JOY AND STRENGTH In this Book Nehemiah gives a spirited account of the opposition of the Samaritans and Trow he foiled them and erected the wall, to the great joy of the. Jews, The next step taken by Governor. Nehemiah, aided by Ezra the priest and scribe, was the re-establishmento freligion b J y the public rea i p d ng of the Bible. Then "all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law," because they had been ,neglecting the sacred ordinances and leading nrnholy lives, There is nothing like the Bi- ble to disclose to a man' his sins, But, "mourning was unsuitable for a day of high festivity, the opening day of the civil year and of the sab betical (the seventh) snonth, itself a sabbath or day of rest, and one to be kept: by blowing; of trumpets. '!'herefore Nehemiah, Ezra and the Levites united to, quiet the people, and .tern it into gladness. Then he said unto thein. Nehe- miah is the 'speaker. Go your way. The people were assembled in the great square before the water gate, on the east of Jerusalem,so called because the path through it led down to the important spring of Gihon, the Virgin's spring. Nehemiah was disinissing'ethe assembly. Eat the fat and drink the 'sweet: Eat and drink of the ehoicest and so cease mourn- ing. And send portions unto him for whom nothing is prepared. All blessings are enlarged by unselfish- ness. For this day is holy unto our Lord. A holiday means a holy -day, and perios of rest and. recreation should 'always; be so regarded by •us. Neither be ye grieved. This does not mean that they were not to- .be sorry for their sins, but they were not to mar by even that godly sor- row the time set apart by the Lord for rejoicings. For the joy of Jeho- vah is your strength. Refusing to be comforted is never Christliice. So the Levites stilled all the peo ple. They passed around among the people the injunctions of their lead- ers, Nehemiah and Ezra. Saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved. Sunday is not, only a day of rest; it is a day of exulting in God, and that is true worship. And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send por- tions, and to make great mirth. They obeyed instructions; and the "Great mirth" came as the result. Because they had understood the words that were declared unto them. The people sorrowed. (verse 9) be- cause they had not'kept the law; they now rejoiced because they were able to understand it. And on the second day were ga- thered together the heads of fath ers' houses of all the peoples. These were the chiefs of the clans, or sub- divisions of the tribes. The priests, and the Levites unto Ezra the scribe. Ezra was the suitable president of the gathering rather than Nehemiah the governor, as it was to deal with religions rather than secular matters. Even to give attention to the words of the law. Ezra's purpose would be to supply the leaders with informa- tion about points too recondite for the multitude, and .also perhaps to gave directions as to the carrying out of the law." And they found written in the law. See Lev. 23: 39-43; compare also Ex. 23:16; Deut. 16: 13, 16; Lev. 23: 34- 36. How that Jehovah had command- ed by Moses. The work of the great lawgiver of the Hebrews did not or- iginate with him but with the Lord, who inspired him and guided him. That the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month. The Feast of the Tabernacles was the middle of the month, from the fifteenth to the twenty-first, closing with the solemn assembly on the twenty-second. The two -fold purposes of this feast are set forth in the first section of this lesson. And that they should publish aad proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem. This announcement, no doubt, would be made by means of swift runners, bearing letters to the head men of the cities and also mek- ing proclamation by word of mouth in 'the public squares. Saying, go forth unto the mount. Not merely the Mount of Olives, but the moun- tain region or "hill country" of Ju- dah, the Jews being required to meet in Jerusalem, assembling from all parts of the land. And fetch olive branches, and branches of wild ol- ive. Both the cultivated and wild olive were. to be used, possessing thick foliage suitable for booths .And myrtle branches. A. tree With dark shining leaves and white flowers of- teir found around Jerusalem growing in thickets in company with the bay. And palm branches. Palms are still found in Palestine, but not so com- mon as in ancient days. And branch- es of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written, The thick foliage was needed to protect the interior of the booths from the hot sten. So the people went forth, and brought them, and made themselves booths,The he Combination of t rest t and recreation with religion is always wholesome and attractive, as is prov- ed by camp meetings, summer. as- semblies and other popular gather- ings. Every one upon the roof of his house. Palestine house roofs are flat, and are much used for family gatherings, especially in the evening. And in •their courts. Houses in Pal- esltine were usually built around courts, each court containing a well which is the household water sup. ply. And in the courts of the House of God, These courts surrounded the sanctuary, or temple proper, and were very spacious, And in the broad place of the 'water gate. Where the assembly for the reading of the law had, been held the, day before,. And in the broad place' of the gate of Ephriam. This large square was south of' e gate in the northern wall of the City, :called the gate of Eph- rian•i because it led to the territory of that tribe, or Samaria. And all the assembly of them that were come again out of the 'captive ity made booths, and dwelt in the booths. They were those whom Ne- hemiah .had brought back wit hhiin from exile in Persia, and those prev- iously brought back in the return: from Zerubbabel, who, built the sec- ond temple. For since the days of Jeshua (Joshua) the son of Nun. The great successor of Moses, who con- quered Canaan, Unto that day had not the children of Israel done so. The feast had been celebrated occas- ionally and partially (see Ezra 3;4, etc,), but' nit in the way God had commanded, as a festival of the Un- ited nation. And there was very great gladness. . This continued alt through the seven days of the feast proper, and came to a climax in the "solemn assembly" of the eighth day (verse 18). JESUS' AND -'REST. And the apostles gathered them- selves together unto Jesus, The Sav- iour was in Galilee, and probably in Capernaum, his headquarters. And they told him all things, whatsoever they had done, and whatsoever they had taught We are to make our report to Jesus. And he saith unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place. "Desert" here means only uninhabi- tated and solitary, not barren. And resta while. The apostles had been making long journeys on foot, over rough, narrow •paths. For there were many coming and going, and they had on leisure so much as to eat. The incessant demands made upon missionaries, and especially, medical missionaries, today illustrate the bur- dens that Christ and his disciples struggled under. And they went away in the boat to a desert place apart. There are three elements of rest provided for those who are able to gain leisure -- communion withoutward nature, true human fellowship, andclose and sim- pler access to Christ Himself.
