A xvelcome to all. . Stmday-Sciiool Lesson for Rebuilding BY J. E. GILBERT, D. D., LL. D., Secretary of American Society of Religious Education. CONTUXT After his earnest prayer for guidance nnd help (see last lesson), N'ehemlah, nt a favorable oporiunlty, solicited nnd secured the king's per mission to go to the relief of Jerusa lem. He cnrrled with him letters in structing the keepers of the forest t furnish such timber as might be need ed In the proposed building. Shortly after his arrh'nl he made an Inspection of the city by night, n time xvhen he would be best able to Judge Its de fenses, thus gaining a personal ltnoxvl edge of the actual conditions. The rulers of the city xvere then called to gether nnd urged to build the walls. The response xxns encouraging. Th high priest set the example, ore'Ctlng the sheep gate nnd consecrating It, and other parties selected other sections, cnrrylng forxvnrd the work by easy stages on tho co-opet alive plan. Princes nnd the common people united their labors xvlth great unanimity and xvlth much of the old-tlmo devotion. RNKM1KS (Verses 7 und S) Durlnir the earlier stages of this work, the ' builders xvere mocked by their heuthen neighbors (Vs. 1-7). Ah several lire- I Vlous attempts since the time til' Zerub- ' babel had failed they regarded this ns u foolish undertaking. But, as tho ' xvnlls continued to use, the reviling ' was turned Into bitter and concerted . hostility. Sanhallnt, the chief of the Sainat ltuns, who had been refused the privilege of co-operation In the prei- vlous centttrv (K7.rn. tv. 3, and Tohlah, I king of th" Ammonites, who had been j for centuries enemies f the Jews t2 ' Kings xxlv, 2), led off In this oppimi- . tlon. A lentruo xvas formed to fight against Jerusalem, and prevent the ' completion of the work. Four nations 1 xx ere Joined the Samaritans, the Am monites, the Arabians, nnd the Ash doltes one on tho north, one on the south, one on the east, and one on the xvenl, thereby completely surround ing the sacred city. WKFUNSR (Verse 9) -This conspir acy might have been expected (Psalm lxxxlll, 6). It has ever been the policy of the wicked to oppose the purposes of the good (John xv, 1!'). Besides, If the Jews prospered, the surrounding i peoples knew that their e-vll doing-1 would be exposed, nnd tlvdr plana ' xvouitt no rrusiraieu ii'saim it. i-;i). u Is probable, therefore, that Xehemtali and his associates xvere neither sur prised nor disheartened on account of this league, but they addressed them selves at once to measures of defense (Psalm xxvii, 3). Opposition always brings out the true iiuiultlc.s of a man, and It xvas so on this ccvuslon. Two methods xvere employed to meet the emergency. "We made our prayer unto CJod," says the historian. ThU xvas the most appropriate beginning One comes to his best only by prayer. Whatever other result thete may be of Ids petitions he Is strengthened by laying hold of the tuHnlle. But prayer xvas supplemented by providen tial measures. Watchers xvere sta tioned by day nnd by night upon the xvull. WHAKN'KSS (Verse 10) It must not SSASftASS(ftAftSSftS0i Methodist Episcopal.

