Hall’s Catarrh Medicine
Those who are In a “run down” con
dition will notice that Catarrh bothers
them much more than when they are
in good health. This fact proves that
while Catarrh is a local disease, it is
greatly influenced by constitutional
conditions. HALL’S CATARRH
MEDICINE is a Tonic and Blood Puri
fier, and acts through the blood upon
the mucous surfaces of the body, thus
reducing the inflammation and restor
ing normal conditions.

' Lesson'
(By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D.D.. Teacher
of English Bible in the Moody Bible Insti
tute of Chicago.)
(®, 1»2«, Weatern N'ewapaper Union.)
Lesson for June 22
REVIVAL UNDER EZRA AND NE
HEMIAH
LESSON TEXT—Neh. 8:1-18; 13:1-8;
15-31.
GOLDEN TEXT—‘‘Return unto me,
and I will return unto you. ealth the
Lord of hosts."—Mai. 3:7.
PRIMARY TOPIC —Learning From
God's Word.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC—The Value of Bible Study.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP
IC—The Bible in the Life of a Nation.
The lesson committee has desig
nated this as reforms, but It was more
than reform. It was a revival. It re
quires the quickening of God’s spirit
to induce men, especially a whole na
tion, to turn to God from their sins.
This is a fine illustration .of the right
ful place of God’s word in the life of
a nation.
I. The Word es God Being Read
(Neh. 8:1-8).
1. The Eager Assembly (v. 1). The
people gathered themselves together
and spake unto Ezra to bring the
book of the law. The people with
yearning hearts requested the reading
of God’s Word.
2. A Representative Assembly (v.
2). It was made up of men, women
and children. The men did not leave
the spiritual affaiVs to the women,
neither were the children left at home.
3. An Appreciative Assembly (t. 3).
So eager were they to know God's
Word that they did not get tired, al
though the lessons lasted for five or
six hours. Their ears were attentive
from morning until midday.
11. The People’s Attitude Toward
God’s Word (Neh. 8:4-0).
1. Reverence Shown God’s Word
(vv. 4, 5). When Ezra opened the
Law, all the people stood up out of
respect for God’s Word.
2. They Joined Heartily in the
Prayer. As Ezra in prayer
they joined heartily in saying, “Amen,
Amen.” bowing their faces to the
ground.
111. God’s Word Being Interpreted
(Neh. 8:7, 8.)
The attitude of the people toward
God’s Word largely depends upon the
minister.
1. He Stood Up the People
Could See Him. (v. 5).
2. He Rend Distinctly (v. 8). Much
Bible reading is greatly to the dis
credit of the Word and the reader.
3. Caused the People to Understand
the Reading (v. 8). The supreme busi
ness of the minister nnd teacher is to
make the Word of God so plain that
all —old nnd young—can understand.
IV. The Effect of Applying God’g
Word to National Life (Neh. 8:9-18).
1. Conviction of Sin (v. 9). The
Word of God is quick and powerful
Heb. 4:12). It brings conviction of
sin (Acts 2:37). God's method of con
victing men of sin is to have His
Word applied by the Holy Ghost.
2. Weeping Turned Into Joy (vv.
10-12). When sins have been per
ceived and confessed God would not
have His children to be sad. Con
tinued mourning will not atone for the
sins that are past. It unfits one for
present tasks and dishonors a pardon
ing God.
3. They Shared Their Blessings
With Others (vv. 10-12). True joy
manifests itself in giving to others.
4. The People Obeyed (vv. 13-18).
In their acquaintance with the Scrip
tures they found that the Feast of the
Tabernacles had been long neglected.
They went to work and kept this sa
cred feast In away that It hud not
been kept since the days of Joshua
(v. 17).
5. Separation From the Ungodly
(Neh. 13:1-3). As soon as they had
heard the Word of God, they sepa
rated themselves from the mixed mul
titude.
0. The House of Worship Was
Cleared and Order Restored (Neh.
13:4-14). No nation can be strong
which neglects Its worship of the true
God.
7. Restoration of the Sabbath (Neh.
13:15-2). Israel had long violated the
Sabbath. Unnumbered evils follow In
the wake of Sabbuth desecration. To
ignore the essential law of the Sab
bath Is national suicide.
8. Restoration of God’s Law of Mar
riage (Neh. 13:2.3-31). When those
who had intermarried with the
heathen were brought face to face
with their sin, they separated them
selves from their ungodly companions,
because they could not have God’s
favor while living In disobedience to
His Word.
Pearls and the Soul
“I like the laughter that opens the
lips und the heart, that shows at the
same time pearls and the soul.”—Vic
tor Hugo.
Breeds Men
It Is adversity, not prosperity, that
breeds men, as it is the storm, and
not the culm, which makes the mar
iner.—Severy.
Minority and Majority
Don’t be afraid of being with the
minority. Every majority was once
a minority.
The School of Life
Experience keeps a dear school,
but fools learn in no other.—Franklin.
