ESTHER VI 11: 2-8, 35-117.
BY J. E. GILBERT, D. DM LL. D.,
Secretary of American Society of Religious Education.
THE CONTEXT. Tho edict of the
king, secured by tho wicked Hninnn,
nppolnted n dny In which tho Jews In
nil parts of tho empire should bo put
to death. Mordecal, who had been tho
occnslon of this attempt to destroy his
people, on lcnrnlnc what was deter
mined, camo forth Into tho streets clad
In sackcloth, after tho orientalists In
times of grent sorrow, (Gen. xxvll:; 34.)
and made loud nnd bitter lamentation.
This display of grief was soon reported
to Queen Esther. As she vns n Jewess
her own life was in Jeopardy, and she
determined to Intercede for her race.
By a series Of banquets tho king's
heart was made merry, and eho easily
secured her desire. Hamnn was pro
nounced nn enemy. His estate was
confiscated, and he was hung on the
gallows that had been erected for the
execution of Mordecal, while the latter
was placed In charge of Human's es
tate as trustee for the queen.
THE APPROACH (V. 3). The re
moval of tho man who had planned tho
massacre did not set aside tho cruel
decree whose provisions had carried
consternation to millions of hearts.
Queen Esther had therefore a further
service to render for her people. Once
more she came Into tho presence of tho
king, manifesting the spirit of humili
ty and reverence due In that day to the
monarch. Rulers, possessed of abso
lute power, assumed a haughty bear
ing now fortunately unknown In nny
part of the globe. It was considered nn
offense to approach a king1 unbidden.
(Esther lv: 11.) Hence, In the most
abject manner the queen nrostrntcd
herself before the sovereign, a position
which might have been nssumed by the
humblest slave, confessing thereby
that she claimed no right to apnear
but trusted to find mercy. As nn Indi
cation of the deep distress of her soul
tho tears coursed their way down her
cheeks, presenting a spectacle that
ought to move tho hardest heart.
THE RECEPTION, (v. 4)-.The
queen's approach was not rejected.
What had Just occurred, the three
banquests, the honor conferred upon
Mordecal the punishment Inflicted up
on Haman, Inclined tho king to be
gracious. Besides, the previous ap
proaches of Esther must have con
vinced him of her kindly purpose, (Es
ther 11:22) nnd he had reason to think
that she had now come on some errand
of tho public good. Withal, the beauty
of the queen, which had ben recog
nized when she was elevated to this ex
alted place, (11:7) an orphan girl hon
ored because of her personal charms,
was Increased by her attitude an i
tears. It would have been ;i vile mon
ster who could have done her harm
under such clrcumstan-cs. The king
held out the golden eeo'.'!r toward
Esther, an act of kindly favor, declar
ing that the supp'lint ml"hr be hear J.
This reception must have srnt gladness
Into tho heart of tho woman who camo
as the represen'ntlo and Intercessor of
her people, who lu'd their lives In her
ab'llty to plead their ciuflJ. Rising she
stood before the king. It was n time
of .Tost impressive Interest Will she
be equal to the osomon
THE APPEAL, (vs. 0 and 6). Es
ther's speech followed Immediately In
few well chosen words. She naked that
letters might be written reversing tin
letters devised by Haman 1 1 which the
death of the Jev'3 had been ordered.
Thereby tho blame of tho decree wna
cast where It belonged, upon him who
Instigated It. This adroit pleading was
calculated to concllltnto tho king who
might properly desire to undo tho mis
chief of a man whom lie had put to
death. But Esther did not leave her
request upon Its merits. She pleaded
It with three considerations, "If It
please tho king," an nppcnl to his own
good will; If "she had found favor "
an appeal to his regard for her; It "the
thing seemed right," nn appeal to Ills
conscience. These three considerations
might have been expanded by many
words, pleasure, regard, conscience,
are tho motives that moat frequently
control tho actlo'is of men. And she.
followed her request by pro tenting her
self as bound up with tli-s Jews, as
making common cause wlh them, ni.d
therefore unable to endurj tho evil that
would befall them, If the defroc were
not reversed.
THE RESPONSE (Verses 7 and S).
King Ahasucrus was favorably im
pressed by this earnest nppeal. He
reflected a moment upon what he had
already done, expressing his thoughts
to those about him. He had cause 1
Unman to be hung because his hand
had been laid upon the Jews and he
had Riven Hainan's property to ilia
queen. It was not consistent, thrr
fore, to allow a wholesale slaughter of
the Jews In his dominions, to punish a
man for un evil purpose nnd then al
low that purpose to be executed.
There was one difficulty, however. Tha
laws of the kingdom could not be re
pealed (Dan. vI:S). Whatever the king
wrote must stand. It was claimed
