Politics Not a Qualification Politics Is to bo put: out of tho ques tion when it comes to tho manage ment of tho flftcon stato institutions under tho direction of tho state board of control. When tho legislature In 1013 cre ated tho board of control and placed nil of tho stato Institutions for tho caro of tho criminal, tho Insane, tho sick nnd tho dependont under its man agement, it struck a body blow at ono of tho biggest bits of patronago con nected with tho stato administration. "Politics don't enter In tho employ ment of assistants and superintend entii at tho stato homes any moro," said Gono Mayflold, the chairman of tho board. "Wo novor ask an appli cant for a Job at this institution what his political affiliation may bo or what his religion. Wo aro intorestod only in ono thing, nnd that Is his capabili ties for tho pcaco which ho seeks. I, as chairman of this board, know thoro is only ono standard in securing em ployment at a stato institution. The applicant must sntlsfy tho board ho is competent to handle tho Job." Incidentally tho board of control gives duo credit to tho now system In keeping down tho cost of running tho stato institution In thoso times of high prices. Although foodstuffs and practically ovorythlng olso has doubled slnco tho war, tho board has beon ablo to got along on practically tho samo appropriation ns It had before tho outbreak of tho strugglo.

LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 11 LESSON TEXT-Nehemlah 1. GOLDEN TEXT-"Wliatsocver wo ask, wo receive of liltn, becauso we keep 111 commandments, and do theso things that nro incasing in ins Bigiu. 1 jonn s:a. Some twelve or fourteen years nftcr tho revival of the worship of .Tehovnh I under the administration of Ezra, Nc hcmliih led n company to Jerusalem to restore tho city walls and civil author ity. Tho walls and gates of the city hnd lain In ruins ever since they wero broken down by Nebuchadnezzar. In this condition tho remnnnt of tho Jews who had gono back to Jerusalem wero exposed to tho dangers of as snults from the surrounding enemies. Not only wns this exposure detrimen tal to the peace nnd comfort of tho people, but It was n matter of sevoro reproach to them (v. 3). Nehemlalt wno n man of strong character. Though occupying n position of high honor nnd responsibility In the very center of the great heathen cnpltol, the desire to honor God was uppermost In his hunrt. He Is nn example to all young men, demonstrating to them thnt It Is pos sible to bo true to God regardless of the environment In which he may bo compelled to llvo. In order for n mnn to thus stnnd, his life must be rooted In Christ, and these roots our faith must ho watered and kept nllvc through vital communion with God lu prayer nnd study of Ills Holy Word. I. Nchemlah Learns of the Afflic tion and Reproach of the Returned Remnant in Jerusalem (vv. 1-1). 1. Tho time' (v. 1). It wns In n winter month, November or December, In the 20th yenr of Artaxorxes. lie was engaged In the performance of his nccustomed duties as cup-benrer to the king, when the news enme to him of the deplorable condition of Jeru salem nnd the remnnnt who hnd gono there. 2. The occasion of (vv. 2, 3). The visit of Nelicmliih's brother nnd certnln men of Judtih made It possible for him to Inquire concerning the state of tho remnant nnd tho conditions of Jeru salem. They Informed him thnt they were In great affliction and reproach. 3. The effect upon Nehemlnli (v. 4). He was greatly moved by the story of the distress of his brethren. Thouch occupying n position of honor, nnd en joying nil thnt henrt could desire, ho keenly took the misfortune of his brethren to henrt. Ho not only shed tenrs of sympnthy, but took these bur dens In prayer to God. This Is the proper wuy to sympathize with the un fortunate. It Is mnnly to weep with those in distress, nnd to pray for those who have need. Jesus wept over Jerusalem nnd prayed for his own. Nehemlah exhibited the spirit of true patriotism. Tho nflllctlon nnd shame of his own people went close to his own henrt. Natlonnl nnd racial soli darity constitutes tho real basis of patriotism. Tho reproach nnd afflic tion of n nation is the reproach and nflllctlon of every member thereof. II. Nehemlah's Prayer for Israel (vv. 5-11). Wo nro taught thnt In tho midst of nflllctlon, wo should pray. Nehemlah In this early time practiced this Now Testament direction. A study of his prayer is most helpful. 1. It was eornest (v. 4). He fasted nnd prayed for several days. When men nro willing to desist from food and turn nslde from their occupations to pray to God, they are unmistakably In earnest. This Is true fasting. 2. The ground of (v. 5). He plend covenant relationship nnd the faith fulness of God In keeping his covenant. It Is n good thing always In our pray ing to plead thus with God. He is delighted when we como ns children pleading for the things we need on the basis of our relationship to him. 8. Unselfish (v. 0). He hns ns his supremo object the welfare of Israel. His personnl Interests wero not af fected, cither for better or for worse, by tho condition of tho Jews In Jeru salem. Many prayers do not count with God because they nro self-centered. 4. Penitent (w. 0, 7). He acknowl edges thnt the state of Israel was duo to dlsobedlenco to God's command ments and their corrupt dealings with God. So completely had ho Identified himself with his people thnt ho includ ed himself with Israel ns having sinned. 5. Tho prayer of faith (vv. 8, 0). Ho believed tho word which God hnd spoken to Moses touching his willing ness to restore and bless his people, though ho wns obliged to severely Judgo them. In our praying, wo should be nble to point to somo definite prom ise In God's word, as wo plend with him. Faith takes God nt his word, and holds him to It. 0. Definite (vv. 10, 11). a. no pointed to the specific people, as thoso redeemed by God's powerful hand. b. no nsked that God would pros per his way nnd grant him mercy In tho sight of tho king. This was a part of wisdom on Nehemlah's part. Beforo going beforo men for considera tion of Important interests, we should ask God to prepare their hearts, so thnt they will listen sympathetically to our plen. This wo should do in nil things, nnd wo can do it, when our own henrts are right, nnd wo seo tho good of oth ers nnd not thnt of ourselves. "Who Will Win This Battle?
