Jeremiah 29:13, i God loves men and takes delight in blessing them and prospering ,thera on their way. When He must punish them, it is a source of grief to His Father-heart. ! That fact probably explains why jthe period of the captivity of the Jewish people is passed over in silence in the historical accounts jof the Bible. We do know that prophets were sent to minister to jthem and to keep alive their h?pe of restoration to their own land. When the Jewish captives were ready to return to their land, the silence o sacred history is broken, and we learn of their experiences in rebuilding the temple and the wall of Jerusalem from the books of Ezra and Nehemiah,. , Many and varied were the oh.-1 stacks, but in due time they were surmounted, and by God's help the work was accomplished. Now the time had coie for a spiritual revival, and God had His man and His message ready for that hour. Ezra, the scribe, -was God's servant in bringing the Word of God to the people. The elements of success for any revival are found here. T were I. An Open Book (8:1,2). The Word of God is quick and powerful and sharper than a twoedged sword (Heb. 4:12). That roignty weapon ernes not need any apology or defense. It needs use The soldier in battle unsbeatl.s his sword or fires his gun. He does not send pamphlets to his enemies telling them what an effective weapon he has he uses it and gets results. There is a place for discussjorraffij' instruction regarding thif authen-4icifcy-3nd dependability of the Bible, but if we make it a substitute for using the Word, we are on the wrong track. Ezra brought out the Inw of, God and opened it to all the pcbple. That is what we need to do today. Open up God's Word and let it do its powerful work. II. An Attentive People (8:3, 4a, 5, 6). The Word must be beard 1 - ! as preached. Good listeners important as good preachers. "": open ear and the open hcurt complete the ministry of the open Book. Ncie the reverence of the p"ple (v. 53. When the Bool; was opened. they stood up a token of honor. Wc do not worship the Bible, but we should show far more reverence toward it and its message than is ordinarily the case. This is God's Word, and man should approach it reverently. Nole the spirit' of worship in verse 6. Ee sure that any people coming to God's Word in that spirit will receive a blessing. We shail see in a moment how wonderfully God met them, but first we shall note an additional reason for tf?e splendid response, of the people. We have before us the open book and an attentive and reverent people. What more is needed? HI. An Intelligent Ministry (3:8. 12). There is nothing that any man can add to God's Word, but he can, by the grace of God and the illumination of the Holy Spirit, be used in opening vp the meaning of the Word. That kind of an exposition of Scripture is the very essence of real preaching. Topical discussions have their value. There is a place for book reviews and the presentation of social problems. But the .pulpit should be primarily and always the place where God's Word is expounded. Note that the' law of God wan read "distinctly" (v. 7). How important! That calls for preparation and prayer. That precludes tiie casual selection of a Scripture passage in the last minute before service. Then observe that "they gave the sense, so that they understood the reading" (v. 8). That takes more preparation and much prayer. The teacher or preacher needs illumination so that the truth may be clearly understood and 1 presented. Everything was now ready for: IV. A Spiritual Response- (8:12; 9:1-3). Revival came and what a revival! Tears and laughter mingled. There was sorrow- because o sin, and joy because of God's forgiveness. There was both fasting and feasting. God was fa their midst, working through His Word as it was given out by His messengers. It makes one downright hungry to read an account like this, hungry for a similar manifestation in- our - day of spiritual deadness. God is giving this kind of revival here and there where people are ready to go 'His way. The writer of these notes has only recently been in such revivals. .Why noi have them everywhere an our land?) Yes, in your

Anions' the citations which com prise the Lessor-Sei'mon is the following from the Bible: "Lord. the? "hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto thi'ir children. And let the beauty of the Lord our God he upon ua" (Psahnrt 00:1. 2, 10, 17). "Know ye that the Lord he if.

, His name was Kelly Ingram, he was Alabama's soil ( And he whistled "Yankee Doodle" as he stood beside his gun, There was laughter in his makeup, ttieic was manhood in his face And he knew the best traditions and the courage Of his race; Now there s not a heart among us but should swell with loyal pride When he thinks of ' Kelly Ingram and the splendid Way he died. " - -V ,' - .iv:V -', " On the swift destroyer "Cassion" he was merely gunner's mate But up there today 1 fancy lie is standing with the great. On that grim day last. October his position on the craft Was that portion of the vessel which the sailors chriiten aft; There were deep sea lombs beside him to be dropped 'upon the Hun Who makes womenfolk his victim and then gloats in what lie's 'done. . , . . From tlm look-out came the warning, 'came the" cry all sailors fear, A torpedo was approaching and the vessel's doom was near; Ingram saw a streak of danger but he $fav n tilth more, A greater, menace faced them ihan the missile had in store,, If those deep sea bombs beside him were not thrown beneath' the waves, Every man aboard the "Cassion" soon would find a watery grave. It was (teeth- for him to linger but he figured if he ran And ((Hit his post of duty 'twould be death for every man; . So he stood at his position, threw those depth bombs overboard And when that torpedo struck them, he went forth to meet his ' Lord. - Oh, I don't kJtoiv how to ray it but this whole United States Should remember Kelly Ingram, he who died to save his mates.