that tho sovereign could do no wrorg,
and that his orders could not, there
fore, be annulled. To meet this diffi
culty, however, authority was given
to the Jews everywhere to act In self
defense. Our lesson omits the vetsos
tihat refer to this new message which
went forth into all the provinces :n
the kliiR's name (verses 9 to 14 Inclu
sive), but tho student should read
them. On the day appointed, there
fore, two royal mandates were before
the people, one against the Jews and
ono In their favor.
THE HONOR (Verse 15). The evil
man 'had been slain and his evil pur
pose had been thwarted. Mordecal,
who had refused to humble himself
before the Agagltc, was elevated to his
place, the first man In the empire, next
to the king. He went forth from tho
palace in tho king's name, the repre
sentative of the king's authority. He
had laid aside the sack-cloth which
had been put on when tho decree was
issued against his people (Esther iv:l),
and instead he was clad In the apparel
of blue and white and purple, taken
from f!Ic royal wardrobe. Besides,
there was placed on his head a great
crown of gold, sufficient to Impress all
beholders with his dignity nnd Import
ance. Onee more, as In the case of
Daniel but a few years previously, the
Jew was honored (Dan. vl:12). The
Persian king has 4 Jewess queen and
a Jewish prime minister. And the
honor shown to 'both had resulted from
the spirit of Jealousy and hate and
directed against both.
THE GLAPDNESS (v. 15. 11, 17).
The changed conditions caused univer
sal rejolclnr. At Shusan, tho seat of
goevrnment, there had been much per
plexity because of Hainan's decrees, ' lng of His Son.
(Esther IIt:15) no one feeling securo
In tho time of such carnage. When It
beenmo known that this fearful loss
of life might be averted, that the mnn
who proposed It had himself been exe
cuted, that another of milder spirit
had como into his ortlne, the tension
was removed nnd there was a spontan
eous outburt or Joy (Prov. XXIX:2)
And In every province nnd city Into
wlvlch tho glad tidings wore carried
by rapid couriers there was feasting
nnd gladness. Tho captives who had
returned to Jerusalem and to Judca,
the exiles In distant parts who had not
been permitted to see their natlvo land
the scattered ones along the valleys
and the hillsides, all hnd a good day
when they learned that ono of their
kindred was near the throne, nnd Hint
their lives should not be sacrificed to
gratify the ambitions und hatred of
enemies.
THE CONVERSIONS (v. 17). Tho
change In the royal policy anil admin
istration, marked by the downfall of
Hainan, the elevation of Mordecal, and
the Issue of the counter decree, exer
cised Its most notable Influence upon
the people of the land. The evident
purpose to favor the Jews, who had
been so recently and summarily
doomed to death, carried conviction to
many minds that thereafter the way
to preferment and safety was by al
liance with these descendants of Abra
ham. It has been suggested by one
scholar of eminence that this opinion,
may have gained currency the moro
readily because the at.ceslral home ot
the Jews was In this region, (Gen. XI:
21) nnd their entrance Into power
might have been considered a proper
return of the race to their rightful
sovereignty. Accordingly, many bet-
came Jews (Psalm XVII: 13) accepting
the place of proselytes, under the pro
visions of tho ecclesiastical canons.
Strictly speaking, however, these were
not true conversions, but the results
of fear or selfishness (Gen XXX:5)
which lrnd been predicted centuries
before (Ex. XV:15). And yet the Influ
ence upon the Jews wns most salutary
because new friends were thus raised
up.
REFLECTIONS Our lesson exhibits
the method of Divine Providence. It
Is by a series of events that the Al
mighty cares for His people (Rom.
vlli:28) nnd works out His vast de
signs among the nations. An afflic
tive circumstance frequently becomes
a link In the chain of influences for
good. Suppose Mordecal had forsaken
his principles nnd reverenced Haman
(Esther 111:5) there would have been
no decree for the destruction of the
Jews. Suppose Mordecal had not nur
tered his uncle's daughter (Esther 11:7),
there might have been no Queen Es
ther to plead for her people. Suppose
Mordecal had not reported the conspir
acy against Ahasuerus (Esther 11:22),
he would not have received the king's
favor (Esther vl:2-9) at tho last mo
ment. Suppose Nebuchadnezzar had
not carried the Jews away captives
to Babylon, therewould not be where
they might he recognized by the king.
Now they are In the chief places in
fluencing all parts of the world, hav
ing the foremost nation of the time to
support them. All this occurs (B. C.
610) a quarter of a century after tho
decree of Cyrus to liulld the temple.
God Is making ready for the close of
the old dispensation and for the com-

