Mr. Madison returned to Vcnnsylvnnln.
and was stationed at rarverton. which
took In Dallas and Mt. ZIon. He held
extra meetings at inch point with on
siderable success, especially nt D.ill.t.
Purine one night at Dallas ho almost
lost his strength In the aftermcetlnc
Kllsha Harris danced niouud him and
B.ild: r.loss God there Is another

time duilng that evening that th?
whole congrecatlon was moved toward

upon that charge that he attended the
"Wyoming semlnnry nt Klngton and
recited In the clas-sca He also took
private elocutionary lest-oni of 1'Mf.

bis family was all down with ihv
ngue during the whole year. Ills next
charge wns Forty-fort. While theie he
was Instrumental In building at Lu
zerne the Methodist Kpiscepal-rhurch,
which church has been enlarged and
beautified twice since that. While at
Forty-fort his children attended the
AVyomlng seminary at Kingston. He
was sent from Forty-fort to Lack
awanna 111 Irk chutch. Theie were re
vivals both at Lackawanna and Tay
lorvlllc, and as a. result of the Taylor-
vlllc revivals Taylorvllle became a sep
atato charge. At the clore of his ser
vices nt Lackawanna he went tn Dun
niore. Dunmorp at that time wns con
sidered a difficult station to serve, but
Mr. Madison was happy In his woik
there for three years. He had his sil
ver wedding there.Dr.J. 0. Kcknmn and
Hon. Lewis Ptiglie were present and
made remarks. Pauls were saved there
during his pastorale He went from
Dunmoro to Wayniart for the second
time, and followed New J. F. Warner,
now presiding elder of rtonesdale dH
trlct. He had conversions at
each point on the charges. He went
from Waymart to Moscow, where he
found a working chuich and a flourish
ing Sunday school. Many were saved
at Moscow and Rhode's hull, Kim
street. After spendlnK three warn at
Moscow he was snt to Pleasant
Mount, and there he encountered
snow dilfts, but the worst was nl
xvays found around the Methodist par
sonage. For some days he held to, tak?
out the ashes from the stoves and
bring in the water thrrugh the vide
window. At "White's Volley or. thU
charge he had an extensive revival of
udigion In mldMimner, and It con
tj lined during the bus;- season of the
year. His next char::e was Forest
City. Three other relicl'us bodies ver?
orgnnl2d during that time. He had
the church lot graded and needed dov n.
hid a good fence bull! Much credit
for this is due to J. D. Caryl, the sup
etlntendent. and William A. May, gen
eral superlntendant of the H. "". and
1. company, both now living In this
city A rtimber wore added to the
church, Ho was sent from thero to

pouring of the ppltlt both at Noble
town and Laanna. The wotk of grace
at l.aanna was general At the clovi
of hl pastoiate at Stciling he moved
to Bethany for the second time. Dur
ing a revival at I'ethany the son of a
clergyman of a sister denomination
was converted In the Methodist chu-eh,
which brought comfort to Ills aged
father and mother. At Aldcnvllle on
the same charge many heads of fam
ilies were saved. Mr. Madison then
moved to AVannmle In the AVyomlng
district nnd had success. He moved
from there to Yatesville and employed
his labors there and had souls for his
hire. At the close of his third year
n't Yates vllle he retired from the active
work on account of the poor health of
Mrs. Madison, and Is now living in
this city, al 1Y07 Monsey avenue.

