I. The Leader—Ezra (7:1-10).
I. Who he was (vv. 1-6).
(1) A priest (vv. 1-5). He was from
the line which was to stand between
God and the people, a descendant of
Seralah, the chief priest who had a
lineage back to Aaron. The leader of
the first company was Zenihhal»el. a
sort of ill It ary governor. The great
need now was for a religious leader,
for the people had gone far from God.
(2) A ready scribe (v. 6).
He was a teacher of the law ot
God. A scribe's training began at thir
teen years, but he did not enter upon
his official duties till thirty years of
sge. firing him seventeen yesrs of
training.
x. vis nign xmpmmi 1
(1) He set his heart to seek the
law of the Lord (v. 10). He deflnltely
set out with the purpose to know God’s
word. No one who purposes In hi*
heart to seek the law of the Lord can
fall.
(2) He set his heart to obey the
Lord (v. 10).*
He was not only concerned with
knowing Gods word, hut obeying It.
God's word cannot he known In Its
fullness by the Intellect; It must be
experienced.
(3) He set his heart to teech In
Israel God’s statutes and judgments
(v. TO). Be not only had ■ love for
God’a word, hat a desire to Implant It
In the hearts of others.
II. Ezra’s Commission (7:11*26).
Artaxcrxes, the king, gave him a
copy of the decree, authorizing him to
lead a company hack to Jerusalem.
This decree empowered him;
1. To collect funds (vv. 15.16).
2. To levy tribute (vv. 21,22).
3. To appoint magistrates and judge*
(v. 23).
4. To execute penalties (v. 26). •
For this great favor Ezra lifted his
heart t^> God In thanksgiving (vv. 27,
28).
III. The Company Which Retumsd
(8:1-20).
The company was comparatively
small—only seventeen > hundred and
fifty-four males, but Including wom
en, children and servants there were
perhaps t> x or seven thousand people.
IV. Ezra's Prayer and Fatting
(8:21-23).
Tl^e first thing that Ezra did was
to seek God’s guidance. AH Christiana,
er weH at leaders of the people,
should seek divine guidance and help
In every new undertaking. No success
can he realized without His help and
blessing. The reason Ezra sought the
Lord’s help was that as far as possi
ble he desired his mission to be free
from human dependence. He did not
minimize the^dangers attending his
Journey, but since he had assured the
king that the hand of the Lord would
be upon all for good who sought Him,
he was now ashamed to ask the king
for a military escort to protect them
from the marauding Arabs. His do
sire was to prove to the king the
reality of God’s helps, for God’s honor
among the heathen was at stake. This
was a real test of faith, but God was
faithful.
V. Ths Successful Journey (8:24-
32). .
God heard their prayer. The treas
ure entrusted to them was great Per
haps the entire value of money and
sacred utensils was about five million
dollar*. For t small caravan carry
ing such ao amount of money to go
through a country infested by robber
bands was most perilous, hut Ezra
knew that God was able and would
protect them. Observe:
L Care and honesty irw. 24-30).
The money was weighed unto them
at the start and was to ha weighed
over to the authorities

Costs Exactly $777 to
Become Belgian Baron
Brussels.—It costs exactly $777, or
27,000 Belgian francs, to become a
baron of the kingdom of Belgium. And
there Is no record as yet of any per
son having refused the title because It
cost too much.
King Albert confers from three to
five titles of nobility every year, most
ly to elderly gentlemen of great merit.
In most cases the title of baron is con
ferred and only Id exceptional cases
Is it a hereditary title. So the number
of noblemen Is not much Increased
by the king’s annual distribution of
title*, as the holders and their wive*
usually are trto aged to enjoy It for
a long time, and their children do
not benefit from It at all.
The expenses of becoming a boron
are rather high, because the state lev
ies a tax on registering any new title
of nobility The official recording of
a title cost* $150. The title of baron
Is taxed $110 beside*, while a new vis
count ha* to pay $150 In addition, a
prince or duke $.*100. To this is added
the expenses for a certificate. The
certificate I* a marvelous document,
hand written by experts and hand
painted In the manner of medieval
documents. Without such a certificate
the title I* not worth a cent. With
the certificate It I* worth af least the
$777 paid fo» It. and. In the eyes of
the world, probably much more.
Five or six case* are known where
men refused the honor of becoming a
baron or count. They did so because
they thought their name was good
enobgh wltlmut the title. Among
these was Mayor Adolphe Max of
Brosseli.