What Is now known as "rng time" Is
by no means a nfodern discovery. Re
cent researches among music of the
last century show that It was known
in Italy more than a hundred years.
Such rhvthm was called nlla zoppa a
limping or lame style an appellation
which fitly characterizes Its present
peculiarities.

While an English choir was singing
tho supply of electricity gave out. The
singers, however, were well trained and
did not falter. The anthem, curiously
enough, was unexpectedly appropriate
to the occaslpn Gounod's "Send Out
Thy Light."

The many loveis of good chorus sing
ing had an opportunity on Mondny
evening of hearing the best chorus that
ever appeared on the Lyceum stage.
Miss lfrankie Hatha way, of
Sixteenth Street, Holland, Mich.,
says :
"I am twenlyone years old,
at sixteen I was pale and weak.
By the time I was nineteen years
old I was so weak I could not
walk across the floor. I was tcr
rihly emaciated and my skin had
lost all color. The doctor pro
nounced the disease anocmia.
Being advised to try Dr.Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People, I
nought a box, and before I had
taken all of the pills found that
they were doing me good. Appe
tite increased and the healthy
color began to show in my checks
and lips. I continued to use the
pills until I found myself perma
nently cured. Since then I have
had no return of my old trouble.
I know that Dr. Williams' I'inK
Pills for Pale People saved my life
and I believe that no other med
icine could have done it." front

SANITATION AND HUMAN LIFE.

Nowadays Cities Are Nearly
Healthy ns the Country.
In ti lectnit lecture on wlmt sanlta- i
tlou has done for human life Prof.
Hrewer of Vale university fiahl that j
no one doubts that human life hna
been iirolonKed by the application of (
science In the last fifty years, says tliu
Mlnlnjr ana Scientific Press. How (
much mathematically this amounts to
In years, In per cent., Is an. unanswer
able question. We can never havo the
data In flKtires. Kvon It wo had our
vital satlstlstles completed for that
period men would differ ns to the rela
tive values of the several fuetois In
this problem. Our ureat cities would
not exist they could not uxlst with
out the aids of science. We have l.a 1
the ancient Kgyptlan and Creek and
Koman civilizations, which wore- pa
gan, and later Christian rlvlllzntl jii.
and all were powerless to eonvort
practices. Uetween the ejildemlcs th.it
rnned from time to time nnd t- high
denth rate In the best years, the popu-
lntlon of Europe as a whole probably
scarcely Increased at all for i.OGo ur
1,200 years. This century came In
without a single city In Christendom
with 1.000.000 Inhabitants. Pails had
In 1800 but 518,000; London and the su- .
burbs, In 1801, 861,845. The other ureal
Kngllsh cities had less than 100,000.
Great cities could not endure then.
First, the people could not bo f. d.
Then, most of the food had to be pro
duced within twenty miles of the place
of consumption. Science has now made
It jHisslble to transport food half way
around the globe and has discovered
new methods of preservation ns well.
City population was not self-pcrrvtu-ntlng.
Man died off; tho death into
was continually high nnd from tliif to
time there was death liv usstl'.eneo
Kven where there were sewers tln-v
weio to drain the ground of water
rather than to carry away sawuge.
Now cltleB aro made nearly us healthy
