Nehemiah in captivity hearing that his people in Jerusalem are in a bad way. begs the king to allow him to return to Jerusalem. V.l. ' But It came to para, that when Sanballat heard that we buihled the wall, he was wroth and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews." Sanballat was a crafty leader of the Samaritans who were enemies of the Israelite*. Whenever believer* undertake m earnest to do something for God. enemies become concerned. V 2 "And he spake before ills • brethren and the army of Samarie. and said. What do then* feeble ■ Jews? Will they fortify themselves? Will they sacrifice? Will they make an end in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned?' - The enemies resorted to ridicule, a favorite weapon of the Christian enemy. Practically every human advance has i>een made in spite of ridicule. V 3. "Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him. and lie said. Even that which they build, if a fox go up. be shall even break down their I stone wall." Slurring and slandering the people of God hast always been a favorite sport of Satan. Beware of those who belittle the children of God V.l. "Hear, o our God. for we are despised; and turn their re-i proached upon their own heads, and give them for prey in the land of captivity Nehemiah lived at a time when the rule was "an eye for an eye. a tooth for a tooth.” Nehemiah prayed according to the knowledge he had. Christ taught that men' should pray for peace, good will. : and forgiveness. Instead of the prayer .n verse 5. "Forgive them, , for they know not what they do" , is tlie New Testament Christian's prayer V 6. ".-Co built we the wall; and I all the wall was joined together I unto the half thereof; for the' ! people had a mind to work." Neh-j j vmiaii brought inspiration to the I people in Judah who became co I earnest even rebuilding the walls'

Oup '9 i "ImHhKb "Why were the saint*, saints? Bet ause they were cheerful when it was difficult to be cheerful, patient when it wa* difficult to be patient, and becauM* they pushed on when they wanted to *tand still, and kept silent when they wanted to talk and were agreeable when they wanted to be disagreeable.

I set lu the lower places behind the wail, and on the higher places. 1 even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows." We should be prepared to fight the good fight of faith as well as lay bold on eternal life. With the swbrd c«f the Spirit and other weapon** of our spiritual warfare we should unitedly build for God. V. 14. "And ! looked, and rose up. ami said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people. Be ye not afraid of them; remember the Lord which is great and terrible, and tight for yonr brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.” Fight, pray, believe, remember the Lord is for us. with us. and in us and more than all that can be against us. "Remember the Lord.” and "Be not afraid ” V. 21. ‘‘And so we labored in the work; and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared." There are few people who would not be healthier and happier and live longer. if they "had a mind to work'' instead of a mind to get out of work V 22. “Likewise at the same time, said I unto the people. Let every one with his servant lodge in Jeru-' salem. that in the night they may! l be a guard unto us. and laltour on the day.' We should be subject lu Gods call to duty twenty four hours each day. V 23 "So neither I. nor my brethren. nor my servants, nor the men of the guard which followed me. none of im put off our clothes. J saving every one put them off for! washing.” The work of God is so I important and so pressing anti the, | opposition is so determined that ( | there is no time to be wasted. V 15. "And so the wall was fin-| (shed in the twenty and fifty day' <>! th« month Eiui. in fifty and two, , days. ' Nehemiah was a successful leader because he worked with his men. not as their boss but a* a co-worker. V 16. "And it came to pass, when all our enemies heart! thereof, and all the heathen thaf were altout us saw these things, they were much cast down In their own eyes; ' for they perceived that thia work was wrought of Our God." Nehemiah gave full credit to God and that ; made him the greater leader that he was.

Student youth (enters In thirtyfive colleges and universities across the country will i>e establish ed by the Student Service Commission of the Nations! Lutheran Council. This student ministry is to combat “the pagan influences on the college and university esmpuses of th* United Btstes." Excavations in the vaults of St. | Peter's Basilica which were slowed down during the war have been stepped up. Immediate purpose of the exacavations is to facilitate visit* to the sacred grottos by pilgrim* during the Holy Year of 1950. A dopr will be opened in the ouUtide wall* of the basilica to permit direct gcce**i to pagan and Christian burial places under the great church. 0 Lesson Prayer Lesson prayer: We pray for a vision of the real work of God that ought to be done right where we are. Then seeing clearly our Christian duty, grant that we may be so inspired in accomplishing our task that we will not be turned aside by any appeals Grant that in the work of God we learn more and more how to work together with l all other followers of our Lord. 0 • Clerious Says: Clericus ways: "True unselfishness does not consist in a low opinion of one's self but is rather a matter of being true to the higher self while tossing the lesser self aside. The self which Nebemiah cherished centered around the high valucw of manhood, reverance and honor and tourage " 0 [Home 7sonjj r VISION The story is told of a loaf of bread that fell from a baker's basket When It hit the pavement a crumb broke off and lay beside It. Almost instantly three sparrow* made a swoop for the crumb, and when the contest was over, two of the bird*, flew away without a bite while the other carried off a meager breakfast. The loaf was untouched in the frenzy. Only the crumb bad seemed a worthwhile prize to the hlrd(. Just a little wider range of vision. and a little less greed, and each bird could have lieen more than satisfied Men. like birds, guarrel over trivialities, and in the heat of doing so let life's bigger, mor* lucrative prise* escape them unnoticed.
