The leader of the lirsi colipaly wits Zerubbabel, a sort ol military governor. The great need ilom was for a religious leader, for tht people had gone far from God, as w( see from the noble reforms whici: Ezra effected. (2) A ready seribt (v. (3). le was a teacher of the lam of God. 2. His high ambition vv. 7-10) (1) "lle set hils heart to seek the law of the Lord" (v. 10). He deiiltely sel out with the noble purpose to know God's Word. To be successful in any thing one must set out with a purpose DAuilel was a success because lie "pur. posed in his heart." Ministers and Stnday-school teachers should hav( this set purpose. (2) He set his nearl to obey tho Lord (v. 10). H-e wias nol only concerned with knowing God'. Word, but to obey it. God's Word can not fully be known by the intellect it must he expxerienced. The essentia quaiIlification for a teacher of the Bible a preacher or Sunday-school teacher is obedience to God's Word. (3) 1h set his heart to teach Israel God'i statutes an1d judgments (v. 10).

The first tihing he did was to seel God's guidance. Not only God's lead ers, but all Christians should seeli (divinle gulidlance and help in every un1 dertaking-every newv jouirney, ever) piece of new&1 work, every business ad venture, every relationship.
