makes it so unlike any other

Good housewives apprecl-
ate these vital bread points.
If they didn't, Butter-Krust
would be made Just like the

Lesson December 2, Nehemiah 4.
BY BIN NEWSOfN

Lesson December 2, Nehe miah 4.
The story of how, under the guild
ance of Nehemiah, the Jews rebuilt
the walls of Jerusalm in the face of
determined opposition from almost
all their neighbors, and how n wide
spread conspiracy to defeat them was
brought to naught, makes one of the
interesting chapters of the history of
this people. We cannot avoid being
interested in the idea of this great
work going on with part of the men
doing the labor while the others stood
near by with their weapons ready so
that on the instant the alarm was
sounded every laborer was trans
formed into a soldier ready to do bat
tie for his home and his family. The
story has an added interest TO us just
now when the government has taken
from among our people portion who
should maintain the honor of the flag
on foreign shores, in order that the
rest of us might continue to live in
safety and in the enjoyment of our
treasured rights. Truly with us a por-
tion of the citizenship must bear the
arms while the rest of us stand ready
to help them wicld those arms should
the necessity arise
1t seem sthat the people round
about the land of Judea were very
much disappointed that so much prog
ress was being made in restoring the
home of the Jewish people and the
center of their religious thot. Dis
satisfaction finally took form in a con-
spiracy between the leaders of various
antagonistic tribes with n view to
stopping the work by military on
slaught upon the workers. The Jews
themselves were lacking in enthusiasm
and only the efforts of Nehemiah and
a few of his faithful lieutenants made
it possible TO keep them diligently
and persistently laboring toward ac-
complishment. 1t is hard thing to
keep n whole race of people sufficient
~ enthused on any one subject that
they will persist in laboring toward
one certain end. Most people get
tired and discouraged when the object
sought for is far distant of accom-
plishment and when they are forced
TO work under difficulties and in the
face of determined opposition. People
like to do that which brings results
quickly Zeal is easy to arouse bu.
hard to keep at high point. Had IL
not been for the sturdy faith of Nehe-
miah and his genius for admlnistra-
uon, they would either have been
caught mapping and slaughtered by
their eneimes, or would have quit the
job in disgust. But Nehemiah was
u man with a definite and fixed pur-
pose, backed by faith and a con-

Keep up the good work. you men OF
grim right,
Never finch in your duty, nor halt in
the fight
In defense of our homes against an

Give them hell II they move, and don't
spare the pain.
How to the line that you've started 10

Thongs and tar is too good for that
murderous crew.
Sterner methods henceforth will show
them that we

wrath that's To come
Let them know that the knights"

If ere in the future overt acts they
commit,
Biff them quick, let the world know

End their reign in this town, though

Ring down their curtain, make them

Then contentment will reign; and
when this is done
You'll be rid Of one ally OF the "Tcr-

stancy that impelled the lazy and the
pessmistic to obey him. He had had
too clear an insight into the power
and purpose of God to restore his peo-
pie. and he knew the power of prayer.
Against such a combination of leader
ship qualities the discontented ones
had no show for success. Such is the
great good of an intelligent and pious
leadership. Give us just cause, with
Cody man to lead, and the powers
of evil will seek in vain to subvert
the efforts Of the righteous.
May we not find some parallel in
the present events that are so rapidly
writing new chapter in the history
of mankind. The powers of evil havg
long watched with jealous eye the
progress of human betterment the
growth of the idea of liberty, and have
conspired together to overthrow the
influences OF Christianity in the world
before the wall gets too strong for
them to scale. They have defied the
will of God and have set up for them
selves n deity of their own conception
one who could be called upon to in
dorse and justify their unholy de-
signs. They have thrown all Chris
tian principle and teaching to the
winds and, like Sanballet. have de-
pended on the argument of brute
force as mightier power than right
and justice. Their designs have not
met with success, but have constituted.
such a menace as to terrify Gods
people and wake them up to the ne
cessity of taking up arms to defend
their rights. But, following the ex-
ample of Nehemiah. we must proceed
TO go forth to battle with a supreme
trust in Jehovah. We must watch
and pray. God has put it into our
hands to deliver the earth from this
caurse of anti-Christ, and we are worse
than infidels If we fail to rise to the
occasion and do our full duty in the
fear of God.
1t is idle to say that the enemy ap-
peals to God for support and that we
cannot claim justly that God is on our
side and fighting against our enemies.
Anybody can claim Gods support in
words and protestations. but the test