INTRODUCTION The lebulldlng of
the walls gave security to tlio Inhabit
ants of Jerusalem, and commercial ac
tivity nnd prosperity followed. The
city speedily became on excellent mar
ket for the sale of commodities, and
trade was conducted with other cities
and countries. Hut, as is too frequent
ly the case, the tlnnnclal gains mndo
many Indifferent to their religious ob
ligations, nnd practices were Intioduced
contrary to the law or Moses. To
make matters worse Nehemlah, having
filled the time allowed for his mis
sion, returned to Artaxcrxes, king of
Babylon, leaving Jerusalem (Neh., xlli:
C). to be governed by one of the princes,
who was careless in his administra
tion. As a consequence many social
evils crept Into the city, unfavorable
to its welfare, which Nehemlah sought
to remove, when be came ngaln to
assume the government. One of those
evils will be considered In this Iessoji.
DESECRATION (veise 15)-Nehe-mltth
observed that the people did not
keep the Sabbath. On that day they
pursued their ordinary business, vio
lating the law of Moses (Ex., xx:S), and
disregarding the teachings of thp
prophets (Jer., xvll:21). Just outside
the city where were numerous vine
yards (John, xvl!l:l), some weie tread
ing wine presses.to which were biought
great clusters of grapes, while nil mnn
ner of burdens were laid on beasts
and carried into the city The day
was secularized, nnd untestralned truf
flo was conducted as on other days. At
such a spectacle the heart of Nehemlah
wns moved to the depths, nnd he spoke
plainly ngalm-t the abominable prac
tices, selecting as an opportune time
for his addresses, the days on which
victuals were sold, that Is, the market
days.when great numbers were brought
together.
FOREIGNERS (verse 16) Kin
David and his son. Solomon, made a
close alliance with Hiram, the king of
Tyre, by which the latter assisted In
constructing the temple at Jerusalem
(1 Chron., xiv:l), in the year 104.1 B.
C. Upon the restoration of the sacred
city five centuiies afterward these
heathen neighbors returned as traders.
Tyre was the chief city of Phoenicia on
the eastern const of the Mediterranean,
nearly eighty miles northwest of Jeru
salem. It was renowned for its arts
and artisans, and Its goods were car
ried Into all civilized countries. It was
also famous for Its fish, from which
Its names were derived, as Julian de
clares (See lib. xvlll). Nehemlah found
that these men of Tyie hnd come to
Jerusalem In his absence.bringlng the'r
wares and their Mali which were free
ly sold to the Jews on the Sabbath
ine noiy people on me noiy day were
trafficking with foreigners.
REMONSTRANCE (Verses 17 and
lS).-The lew of the Sabbath applied
not only to the chosen people, but to
strangers who might sojourn among
them (Deut.. v. 14). This requlremens
was prudential and wise. A guest

ought always to conform to (ho cus
toms of his host, and tho latter has a
duty to the former which he cannot
dlschaigc unless ha holds strictly to
his religious usages. This pross und
open profanation of the Sabbath in
Jerusalem removed the distinguishing
mnrk of Judaism and left a false im
pression upon the merchants (from
Tyro. Nehemlah therefore remon
strated with the nobles who had been
shamefully negligent nnd hnd allowed
such practices to abound In tho city.
He reminded them of the calamities
that had befallen Jerusalem In former
days, the result of God's dlspleasuro
for similar offenses (Jer., xvll:2), de
flating tlmt further Judgment Impend
ed If they continued In their coutse.
COMMANDMENT (verse 19) By
showing the evil and the consequences
of Snbbath desecration Nehemlah ap
pealed to the consciences nnd reason
of the nobles. Nothing is wild con
cerning thu response, which lliyy made.
Hut whatever mav have been their at
titude on the sublec t. whether they
weie convinced of the wiong or wheth
er they Justified the action of tho peo
ple, there was a i lass of persons for
whom sterner mensuies were neces
suiy. As civil goveiuot, Nehemlah en
forced tho law. n the sun was declin
ing on the sixth day of the week he
cominnndcd that the piles be shut and
that they should remain closed until
the Snbbath was passed; that Is, until
the setting of the sun on the seventh
day. This enactniei't merely re
stored the holy day (Lev., xxlll;32), by
forcibly suspending all business. That
there might be no violation of his order
tlio governor stationed watehmen ut
the smaller gates through which pe
destrians passed, to prevent any from
entering who bore burdens.
EVASION (verse 20). It Is an easy
matter to keep the letter of the law
nnd at the same time to disregard Its
spirit, thereby defeating tlm veryend
proposed. This course Is generally
pursued by those whose selfish pur
poses are In conflict with the righteous
will of the magistral"!). To cioso the
gates and shut out the hnlen beasts,
and to station men to Intercept bearers
of burdens, did not, therefore, prevent
Sabbath breaking. The merchants
from a distance came as before and
erected their booths outside tho walls,
and through all hours devoted to rest
and to worship they sold their wares
to those who came to them. Thus
many, If disposed, might go out of the
city, and the trading might all be done
except that the goods could not be de
livered within the walls until the Sab
bath was passed. Jerusalem would
Indeed be quiet, and Its shops night bo
closed, but around the walls there
would be the bustle and distraction of
the secular days of the week.
THREATS (Verse 21). Nehemlah
had the courage of a true reformer.
Having reasoned with the nobles and
Issued Instructions for the enforce
ment of the law, he was prepared to
deal summarily with a class of men
who determined not to yield unless
compelled. They were made to un

