Jt will four months after Nebemlnh learned of tbe desolation of Jeruauleta Hint he had (he opportunity to muke known Inn request to the king. Just why be did not teat the kind's atti tude toward bliu and hl? proJ?ot earlier. wi hare no infornmtlon. Per haps there was no great function at which ho was celled upon to mlnlxter In- this Interval, or hi* turn of serv ice had not arrived, or his duties were so exacting that no opportunity was afforded for him to unbosom Uls grief to the king. I. Neh.miah'a Request to the King (vv. 1-8) (t) Its occasion, v. 1. As cup-bearer he was ministering before the king. The eup-beehr ??? mint than a mere valet. He entered very closely tntu the life's Interests of the king. so tint the Inner life and spirit of the cup-bearer was knuwp. It was expected of such servants that they manifest perfect happiness while In the presence of the Wing. T<t appear In bis presence otherwise would likely be to the displeasure of the king. Vehetnlnh'R sad countenance while thus serving awakened the king's sus picion. The matter was serious for Nehetnlali. vfta afraid under ,the dr eumsta nc<%. (2) The kind's Inqulrj v. 2. Th? kin* perceived thnf Nelieminli's coun tenance was sud. though he wn* nut *1ek. nn<1 he knew that something e* traordlnary had come Into the life of lil* rup-hearer. (3) The effct upon Neheminh. v. Z HI* heart ???? filled with fe?r. He did i?ot know hnt wknt tlii* Impropriety was no irrent an to citnae hi* dismissal. Hl? fear wn? more than that of losing his position: to he dismissed from be ing enp-l*enrer would menn the low of an opportnnlty to present hi* request in the king: and. without the kins'* sanction and aid. Ills enterprise would fall. (4) Mehemlah's tactful reply. V. 8. He seeks to conciliate the kin* by expressing n deep Intereot In the royal life and person. He *ny?: "May the kin* lire forevee." and then tell* that the eaune of hi* *rlef wn* the desola tlon of the cltv whgre _Jila_fnth*r? were burled. Thl* note of patriotism met a re*pon*e In the kin*'* heart, causing him to Inquire as to his wish. (.1) The content* of Nehemlah's re queat. tt. 5-8. (a) To he sent to .Tudnh to hulld the wall* of Jerusalem. tt. 5, 6. Thl* reqnpat virtually mennt to be granted a leaye of absence from the Persian conrt and to be appointed military goTernor of that part of the klnrdom of Artnxerxes. The kin*, donhtres*. snw that s*ch a jjiove would be of particular benefit to Ids klne dom^nolltlcally. owing to the ?trate*!c lH?sltlon of Jerusalem. between Baby lon and Egrpt. In the ca*e of the broking out of hostilities hetwecn these powers, to hive' a fortified city In Palestine would be of Immense Im portance. At the kin*"* request, a definite time wa* set for thl* leave of absence, v. ft. He remained In Jerusa lem for twelve year*. A side light on the kins'* zrncious attitude toward Vrh'ifnlrh I* given In thl*: "The qneen also Hitting by him." She Is not named, bnt In all probability It was Bsth?r. Her pie*enct? would em botden Nehemlah to ask, and Influ ence the king In granting the request She hud "come to tlie kln<rd->m for such a time as this," Esther 4:14. t (b) For letters to) the governors be yond the river, v. ?.

Nehsmlah't Request Qranted, v. ft Nehemlab waa a tactful diplomat. He exercised sound sense nnd pro. dence In all thing*. but he supremely defended upon (Jod and prayed for Hod's dlspoaol of the king's heart n* he made his request known, v. 4. Th# kin* granted his request "according to the good hand of my Ood upon me." v. ft. He ascribes the 'success of his undertaking to (Jod.

He journeyed from Sluishn n to Jerusalem under the pro. taction of a military eacort. This wna iif double value: protection and safety. Wheti II wna known that Nrhemlnh was undertaking thla work with the consent of the king, 5tanballal and ToWah were * greatly grieved.

I For some time the Moody Bible Insti tute has been urged to add to Ita ac tivities the work of promoting dull; Bible reuding. There are several or ganisation* alremly doing excellent work along thla line, but most of them reach only a limited otimber of people. For this reason, and for the further red*on that In spite of all that (a being done, there yet remains u large uuin ber of professing Phristlnns who are doing" Ira systematic reading of tlie Bible, and millions of others who al most lguore the book, we feel led to urge the render* of this column to t-o opcftite In this work. We realise that the member* of Christina . Rndenvor societies, ttiHi smaller organisations, are itrendy pledged to rend the Bible dally. Fur thermore. the covenants of most churches require their mewl>er? to (to the same, but a large proportion of God's people, both young and old, are not doing It, and therein lies their weakness. Malts It Interesting. How to Induce them to do whst they already admit Is their duty, la the problem. To scold them In worae than useless To bind upon them mktl tlonal pledges is unprofitable. The on'y method which seems likely to succeed. Is fur pastors and lay workers to make the Bible so Interesting and attractive that people will feel th*t they cannot nffflrt to neglect Mi B?i w aMtf1 nuike It Interesting to others, unless we enjoy It ourselves. Is evident, hut < we must enjoy It, or resign our pool- ! lion as leaders to those who do enjoy "?

And now, pastors, will y..u help us, and let ua help you? W? do not clnlm to have any special light or wisdom on this matter, and we would not pre name to teach you who have long and prayerfully pondered thla problem.
