Nehemiah 13:15
It would seem that Nehe-
miah's work was well cut out
for him, lie was the 'superin-
tendent on the job' in the res-
toration of ancient Jerusalem,
Not the least of all his prob-
lems was to correct the obser-
vance of the Sabbath for ob-
viously from the verse indicat-
ed above,' the Sabbath and its
observance had collapsed.
The day of 'mild' religion is
once again an impediment and
not the boon to our society.
There is need once more for
the forthright voice of another
Nehemiah to speak with auth-
ority that men and women
might take heed again.
There is no embarrassment
today on the part of many of
our people regarding their re-
ligious practices. Man is no
longer ashamed of his failure
to support the work and worship
of his church. The 'do-it-your-
self' brand of religion, we are
told, is better than that prac-
tised within the confines of the
Church. In most instances
there is a rather proud arro-
gance that without the Church
and without the confines of
such a tradition there is great-
er achievement towards a spir-
itual maturity.
To be free from the forms
and ceremonies long familiar
to the Church pattern is suppos-
edly,a release and an escape
from conformity. Long suspect-
ed as a crutch; church -going,
sabbath -observance, are now
ridiculed and despised. Man on
his own is supposedly able to
make of himself a spiritual
giant. We are, however, made
conscious of this unalterable
fact, spiritual giants are found
in the Church and not out .of it,
Though there are many who on
having absented themselves
from the old terms of conform-
ity to church attendance and
sabbath observance are able to
give evidence of good lives and
virtuous behaviour, it is but a
by-product of earlier training
and rearing within the traditions
which are now being maligned.
The logic of secularism pre-
vails today, Yet inevitably hu-
man life left to itself and dir-
ected solely by the motive of
world force tends to revert to
the savage, We are as human
beings biased in favour of doing
evil. Nehemiah recognized
this as he sought to restore an-
cient Jerusalem to the princi-
ples and practices that made
Israel great under God. We need
the same soul -stirring voice of
authority as expressed through
Nehemiah for this our tragic
day.
Saxons were the leading
miners in Europe during t h e
16th century.
