"GETTING THE Big idea FIXED"
The International Sunday School Lesson For December
Is Ezra and Nehemiah Teach the Law"
Nehemiah Chap.
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS

is the church which holds reunions
and socials. not for money-making
purposes, but solely to promote his
Self-realization of the organization.
The churches which expect to have
crowds of worshipers merely by the
fact of opening their doors, may take
lesson from EZra's procedure. He
was Ezra. the great leader, and all
the people had special reason to give
heed to his words, but he organized
and planned for this rally as thor
oughly as churches make ready for n
Billy Sunday campaign. 1t was not
a one-man meeting; Ezra had with
him a corps of assistants, judiciously
placed. He was after results and not
after reputation for himself. The
occasion was a prepared one, an an
ticipated one, and an enthusiastic
one for the "get-together" spirit had
hold of the people.
"And Gave the Sense"
A man was speaking upon the pos
sibilities of Mesopotamia's cotton
crop, but he took it or granted that
his hearers were more familiar with
geography than was the case, so he
was surprised when q friend said to
him, "A man was telling me about
your speech upon the possibilities of
cotton in China" The speaker had
not been careful to make his hearers
understand. which is as truly the
speakers responsibility as it is the
listeners. Most persons listen to the
Bible without expecting to under
stand 1t as they understand the news
paper. Their knowledge of Mesopo-
tamia is as hazy as their knowledge
of the Hittites or the lands of Paul's
journeys. A Sunday school teacher
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-12-07

shouted "Amen!" and bowed them
selves to the earth in contrition, and
listened for dear life for six short
hours. No sermons are long when
they are messages of life, from living
men to living men. Emotions? OF
course there was emotion. There is
always emotion when hearts are
deeply stirred. There is emotion when
a man tells a woman of his love.
There is emotion over the birth of
the firstborn. There is emotion at the
deathbed. There is emotion when a
countrys call is heard by patriots.
The stirring of the deep always pro-
duces emotion, and the academic OBJ
lection to emotion in connection
with religion is little less than abb
surd.
The lesson of this whole lesson is
obvious. 1t is that the surest way to
the most abiding religious revival is
by the study of the Word of God.
Give the people the Book and they
can do without an evangelist. The
entrance of the Word gives light and
life and fortitude and conviction ana
lowliness and peace. The people who
have come upon a revival of Bible
study have the best reason to be glad
and grateful, as the Jews after The
festival of study of the law. They
celebrated because the. had learned
anew the Pentateuch: how much
greater should be the celebration of
those who have the living Gospel as
their light and their strength!

ticular where the mother caught a
: heavy cold when her first baby was
six months old. She doctored quite
awhile but did not seem to get any
better. She came to me one evening
and wanted me to go with her to see
another doctor. So we went to his
office and the doctor tested her
lungs thoroughly; then he asked her
all manner OF questions. He did not
tell her what he thought, but told
her TO use plenty of milk and fresh
eggs and take Cod Liver Oil. When
we got outside the office she purst
out crying and said, he might as well
have told me the truth, l know l
have consumption. l said, Well the
doctors don't always know every
thing Don't take the Cod Liver
Oil. Come, we will go to the drug
store and get DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and take that. I'll
bet before you take six bottles you
can go and tell those doctors you are
worth a dozen dead people, and be-
fore she had finished the second bot
tie she was rid of that soreness
through her lungs and did not
cough but very little. After she had
taken six bottles she was a well
woman. After that if she ever got a
cold the Discovery was all she used.
She was never troubled with her
lungs afterward. Mrs. Jennie Low

who exhibited with pride a map of
Bible lands showing Ur of the Chal-
dees as down in the land of Edom,
was not very much embarrassed
when the mistake was pointed out.
The assumption is that all that per-
tains to the Bible is somewhat vague
and conjectural. One does not expect
a book of travels or a history or a
novel.
That state of mind was given a
severe jolt by Ezra, who in this great
Bible-reading assembly had the law
read so that the record runs, "knd
they read in the book of law dis
tinctly, and gave the sense, so that
they understood the reading" No
other book is read so unintelligently
as the Scriptures. Philips question
to the Ethiopian eunuch might we'll
be repeated to many a Christian at
his private devotions, Understand
est thou what thou readest?"
Often the Bible is treated as a sort
of charm or incantation, to be read
because there is virtue in it, but not
because II is understood. Some folk,
following this good luck method
open their Bible at random for their
daily reading, trusting to be guided
thereby, though it is usually the

determines the pages at which the
volume will open most easily. The
only Bible reading that is worth the
time spent upon it is Bible reading
which gives the reader the sense OF
what he has read. Otherwise, one
might as well read last years al
manac, or q volume of cuneform in
structions.

