November 10, 1905. NEHEMIAH,s YER.

November 10, 1905.
 NEHEMIAH'S PRAYER.
 Il Picture, if you will, Nehemiah walk ing on the wall of Susa. Behind him are goodly palaces, and in the more distant background the mountains of Elam. Hard by is the tomb of Daniel. But Nehemiah's mind is far away He is thinking of the sepulcher of his fathers and the mountain of the Lord s house. Hark! Can it be? He hears the accents of his own loved dialict. E Returning to the parapet, he sees a company of travel-stained Jews. He greets them with Oriental demonstra- | tion. One is his own brother. He does not stop to ask his brothers health or fortune, or to narrate his ! own remarkable preferment at court. | His first question is as to the state of the Jews in Jerusalem and of the tenn pie. The tale the travellers tell is of
 the nature of a terrible surprise. In
 the absence of any news. he had
 thought all was we'll. To him personal prosperity is no substitute for the well
 fare of Zion. Surges of sorrow sweep his soul
 But better than that. he also prayed. He showed those traits which God de- lights to honor-persistency and im- portunity. He prayed probably three
 times a day. and every day for a week.
 There was no answer; but, nothing | daunted, he began the secend week, and so continued for seventeen weeks
 and a day. One hundred and twenty
 days--just the time it would have re-
 quired to measure with his footprints
 all the way from Susa to Jerusalem.
 God was, in fact, answering Nehemiah's
 prayer while. he seemed to be with
 holding the answer. In this period of
 suspense a plan of procedure was be-
 ing developed in the mind of the sup
 pliant, it's general principles. it's min utest details. With the growth of the
 plan grew the conviction that he him.
 self must put it into execution and the resolution to do so.
 Study of this incident reveals Nehe-
 miah as one of the most illustrious
 examples of disinterested patriotism.
 which history, sacred or profane. af- lords. He had a life tenure upon an
 office of high rank and many emolu-
 ments. He stood next to the monarch
 of the world. A palace was at his
 disposal with all its luxurious ap-
 pointments. But for the sake of his
 countrymen he relinquished all. What
 enhances the deed is that 1t was not done in a burst of enthusiasm, but af- ter considerable period. in which every element and phase of the situa- tion was passed in review. Nehemiah knew that his life might be forfeited of his plea for his llow-countrymen to the fickle tyrant with whom he had
 to deal. Ease and safety must needs
 be thrown aside and thousand miles

TRIED TO GET AWAY
NEGRO ENDEAvoRs TO BREAK JAIL
 IN SELMA.
Falls in Effort, and Has Ninety Days Added to His Jail Sentence- Cotton Mill stockhold-
 ero Meet

Selma, Nov. 17.-tSpecial ,--A bold attempt to break jail occurred shortly after 6 o'clock this morning at the city lookup. It was the second attempt that has been made since the city prison has been located on the third floor over the Fire Department headquarters and did not result in a successful venture for the prisoner. Ernest Williams, a negro convicted of the larceny of sev- eral watches and other articles from Joseph Rosenberg, Washington Street merchant, made the attempt. and as a result had added ito his sentence ninety days hard labor on the streets.
 When Turnkey Ahern, accompanied by the woman who cooks the meals for the prisoners, opened the door leading into the lookup, Williams pushed the woman down and darted past the turn key. At the bottom of the steps. or Bridge of Sighs," as the structure is known, leading from the lookup to the entrance to the court room, he found the door locked, the turnkey having thoughtfully fastened 1t before ascend ing with the meal When Williams found his way barred and the turnkey calling upon him to come on back to the lookup, he meekly obeyed, being greeted by the derisive jeers of his fell low prisoners. He was arraigned be- fore the Mayor at court and besides be- ing given a lecture was sentenced to. ninety days additional time.

Why does God delay His answer to prayer? No advantage from such de- lay can possibly accrue to God. Often the thing requested is palpably in &C., cord with His will and purpose It may be that, in the delay and the con sequent persistence 'and importunity required. that state of mind and heart is developed which will make the best and uttermost use of the blessing when at length it is conferred.
 Prayer is an active factor in human affairs. Things come to pass through prayer that otherwise never would transpire. If Nehemiah had only wept. his tears would have ayailed nothing. He prayed and his name stands next to that of Zerubbabel as having sup plemented and conserved his work |: for the temple without the wall could not have stood until Shiloh came,
 Glorious achievements are the out come of deep feeling. Nehemiah's emotions fairly chiseled his face. If his had been a mere pressing and sentl- mental regret at the forlorn condition of Jerusalem, he would never have been the honored instrument of Provi- dence in the rearing of the walls. He is immortal, because his heroic, pa- triotic, and devout soul was capable of the deepest feeling.
