try. lie therefore assembled the people,
on the journey
FIFTH LESSON (Oct 20. Psalm lxXvv
ana CNXYi. Psalms of DelivcrunccD,--lt
does rot matter when these Two Psalms
were written, ON which point there mus
some difference of opinion. Thcy are
here used with great propriety to express
the feelings of the Jews after their return
from CAPTIVITY. 1t is possible that the
masses of tne people cherished less ca
alted sentiments, as is usual among the
lower classes, who are less likely TO
realize Gods care, But the leaders, ana
especially those who conducted public
worship, would be moved by nigh and
piuus reflections By such words set
20 music and rendered on the Sabbath a
most salutary influence would be cXCrtcd
upon the public mind and conscience.
SIXTH LESSON (Nov. ). Nch. i:l-11
Nchcmiah's PrayeD..-About ten years
after Ezra 5 trip, Nehemiah led an cApc-
ditiOn from Babylon to Jerusalem (B. G.
llO). He was melted to this upon hear
ing from returned Jews the dcporable
condition of the city and of it's people.
With great propricty he first of all sought
the Lord with weeping, fasting and pray
er. Confessirg the national sins, which
he made his own, he inlplOrcd Gods
mercy and help. In this way he found
favor and then urged that he might DO
prospered in his purpose to visit Jerusa-
lem. The prayer Is a model
SEVENTH LESSON (Nov. u. Neh. iv:
7-lS. Rebuilding the Walls of Jerusa-
lem. Nehemiah's prayer was successful.
He came to Jerusalem and began the
ka,f1 Nf .
work was known to the people of ada
cent countries they conspired to defeat 1t.
From that time forward the Jewish forces
were divided into two parts-half of them
labOred upon the walls, while the other
half held spears and bows and other
weapons of defense. SO the work pros
pered,
EIGHTH LESSON CNov. 10. Neh. viii.
1-l2. Public Reading of the Scriptures
The completion of the walls made it pos
sible to set up in regular order the civil
and political institutions of Judaism This
required that the law Of Moses should be
again proclaimed and understood. The
years of the captivity during which other
matters had been suspended, were spe-
cially favorable to literary pursuits in
two ways. The scholars had more time
for study, and they were less controlled
by political influences Accordingly Ezra
was appointed to preach while others in
terpreted the sacred writings.
NINTH LESSON tNov. %. Prov. xiii.
29-25 Woes of IntemperanccD. This is
special lesson, outside the historic current
of the quarter selected to inCulcatc a
great virtue. There is a description of
the evils of strong drink, showing that
three thousand years ago the habits OF
men were virtually the same as now.
There is a wise procept by which to avoid
the evils described. That preccpt by
which to avoid the evils described. That
preCept (Versc 80 is for the individual.
While couchcd i'm language adapted to
the time, it probably expresses more fully
than any rule known to us the course of
wisdom.

REFLEC'TIONS.-It is remarkable that
these old Scriptures have so much intel
est Tor us. These small disconnected
fragments studied out Of their conuec-
tion, though referring to times and cir
cumstanCes wholly unlike our own. are
yet instructive in an eminent degree. The
suffering in a strange land, the safe re-
turn home, the building of walls under
difficulties, the rejoicing i'm restored fa-
Vors, the defense of the Sabbath. the
teaching of Scripture, the woes of intem-
prrancc, the Relapse into woIldlincss, tine
contcmplatiuns of Christ, are all historic
representations of great interests that
concern all peoples in all ages and lands.
Below the narratives lie those universal
truths that involve mans religious ma

INTRODUCTION.-T lessons of the
Quarter were taken from seven books
Psalms, Proverbs, lsaIan, Ezra, Nehe-
miah, Esther ana MalaChi-lUrmlng an
important part OF jewish literature ut the
United Monarchy, DIVIDED Monarchy,
Captivity and Post-Captivity Perious.
Two Kings, tow statesman ana two pro-
phets were employed in writing these
DoOks. 1he themes treated are chiefly
historical, but three of the lessons are ue-
NouUnai. tnice ethical, and one Cnristo-
logical A few comments will enable
one to recall the more salient points
FIRST LESSON lOCt. 1. Psalm cXXli,
JOY in Gods HouseJ.-This Psalm was
one of fourteen u2O to l54D written by
David or by his direction ana appointed
10 be sung by the people as tney jour
neyed in groups from their homes to Je-
rusalcm on the great feast occasions The
glory of the city is rCCited, as CompaCtiy
bult, as the seat of government, ana,
above ALL as the center of religious wor-
ship, where Gods house had been estab-
lished. These contclnplations awakened
the thanksgiving and rejoicing and prayer
OF the people. The scng must have pro-
NOTED among the travellers feelings OF
piety and patriotism preparing them for
the observances in Jerusalem.
SECOND LESSON COct. S. Esther III:
Iii. Haman's Plot Against the Jews).-
Ahasuerus, king of Media and Persia, pro-
NOTED Haman to the first place among
the princes, and all the servants of the
king bowed down before him whenever
they came into his presence. But Mordc-
cal, the jew, refused to render such
honor This continued dsrespeCt awak-
ened the bitter anger of Haman, who de-
vised Il plan to destroy all the Jews, who
We're at court. With hattcring words,
protesting only to seek the public good
he laid his wicked purpose before Aha
sureus and easily obtained permission to
execute his plan.
THIRD LESSON COct. 10. Esther wills
2-S and 15-1T Esther Pleading for Her
People,. wickedness was ex-
posed. lie was hung. and his property
CuntsCated. Esther, the Jewish queen,
who had intercedcd to secure this result
now directed her efforts to save her pcO-
pie, who had been, by the ediCt of the
king, condemned to the slaughter. With
tears she bcsought the king, who lis
tened to her pleading and issued another
order, allowing the Jews throughout the
empire to stand in self-defcnsc on the
day appointed for their destruction. This
order CifcCtually nulided the first The
Jews easily triumphed over their enemies,
and many of the heather aftcrward en-
braced the Jewish religion
FOURTH LESSON (Oct %. Ezra wilt
2l-22. Ezras Journey to Jerusalem). -
Eighty years after the return of the Jews
under Cyrus CB. c. 450, a second eXpedi.
tiOn was fitted out by authority of ArtaN-
crxes, then king, who gave Ezra, the emil
nent scribe, most liberal instruction and
abundant wealth beside the vessel of gold
for the temple service. Ezra had said so
much to the king concerning the protec-
tion God gave to His people that he was
unwilling to ask military escort as a

TWELFTH LESSON. Dcc. L. Nal. iii:
IL to iv:6. Fruits of Right and Wrong
DoingD-In closing his book Malachi
sought to impress the Jewish people with
the alternatives which are prominently
set forth through all Scripture-prosperi
ty for righteousness, suffering for wick
edness. In this he brings the nation
face to face with God ana His word, and
| like a faithful minister he re-atfrms the
binding authority of the law of Moses

cut the Bible and declare that it was the
! nations hope. And he ended by exhibit
! ing the method by which all peoples per-
| petuatG thcmSelVCs-the fathers and the

! ness and feryor.
