CO-LABORERS WITH GOD. Nehomiah iv?Dec 3. **TFo<c* ye. ttand fast Hi the faith; quit you I Ute otcn; be ?trong."?t Corinthian* xvi. ts. '^TEHEMIAH'S PRAYER for Je l^j rusalem and tbe ?oly Inter I esta centered tbere continued / for months before tbe answer ?suddenly came. Tbe king, whom be served as confidential secretary, made ?? banquet, tbe queen being present as iwell as Nehemiah and others. Every body was smiling and joyous, attired *fa their silks and jewels, but the King noticed that his trusted secretary had _e sadness wbicb showed through his amiles. Finding tbat be was uot HI be -?aid that It must be a trouble of heart --and Inquired as to what it was. it -was a dangerous moment for Nehe im i a b. for the Usings of that time qwere quite auto cade and capri -ciocs. The sad ,aesu might have ifeeen construed to r ?e?.u a loss of In terest in the king ?nd bis a hairs, or <a hundred thing* ^disapproved for iSrocb an occasion ?f rejoicing. "Why to thy counts H e b e m i a b'? ??prayer instantly went up to God for TWisclom to know how to answer, for fee did not receive the wisdom at once, -although he had prayed beforehand. Be knew that the Almighty could bear bis desires of heart, uttered or -?expressed. He received" tbe needed -wisdom for a wise and successful re jpiy which did not offend the King but unlisted bis interest. He told tbe King -that his sadness of heart was because "the home of his fathers was ruined. STbe result was tbat the King appolnt -?d him special governor of Juden with full authority to attend to the work -and to call upon the governors of sur rounding provinces for aid if neces sary. Wisdom Shown by Methods. 1 Tbat Nebemiah was a wise man and mo mere dreamer was evidenced in the [practical methods be employed. A suaa of wealth, be probably financed Ills own expedition, aside from the ret finue of soldiers, etc.. furnished by the lug. A four months' journey brought lem to Jerusalem. He perceived tbe necessity for great lutlon. as enemies were on every md as anxious to binder them us be fwno anxious for success. : Nebemiab joined in the work with -the others, bis accompanying servants jparticipatinjr also. His spirit of zeal jw&a as inspiration to tbe discouraged Eiple. who took heart and hope began thrive. Then came discouragement I opposition from tbe enemies. The Irdgher the walls grew the more diffi cult it was to place the stones and mortar, und the' more - stones built into tbe wall the fewer suitable ones re mained amougst tbe rubbish. It was a time of testing of fnitli and loyalty to God. Trials and lienemiah collects difficulties arc money. permitted to come rt? all of God's people for just such (testings. The overcomers are devel -jsped through various experiences for 'the Divine service. ??Stand Fast In tho Faith." It may be asked why Nehemiah's faithfulness and courage were tested, -and what reward was his. We reply that a reward of character-develop itnent follows every good endeavor E*"'ie reward of those who lived faitb ly in Nehemiah's time differs essen lly from the reward of the faithful ?jamougst the followers of Jesus. The [latter are promised a share with the IMuater in His glorious Messianic Kiug ?'dorj. "Fear not. little flock, it is your ^Father's good pleasure to give you tbe {Kingdom." "To bim that overcometb will 1 grant to sit with. Me in My ?fihrone." J 1 But Nebemiah could have no share In these Kingdom promises because tie :llved befora tbe call to tbe Kingdom? before Pentecost He and others of bis time who displayed faithfulness and loyalty are not personally men tioned by St. Pan I in Hebrews ii. bul they are undoubtedly Included iu the list. Of them Jh.- Apostle declared. ?"They Lad this testimony, that they pleased Hod" St Pittll declares that tbey will receive their reward?a share In the earthly phase of the Kingdom, after the Church shall first have re ceived her share with the Redeemer In the heavenly phase of the Kingdom, for "they without us shall not be nnade |>erfect. (?od having in ruserva rtiou some better tbiug for us."?He ibrews xi. 3X-40. j St. Paul's words in our text teach (the same great lesson of the necessity (for character development on the part )of nil who might hope to be heirs of God and Joint-heirs with Jesus Christ their Lord. They niu^t watch as well as pray, they must "stand fast In the jfaltb" against the various oppoaiflons (of \he world, the flesh and the Adver sary. They must acquit themselves (like men. "strong in the Lord and in the jKjwer of Ills nii^'hL" They must be strongly developed by trials, did! cuttles and obstacles overcome. Circuit Court Sale. JState of South Carolina.
