YOU NO I'EUPLE AND ADULT TOPIC -.sphcmiah. an Eiampi" for Men ol Affairs Nelo-Uriah tr?s n cupbearer to the Persian king While performing his duty i.s cupi*>Kror, he learned of the distress of his brethren in .Jerusalem. Having worn! a leave of absence from the Persian court ami credentials frem the king, he journey*'! to .Tcrusalein. After resting three days without diseh'sinc his purpose to anyone, he Uiii*!e a survey of the walls by night. Having thus obtained first-hand Information, he celled the representatives *?f the Jews together and said, "Let up build the walls of Jerusalem." I. Preparation for the Building (Chap. 3). The division of labor in this project shows N'ehemlah's administrative ability. a wise distribution of labor makes difficult tasks easy. Note some outstanding features of this great work: X. Stress Laid Upon Indifference Ir. administrative tn*ks it la Just that unfaithfulness should he IMjIntC'd cut. Such action will be a warning to some end fncouragoment to others, ?n that It shows the Integrity of the director 2. Help {tendered by Women (3:12). Perhaps Shaliuns had no sons to aid him. It was e line.thing for the women to hi-ifi. even In building u wait, when there were no men to do It. 3. stress Laid Cpon Knrncstness (3:20). If one know.- that his faithfulness will be recbgn'/.ed, he will earnestly pursue his tasks. 4. Every One Ruilr Over Against Ilia Own House (3:10, 23. 2S). No incentive to exertion Is quite an strona as that which concerns one's own family. fi. Certain (luilds of Men Undertook Certain Work <3:6. 31. 32). Wise administration sometimes calls for such alignment of efforts. Men of the same class and craft will surely work better together. I!. Hindrances Encountered (4:16:14). 1. Scoffing of Sanhallat and Tohlah (*1:1-6; cf. 2:10, 20). The opposers of Cod's servants usually begin by hurling at thetn shafts of ridicule. They called the .lews a feeble folk and asserted that the tread of a prowling fox would break down their stqjie wall. 2. Conspiracy for a Sudden Attack (4:7-0). When the enemy saw that the work was actually succeeding they changed from ridicule to no attempt to throw the workmen Into a panic. When tlie enemy cannot succeed hj scoffing they resort to intimidation. *> r'nnon<r?<.v *v- j---s ^ ^3. 23). They sought by means of the .Tews front the outside to discourage their brethren by showing that the task was hopeless and that at any time they were subject to a sudden and secret attack. 4. (Treed and Oppression of the Rulers (5:1-13). The Jews .of that dry, like the profiteers of our time, took advantage of the poor and oppressed them so that they mortgaged their land and sold their daughter* into slavery. Nehemiah boldly rebuked them for their crimes and ordered a restoration to he made, exacting an oath of them that they would fulfill their promises. 5. Plot to Take Nehemlah's T.if* (6:1-14). "When Sanballat and Tobiah failed in every way they sought by craft to get Nehemiah away that they might kill him. III. The Wall Completed (8:15-7:4). So energetically did they pursu* their tasks that in fifty-two days the wall was completed. When the enemies heard that in spite of all their schemes the work was actually finished they were dejected, for they perceived that fhe work was of God. We may learn from this: 1. That God s children are assailed by enemies, hut in view of Roman* 8:31 they should not fear. 2. That when attacked by enernle* we should pray (4:9). Their faith was accompanied by wise precaut inning: (1) Set a watch (4:9). (2) Men were permitted to be with their families (4:13) and thus would fight bet? ter. (8) Half worked una hall watched, all armed for battle (4:16). (4) They worked with sword in one hand (4 :17). (5) They slept In their clothes In readiness (4:23). Prnyei and faith are not dothful or inactive. Everything. Everything without tells the Individual that he Is nothing; everythlui wtthln persuades him that he is every thing.?X. T>oudnn. Easier Than to Think. To follow foolish precedents, and wink with both our eyes, is easier thap to think?Cowyer. Tricks of the Wand. The mines of knowledge are often laid bare hy the ba?el wand of chance ?Tupper.

Often the person who carries his hands as described in the foregoing paragraph is easily led, for good or evil purpose, and either cannot or will not take the trouble to wrestle with the problems of life. In money mutters he will, of course, be "generous to a fault," parting easily with his substance, Just as the man or woman who holds the hand closed tightly, or nearly so, will hold to what he or she has, often to the point of niggardliness.

It is .leriv./u originally from a verb in- : nsng to tight or to rule ar.d tae naine of Abraham's spouse , Sarai (quarrelsome) was thus con- j verted into Sarah (the princess!. If we may judge from the example of the bride of Tobias, the daughters of Sarah were occasionally called by her ante and Zare is used as an eastern name. Similarity ?.t sound has led """ etymologists t<? derive the term Sara.- | cen from the assumption that this race I was descended from Sarah, but their i.f u nut oihclont'iita.! Sara Heauchamp wag one of the first famous women to bear the name ^aivota de Mutton, who liven' much earlier, was really Sarah. Liven an Italian translation. Sarah was not popular in England until after the Reformation, when the contraction Saily had enormous vogue At the ssiu.o time it was adopted as an equivalent for / no less than three Irish names, Sadobm, Sorchn and S.irnid. France quickly adopted Sarah, hut ilisted on omitting the final "h" that Riblical translation gave it. evolving from it another equally popular form Sarotte. Sally and Sal lie have greater vogue today in this country then any other derivative: in fact, they outweigh the more formal and r [compromising Sarah in a country which favors contractions and diminutives. Sarah has never had great vogue among the poets, who have favored the more approach* ble Sallie and written graceful little ditties to the Cuffj* young person we all visualize as n typical Sallie. Sarah's gem is the beryl, which is rsidered a talisman against misfortune. Ancient lore has it that the beryl nas power to make its wearer unconquerable and increases amiability; it also reawakens love in married people. Saturday is Sarah's lucky day and 5 her lucky number. ! ? KV ?ha W>?Ai>Ur Co. .! /.nt. Tko \ o tQaejrrle2.t. by MoCfcow Syrx3K*??.j f*?ge C B.
