where his appearance attracted the at

sending Esther tho sad news and sum-

queen hesitated. She doubted the state

the real danger She doubted her in

Mordeca: revealed her danger because
she was a JeweSs. The faith Of Mordecai,
who saw that God was mot stopped by
any individuals failure to do his duty.
pointed out to her the greatest danger
was that God might select some one else
to do her work. The suggestion that God
had made her queen for such service
gave her courage to obey the promptings
of her heart to help her people. The

ture turned AGAINST the deceiver. Ha-
man was hanged upon the scaffold that
he had prepared for Mordecai. The Jews
were given permission to protect them

whole record reveals the spirit of the
Persian court and Gods watch care. The
decree Of the king could not be recalled.
Another decree counteracts 1t. We can
not recall our past, but. like Saul OF
Tarsus, we can live such life In the
future that we will slorify God. We
cannot recall the past word which wound
ed our friends heart. but We can by kind

owed to her nation and her God. Soon
after Esther's coronation Mordecai fur
nished her with evidence of a plot against
the kings life. The conspIrators were
hanged and Mordecais deed was put on
record. The Jews who had returned to
Jerusalem were suffering untold hard
ships. Hannah, the prime minister, sym
pathized with their opponents and would
do nothing to relieve the situation. Be
tween Mordecai and Hannah there arose Il
bitter feeling, because the former did not
pay the same respect to him that others
did. The only way that Hannah could
satisfy his hatred against Mordecai was
to put him out of the way. He sought to
atisfy his revenge by securing a royal
decree to destroy the Jewish people root
