Three days were spent in resting, after which the treasure was taken to the temple A service of thanksgiving was of fered. This journey was a notable one la the history of the exiles, as added evidence of God's protection over the affairs of their nation. Outstanding characteristics of Ezra were his faithfulness to the laws of God. In initiating the expedition he engaged much in prayer, and instructed his followers concerning their dependency upon divine favor. Ezra's worship inspired him to high and courageous endeavor.

His trust was in God for strength and guidance. Joined to his unswerving and unselfish loyalty, were his practical wisdom and industry. Ezra was a practical-idealist. His views of life were idealistic, but his idealism was accompanied by methods which were pragmatic. Young People 's Society Topics for Tomorrow Christian Endeavor.

Being Loyal to Our Work, Matt. 16: 21-25; Neh. 6: 1-3 (Consecration Meeting) Christian Endeavor The twenty-fourth verse of the first reference reads: "Then -said Jesus unto his disciples, if any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me." In this instance Jesus has been telling his disciples that "He must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things." The reference Here is to the crucifixion. This event is in keeping with the Lord's teaching from the beginning of his ministry, in that He would permit nothing to turn Him from the path of All His powers were centered in fulfilling the mission upon which He had come. There was to be no turning away because of the greatness of saerifiee.

So Christ endured the Cross, and the Cross has become the center of the world, and the measure of life. According to the Scriptural teach ing every life is plan of God, Above all else, Christians are to "fulfilling their calling." Loyalty to the teachings and spirit of Christ is made possible to those "who deny themselves'' to take up the first duties of life as exemplified in the life of Christ. These spiritual loyalties extend into the so-called practical phases of life. In truth, there is no such division as the "secular" and "sacred" so far as the individual is concerned. Religious faith is mean ingless unless it has a meaning in everyday contacts.

Loyalty to Christ implies a like attitude at every point in the whole of lite. 2 1ST IN SERIES IN OTTERBEIN U.B, "Saved by a Thread," will be the subject of the twenty-first sermon in the series of messages on -Great Pible Characters, being delivered at the Otterbein United Brethren Church, Third and Peffer streets. the morning service the pastor, the Kev.

Buck, pastor of Stevens Memorial Methodist Church, returns today from his vacation ana will fill his pulpit tomorrow, preach at 11 a. on "The Gfeat Confession" and at 7.3Q on "The Seeking Christ." is Jerusalem was the outstanding acnievement or me nrsi return. The following chronology, with Davis' Bible Dictionary as authority, gives a concise grouping of this period: Cyrus allowed Zerubbabel and over 40,000 of his countrymen to return from exile to Jerusalem in 538 B. C. The rebuilding of the temple was completed in 515 B.

C. Betwoen 480 B. C. and 465 B. C.

the events recorded in the Book of Esther occurred. In 458 B. C. Ezra, the central figure in this lesson, returned to Jerusalem with a company of about 1700 men, besides women and children. Ezra's return was by grace of King Artaxerxes- Longimanus, and was in B.

C. 458 from about March 20 to about July 30. It began on the first day of Nisan or on New Year's day, according to the Jewish calender. The journey of about 900 miles required about 108 days. Ezra Deplores Unfaithfulness Ezra was held in hierh favor by I the King.

Ha enjoyed privileges and Edvantages ax the royal court in recognition of his loyalty and ability. But though well placed and ijvored, Ezra's heart was heavy De-cause of reports which reached him fiom Jerusalem. Many of the exiles who had returned with the. first expedition had intermarried with those who did not reverence the pure worship of Jehovah. The Sabbath diy was not observed; the temple services were not faithfully attended.

Artaxerxes' permission to return in response to Ezra's request was most liberal. All captives who wished to accompany Ezra were permitted to do so. The monarch also set aside for the expedition large sums of money and stores of supplies for the temple. The temple authorities were freed from taxation and Ezra was vested with authority to appoint judges, or magistrates, who in turn were authorized to impose punishment for disobedience to the law, as set forth by Ezra. The returning company met at Abava, on a river bearing the same name.

Ezra here discovered that no Levites were among the number. Messengers were dispatched, probably to a school, where they received the support of thirty-nine Levites and 220 Nethinim. or temple servants, who now joined Ezra. Ezra Cares for Treasure Ezra was a careful and systematic adr.iinistrator. He selected twelve priests and twelve Levites to look after the safe transporting of the treasure.

It was weighed and listed. El 1 DATE FOR C. E.
