SPEER JONES Today we concentrate on two important. men in history. All the passages in today's lesson are taken from the book of Ezra, the man often regarded as "the father of the scribes." However, although he was such an important man in biblica) history, we know almost noth- ing ut him, He tells us (in chapter seven, verses 1-5) that he came from a long line of priests, descended from the high 'priest Aaron. and expound them to the peo- ple, 5 We don't know when Ezra was born, but we do know that he came into prominence about 458 B.C., when he obtained from the Persian ruler, Artaxerxes, permission and aid to recolonize} Israel. (See Ezra 7.) The events described in the first six chapters of the book of Ezra occyrred before his time. The hook opens with the begin- Friends Fete .

So Ezra was a. born priest, but more than that he was a scholar--as he himself says, a man skilled in the law of Moses, that is, with the interpretation of the first five books of the Bible. Prior ot his time the major religious leaders were the priests and the prophets, Ezra and the scribes who followed him were.to become more im- portant than the priests or the years prior to Ezra's expedition, or in 538 B.C. This was 48 years) after the fall of Jerusalem. The year 538 B.C, marked the end of the brief supremac¥ of the Bab- ylonian Empire, as it capitu- lated in a single campaign to Cyrus. It seems worthwhile to devote some time to this great Persian. His origins are clothed in some mystery, accentuated by the legends which grow up around such a heroic figure, He seems to have been. a true Persian hets, as leaders of the peo- ple, They would study the laws from birth, a prince of an ob- scure tribe around Murghab (Pasargadae), He soon conquered the Median empire, then attacked and yan- quished the famous Croesus of Lydia in a single stroke and de- molished the Babylonians, thus building an empire which \stretched from the Indus and Jaxartes to the Aegaean and the boundaries of Egypt. He died in 528 B.C., in another war far- ther east. Historians are agreed in their praise of this man, not only as a soldier and statesman, but as a noble and humane person. Never did he destroy a town or kill a captive kipg. His treat- ment of the ylonians was like that a_ constitutional monarch, carefully guarding his people's rights, GOLDEN TEXT: Ezra 7:10.

Much is being written about Marilyn and about those who made money out of her career. But we haven't heard much about the moral condition of a people who made such a eer possible. tt is written of Adam and Eve in Genesis 2:25, "and they were both naked, the man and his wife and were not asham- ed." When they disobeyed God's command and ate of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, 'the eyes of them both were opened, a they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves to- gether, and made themselves aprons." This generation is trying to be unnatural with regard to the human body. Sex is looked upon as something to be exploited ra- ther than a cherished endow- ment for the well-being and con, tinuance of the race, For our sin we are reaping a harvest of illegitimacy, divorcee, unhappi- ness and nervous breakdowns. plain his remarkably charitable conduct toward the exiled Jews in Babylonia, Among his first acts as ruler was the edict per- mitting and encouraging their return to their native land--and it must be remembered that Cy- rus was a Zoroastrian, a pagan who spoke of God as one of many. His religious tolerance and sympathy added to his re- markable ability to control men, for it gave him a firm fol- lowing among the various re- -- groups in his huge em- pire, is worthwhile: the sacred joys of courtship and marriage, beauty as the expression of chaficter, reading the Bible 'and other literature that helps to build noble character. This generation is confusing sensuality: with love and is sick -- on sensuality. We plead for freedom for people to do what they please about scanty attire or no attire, publishing obscene literature, etc. We overlook the fact that when we transgress God's holy commandments, we forfeit freedom and become vic- tims of a_ horrible d LISTEN TO THE FAMILY BIBLE HOUR SUNDAY 3:30 TO 6:00 P.M.

True free- dom is found when we forsake our sins and commit ourselves in full surrender and faith to Jesus Christ. The acclaim of the world is not so important after all.