November 12 the Walls of NEH. 4: 7-H8, be thought that nil the Jexvs xx-ero courageous and confident. The mis fortunes of n century could not bo forgotten. Many, looking about them, found discouragement on every hand. The ruins of the old walls and of tho buildings which their fathers had oc cupied xvere scattered around like rub bish, xvhlch It nppenred no one could remove. Besides, the men of strength, who had borne the burdens, xvere be coming weak, unable longer to raise the great stones even with such ma chinery as they had, nnd deposit them In their appropriate places. And Jinlah the foremost of the tribes, In whom centered all hopes (Oen. xllx, 10), from whom ought to have been expected most service Judith grew faint-hearted, confessed weakness, and xx'ns ready In abandon the enterprise. It possible this condition xvns cause for greater anxiety than the presence of external foes (Matt, x, 30). INTHIOUK. (verses 11 and 12.) While these discouraging words xvere spoken within the city the enemies without devised their plans of mis chief. They determined not to attack tlie place, knowing that the result would be uncertain, but to steal In iiuletly, distributing themselves about the city, and at an appointed tlm" or signal to rise up together nnd slaugh t"r the people. That was a favurllo mode oj warfare In ancient times. To come unawares upon an adversary and deal a sudden nnd fatal blow xvas a proof of cunning rather than of brax--cry. Fortunately this Intrigue xvus freely discussed by the enemy and be-i-ame known thereby to the Jexvs who lived outside the city, nnd they came In nnd reported to their brethren xvhat they had heard. It seems also that they who gave the warning, xvhlle they did it In n friendly spirit, felt that the city was In great peril. COrilAOK. (Verses 13-14). A stout heart beat In the breast of s'ehenihih, and he proved himself eiiBil to the occasion. As a precaution ugalst sur prise ftom any foes lurking within the city, he re-arranged the entire popu lation on the Inside of the xvnlls, grouping them by families. In this xvny they could at any time determine xvhether any strangers xvere present. He also put swords, spears and bows In the hands of the men, and directed them to fight, if attacked, for their xvlves, their daughters and their sons. The wisdom of this plan limy be read ily seen, for every man xvlll defend his own household. To strengthen all for the possible conflict he urged them not to be nfrnid. (Xuinb. xlv:9) but to remember that Ooil was their deliverer and to trust In Him. In this he imi tated Moses, (Detlt. 1:29-30) and th" dilef captain of David. (2 Sam. x:12.) At the same time there must have been onklnnlcd In all hearts a feeling of deeper loyalty to the home. UNITY. (Verses 15-10). Whenever a community Is menaced by n com mon enemy and plans are laid and ef forts put forth for the general defense, the people forget their little differences and unite xvlth one heart, (Lam, 111:11) lAAAAA-AAAAArf'.AAAAAAAA Presbyterian.

For this reason nflllctlon, xvhether present or prospective. Is a blessing In dis guise (Matt. lv : 12). Wherefore, It came to pass that the Jews, who, a short time before, xvere timid and dis tressed, e-xpeetlng their enemies to come upon them and overpower them In their xvenkness, ns soon ns they had been cast Into nn urmed camp or families, xvere filled xvlth hope, ready to resume their duties. Their Im proved spirit, moreover, wns known to those who xvere without, anil they, linditig Hint their counsel had come to naught, made no further demonstra tions against the city. Besides, there xvere regular relays, half of the men bore nrms nnd the other half xvrought In the work. Behind all xvere tho rulers, giving orders and encourage ment. HtULDEHS (Verses 17-1S). Al though mattets had settled doxvn into apparent security under the new regu lations. Jerusalem xvas still exposed. The ullled forces of the enemy, hav ing abandoned their first plan of nt tack, might determine to take tho city by assault. Before- the xvalls xvere finished they might be scaled or brok en doxvn, nnd an entrance forced. Tei provide ngnlust such u contingency Xohemlnh armed all the workmen, so Hint ut any moment the builders might be transformed Into soldiers. The condition xvas not unlike that of the Pilgrims In New England, xvho carried their guns to light the Indians, xvhlle they erected their dxvelllngs or attended Divine worship. Moreover. city and the enemy might attack any as the xvall extended round the entire part xvithout warning, a trumpeter xx-us stationed to give the signal, so calling the men from other parts. Under such circumstances of discomfort and unx lety the xveoiiH passed and the work progressed us rednted In the further narrative of this book. It xvas a. time of patience, of heroism and of faith. BEFLKCTIONS. These are the most salient points In the lesson: 1. No opposition xvlll prove any real hind rance to us, In our endeavors to do good, If we be led by It lo a more simple confidence In God, and to the more diligent use ef proper means of obtaining success. "If Ooil be feir us, who- can be against us?" Howex-er craftily the plots of opposers are laid. He Is able to bring their counsels to naught. 2. If our enemies cannot frighten us from our duty, or decelxv us into sin, or find us unwatchful, they cannot hurt us. When ministers of re ligion add the example or diligence, courage, and self-denial to their ex hortations, others xvlll be stirred up to united effort. 3. Every true Chrlstlnn 4s both a laborer and a soldier, xvork- Ing xvlth one hand, lighting xvlth the other, called by the sound of the gospel alternately to his xvork and to the con flict. Widely dispersed In our several employments we form one army. an. I must be ready to unite against the common enemy In xvhatever place tin? assault Is made. We must learn to labor and te fight.
