has consented to give a couis-e of lec

that he Is willing to do out of the city

we studied lust week, but he Institut

eminent scholnis. He wrote or supei
lsed tho writing of four books I.
Chronicles. II. Chionleles, Fnn an 1
Ksthei. These books contained an
epitome of history fiom Adam to his
own time. And yet, great as this mini
and wood as was his work, his pio

embairassecl doubtless either by the In
stability and lmmoinllty of the Jews
or the mullce and opposition of their
enemies . petlod elapsed dining

a third expedition, R. C 441, to supple

IMPURTFXITY. (Veises 4, fi and C)
This lecltnl lllleel the henit of Xehe
nilnh with sorrow, proof of his affec
tion for his people. He sat down nnd
wept nnd mom tied, probably observing
theotdlnaiy methods ot expressing
gile. employed In those days But his
son oiv wns not like thnt of those who
have no hope of bettor things (I Thes
salonlnns, Iv, ). After a time he
tinned to Clou for relief, and that In u
way alwuis appioprlate when groat
things nip to be uncleitnken Ho fast
ed, humbling himself nncl acknowledg
ing his own unworthlness Then he
ptnyed. His (list petition was for uuell
enco, as It he feared thnt the ear of
Ood might not be open unto his cry,
or, rather, as if the request he was
about to make was not worthy to be
heard. (Pioieibs. I, 2S ) It is not un
usual for n bin dened heart to feel thnt
Ood will be deaf nnd lndlffeient He
nppionuios this Impoitunltv, however,
iWth most appioprlate pleaellng "Lord
noil of hciuen, the gieat and tenlble, '
he cried, readying the nw ful mnjesty
of the Almighty, "thnt keepoth eovi li
mit nnd mercy," he added, fnlllug back
on the promises to Abmhani nnd the
tevelatlon to Moses (Fxodus, x, C )
COXFLSrilOX (Veises C nnd 7 )
Man Is u sinner. ie cannot lightly
pray without confession. Whoever
seeks the Lord without acknowledging
his fnult will bo l ejected. This was
the offense of the Phailsee (Luke,
Mill, 11 ) Rut he that confesses his
sins shall find meicy. (I. John, I, 1 )
Here Is a fundamental law of the spiil
tunl life, which Solomon recognized in
his piayer at the dedication of the tem
ple. (I. Kings, vlll. 3",) And Xehe
mlah undei stood that this was tne vvay
to the divine faior Ho Included him
self and his fathers house In the tians
giesslons which Isrnel had committed,
thnt hud brought upon them nil tho
eills by which they had noon adllcted.
Ills confessions weie In the aggiegnt',
yet with sullicient detail to be avail
able. The nation had dop.ii ted fiom
the c oinrnanelments (the decalogue);
the statutes (those civil nncl ectleslist
li al legulatlons made for the enfoiee
inent of tho commandments), and the
judgments (the decisions made bv the
constituted nutl'oiitlts) of Moses,
wnom Ood had made the national law
giver RFMLMIBRAXCF (Veisea S and 0 )
Confession alone, neoesaiy as It Is,
does not constitute pia.vei It Is not i
linn! but a piepaiatoi.i act. It Is unl
foimly accompanied and folloi.ed by
the hope of mercy, and that Is gt mind

This Is the right method of all prayer
It should proceed fiom u sense of sin

COMPASSION'. (Verse 10) The way
was thus fully prepaied. Xeheinluh
had complied with nil tho conditions of
u successful nppionch to the throne of
divine grace, conditions llxcel In the
nnture of splrltunl beings. Ho hnil
come a confessed sinner nniong n sin
ful people, making no apology for the
past, but teeognlzlng the Justice of the
penalty Inflicted, yet iclylng solely
upon the declarations of Ood mucin nt
the beginning of the nntlonnl history.
Intercession upon such tonus wns
therefore proper. With most beautiful
wolds N'ehemlnh begins, "these nre thy
sonants nnd people," a. form like to
that used by Moses. (Deuteronomy, Iv,
20) Alllleted though they were, sub
ject to n foreign power, the Jews who
were gnlhered in Jerusalem, n lom

ippiesented the chosen of the Lord ,
the children of the coienant by whom
Ood a will una to be accomplished.
This piosentntlon was eildently de
signed to awaken divine compassion

himself, to make u trip to Jerusalem
to set new influences at woik theie
for his people's good, and he asked
that iiid would Incline the king to

the assumption that the heal t ir n

fiom a doctilne held through all the
contuibs (Kta, v II. 27). even fiom
Abraham to Paul. (Acts, ill, 10) This
one f on tine of the prayer exhibits the
p'ltliollelty of Judaism, whose funda
mental thought was a deity of un

loked the Almighty and In ought upon

so that a good man might well doubt
that Ood would be metclftil to them,
second, the expeditions had previously
been sent with lovnl authotlty to io
bull'l the temple and the walls of Jeiu
salem, the ftiiluio of which might lead
one to question the wisdom of any fur
