able to point to aome definite prom
lae In Owl's word, aa *re plead with
lilm. Faith takes Ood at hla worit
ami holda him to It."

H* thorn- redeemed by Ood'a powerful
hand.
h. He naked that Ood would proa
per hi* way and jtmnt him merer In
the aiRht of the kin*. This w?a a
part of wisdom on Nehetnlnh'a part.
Bt-forv going before men for ennaMera
tlon of Important interests, we ahould
ask Ood to prepuce their heart*, ao that
? hey will llaten sympathetically to our'
plea. Thla we sbouki do In all thine*,

The
Astonishment of
Heaven
By RKV-^B. U. SPTCUPPB
latutnW Qit^l
T1CXT-B* uioalabed O V bMtut u
lhU.-J?r J:B
At first thought It might aeMD Im
nomtWe for the world to cuntalo ?njr
I I thing w hich would I
cause surprise or
wonder lu tke
lieuteua. ?et there
are some things
which dally cause
theui amusement.
The Leve of M
* for Man.
The text might
well he used ? hen
we think of thla>
Consider m a n'a
smallnesa and In
significance In tke
universe. He Is
compared to a
worm of the dust,
to the truss of the
Held und even whole nations are small
er lhan the dust of the balance. Hta
life ta a sp?n, a vapor which disap
pears, a dream of (be night or a tale
that Is told. Consider man's sinfulness.
He haa gone astray from righteous
ness, there Is none that doeth good
and he rebels at God's restraint. His
sin Is not merely s disease that should !
awaken sympathy for the afflicted. It
is that but H Is more. Sin 1* crime
and the sinner Is as a criminal tiefore
the bar of eternal Justice, cop rioted
of wsntvn crime and condemned by 1
his own conscience. And sin is rebel
lion making the sinner to be not mere
ly diseased and Involved as a criminal,
but a rebel and enemy of Ood and his
government. Well mny the heavens
be astonished aa they behold the In
. tense longing love of Ond for such a '
man. so small and Insignificant yet to
sinful and rebellions.
Tho Gift of God for Man.
Thli text might wo)I bo used again
when we consider Th|s. It wonlil be
enough that God should search for
?nan as he did for Adam. Knmigh thnt
he ahould he so Interested In the stn
ner'a welfare no to give such signs as
he has In tho flood, etc. A surprising
thing thnt he should trouble himself
to choose men who-would teach tho
nice the ways of troth ami upright- ,
neaa such as Mooes.' Abraham and
other*. A wonder It Is thai ,ie should
send his seers and prophets to call I
men hack from the way of misery and
death. But what cause for omaxe
ment that he should w love the world
as to give his on'T begotten son, to I
suffer nnd die thut men might bo saved
from sin nnd Its consequences. Well
majr It be snltl. "Be astonished O T*
heavens, nt this."
Tho Patience of Ood With Man.
We must repeat this text when WO'
think of his patience. It would he no
surprising thing had God cut man off
completely as a eumherer of tho
ground. But through the centuries ha
continues to Invite the sinner to tho
honnteous supper of salvation. He has
continued to plead with man to be j
reconciled to tymsetf. In spite of re- I
huffs nnd Insu'ts he has Implored men i
to leave the brond path Hint surely 1
leads to eternnl death and tnke tho
path thnt goes on to pternnl life and ,
glory. In spite of man** turning deaf
ears to him ho continues to war* h'm
of his awful danger, trying In every ;
way to guard him from destruction un
til It cnn he Mild that If the reader of
this ever finds himself In perdition he
will And himself so not beranse of ,
God. but In spite of all that God could
do to keep lilm out. Ami God's pn
tlence with man never wearies or j
wavers. Aa It wns In the dn.vs of Noah. |
so It Is now. God strives with man by i
his spirit to the 7ery limit of life. If
any should rend this whose life has
been a continuous rejection of God's
roodness nnd offer of salvation, let
that one know tliat In spite of every
thing that has gone. Ood's patience is
not run nut or wearied. "Be aston
ished. O ye henvens. nt this."
Tho Rejection of Ocui h? M
-T* |
This I* the crowning rnuse for won
der. la not God good? Then why re- -I
Ject htm? U he not tree? Then why
reject hlrnt b be not Just. or tender,
or gentle, or trustworthy? Whnt fault
has the unsaved render to And In of
with God of the Bible? There I* no
fnult In him. His friend* nnd enemies
benr witness to this, lis Is the living
nnd true God. All others sre <Jcnd nnd
therefor* useless Gods. Some want ri?
I It I on, some want power, some wnnt
culture and so on. but true religion,
omnipotent power, real culture, etc..
are found only In the true, nnd the
trae Ood la found only In Chrlat Jesus
the Lord. But though so freely offered
man continue* to reject him. "Be as
tonished. O ya heavens, at this."
A man who falls overboard and
then resists the one who would rescue
him nnd refuses the safety offered goes
to his desth a suicide. So the innn
who resists the Lord and refnaes hla
proffered aalvatlon goes to his eternal
doom a soul suicide "Be astonished.
O ye heavens, at this."
O* Not Worry.
Do not worry. Lite never hurries;
death alone Is In haste. The cyclone,
the earthquake, the eruption, are sel
dom In their destructive work; growth
la slow. The mountain stresm hur
ries; It cannot do otherwise; but la all
Its rush and mar there Is a prophecy
of occanlc calm, the large, ever-ani
mated calm that belongs to all sound i
life. The torn past that sweeps across
the waters moveit the surface; the
great depth la unngltsted. Ho the soul
knows nothing of the tumult of haste,
so often apparent on the surface of
llfa. For thf #oul is of Ood. the undis
turbed. the unhurrylng. the unchang
ing. Let but the soul grow consclona
of Itself, and repose follows aa surely
aa light follows the rising of the sun.?
Ida Ahlbom Weeks.
Keep Eyes on Ood.
It does not do to be running about
without' thinking, or thinking without
looking into the face of Ood.?Bishop
