only a remnant availed themselves of this privilege the great majority prefered to remain in the lands of their enemies hence they were exposed in a special way to the malice of hainan the agagite who was a royal amalekite one of the hereditary enemies of israel but when he thought he had perfected a plan to destroy all the jews as adolph hitler in our own day the lord under took on behalf of his people and delivered them through the faithfulness of mordecai and the devotion of queen esther he rhastens his people because of dis obedience and selfwill but he never forsakes or forgets them verse by verse esther 4 10 again esther spake and gave him command ment unto mordecai the previous chapter tels how chiming haman the jews enemy contrived to have king ahasherus sign an edict con demning all the jews in his dominions to be pht to death on a sperified date when mordecai who had brohght esther up as his own daughter heard of this he put on sakcloth as a sign of mourning and atempted to contact the young jewish queen to acquaint her with the plot against al her people and to urge her to intercede with the king on their behalf not under standing she at first sent new clothing to mordecai to replace the sackcloth this he refused to accept through hatach one of the palace chamberlains she sent a second time to explain why she did not fel free to go into the roya presence uncalled for verse 11 whosoever shall come into the inner court who is not caled there is one law of his to put him to death doubtless this stringent rule was intended to pro tect the king from assassination but it debarred esther as well as others unless indeed the king shal hold out the golden sceptre esther herself had not been called for a full month and so feared to go in unsolicited verse 12 they told to mor decai esthers words which how ever only revealed the fact that she had as yet no realization of the peril in which she herself stood as belonging to the hated nation that haman moved by satan was determined to destroy had the plot succeeded the prop hecies concerning the son of abra ham and son of david who was to come to bless the whole world could never have been fulfilled verse 13 think not that thou shalt escape even the kings house could not protect a jewess from hainans venegeance if his plot was allowed to be carried out versell who knoweth wheth er thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this mordecai das confident that israel would be delivered if esther failed to accept responsibility another would be raised up to thwart hamans plan but might she herself have been placed in her position of nearness to the king in order that she might be the chosen instrument for the deliverance of her people verse 15 10 fast ye for me and so will i go unto the king and if i perish i perish we have here no word concerning prayer nor any mention of god yet it is evident that both were in esthers mind she called upon the people to fast as an evidence of their deep sense of the need of divine help that her own confi dence was in the unnamed one is clear she was ready to face the king trusting that his heart would be moved to receive her graciously but if otherwise she was ready to lay down her life for her people verse 17 so mordecai did according to all that esther had commanded him thus the three days and nights of fasting began and the people waited to see what god would do for them the follow ing chapters tell how god inter vened and delivered the jews chap 9 2022 mordecai wrote these things that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month adar and the fifteenth day of the same thus a new annual feast known as purim was estab lished to be celebrated joyfully be cause of the way in which the jews had been delivered from their enemies these days are kept by the jews to this day as the most joyius festival of the year verse 2g they called these days purim after the name of pur which means the lot iemember- ing how haman had cast lots to obtain a favorable day upon which to put his nefarious scheme into execution he had to learn that the lot is cast into the lap but the gormley june 3 194s mrs

un failing care for his people even when they were scattered among the nations the heart of the lesson we may not always be able to understand gods dealing with us but we may be certain that an over ruling providence is ever watching over us and that whether we realize it or not he who has taken us into covenantrelationship with himself always stands between us and our foes he can be depended upon to make all work out for our blessing if we but trust and serve him and when disobedience has destroyed our communion he cares for us still and is working all things for our good this is the