derstand that their gathering outside
of the wall was offensive to the au
thorities, an Injury to the city, n vio
lation of the law, nnd that It would
not be permitted. It they continued
they would be llnble to arrest and
punishment. This Is proof that the
magistrates of thoso days held that
their Jurisdiction extended for some
distance around the city, as indeed It
should, in order to preserve order. The
threat had tho desired effect. It was
apparent that a mnn who hnd pro
(.ceded thus far could not be trifled
with, and that he would employ nil the
forces at his command to execute his
will. As a result the merchants dis
appeared and the hours of the Sabbath
were afterward undisturbed, either
without or within Jerusalem.
SANCTIFICATION (Verse 22). The
law had triumphed. The civil magis
trate had compelled external obedience.
Willingly or unwillingly nil had yield
ed to keep the day holy. All this was
merely piellmlnaiy. The real observ
ance must be fioni choice a matter
of the hcait. Where the government
ended religion must begin. The Lc
vltes, who weie the ministers of re
ligion under the old dispensation, were
then set to perfoim their various func
tions. During the reign of secularlty
these men had fled from the city. The
insatiate thirst for money had deprived
them of their living and their office
(Neh. xllt:10). But they weie now re
stored, nnd their tasks were under
taken with new zeal, as the old-time
Sabbath calm once more settled upon
their beloved Jeiusalem. By appropri
ate services they cleansed themselves
and sanctified the day, and they also
took their seats In the gates, that the
people might not forget It was God'.-:
day. Thus this reform had passed
steadily on from one stage to another
until It was complete.
CONCLUSION. We seo here tho
value of a good ruler. The men who
had been entrusted with the adminis
tration of affairs In Jerusalem allowed
practices contrary to law. But Ne
hemlah on tawing up the reins of gov
ernment Instructed, remonstrated, ap
pealed and then, llnally, commanded.
Under him the evils were removed, and
the religious welfare of tho city was
promoted. The lesson shows only two
motives that prompted this good man
to this heroic conduct. He had respect
to the will of God, and he saw that
the good of the city was Inseparably
bound up In an obedience to the law
of God. This last conclusion was de
rived from tho study of history, for
the fathers of tho nation had sinned
in the same way and had been pun
ished. The same method might bo fol
lowed now. It Is a well known fact
that the violation of the Sabbath by
any people to whom it has been given
has been attended with serious results.
How far the example of Nehemlah
may bo followed by tho magistrate In
our time we hesitate to say. The Jew
ish state was theocratic and In no sense
a model for any modern government.
Hut the Sabbath is a perpetual institu
tion, deserving universal observance.

THE OWL AND HIS MATE.
Written for The Tribune.
Out In the wocd, In un ancient pine.
In tho midst of the deepest blmUe,
Tho owl dwells with his wlld-oycd mate,
lu u homo tliut iiuturo made.
Only when nlKht has cast Its gloom,
O'er forcht. field and tower,
And the moon lb wunlng uwuy In tho
West,
Tho owls forsalio their bower.
I
They dread the sound of tho birds' sweat
song,
And tho light of tho shining day;
But when naturo has sablod tho forest
wild,
They silently steal away.
Tho uprightly squlnel, the timid hare,
And thu birds that Ity by duy
Tlio creatures they Bhun In tho bright
uunshmu,
At night becomo their piey,
Down In the allcv, off the public uticut,
Scarce trod by the feet of men,
Where Innocent mortals never go
There festers crime In Its den.
The Jay Is weary and long Indeed,
For It moves when tho shndows fall,
To thu ganibler'H lair or tho harlot's
home,
From thu dreudful "holo In tho wall."
It avoids the gnze of a pure. Hwect faca
And hides from the Unlit of duy;
Those whom It shuns In tho daylight fair
At night become Its prey.
