EZRA VHll:2l-23.

for the accomplishment OF ends. He
is foolhardy who does not prudently
summon all human support for any
undertaking. Presumption is no evil
dence of faith Matt. iv, g, Gods
power is a supplement to mans power,
very frequently Judges vii, 10, but
sometimes God works without human
agency. The only defect in Ezra's con-
fldence was that he relied upon God,
not directly, nor yet because man had
failed, but because he was fearful to
ask what he would have desired. Still,
as often occurs, when the fasting and
prayer ended at Ahava. whatever may
have been the state of mind at the
beginning. all felt that they could
safely rest themselves upon the AL
mighty. The answer had been OBJ
tanned. God was intreated. 1t was a
great victory when the men were will-
ing to go forth into the wilderness in
Gods name and strength.
THE TREASURE.-(Vers %. 26, 20
a king never sends an agent to do his
service empty handed tEN. Ill, 2D. He
always provides an equipment adequate
to the fulnllment Of the mission. What
is provided expresses and measures the
kings favor and purpose. And SO there
had been delivered by ArtaXerXes to
Ezra the remainder of the vessels that
had been taken out of Sanctuary by Ne
buchadnezzar UT Kings XIV, 14-15),
nearly a century and a half before, part
of them having been returned under
Ierubabel Ezra I, y. This was the
best evidence of the royal desire TO
fully restore the Divine service at Je-
| rusaem. Besides these sacred YES
| sells. which We're very valuable, there
was given a large quantity of silver
and gold, an Offering to the house of
the Lord, made by the king and his
| counsellors. This was dealt out by
weight, the mode of determining the
| value of precious metals in those days
! Gen xiii, 16), and is estimated tc
| have been worth at least five hundred
| thousand dollars in our currency.
THE KEEPERS "a and 80
! Ezra took good care Of the treasure
which had been committed to him by
| the pagan king and his mobiles for The
! sanctuary. Having asked Gods pro
! lection he did not neglect to selec
good men as custodians. Twelve
priests and twelve Levites, two of thu
latter being mentioned, twenty-fouI
persons in all, were chosen to thi!
trust. There was great appropriate
ness in this appointment. While
some priests might prove unfaithful
for not every man in holy office hon
ors II, yet in the main these men coulC
be relied on more certainly than thos
in secular calling. Besides, they wer
bound by their office to take care o
the things of God, and were in a par
] ticular manner to have the benefit o
| those sacred treasures. With muCl
exactness Ezra delivered the gold sill
YER and vessels into their hands-h
weighed it to them, implying that h
expected to have it again from then
by weight. This was the surest wa,
of preventing misunderstanding, an
very sure method therefore o
prompting fidelity.
THE CHARGES.-(Ve 2S and 29)
Upon the delivery of these preciou
things, Ezra made a brief address t
the men appointed. He desired ther
to feel the responsibility and the homo
of their position and to be faithful t
the confidence imposed in them. II

THE CONTEXT.-In order to enter
with proper spirit into the present
study, IL Is necessary that certain
events be fixed i'm the mind in their
true order. In the fore part of his
book Ezra gives an account of the re-
turn of the Jews from Babylon under
Zerubbabel CB. c. $3.50, by order Of Cy-
rus of which we studied several weeks
ago. In the book of Esther, written
also by Ezra, is shown how an attempt
to destroy all the Jews of the empire
(B. G. 5l0). was averted through the
pleading of Esther resulting in the ele-
walton of Mordecai and the widespread
popularity of the Jews. In the latter
part of the book which bears his name
Ezra relates a second expedition from
Babylon to Jerusalem B. c. 45S) un-
der his own leadership. He was COM
manded to appoint and instruct magis-
trates and judges over the people who
had returned. with authority to pun
ish all who broke the law of God or
of the king. A Jewish scribe, he goes
as the representative of the Persian
government to restore order among his
own people.
lgious side of Ezra's character was
early displayed in entering upon the
mission entrusted to him Having as
sembed by the river side Verse 15)
those who were to accompany him, IA
congregation of 5000, he proclaimed n
fast, in imitation of eminent persons of
an earlier time GI Chron. Xxx, 81. Alb
stinence from food has ever been re-
garded under every system of reli-
gion DER XxXvi. 81 as a wholesome
preliminary to spiritual exercise
| psalm XxXv, 10. The affliction of the
| body is an aid or stimulates to prayer
| Il Chor vii, 81. The object of Ezra 8
prayer meeting was to invoke Gods
| blessing upon the journey about to be
made. Many dangers must be encoun-
| tered in the way Then, as in all the
| centuries since, the country through
which they would pass was occupied
| by wandering bands of thieves. II
was necessary therefore to seek pro.
| lection, and he had learned that GOD
was the sure defense of His people
| psalm XVI, y.
THE REASON.-(Verse 22) Ordina.
| rily it would have been eminently
| proper to ask of the king band OF
| soldiers and horsemen for defense. In
| deed, this was the usual mode of cross.
| ing those deserts. Without doubt the
king would have granted such a rea'
sonable request. But Ezra had de
clared that the hand of God was
| upon all them for good that seel
him." and that His power was agains
all them that forsake Him Psaln
XXxiv, y. He was therefore ASHAMED
to seek an armed esco rt. lest the good
| ness OF Israel's God or the sincerity o
Ezra's dependence should be ques
toned. He therefore determined t,
travel without any guard except tina
of the Almighty. Yet, lest forme
sins should provoke God to leave then
unprotected, he caused the whole com
pany to humble themselves in dec
repentance and self-abasement befor
the Lord. Thus we see that he wa
moved to seek Divine guidance a.
an alternative, and not as a primar,
consideration.
THE ANSWER -(Verse 23). How
ever, the course of Ezra was in n
wise open to criticism. 1t is proper a
at all times to devise ways and mean

