Sunday School Lesson

every problem of humanity that is
pressing for solution.
One cannot understand the 1itera-
ture of the world. certainly not of
the English speaking nations. If they
do not understand the sacred Scrip
ture. for its influence upon litera-
ture. law and life of men has been
unsurpassed Gods word cannot be
understood if il is studied merely as
literature. The power of the Bible
is due to the fact that holy men of
old spoke as they were moved by the
Holy Spirit" EZra's collection of the
Sacred Books was not as large as
our Bible, but he recognized that the
only way to understand Gods word
was through spiritual appreciation
of its truths. so he commenced his
public teachings of the law. with
prayer. There is no better way to
master the Book of Books than
through prayer, that opens up and
fits the unseen powers of the soul to
understand the word of the Lord.
The people listened attentively to
the impressive reading and interpre-
tation of the word. that was trans
lated into the vernacular of the peo-
pie and whose meaning was made
clear to them. 1t gripped them with
the convictions of their sin and the
certainty of Judgment Ezra did not
allow them to mourn. for he and
Nehemiah recalled TO them the evil
dence of Gods grace as a basis for
their being comforted. The masses,
who heard the Bible read to them,
proved the genuineneSs of their con-
viction of sin and desire to do Gods
will by restoring the harvest festival,
which had long been neglected. They
appointed fast days and sought dill
gently for forgiveness. The cove
nant with God was Solemnly renewed
by the rulers signing the pledge of
allegiance. They commenced to re-
adjust their social life by stopping
mixed marriages. They ceased the
eXaction of debts contracted on
pledges and refused to buy even for
eiGn goods that had been brought
into their country on the Sabbath
They removed from the priests any
danger of want by providing to pay
a definite sum for their salaries.
They freed them from secular work
sacrifices. They honored God by
adopting the tithing system of giving
and dedicating to Jehovah the first
fruits of the harvest.
Our age is not unlike that of the
days of Ezra and Nehemiah. Men are
thinking about religion as never be-
the spirit of God is leading them
back TO the Bible, which is the foun-
tain of living water that will pre-
commercial and church life Greene
has traced the influence of Bible
study upon the life of the English
people. Every principle that charac-
terizes the present civilization and
that of the motherhood and America
is due to the influence of the Scrip
lures upon our life as a people The
hope for our maintaining our place
among the nations rests upon our
studying and practicing the teach
lngs of the Bible. 1t is still true
that the law of the Lord is perfect,
converting the SOUL" and in obedience
to its teachings lies our path to per-
manent peace, prosperity and power
