Bible Institute of Chicago.)

LESSON FOR JUNE 10
NEH EM I AH, THE BOLD BUILDER
LESSON TEXT—Nehemlah 4:6-15.
GOLDEN TEXT-Be ye not afraid of
them, remember the Lord.—Nehemlah
4:14.
PRIMARY TOPIC—The Man Who Was
Not Afraid.
JUNIOR TOPIC—How Nehemiah Built
the Wall.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC
—How Nehemlah Got Things Done.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
—nehemlah, an Example for Men of Af
fairs.
Nehemiah was a cupbearer to the
Persian king. While performing his
duty as cupbearer, he learned of the
distress of his brethren In Jerusalem.
Having secured a leave of absence
from the Persian court and credentials
from the king, he Journeyed to Jerusa
lem. After resting three days without
disclosing his purpose to anyone, lie
made a survey of the walls by night.
Having thus obtained first-hand infor
mation, he called the representatives
of the Jews together and said, “Let tis
build the walls of Jerusalem.”
I. Preparation for the Building
(Chap. 3).
The division of labor in this project
shows Nehemiah’s administrative abil
ity. A wise distribution of labor makes
difficult tasks easy. Note some out
standing features of this great work:
1. Stress Laid Upon Indifference
(3:5). In administrative tasks it is
Just that unfaithfulness should be
pointed out. Such action will be a
warning to some and encouragement to
others, in that It shows the integrity
of the director.
2. Help Rendered by Women (3:12).
Perhaps Shallum had no sons to aid
him. It was a fine thing for the wom
en to help, even in building a wall,
when there were no men to do It.
3. Stress Laid Upon Earnestness
(3:20). If one knows that his faithful
ness will be recognized, he will earnest
ly pursue his tasks.
4. Every One Built Over Against Ills
Own House (3:10, 23, 28). No incen
tive to exertion is quite so strong as
that which concerns one’s own family.
5. Certain Guilds of Men Undertook
Certain Work (3:8, 31, 32). Wise ad
ministration sometimes calls for such
alignment of efforts. Men of the same
class and craft will surely work better
together.
11. Hindrances Encountered (4:1-
0:14).
1. Scoffing of Sanballat and Tobiah
(4:1-0; cf. 2:19, 20). The opposers of
God’s servants usually begin by hurl
ing at them shafts of ridicule. They
called the Jews a feeble folk and as
serted that the tread of a prowling fox
would break down their stone wall.
2. Conspiracy for a Sudden Attack
(4:7-9). When the enemy saw that
the work was actually succeeding they
changed from ridicule to an attempt
to throw the workmen int« a panic.
When the enemy cannot mieeeed by
scoffing they resort to intimidation.
3. Conspiracy With the Jews (4:10-
23). They sought by means of the
Jews from the outside to discourage
their brethren by showing that the
task was hopeless and that at any time
they were subject to a sudden and se
cret attack.
4. Greed and Oppression of the
Rulers (5:1-13). The Jews of that
day, like the profiteers of our time,
took advantage of the poor and oi*
pressed them so that they mortgaged
their land and sold their daughter*
Into slavery. Nehemiah boldly rebuked
them for their crimes and ordered a
restoration to be made, exacting an
oath of them that they would fulfill
their promises.
5. Plot to Take Nehemiah’s Life
(0:1-14). When Sunballat and Tobiah
failed In every way they sought by
craft to get Nehemiah away that they
might kill him.
111. The Wall Completed (0:15-7:4).
So energetically did they pursue
their tasks that in fifty-two days the
wall was completed. When the ene
mies heard that in spite of all their
schemes the work was actually fin
ished thex ttere dejected, for they per
ceived that fhe work was of God.
We may learn from this:
1. That God s children are assailed
by enemies, but In view of Romans
8:31 they should not fear.
2. That when attacked by enemies
we should pray (4:9). Their faith
was accompanied by wise precaution-
Ing: (1) Set a watch (4:9). (2) Men
were permitted to be with their fami
lies (4:13) and thus would fight bet
ter. (3) Half worked and half
watched, all armed for battle (4:10).