THE REFLECTIONS.-T lesson
exhibits the principles and methods of
successfully conducting any important
enterprise. /. Let wise and COM
petent leader be chosen, one whose
heart is enlisted. who incarnates the
cause which he is expected to repre-
sent. one, who, like Ezra will COM
mand the confidence of others. .. Per-
nit this leader to arrange details ac-
cording to his own good judgment, SO
that he may feel both free and respon-
sible, able and anxious 10 do his full
duty. 3. Let this leader gather his as
sociates together that they may all i'm
bbe his spirit and commit themselves
unhesitatingly. as the congregation at
Ahava did to the mission before them.
4. Let Gods blessing be invoked upon
the enterprise, not merely in form, but
in faith until the answer comes to the
satisfaction of all. 8. Let good and re-
liable subordinates be chosen from
among the best of men to perform the
most delicate and responsible parts Of
the measure, inasmuch as upon their
faithfulness all the issues depend. G..
Let those subordinates be instructed
until they feel that what they have to
do is a most weighty obligation for
which they will be held to a strict ac-
count. Under these rules Ezra led the
second company Of Jewish captives 10
their home Under the same rules may
work be done that shall glorify God
and bless mankind in every age.

Secretary of American Society of Religious Education

reminded them that they were holy
men. that is they had been consecrat-
ed to holy offices. Any failure ON
their part would be a reproach, not
upon them only. but upon the insti-
tutcs of religion. They represented
a class, all of whom would suffer If
they went astray. Besides, what they
had In keeping was holy, for it be-
longed TO God. Then came the charge
watch you and keep" these things that
they be not lost, or emhezzled, or min
gled with other articles: keep them
together, keep them safe, until they
are weighed in the chambers of the
good mon there This last part must
have had great influence. The act of
an accounting at the end of the jour
ney e Pet. iv, 81 was not unlike the
day Of reckoning which will come to
all men at the end of life OHeb. xiii, I'D.
THE SUCCESS.-( Oversees 81 and 32)
Thus all was made ready. The list OF
the emigrants had been carefully pre-
pared. All had spent three days in
earnestly seeking the favor Of heaven.
Twenty men selected out OF the
sacred office had received the vessels
and the gifts for the temple. Then
the procession formed and moved
steadily westward There is no rec
ord of anything that occurred on the
way. The journey was without dis
turbing incident. No enemy appeared
to attack and plunder them. The
! Arabian hordes that roam over those
| plains. living upon the spoils taker
| from unprotected caravans, did nc'
molest them. So quiet and ueacciu
| was the band of Jewish pilgrims tha
| all felt that God had kept His prom
| Use, that they were under His guidance
/ and care. AS the children Cf lsrae
marched from Egypt to Canaan SO The
returning captives, defended by th'
Almighty, passed from Babylon 20 Je
rusalem. As the walls of their ances
tral home appeared, joy unspeakabl
must have filled the hearts cf al
| psalm cXXii, 1-2).

What We Ge to Church For.

We go to church to worship God and
His attributes include all that is noble in
life, all that is hopeful in death, and all
that is beautiful in thought or in nature.
What man worships determines what he
is. To sincerely adore and appreciate
goodness, wisdom, power, loneliness and
intelligence, as exhibited in the character
of the Christ of the Bible, is to be in
spired with the highest thoughts and be-
come a partaker in an increasing measure
of that grand Divine nature. We go to
church to reform evil, to secure strengtn
in our weakness. to revive our hope, to
obtain comfort in grief to elevate our
thinking, to purify and intensity our feel
ings TO preserve and restore our health, to
Increase our knowledge, to arouse our
love for all that is good to make our
home more sweet, to make society more
brOtherly and peaceful, to get rest from
care, to he better fitted for business, to Sc
cure enthusiasm for heroic deeds and to
find pure and permanent happiness-Rev.
