ade remnants that are left of the captiv -
ek. ttv there in the province are in great
est affliction and reproach : the wall of
ary Jerusalem also 18 broken down and
the gates thereof are burned with
fire." And it came to pass that when
I heard these things, I sat down and
wept." Nehemiah's family had been
brought up in captivity and when the
Children of Israel returned from cap-
tivity to Jerusalem, they remained be-
hind, Nehemiah quickly rose to a
position of great wealth and power.
The Persian emperor 1 eeognized the
worth of a man whom neither' wealth
nor position could make to change his
character.. To this wan came a dep-
in- citation from Jerusalem who told hint
at, how Jerusalem was broken down and
not only this but the church was fall-
nd ing into disuse and decay. Nehemiah
eir might have refused to have anything
to do with it, but because of his love
iv --for the church, he e'quiled into the
: matter and when he learned that all
, that had been told him was true, he
sat down and wept. l;:ealizil,g what
