The oppositions which this great

nothing in these days that is doing

But there was still another foe

If il were not so serious it would
be almost amusing to see how the
enemies of Gods people, after they
had been unsuccessful in their antag-
Onism and ridicule. sought then to
make a compromise with Nehemiah
and his associates. They tried to get
them to leave off their work of re-
building the walls and come out into
the plains of Ono for a conference.
That is Just exactly what the world is
attempting today. They try to per-
suade the Christian that If he will
have fellowship with all sort and types

gain over them power of good. That

ential. Any compromise with evil

We talk about the idolasry of

ised such brilliant prospects. have
never tried to preach an easy Gospel.
If you are to be a real Christian and
to have in your heart the assurance of
salvation. you are going to encounter
many hardships and difficulties. Often
I times God viii test you by asking you
to do some work which is distasteful
This big-hearted and big-brained work
er swept all excuses aside and decided
to enter upon this great undertaking.
Let us note his first step was the
preparation of Himself. He spent
many days in prayer and fasting and
weeping Every great work for God
has been permeated with prayer and
so intense was he in spirit, that as he
prayed. tears rolled down his face
Would that we might see that same
spirit evident in our own day in
I Christian servicei We have been bonn
harding peoples heads when really
we ought to lay siege to their hearts
There is too much dry-eyed preaching
and praying, too little heart element
in Christian work.
4 David Brainerd, the great apostle oi
| the Indians, in the early history OF
America, tells in his diary how he
went out one day in the woods. to pray
for his benighted people. And al
though" said he, "the day was cool
and it was in the shade. yet as
prayed the perspiration oozed from
my pores until my clothing was wet.
No wonder that aster such praying
! he preached to the Indians through
the medium of a drunken interpreter
and the savages fell on their faces
sobbing under conviction of sins.
1t was this spirit of Nehemiah that
touched the heart of the Persian king
gave him his good will and caused the
king to grant his servant the time and
the means to undertake this mighty
work.
Let us note in the next place the
fewness of his helpers, Il and some
few men with me- The mission OF
the Christian is the mission of the
minority. The worlds work is done
not by the many, but by the few
/ Every great undertaking has had its
inception in single soul. Every great
revival has been the fruit of the pray
ers and efforts of a little company like
| GideOn's band who have struggled on
against difficulties and discourage
ments which at first seemed insur-
mountable. but at last resulted in q
! glorious triumph.
The next step in this great leaders
mission was to take a careful invent
/ ory of conditions at Jerusalem. He
went on a tour of inspection and view
ed the ctate of dearth and desolation
This is equally essential in our pres
ent Christian service. 1t can do nc
permanent good to discredit facts anC
gloss over real conditions. The trutl
is spirituality has sunk to a low ebl

denominations are in a bad way. Mem

Rebuilding the Walls
Sermon preached tabernacle yesterday afternoon by Dr. Lyon

Yesterday afternoon. Mr. Lyon
spoke on Rebuilding the Walls" II
was an exposition OF the book of Ne
hemiah. Among other things he said ;
From the great work of Nehemiah
in rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem
let us learn some practical lessons as
we enter upon this great undertaking
to build the spiritual walls of Gcd's
Jerusalem in our own hearts, in our
churches and throughout the entire
community.
In all proper study Of the scriptures
il is essential that we give each event
its proper setting, that we understand
the time and place and conditions un
der which the words were spoken and
the works performed. The people OF
Judea had been carried into captivity
by the Babylonians under Nebuchad
nezzar. 5S7 B. c. Soon after this the
Babylonian Empire was conquered by
the Persians and a half century after
ward, during the first year of the
reign of Cyrus, the Jews were permit
ted to return to their native land. Al
that time here was much earnest eff

city to its former greatness. But now
a hundred years have passed by anc
again Jerusalem had fallen into decay
Her inhabitants have become discour
aged, besieged upon all sides by theil
enemies. The people have lost hope
and on every hand were ruin and des
olation.
Among the descendants Of the Jew
ish remnant in the Persian country
there had grown up this talented
young man. Nehemiah, who held the
position of cup bearer to the king
This was not a menial occupation as
we might infer. but was nearest tc
the person and place of this absolute
monarch His office was more nearly
Z like that of Prime Minister. Il was
a situation of great prospects, wealth
and honor.
But now there comes from Jerusa
! lem a committee of its citizens to seeh
1 his assistance in behalf of their be
loved city They described it to be il
a state of desolation and decay, the
walls were broken down and the gates
consumed by fire.
Nehemiah might have made many
excuses for not being willing TO go
He might have said, Il am too busy
here, / haven't time" When the devi
cannot get a man any other way he
packs him over full with engagements
How common this excuse is. We have
all the time there is and il is surpris
ing how much time we can find fol
things that we really want to fine
time for. Only the people who lost
time have no time God wants thu
time of busy people. He would rathe
have a half hours service Of a bus,
man than a years time of a loafer.
Nehemiah might also have made thu
