LESSON TEXT-Nehemiah 18:15-22. GOLDEN TEXT-Remember the Sab ath Day to keep it holy.-Exod. 20:8. Nehemiah remained in Jerusalem velve years, from B. C. 444 to B. C. 32. He was then recalled and was i Persia some years, perhaps five or even, but returned about B. C. 425, 1e year Artaxerxes died, for we know mt he returned by permission of that ing. Therefore, the date of this les n would be sometime in the summer r early autumn of 426 or 427 B. 0., [ or 18 years following last Sunday's sson. In the section, vv. 10-14, we see that he gs for the house of God and he Levites, who led in worship, had een neglected. Whenever the house f God and its service of worship is eglected, we may expect that the Sab ath day and the worship of God will Iso soon fall into contempt. Ezra has ropped out of our history without a im as to his end. I. "Remember" (v. 14) the Qleglect f God's House. (vv. 1-14). The neg ?ct of God's house grew up out of the cursion of heathenism into ,Jewish fe. Nehemiah realized that the pur ty of the rice depended upon absolute eparation from the mixed multitude. v. 3). Nehemiah also confronted the ifilculty of having a priest ,(vv. 4, 5), ho had defiled himself and also dese rated the temple, and finally the por lon for the support of the priest and be temple worship had been withheld. v. 10). II. "Remember" (v. 12) the Sab ath Day. (vv. 15-22). Nehemliah's ext and most difficult reform was re arding the fourth commandment. He t once set about to learn the facts; hen relates what he saw (v. 15). The rcord also tells how he testified gainst them in that they were selling ierehandise on the Sabbath day. He ontended with the nobles that they ad done evil on the Sabbath day. (v. 7). He testified against them that me merchants and sellers of ware had )dged about and within Jerusalem. vv. 20, 21). The root of the trouble rith Judah was that they forgot God's ;ord and followed the devices and de ires of their own hearts. The Jewish labbath in its outward form on the xact day of the week is not binding pon Gentile Christians (Col. 2:16, 17): t was given to Israel as a people, Deut. 5:1, 2), as a memorial of their dfiverance out of the land of Egypt nd the house of bondage. (Deut.5:d)d 'he Christian, by the death of Christ, made dead to the letter of the law t Moses, (Deut. 7:4), but the prin ple of the Sabbath is older than even Ie lawv of Moses and is as binding pon the Christian believer as are the any other principles which underlie le Mosaic law. In its exact form, thle wventh day, the observance of the abbath belongs to the old order and at to the Christian order. Christ, who inse from tihe dead (Rom. 7:4), rose an the first (lay of the wveek, and wve, s .loined to Christ, are not under oh gations to the Mosaic law, but to hirist. Therefore, tile Lord's day, the asurrection day, tihe first day of tihe eek, (Rev. 1 :10; JTohn 21 :20; 1 :19 3; Acts 27), Is the day of privilege, at of obligation and is more sacred us thian tile SabhaZthl (lay of these wew.

Tis should beC a warn ig anld an 'xhlortation to us in these nlys of a sceularized Sabblathl. Il. "Remember" (v. 29) the Holy riesthosod. (vv. 23-31). In tis section 'e see thmat the pde(sthlood hadl even efiled themselves with women, and nin this Nehemiah entered ulpon a eansing prdcess, (vv. 30-31). Tile use this word "remliemlber" in verses 14. and 29 gives strong emphasis to tihe ree cardinal sins against wvhichi Ne emiah was battling. IV. Summary: As in Nehemlank's me, so now, Sabbath desecration is me surest road to national ruin, and a .rge proportion of our present calam y can be traced to growing irrever ince for the Lord's day. Jesus swvept vay the cobwvebs of Sabbath Irrever. ince, bult did not tear down tile house. e kept the pmrinciple, biut removed tile mrnaeles with wvhichl the Pharisees ind Jewvs had encumbered it. Jesus Lught thlat tihe Sabbathl was made for an andi not man for the Sabbath, unark 2 :27, 28), and he set himself as a exammple in this regard, for he Is ordl of that day as well as the other ;lys of tile wveek.
