Prompt and careful attention given THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON XIV, FOURTH QUARTER, IN TERNATIONAL SERIES, DEC. 31. Text of the Lesson, a Comprehensive Quarterly Review-Golden Text, Px. lxv, 11-Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. [Copyright, 1905, by American Press Association.] LEssoN L-Daniel and Belshazzar (Dan. v, 17-30). Golden Text, Ps. xxxiv, 16, "The face of the Lord is against them that do evil." This lesson seems to be summed up in the words, "The God in whose hand thy breath is and whose are all thy ways hast thou not glorified." Note the powerlessness of human wisdom to understand the words of God, but Daniel, a man of God, knew them. LEsSoN IL-Daniel in the ion's den (Dan. vi, 10-23). Golden Text, Ps. xxxiv, 7, "The angel of the Lord en campeth round about them that fear Him and delivereth them." All who live godly will suffer persecution, for it is only through tribulation we can enter the kingdom, and the servant is not greater than his Lord, but those who know their God shall be strong and do. LESSON IIL.-Returning from captiv ity (Ezra 1, 1-11). Golden Text, Ps. exxvi, 3, "The Lord bath done great things for us; we are glad." The events of this and other lessons in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah were ful fillments of the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, for "every pir pose-of the Lord shall be performed" (Jer. 11, 29). He put teth down one and setteth up another and doeth according to His will. LEssoN IV.-Rebuilding the temple (Ezra 1ii, 10, to iv, 5). Golden Text, I Cor. 'ii, 17, "The temple of God Is holy, which temple ye are." Israel, the peculiar people of God, must have a tabernacle or a temple that their God may dwell among them (Ex. xxv, 8), so, having returned to Jerusalem, they lay the foundation and begin t, re build, but there are many adversaries to hinder the work. LEssox V.-Power through God's Spirit (Zech. Iv, 1-10). Golden Text, Zech. iv, 6, "Not by might, not by pow er, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord." By Haggai and Zechariah, the Lord's messengers, whom He had strengthened by His word and by visions, the people were encouraged, the work resumed and the building finished (Ezra vi, 14, 15). So all that God has purposed shall he finished in His time. LEssoN VI.-Fsther pleading for her people (Est. iv, 10, to v. 8). Golden Text, Ps. cxlv, 20, "The Lord preserv eth all them that love Him." Esther, the deliverer of her people, taking the place of death on their behalf, cannot but suggest the only True Deliverer who died In our stead, who was made a'curse for us that 'We might not per ish. LEssoN VII.-Ezra's journey to Jeru salem (Ez. vili, 21-32). Golden Text, "The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek Him." The peculiar feature of his journey was that, having boasted to the king of the wonderful care of his God for all who put their trust in Him, he refused to dccept an escort, but relied upon God. LESsoN VIII. - Nehemiah's prayer (eh. 1, 1-11). Golden Text, Jas. v, 16, "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth muelz." Some thirteen years after Ezra had returned to Jerusalem;. Nehemish was still In the faroff land, and, hearing of the dis tress in Jerusalem, was much moved, and while fulfilling the duties appoint ed him he gave himself to prayer and fasting on behalf of his people and city. After three months of patient paying his prayer was granted. LEssoN IX.--Abstinence for the sake of others (I Car. x, 23-38). Go'Iden Text, I Cor. x, 12, "Let hima that think eth he standeth take heed lest he fall." In our last lesson we saw, Nehemiah fasting and praying on behalf of his people, and this lesson teaches self denial for the sake of 'others. This is set forth fully also in Rom. xiv and Is well summarized in I Cor. lx, 27, as a subduing of self lest am- service should be disapproved. See also uII, 14, 15. LEssoN X.--Nehemiah rebuilds the walls of Jerusalem (Neh, li, 7-20). Golden Text, Matt. xxvi, 41, "Watcl and pray." Here, again, as when the temple was rebuilt, the enemies of the Lord are very much in evidence, revil ing and hindering, but by prayer and watchfujness and patient toil the work was finished and the enemy compelled to admit that it was the Lord's doing (vi, 15, 16). The people had a mind to work (iv, 6), and each did the work which was nearest to him (iii, 28, 29). LEssoN XI.--Reading and obeying the law (Nehi. Y-lli, 8-18). Golden Text, Luke xi, 28, "Blessed are they that bear the word of God and keep It." There is no need -so great for the peo ple of God as a knowledge of the word of God and a meek reception of It and a willing obedience to- It. It is the business of the teacher and preacher to call the attention of the people to what God has said in His word, for He has made it very plain (Deut. xvii, 8: Hab. ii, 2). LEssoN XIL.- Preparation for the Messiah (Mal. iii, 1-12). Golden Texf, al. iii, 1, "I will send My messenger, and he shall prepare the way before Me." Salvation is of the Jews, and Israel must know the Lord before the nations, as such, can. This will be at EHis coihing in glory, which will be-pre eded by the preaching of Elijah (iv, 5). LEssoN XIII.-The character of the Messiah (Isa. ix, 1-7). Golden Text. Matt. 1, 21, "Thou shalt call His name JES'S, for He shall save His people from. their sins." Whether we con sider Him as the Messiah of Israel or the great head of the church or our own personal Lord and Saviour. He is all that He is said to be in this lesson, and when we iknow Him as such we shall want to make Him known. To Save One's Bacon. "To save one's bacon"-that is, to make a narrow escape-is supposed to refer to the Dunmow flitch. For many centuries it w.as the custom at Dun mow, in England, to present a filtch of bacon to a married -couple of twenty years' standing who would make oath on the Scriptures that they had never had a quarrel. To, come close to a quarrel without an actual rupture was, in the popular dialect, "to save one's bacon." vr:y Bit as Good, "av'e you a belt that will go about -g waist':" asked thie young lady with asmile as she entered the dry goods atore. 'No, but I have something just as. good," replied the young man who for merly worked in a drug store.-Yon kers Statesman. Evoir'tion of a Joke. "What be'- aes of a joke when it gets too old for the almanac?" "The theatrical programme gets It."' "And from there it's but a step to the musical comedy, eh?"-Philadel hia Bul1etin In Praise of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
