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.

and in fixedness of purpose. Re
careful in entrusting such a person
with a secret., and also with entrusting
blm with the execution of any purpose
upon which much depends, or on which
you have set your heart.
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. In
this respect, and in mental matters
also, the more open the hand Is, the
more liberal wW be the possessor But
there Is such a thing as too much liberality,
as shown by the hand that is
held too wide open.

SARAH?lately by fashionable con- lit
spelled Sara--is derived from
a p ?.d old Biblical name and re- j
eelved it^ right to sst:r<!> religious sig- ;
I:;- , ame since it first attached to the
wife oi the patriarch Abraham.
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.
