3.- In the Province -Of J'eclea., now
a province of the Persia. empire. Great
affliction and. reproach - Their subjec-
tion to Persia forced itself on the Jews
at every turn. The tribute imposed on
them was a heavy burden to a. poor
people. Jewish recruits had doubtless
be enforced into 'the Persian armies. The
eountry was pillaged in open day, and
many Jews were carried into slavery
by nightly surprises, while the corpses
of murdered men were. often found on
the roacL-Goikie. Wall-down - The
wall and houses had been destroyed by
Nebuchadnezzar more than 140 years be-
fore (2 Kings :sem 10), and their rub-
bish still lay in sight. They were par-
tially rebuilt at one time (Ezra iv. 12.)
The neighboring races, infuriated at the
rejection of their friendly offers of as-
sistanee by Zerubbabel, years before,
and still more so by Ezra's recent act in
&ending back to their homes all the
wives of non-Jewish races found in Jer-
usa.lem and Judea, had attacked Jeru-
salem, and. after fierce struggles had
broken down the newly built walls and
burned the gates (Neli H. 11-15).-- Stan-

Commentary.- 1. Nehemiah hears of
the distress lu Jerusalem (ye. 1-8J. 1. the
4). lle loved his people. lIe sought
their good and not his own pleasure.
11. Pray reverently. "0 Lord, God of
lietiven" tv. 5). 'Let thine ear now be
affentive and thine eye open (v. 0).
Nellemiah reeognized the eoudeseension
of "Jehovah," the self -existent, immut.
able, everlasting "God Of laeriven," in-
finitely above hint ana sovereiga over
hint in humbling himself to see and bead
the things done on earth.
W. Pray adoringly. 'That keepeth
covenant and mercy' (v. I). Nehemiab
began with reverent praise. The great
God, infinite in perfection, the "terrible"
Goa, dreaded by foes and revered by
friends, is righteous in judgments, faith-
ful to Ilis word, merciful and kind.
Someone suggests that before we ap-
proach the throne in prayer we should
always pause a little to reflect upon
wbo and what God is.
IV. Pray pereeveringly. "I beseech
thee" (vs. 5, 8, 11) "hear the prayer
of thy servant, which. I pray before Thee
now, day and night" (v. 0). Always
pray and never faint (Luke xviii. 1). it
is the persevering prayer that is an-
swered. There must be no ftateeing or
wavering (James i. 0) if the answer
would be sure. To Aare to believe
through diecouragements, obstacles and
persecutions( perhaps for years without
seeing, the answer is to reap a sure re-
ward,.
V. Pray intercedingly, "Hear the
prayer" (v. 0). We are of use to God
as we know how to pray for men. aloses
prayed for the people and the fire was
quenched (Num. 1 2). Job prayed for
his friends and the overflow turned hie
own captivity (Jab xlii. 10). Hezekiali
Keyed and the Lord &wed the people
by sending His angel to destroy 185,000
of tbeir enemies (II. Kings xix. 15, 35),
Ezra prayed ami there was a return to
national purity (Ezra x. 1-19).
1 L Prey humbly. e'We have sinned
against Thee (vs. 0, 7). Nehemiah fol-
lowed the example of Daniel (Dan. ix.
5). He identified his people even in
their sins.
\ Pray on God's conditions. "Re-
member, I beseech Thee, the word iF
ye transgress, I will scatter but if
ye tern will I gather" (vs. 8, 9).
Every answer to prayer is conditional.
There is always an "if" to the prom-
iee (John xiv. 13, 14). "In returning
met rest shall ye be saved" (Lsa. xxx.
15). "Return unto me and I will return
unto you" Hi. 7).
Prey definitely. "Prosper thy
servant and grant him inerey in
the sight of this Mtn" (v. 11). Nelte-
miae not only prays generally that
God's mercy may be given to His people,
but specifically that King Artaxerxes
may be disposed to and let him go and
build up the city of his fathers. God
would be "Inquired. of to do it for"
us (leeek. xxxvi. 37). Jesus asked the
blind man who came to Him, "What
wilt thou thet I should do unto thee?"
(Mark x. 51). We get what we ask
when we ask "according to His will"
(1.. John iii. 22). Trae prayer is always
definite . "In everything, by prayer and
supplication," we are to let our "re-
epteAs be made known" (Phil. iv. 6).

Buries Falls despateln, A shocking
fatality occurred yesterday, resulting in
the instant death of Mr. Wm. A. Olark,

in Mills townehip,-he was mistaken for

without having regained coasciousuess.
Mr. John Pirie, of Drumquin, Halton

fatal shot was fired., end was the first

was the scene when Mr. Penton learned
of his mistake, and that be had

Toronto -Trade has been showing a
rather quieter tone lately in most lines
of winter goods, retailers having pretty
i
well laid n stocks. But the arrival of
iold weather has resulted lit a better
movement of retail dry goods lines, caul
re -orders are coming to the wholesalers.
Woollens continue to hold very firm
with active buying on the advancing
market. The trade'in Christmas goods
promises to be heavy. A good normal
trade is moving in groceries,. As a re-
sult of the Ontario tomato pack it is
announced buyers will receive ninety
per cent. of their orders. Hardware
trade is not so active but there is e. big
rush in holiday goods. Values of com-
modities generally hold steady to firm.
Quebec -Trade is much about"' the
same as the preceding week. Activity is
noticed in seasonable lines. Retail stocks
are moving well. Country remittances
are still slow. Flour and general feed
is advancing in price.
Wingipeg-There is It good tone to
trade generally. 'While colder weath-
er has lessened the movement in some
lines, there has been a much better move-
ment in retail dry goods and wholesalers
find a good sorting trade springing up.
A good volmfie of business is being clone
in groceries and hardware is fairly act-
ive, although not so generally so as a
week or two ago. The Hardware Mw -
dation has put a new price list into ef-
fect in which prices show an upward ten-
dency,
Victoria and Vancouver-WWlesale
trade shows a slightly quieter tone, the
season's business now being fairly well
over. There is a good tone to retnil
trade, however, and industrial activity
continues general. There does not seem
to be so much money in circulation and
