of a^building enterprise.in the reign "ft has long been - my conviction
of Artaxerxes which was stopped by a that the British' Empire should have
letter of protest sent to the king by
hostile. neighbors. The letter said that
the Jews "are building the rebellious
and the bad city, and have finished the
walls and repaired the foundations."
The king's reply contained a decree
to put a stop to the building, and these
enemies of the Jews immediately hast-
ened to Jerusalem and "made them to
cease by force and power." It: is like-
ly that the work of the builders at
this. time was undone and the wall
again broken down. At any -tate,

Artaxerxes reported that "the rem-
nant that are deft of the captivity
there in the province are in great
affliction and re,(roach; 'the -wall of
Jerusalem also Is broken down, and
the gates thereof burned' with fire."
It was report that caused much grief
to the king's cupbearer,a wealthy new
named Nehemiah, and around in him
the patriotic desire to go toJerusalem
and do what he could ,for the city of
his fathers (se ch. 1).

Nehetniah,, much distressed by the
news which he had heard. waited for a
favorable opportunity to Snake his re-
quest to the king. Fortunately, the

simple and graphic style by Nehemiah
himself; whose memoira for a'consid-
erable part of his book (1: 1-7: 5 and
13: 4.31), The opportunity came when
the king observed his sadness and ask-
ed the reason. Itis quite ebaracteris-
tic :ef the capricious weakness .of Ar-
taxerxes that he should now authorize
his favorite, Nehemiah, to do '"whathe
had 'forbiddentithe a to do a short
time before. So, Innenettiah says, it
pleased the king to send pie He was

building. Two men of rank aed intlu-.
erne, anamles of the Jews,- Sanballat
and . Toblah, heard the news and It
'grieved' them eaeeedingiy, that :there
was come a man to seek the welt=

feeble Jews? "A fox could break dein
their wall," said his friend and ally,

The middle clause of veins 7 seems
to mean that the wall in all its sec-

height. Such was the wrath of ;Jud-'
al's enemies that they conspired all of
them: together, to conte and to fight
against Jerusalem. Nehemiah's con-
duct of affairs at this crisis was ad-
mirable. ;I3e says, "We made our