ton a few years ago q professor in

is the sort of reading of the Penta-
teuch which the multitude of Jews
alongside of the water gate heard
that day so long ago.

A Get-Together Meeting

Many cities in the southern and
western parts of the, United States,
have entered upon a regular cam
paign of advertising and promotion.
They have adopted slogans and en-
blems, and assiduously WOO increased
prosperity. The first step in every
such campaign is to get the people
together, and to make them feel their
civic solidarity. No committee of
businessmen can boom a city sue
cessfully, unless there be. present the
genuinely unified community con-
sCiouSness.
Ezra had never studied psychology,
but he knew human nature, which is
the same thing, so his first step, in
the great religious and law-observing
revival which he projected for Jeru-
salem. was to get all the people to-
gether in one place. He wanted them
to become conscious of themselves, to
see one another, and to feel the
thrill of the elbow touch" of which
old soldiers talk. Into the broad
place before the water gate the whole
assembly of the people gather. Wise

Leaders Real and Sham

Sir Robertson Nicoll, the great
British editor and critic, once gave
me his impression of certain public
men on this side of the water. Con-
cerning one famous man he said that
He manages to keep just step in
front of the crowd, and he is ever
looking back over his shoulder to see
if they are following" That is a
definition of many. a popular politi-
clan; but the term leader" must be
denied him. The truly great states
man is the one who leads the way to
what he believes to be righteousness
and honor and public welfare. He is
less concerned about peoples ap-
plause than about their progress.
Fortunately, Jerusalem had that
kind of leaders during and after the
rebuilding of the walls. Nehemiah
and Ezra cared more for helping
their people than for pleasing them.
They never hesitated to point out
the dangers which resided in the
hearts of the Jews, as we'll as those
which arose from without the city
walls. They were true leaders, and
followers of the crowd who managed
to keep in front of the procession,
like small boys running at the head
of a circus parade.
Once the wall was finished. these
leaders planned for a great festival of
recognition of the law of the nation,
which was the law of Jehovah. 1t
is the degree of a communitys rever-
ence for law that measures its real
stability. A common misapprehen-
sion is that it is the volume of busi-
ness that determines a community's
strength; but this is not so. The
strength of the law is the strength

Mr.. James II. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him helpless
and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years OF
ccaseless study, that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the &C
cumulated impurities commonly cali
ed uric acid desposits, were dissolved
in the joints and muscles and eXpell-
ed from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and
finally compounded a prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom of rheumatism
from his system.
He freely gave his discovery to
others who took it, with W hat might
be called marvellous success. After

In these days when everybody
talks recruiting, from Roosevelt to
Billy Sunday, it's interesting to
realize that not only are armies and
navles and churches filed by discreet
advertising, but there was once a
town that was supplied with settlers
III the same up TO date way.
The traveller to Liverpool saves a
whole day by going to Halifax in
stead OF New York. Therefore the
tidy little capital Of Nova Scotia is
an asset in war time, considering the
way the U-boats sing the Hymn of
Hate. Considering also that Canada
Is supplying 500,o09 the very best
troops our Allies have.
And Halifax was the town that
was recruited.
This is the story. The Earl Of
Halifax, head of TIE Lords Commits
sioners of Trade and Commerce in
l749, received a request from Boston
that fortified settlement be placed
somewhere between it and the
French at Quebec who had an I'M
comfortable habit Of raiding south
ward.

For the sake of argument sup

set by many for the coming Of the

that to be the time would have been
foolish to continue the performance

the consequence was that If there

most Objectionable feature of this
