commanded that the gates be shut and
that they should remain closed until
the Sabbath was passed; that Is, until
the setting OF the sun on the seventh

CONCLUSION.-We see here the
value of a good ruler. The men who
had been entrusted with the admins
tration of affairs in Jerusalem allowed
practices contrary to law. But Ne
hemiah on taxing up the reins of gov
ernment instructed, demonstrated, ap-
pealed and then, finally, commanded.
Under him the evils were removed, and
the religious welfare of the city was
promoted. The lesson shows only two
motives that prompted this good man
to this heroic conduct. He had respect
to the will of God, and he saw that
the good of the city was inseparably
bound up in an obedience to the law
of God. This last conclusion was de-
rived from the study of history, for
the fathers of the nation had sinned
in the same way and had been pun
ished. The same method might be fol-
lowed now. 1t is a we'll known fact
that the violation of the Sabbath by
any people to whom it has been given
has been attended with serious results.
How far the example of Nehemiah
may be followed by the magistrate in
our time we hesitate to say. The Jew
ish state was theocratic and in no sense
a model for any modern government.
But the Sabbath is a perpetual institu-
ton. deserving universal observance.

Sunday ay-SchOOI Lesson for December
Keeping the Sabbath.
NEIL Kill: 1921.
BY J. e. GILBERT, D. D., L. D.,
Secretary of American Society of Religious Education

1NTRODUCTION--The rebuilding of
the walls gave security to the inhabit-
ants of Jerusalem, and commercial ac-
tivity and prosperity followed The
city speedily became an excellent mar
ket for the sale of commodities, and
trade was conducted with other cities
and countries. But. as is too frequent
ly the case, the financial gains made
many Indifferent to their religious OBJ
legations, and practices were introduced
contrary to the law of Moses. TO
make matters worse Nehemiah having
filled the time allowed for his mis-
sion, returned to Artaxerxes, king Of
Babylon, leaving Jerusalem (Neh, xiii:
o. to be governed by one OF the princes
who was careless i'm his administra-
tion. As a consequence many social
evils crept Into the city, unfavorable
TO its welfare, which Nehemiah sought
to remove, when he came again to
assume the government one OF those
evils will be considered in this lesson.
DISSERTATION Cverse 15)-Nehe-
miah observed that the people did not
keep the Sabbath. on that day they
pursued their ordinary business, vio-
lating the law of Moses 0Ix., xx;S), and
disregarding the teachings of the
prophets DER, Xvii:2D. Just outside
the city where We're numerous vine
yards (John, xvi!i:D, some were tread
ing wine presses, to which were brought
great clusters of grapes, while all man
ner of burdens were laid on beast :
and carried into the city The day
was secularized, and unrestrained traf-
fic was conducted as on other days. At
such spectacle the heart of Nehemiah
was moved to the depths and he spoke
plainly against the abominable prac-
tices. selecting as an opportune time
for his addresses. the days on which
victuals were sold, that is. the market
days,when great numbers were brought

Tyre was the chief city of Phoenicia on
the eastern coast of the Mediterranean,
nearly eighty miles northwest of Jeru-
salem. 1t was renowned for it's arts
and artisans, and its goods We're car

also famous for its fish, from which
its names were derived, as Julian de-
clares (See lib. XVIII. Nehemiah found
that these men of Tyre had come to

wares and their fish which were free

derstand that their gathering outside
of the wall was offensive to the au-
thorities, an injury to the city, vio-
lation of the law, and that 1t would
not be permitted. IL they continued
they would be liable to arrest and
punishment. This is proof that the
magistrates of those days held that
their jurisdiction extended for some
distance around the city, as indeed it
should in order to preserve order. The
threat had the desired effect. 1t was
apparent that a man who had pro-
Ceeded thus far could not be trifed
with, and that he would employ all the
forces at his command to execute his
will AS a result the merchants dis
appeared and the hours of the Sabbath
We're afterward undisturbed either
without or within Jerusalem.
SANCTIFICATION Verse 2).--The
law had triumphed. The civil magis-
trate had compelled external obedience.
Willingly or unwillingly all had yield
ed to Keep the day holy. All this was
merely preliminary. The real observ-
ance must be from choice a matter
of the heart. Where the government
ended religion must begin. The Le-
vites, who We're the ministers of re-
ligion under the old dispensation, were
then set to perform their various func-
tions. During the reign of secularity
these men had fled from the city. The
nsatiate thirst for money had deprived
them of their living and their office
(Neh. Xiii:1O. But they were now re-
stored, and their tasks were under
taken with new zeal, as the old-time
Sabbath calm once more settled upon
their beloved Jerusalem. BY appropri-
ate services they Cleansed themselves
and sanctified the day, and they also
took their seats in the gates, that the
people might not forget it was Gods
day. Thus this reform had passed
steadily on from one stage to another
until it was complete

WHAT desperate effort has been made by the "push" this week to prevent Chinese Inspector Putnam from carrying out the in- structions of the treasury depart ment at Washington to take Lee Sing to Tucson. If the Chinaman is square and the push have noth- ing to fear from his detention why have they made so desperate an effort to get him turned loose' Their very desperation in the mat ter is give away.

AFTER the corrupt and uncon- scionable crowd in federal office with which we have had to deal in Nogales so long, how really refresh- ing it is to encounter United States officials who are honest and who are gentlemen, such as MT. J. D. Putnam, who was here this week, Mir. w. E. Pulliam, tue new special agent, and Messrs Converse J. Smith and J. T. Power, who conducted the recent investigation into the corrupt and rotten methods of the Nogales custom house.

REVEREND HEALD thinks the golden rule should be given a chance in Nogales. That's what THE OASIS has always maintained. But there has been predominant in the place crowd who violate not only the golden rule but all rules and precedents. They even hesi tate not at violation of law. Their day is fast drawing to a close.
