In Hour Os Despair, Leader And Build ir Come To Jews Like Preseni Times Was Plight Os People In Old Judea, But Nehemiah Showed Them The VV ay Out — A Stirring Story From Bible Days.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Meet a gentleman, a patriot and a hero —the type of man who ever has been the deliverer and leader of his people. His portrait resembles that of George Washington, and of a long line of English noble men. Such as he is the expected man of the hour for our own needy day. This man’s name was Nehemiah, and he lived more than twentythree hundred years ago. He was an aristocrat, rich and highly placed, and his home was in a palace, the ruins of which I have visited. He stood close to the greatest king then reigning on earth, so he had power as well as position. Nobody could reasonably ask for more success than had come to Nehemiah. cup-bearer to Artaxerxes, king of Persia. But Nehemiah was a Jew: and he could not forget his own people. When news came to him of the desperate plight of Jerusalem, and of his compatriots who had returned to the Land of Promise, his very face showed his grief. He was the sort of really big man who gives earnest thought to the people’s welfare. Thank God, there always have been such. He Did Something About It As Armenians and Assyrians in our western world grieve over the misfortunes of their kindred abroad and saerificially send them aid, so Nehemiah mourned over the sufferings of his people in Judea. Even the king noticed his altered looks, and asked the reason. Nehemiah s worrying hau not been vague and footless sentimentality; he had carefully thought out a plan for helping. So he boldly asked the king permission to go to Jerusalem and for authority to deal with the situation. All honor to the man who, iu an emergency, does something about it. He is of the Nehemiah breed. Walk Around The Walls Since the capture of Jerusalem b'yT'hc British, the walls of Jerusalem have been so repaired that anybody may walk on their top, in a complete circuit of the city. Not so in Neheniiah's day, when he set himself secretly, as his first task, to circumambulate the city. He was the sort of hard-hearted person who looks up facts for himself. He found the going hard, for the walls were in ruins, with all the gates destroyed. Worse yet, he saw the people $«««*««* * The International Sunday School Lesson for December 8 is "Nehemiah Rebuilding The Wall of Jerusalem.” —Nehemiah 4:6-9, 15-21. « # * » « * » * ««»»«**«

poor and discouraged, and exploited by the rich pobles. Bad as was the case of the city's ramparts, the . lot of the human beings was still . more pitiable. Then Nehemiah made himself known. He fired the hearts of the people with a renewal of their old purposes. Drastically, he abolished their social and economic abuses, ending the ususry under which they groaned. High and low were ' inspired to rebuild Jerusalem's walls. Doubtless this incident was the basis of William Blake’s lines, a fitting battle hymn for the better day, which the English love to sing: “I will not cease from mental flight Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, Until we have built Jerusalem. In England's green and pleasant I' land.” Self Interest and Public Service With a genius for organization, aud a deep insight into human mo- , tives. Nehemiah set the people to building, each over against his owu He was not dealing with , angels, but with ordinary men and , women, in whom self-interest was strong. He made plain the individual advantage of the public project; and that a tnan best serves himself when he works for the i common cause. ‘ Every word spoken for justice and righteousness, every vote cast ' for the common welfare, every dol lar given for real relief, every service rendered in neighborliness, is at the same tiufe an effort put forth i i' in behalf of one's god, one's home' . and one's family. It was the proud and idle seifists of France before the revolution, and of Russia be- j i fore the rise of the bolsheviks, who ( brought complete disaster ft> them I selves, as well as to their countries. ! |No prosperous person today can i afford, even on the lowest plane |of thinking, to withhold his best i I powers from lire common weal. i Fighting Ahead! This is no pacifist Lesson. It is ' i full of fighting, in the name of the ■ Lord and of the defense of home. 'Nehemiah turned every citizen of . Jerusalem into a soldier, as well as into a worker. Foes lay in wait on ■ every hand, ruthless iu the use of any weapon that would hinder re- ' form and recovery in Jerusalem. Il is foolish to assume that everybody favors a good cause because i it is good. Sooner or later, every progressive movement runs up against active opposition that calls for fighting. So Nehemiahs Jews made their i prayer and set their watch, in true ■i faitn and works—the twin wings 'by which every life and project i i rise. With trowel and sword the rebuilding of the walls went for- , ward. Workers were all armed, and

behind them were set more fully ' equipped warriors. 1). HELLER What a loader they had! —a very general for organization, a prophet! for inspiration, a Spartan for self denying industry. Out of his owu resources the new governor supported himself and his household. Always the sense of God was uppermost in his thoughts and speech; under Nehemiah, the people were uot only getting back their city, but also their Lord. Is it any wonder that'"the people : had a mind to work?” Whenever a great leader arises, he finds such a popular response that he wius despite everytning. Beware Os Ono! When Sanballat and Gesheni and Tobiah could not match Nehemiah and his army of workmen in open warfare: they tried to get him down on the plains of Ono for a [ conference, meaning to assassinate him on the way. Some of remember Moody's great sermon on this passage, as he rang out Nehemiahs reply "I can't come down! I'm too busy! I can't leave the work to I talk!” Nowadays, when the plains of Ono are the favorite resort of! churchmen and statesmen, for in- : I terminable conferences, it is well to recall Nehemiah. Not by talk, talk, talk; agreement, arrangement j compromise, is the world's work and the Church’s work to be done, but by every man building over against his own house. For so the walls of Jerusalem were rebuilt.
