in the land who sought first to unite with the jews but when that was refused did all they could to hinder the carrying out of their plans there are many lessons to be learned from a care ful study of ezra and nehemiah which are most vauable for the remnant people of god today who are endeavoring to maintain a testi mony for the truth in a time of widespread apostasy verse by yersc neh 8 1 all the people gather ed themselves together and they spake unto ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of moses this was after the wall had been built and the gates set up it marked a return not onlyto jerusalem but to god and his word all true re vival comes from giving that word its rightful place in the hearts and lives of the people of the lord verse 2 ezra the priest brought the law before all that could hear with understanding it was what we would call today a great bible conference when the whole company came together not to hear sermons or to enjoy other religious exercises but to listen to the read ing- and exposition of the holy scriptures verse 3 he read therein from the morning until midday and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law that book had boon neglected to a reat extent foe years before and during the captivity now there was a real hunger for the word and an earneset desire to know what god had spoken through his inspired servants notably moses through whom the law was given verse 4 ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood which would give him a position where all might see him and from which vantage place he could the better make himself heard with him were associated a group of teaching levites who assisted by passing the word on to the farthest limits of the crowd verse 5 ezra opened the book and all the people stood up as the word was unfolded the throng rose to their feet and stood listening reverently as the scrip tures were read and expounded i verse 6 ezra blessed the lord the great god and they bowed their heads and worshipped it was a very moving scene as the service was opened with an expres sion of i adoration on the part of ezra and the entire congregation bowed before god acknowledging his power and glory this was followed by the exposition of the scriptures verse 8 they read in the book distinctly and gave the sense and caused them to understand the reading note the order here the scriptures were read in the original hebrew which had become already an archaic language to many be cause sojourn in chaldea then the hebrew was translated into ara maic the spoken language after the return this is implied in the ex pression gave the sense lastly the text was expounded so the people might all get its true import this is effective preaching of the word if there were more of it to day there would be far better re sults than from so much preaching that is simply the setting forth of human opinion verse 12 all the people went their way to eat and to drink and to send portions and to make great mirth because they had understood the words a time of happy fellow ship on the part of the hearers followed the exposition of the word because of the joy that filled the hearts of the people who had understood and appreciated the opening up of the truth as revealed in the book of the law chap- 91 thechudren of israel were assembled with fasting and with sackclothes after some three weeks during which there had been ample opportunity to meditate upon what they had hear another gathering was called and the people again presented themselves before the lord and his servants this time in humiliation an mgm picture i to avoid disappointment take advantage of the v early showing idtffo regular matinee saturday at 2 pm children 5c warners iiry wednesday and thursday may 30 and 31 screens

iniquities of their fathers convicted of the evils resulting from unequal yokes 2 cor 6 14 with the wicked in habitants of the land the people of the loyd separated themselves not from their fellow israelites but from these idolatrousi strangers and in contrition of heart judged their past compromising behavior and confessed their own disobe dience and departure from god and the evil ways of their fathers as a result which god had dealt with them in judgment verse 3 they read in the book one fourth part of the day and another fourth part they con fessed and worshipped the order here is most instructive the word of god is profitable for reproof and correction 2 tim 3 16 so they spent the first part of the day over the scripture in order that they might learn the mind of the lord and see wherein they had failed then the next part of the day they acknowledged these failures judg ing all in the light of the word and when their consciences were freed by confession they worship ed the lord for his lovingkindness in bearing with them and revealing his word to them the heart of the lesson although god is too faithful to his people to permit them to go unchastened if they turn away from the path of faithfulness to his word he is ever ready to grant forgiveness and restoration when they- turn back to himself it was thus he dealt with the people of judah of old and in the same way he deals with his children now but he looks for true selfjudgment in the light of his word which will result in separation from all known evil and a cleaving to himself in- truth and uprightness of heart where the word is allowed to speak and the life is ordered in accordance with it there will al ways be blessing and recovery even though there has been sad backsliding and declension farrs
