Meeting Tonight. - Much
Interest in Selection.
FIVE APPLICATIONS FOR THE JOB

Much excitement and expectancy
prevails in high school circles today.
Tonight the school board will meet
and select the all important official,
who is surrounded by about the same
atmosphere on the campus as the
Gar of Russia or the Sultan of Tur-
6ey, formerly were in their respective
courts
There is no question as to whom
the popular choice is with the stu
dents, the football boys or the Ath-
ietic association, but these most re
spectiul bodies are not the ones who
are going to do the selecting. The
talk is not pro or con on the charter

THE STORY.

4 T LAST"
IA Nehemiah uttered the words half
as q prayer of Thanksgiving, and half
as an exclamation Of surprise. He
knew the time was coming when he
should return to Jerusalem, but when
the word had finally come from the
king that he should prepare to return
It came almost as surprise to him.
Twelve years before he had made
the journey to Jerusalem. and during
two exciting, strenuous months he had
labored and caused the people to rear
the walls Of Jerusalem. More than
once during that period had his life
been endangered. and many times did
It secm that the people would cease
the work because Of fear Of attack.
But he had seen the work completed
In spite Of the obstacles and dangers.
and then had come the word from his
king summoning him back to the pal
ece.
Troubled In heart ne had obeyed.
ana had resumed his former duties IN
the presence Of the king. BY no
word which the hing spoke TO him did
hs know that ke trusted him less than
before be had gone to Jerusalem. but
somehow he felt that the old cordial
~ and confidence was lacking. He
knew that he had done nothing where
81 IL king might accuse him. and
feeling hat there was nothing else

SERMON ETTE.

u a. some Of the best Bible
scholars believe there was q
period Of IL years between the
building Of the wall Of Jerusa-
lem and its dedication, Il 10 evil
dent that the enemies Of Nehe-
miah were able to delay, but not
prevent, the final contamination
Of the splendid mission for
which the devout Jew had set
himself apart.
We discuss this one uncertain
point Of the book Of Nehemiah
In our next weeks story. Here
we are TO consider some Of the
lessons to be learned.
A stronger and. more deter
mined man than Nehemiah
might have accepted the long
delay and hindrance AZ evidence
that the work had been In vain.
after all, and that there was no
use struggling against such OPP
position.
But not 20 Nehemiah. The
faith which had given him the
strength to begin the work In
the face Of seemingly insur-
mountabIe obstacles was the
same faith which kept him
steadfastIy looking to the fu-
ture when the way would open
for his return to Jerusalem.
There 10 no doubt that the
enemies Of Nehemiah tried TO
poison the mind Of the king
with the thought that Nehemiah
was building the wall for per-
sonai gain, and that he might
set himself up In q city and
kingdom Of his own.
And perhaps during those
long years Of delay the king was
testing Nehemiah out and striv-
ino to satisfy HE own mind that
the charges which had been
mNoc e0atUek HNS SepSSsSs
were groundless. And he walt
ed and at last the way opened
up and the great dedication day
came.
But he who 10 commissioned
Of God to the accomplishment Of
i great work can wait with rare
grace, knowing that ultimately
the will Of God Will prevail.
Just 40 Nehemiah went about
the building Of the wall 90 did
he 40 about the dedication.
Everything must be done In or
der and according to the law
Of hls God.
Here again we see the rare
grace and strength Of the man
- he carefully works out the
details Of Ill that great cers-
mony and lie accompanying ~
form In the temple worship. He
had no selfish ends to serve,
, nor pet ldsas to carry out. His
work was to do Gods Will.