(4) They worked with sword in one
hand (4:17). (5) They slept in their
clothes In reqdiness (4:23). Prayer
and faith are not slothful or Inactive.
IMPROVED
ROADS
Smooth Surface Needed
for Concrete Highways
If we are going to construct a con
crete surface for our primary roads,
It is very important that the surface
of the concrete should be made
smooth. Not only does this smooth
ness add to the comfort of the traffic,
but It Is also a factor In th*» lasting
quality of the road surface. The or
dinary layman very seldom thinks of
the Impact as the load passes over the
rough road. If the pavement is rough
the Impact may be serious. Recent
experiments by the United States bu
reau of roads have given us data
concerning this impact, which are very
interesting.
For instance, if truck wheels drop
one inch when traveling at a speed
of 10 miles an hour, and if the wheel
load is 8,000 pounds, they will deliver
a blow to the pavement of 50,000
pounds, or seven times as much as the
load of the wheel. Under the same
load, the pneumatic tired wheels de
liver an Impact equivalent to 14,000
pounds.
Often this Impact Is not caused by
rough pavement but by a defective
wheel, or a small obstruction dropped
on the road surface, or if large skid
chains are used. The wheel strikes
the obstruction, rises over it, and falls,
delivering an impact. Or, if the solid
rubber tire Is defective, each revolu
tion of the wheel delivers an impact
to the pavement.
It may be that with our heavy
truck traffic, the cement surfacing
will be stressed to an extreme extent
by this impact on account of the
rough surface or defective wheel.
The surface cracks and breaks, and
repairs are necessary.
The surface of the concrete for our
roads can be made smooth if care is
taken in surfacing the same, and the
inspectors should see to it that this
surfacing is rightly done. —E. B.
House, Colorado Agricultural Col
lege.
Jacks Protect Highways
From Overloaded Trucks
Weighing Jacks with which the load
carried by a heavy truck may be as
certained by road police are helping
Maryland protect its new state roads
from damage by overweight vehicles.
Most roads are constructed to with
stand a moving load of ten tons.
Heavier loads break down the sub
grade and start ruts, the police assert.
Each weighing machine consists of
a screwjack operating in an oil-filled
cylinder. When four of these jacks
are placed under the suspected truck,
lifting It clear of the ground, Its
weight is transferred to the oil cylin
ders and can be read directly on the
pressure gauges. If the truck is found
to weigh more than ten tons, the ex
cess material is unloaded by the road
side. The jacks are of aluminum al
loy, weighing only 40 pounds each, so
that the inspectors can carry them
about In a light car.
State officials estimate that this
supervision reduced overloading 75
per cent within 30 days. California
has also recently passed a law
limiting the weight of motor
trucks, and road officials and tax
payers are seeking to reduce the
maximum permissible weight below
the limit now set —30,000 pounds gross
weight for four-wheeled trucks, and
40,000 pounds for six-wheeled vehicles,
providing the axles are at least 90
inches apart, and there are not more
than 800 pounds on each inch of rub
ber tire width. Popular Science

Iron Ore Quite Useful
in Road Construction
Iron ore, found in northwestern
Louisiana, has proven of great value
in road building in that state and, In
some localities where it has been used,
has effected a saving of $2,000 to $3,000
a mile In the cost of construction.
Highway engineers in Louisiana have
been using the ore as a binden instead
of sand clay and have found it far
superior to that material in many in
stances. During 1922 the Louisiana
state highway department completed
350 miles of new roads. Most of this
mileage consists of gravel. The re
mainder consists of roads built of
shells, sheet asphalt or bitulithic. The
1923 program includes a larger amount
of asphaltic construction.
Growing Popularity of
Autos Shows Road Needs
With the growing popularity of the
automobile, there has come a parallel
increase in the need of building up the
highways. Of course, it is not to be
done within a few years. Many sec
tions of the Old World have excellent
highways, but they have been built for
centuries. But certainly we should
begin now to lay the foundation of a
great highway system.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.
Judging from reports from druggists
irho are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-
Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.—Advertisement.
