Text ot the Lemson, Neb. i, 1-11-Mem ory Verses, 8, 9-Golden Text. Jam. v, 1G-Commnentary Prepared by Rev. D. 31. Stearnx. [Copyright, 1905. by Amnerican Press Association.) In all these Old Testament studies Israel Is the center, as she is the center of all God's purposes concerning the whole earth. When He divided the earth among the nations after the del uge He did it with reference to the children of Israel (Gen. x, 25; Deut. xxxii, 8), and some day we shall look back from the gloryland and be sur prised to see, as we cannot now, how all God's dealings with the nations in all ages have had some reference to His people Israel, for it is His purpose that Israel shall blossom and bud and fill the face of the earth with fruit and that all nations shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of Hosts, at Jerusalem (Isa. xxvii, 6; Jer. iii, 17, 18; Zech. xiv, 16). All na tional disputes shall be settled there, and the work of righteousness shall be peace on all the earth, for "the king dom shall be the Lord's" (Obad. 21). The time of our lesson is the twen tieth year of Artaxerxes (1, 1; ii, 1), or thirteen years after Ezra went up to Jerusalem with his company (Ezra vili, 7). Nehemiah is the king's cupbearer, a Jew at a gentile court, like Joseph, Moses, Daniel or Mordecai, but his heart Is with his people at Jerusalem. From certain Jews who had returned from Jerusalem he learned the sad condition of affairs there-that the peo ple were In great affliction and re proach and the wall of the city had never been rebuilt (verse 3).- He took It greatly to heart and wept and mourned and fasted before the God of heaven (verse 4), and the burden of our lesson today is his prayer at this time. Another great prayer at another time is recorded in chapter Ix, and these and other prayers recorded In Scripture, notably our Lord's prayer In John xvii, are the most helpful of studies if we would learn how to pray. By cornparing i, 1, and ii, 1, we see that Nehemiah had been praying full three months before his opportunity came to speak to the king. He had the ear of the King of Kings for three months before his time came to make request of Artaxerxes. Doubtless he was always watching for the time to speak and to be ready when it should come. This should be the attitude of every prayerful one - expectant, but patient, not trying to make occasions or opportunities, but trusting God to do that, and then, obedient to I Sam. x, 7, "Do as occasion serve thee. for God is with thee." When the time had fully come he stated the matter frank ly and in one breath prayed to God and spoke to the king (it, 4, 5, 8, 1. c.), and his petition was granted according to the good hand of his God upon him. It is beautiful to behold his walk with God, his trust in God, and therefore his fearlessness. "Neither told I man what my God had put in my heart to do;" "The God of Heaven, He will prosper us" (II, 12, 16, 20). The opening verses of our lesson show his oneness of heart with his peo pie at Jerusalem, and when we are In some measure like him and have on our hearts, as he had, the interests and welfare of the people of God we, too, shall see some answers to our prayers. In verse 5 see his reverent adoration of God and compare Jer. x, 6, 7, 10; xxxii, 17; Ex. xxxiv, 6, 7; Acts lv, 24, and be encouraged to trust more fully the God of heaven and earth, the Liv lg God who glveth us richly all things to enjoy (I Tim. vi, 17). See how Ne emiah says again and again "My God" and "Our God" (11, 8, 12, 18; iv, 9, 20; vi, 16), reminding us of David's "Our own God" (Ps. lxvii, 6) and of Thomas' "My Lord and my God" (John xx, 28). Day and night he continued to confess before God the sins of his people, tak ing his place with them as one of them, excusing nothing, pQallating nothing. This is the only way of blessing (Prov. xxviii, 13; I John 1, 9). Turn to Him who actually took our place and suf fered our sins to be laid upon Him, who was made sin for us (II Cor. v, 21; I Pet. ii, 24), and, as we see Him doing this In love to our souls, If our whole being does not go out to Him in glad surrender either we do not believe the record and receive Him as our personal Saviour or we only see men as trees walking. TXhen in verses 8 and 9 he pleads with God His promises to Moses; he rests on the word of God and pleads God's faithfulness. This also did Da vid in Ps. cxix, 49, "Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope." God loves to have us remind Him of His word and even calls us His remem brancers (Isa. xliii, 26; lxii, 6, margin). How few in these days seem to re member or to care that He has chosen Jerusalem to put His name there. Nehemiah is very bold In his plead g and says notwithstanding their sin fulness, "Tlhese are Thy servants, Thy people, whom Thou hast redeemed." So pleaded Moses and Daniel (Deut. i, 29; Dan. ix, 19), and Jeremiah prayed, "0 Lord, though our iniquities testify against us, do Thou It for Thy name's sae** * Thou, 0 Lord, art in the midst of us, and we are called by Thy name" (Jer. xiv, 7, 9). Having poured out his soul on be half of his people, in verse 11 Ne hemah asks a special favor on his own behalf, and yet It was for their sakes as their benefactor. For this special personal favor he patiently waited month after month, though the distress at Jerusalem made It seem as If he needed an Immediate answer. Blessed are those who have learned to rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him (Ps. xxxvii,_7). Candlelight. In domestic lighting for nearly the first half of the last century candles held undisputed sway. The bell Is rung, and Mary brings In c-adles, a pair of molds In tall brass candlesticks brightly polished, with snuffers on a fray-a sharp beaked snuff ers of steel with jaws that opened and shut with a snap and something sinister In their appearance. There were plated candlesticks and snuffers, too, for occasions of state. with silver branches that suggested the spoils of Jerusalem, but there was also a lamp, a stately edifice of bronze that towered over the family circle at times and shed a generous and genial light when so inclined. But what a demon It was to smoke and to smell! And It would burn, when it condescended to burn at all, nothing but the very finest sperm oil at a fabulous price per gal lon.-London Chronicle. Both Toocjains. Young Wife--I took great pains with that cucumber salad, John, and I hope you enjoyed It. Husband (anxiously) 'm afraid, my dear, that I took great Origin of the Metric System. Some very interesting facts have been collected about the foot, the most widely used measure of length in mod ern times. The measure is derived from the length of the human foot, but apparently has varied more than that portion of the skeleton can possibly have done In historic times. The an cient Welsh foot, for Instance, was nine inches long, whereas the Piedmont foot was twenty inches. In modern times it has varied from the Span ish foot, of less than eleven inches. to the Venice foot, of more than thirteen Inches. Almost every country has used a foot measure of a different length. It was this confusion which led the French to devise the metric system. Every Ounce You Eat. Every ounce of food you eat that fails to digest does a pound of harm.

One of the candidates at an election in Derbyshire, England, was a new comer not remarkable for his generos Ity. He found himself defeated at the polls and bade adieu to the electors vith the 'words, "At any rate, ladies and gentlemen, my wife and I have spent a very happy fortnight in the peak." "Yes," came a sudden retort from the crowd, "and that's all you have spent" Saved by Dynamite. Sometimes a flaming city is saved by dynamiting a space that the fire can't cross.
