Creamed Comments on the Sunday School Lesson. Esther's Zeal for her People. Bather 4:16-17; 9:2022, 25. 27 for Sunday 13. The purpose of the book of Esther Is to show how the Jews were providentially protected although doomed to death by their enemies. V. 19. “Again Eether spake unto Hsiack, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai.” Esther, a Jewess, after the king nad divorced bis wife Vashti, was chosen as bis wife because of her brillance and beauty; Esther kept in close touch with the Jews In eiile sending a message to her-cousin, Mordecai, who held an important position under the king. Good people most work together. V.ll. “All the king's servants, and the people of the king's prov. Inces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come to the king in the inner court, who Is not called, there is one law to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden scepter, that he may live; but 1 have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.” To defeat a weil-planned plot worked out by Haman, chief counsellor to the king, who was jealous of Mordecai. Mordecai also worked out a plan to defeat the one of Haman Esther at the risk of her life was to make the appeal to the king. Doing God's will sometimes calls for a death venture. VVs. 12.13. “And they told to Mordecai Esther's words. Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more '.han all the Jews.” Here was an appeal to the patriotism, unselfishness. bravery and faith of Esther. V.ll. "For it thou altogether hold thy peace at this time, then shall there an enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed; and who knowest whether thou art come to the kingdom for such an hour as this.” God's purpose can not be defeated; if one worker falls another will be raised to take his place. Vs. 15,16. “Then Esther bade them return to Mordecai with this Oup Preacher JI BATS “Did you ever see a bee take revenge and sting you; and do you know that when a bee so uses Its siiager it diet? Did you ever aay stinging things aixwt another, and did you know that when thia was done something beautiful la your life died and yon ever after felt mean and ugly? The bee was made : to carry boaey, and you ware crea- : ted to sweeten the lives of others.” — Clerious Says: Clerics* says: "Ood blesses aatloM that are righteous, sad sooner or later doom falls on unrighteous nations It is a highly patriWhatever direction it Aay take, true patriotism always puts the!

answer: Go gather together all the Jews that are present in Sbuehan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat or drink for three days, night or day; I also and my maidens shall fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king which to not according to the law; and if I perish. 1 perish.” White the word "God" is not mentioned, it is implied since there was prayer and fasting. Esther used every means possible to do the will of Ood; something always happens when one does his best for God. Eether was perfectly unselfish; selfishness is the aoorco of irrellgion. V. 17. “So Mordecai went his way and did all that Esther had commanded of him ' Mordecai was sure that deliverance would come although just how he did not know. Vs. 20,21. "And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both nigh and far. to establish this among thsm. that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth of the same, yearly. These two special days called "Purim," are commemorated to this day by the Jews In memory of Esther's deliverance. V. 22. “As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to joy. and from mourning unto a good day; that they should make them days of feasting and joy. and of sending portions one to another and gifts to the poor.” Here was an occasion of turning something hateful into something severed. It reminds us of the transformation of the! gibe "Christian" into an honored name, and of the glorification of the hated cross into the symbol of man's salvation. Vs. 2d,27. "Wherefore they called these Purim afier the name ot pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter and of that which they ( had seen concerning this matter. ■ and which had tome unto them, the Jews ordained and look upon them, and upon their seed, and all such as joined themselves onto them, so as it should not fail, tiwt they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year." This deliverance from enemies was so appreciated that a continual song of triumph was to be on the Jews' program. Songs ot praise help to keep going the religion of God. best interest ot the people and the country ahead of personal internets and advantages' Lesson Prayer Lesson prayer: We pray for Esther's seal for the kingdom of God; a xeal that wfll cause us to risk our lives In making God supreme and uaing all the meains at onr command to further the interests ot His kingdom Sunday School Lesson Discussion Questions Discussion Questions os the Bunday School Lesson.

"Almighty God we make our earnest prayer athat Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy holy protection; and that Thou wilt be most graciously pleased to dispose us to justice and to love mercy and to clothe ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind which waa characteristic of the divine Author of our blessed religion.” 0 | Church j WHAT HAS CHRISTIANITY CONTRIBUTED TO CIVILIZATION?
