Tho Journey occupied four months and he arrived at Jorusatom In tho first day of tho fifth month, Ab July-Aug. (In 1911 tho nrst day of Ab was August 6; In 1916 It will be July 12.) I PLACE Shushan and Jerusalem. nULEHS Artaxcrxcs, Emperor of Per sian Empire; Nehemiah, governor of Judca; Ezra, tho scribe, the religious leader of the people In Babylon. When the right tlmo came, and No hemiah's heart was burning with sop row and desire, he found "opportuni ties concealed in apparent hindrances." It was dangerous to show sorrow in the presence of the king. Even a mod ern autocrat like Louis XIV. expected everybody's face to shine if ho did but appear, and how much more an Artax crxcs? What, wear a sorrowful, face when he was presiding over Joy and gayety, gliding them with his pres ence? If ho had ordered this melan choly vlBage away to prison or death, It would havo been Justlfledby prece dent. A gloomy face might mean dis affection against tho king. Tho light of his favor ought to be enough to drivo all sadness away. Nehemiah had hitherto been able to keep a smiling faco when before the king; but one day at a superb banquet, when the queen was din ing with her husband, nmld gold plate, gorgeous silk dresses of every hue, tnnrblo pillars, fountains, music, lights, sultanas, courticrB resplendent as the Bun, and all worshiping their sun Ar taxerxes, smiling when he amlled, his sorrow shone through his face in spite of himself, so that tho ktng no ticed it and said: "Why is thy countenance Bad, see ing thou art not sick? this is nothing olso but sorrow of henrt." Then he was very soro afraid, and Bald unto the king, "Lot tho king live for over: why should not my countenance be sad, when tho city, tho place of my fa thers' sepulchres, lieth waste, and tha gates thereof aro consumed of fire? If it please the king, and if thy serv ant have found favor in thy eight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it." The kind was pleased to grant his request, mado him tho Tlrshatha, or governor of Judea, "royal agent" or "plenipotentiary," with full powers. He traveled to Judea in state, with a military guard of cavalry, and with let. ters to tho rulers o ftho neighboring provinces to give him whatever he noeded for his work. Nehemiah was very wise. He lay quiet for throe days, doing nothing, but learning everything. He showed no credentials, he proposed no plans, he told no one what he hoped to do. His first business was to learn tho wholo situation, tho feelings of tho people, who would oppose, and who would help, how ablo tho peoplo wero, what obstacles must bo overcome. ' Nehemiah met the rulers, nobles, priests and peoplo, and told them of his purpose in coming, how he had learned of their need, how he had wept and fasted and prayed, and how God had heard his prayer and caused the great emperor to favor his plans, give him permission to come, and au thority, with orders for the surround Jng rulers to give the needed help. He told them of his midnight investiga tions. The business side of religion should be done as Nehemiah did it in the most skillful and ideal business man ner. Nehemiah had a layman's good sense In religion. Walls were neces sary to the safety of the city. They wero also necessary to true religion. The division of labor, tho noble com-, petition, the interest in their work that kept them from taking time to even put off their clothes, the giving each his own work, and over against his own house, tho union of watching and praying and working, the working to gether of old and young, rich and poor, form a real master-stroke of genius." The wall was parceled out among 44 working parties. It was like tho re building of the walls of Athens after tho invasion of Xerxes, llko the build ing of the wallB of Edinburgh after the battle of Flodden. This (plan made each ono moro earnest and faithful as ho saw what others wero doing, it ani mated tho work with a rioblo emula tion, and a personal pride. Seo how fast my work goes on! See how well my piece Is done! Now, my sons, gird up your tunic, or Rephalah tho son of Hur will get ahead of us. Truo emulation is to do better than we have done; to seek, not to get beyond others, ,but to rise to tho best possl ble for us; and to bo inspired to this by seeing what others havo done. Besides the hostility of the Samar itans the Jews themselves wero becom ing worn out with tho fatigue of such strenuous work. No good goes on to success without meeting obstacles. Evil does not fall without a battle. It throws slander, ridicule, treachery, conspiracies, Influ tnce, discouragements, every possible hindrance, in the way of reform. Even some of the Jews were arrayed against their brethren. Thoy planned to tako Nehemiah and tho city by surprlso slay the workers, and thus put a stop to the work, but the answer was watch lng and prayer, DISTEMPER In fill its forms nmnng all necs of horses,' rr well ns dogs, cured and others in samo stnble prevented from having the diw,a with Sl'OUN'S DISTKMPEll CURB.
