Lesson for August 25
REBUILDING THE TEMPLE
LESSON TEXT—Ezra 8 10-13, 6 14.
14: Lesson 14 1-4
16: Forums I was glad when they said unto me, let us go unto the house of the Lord.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Rebuilding Gods
House
After becoming settled in the towns surrounding Jerusalem, the people were called together for the purpose of establishing the worship of the Lord God. The leaders in this movement were Joshua and the priests and Zerubbabel, the governor. In view of the fact that the clearing away of the debris of the old city and temple and the erection of the new temple would take a long time, an altar was erected where sacrifice might be offered at once unto God. Upon this newly erected altar were offered the regular sacrifices commanded by Moses including those of the Feast of Tabernacles (Hera 3:17).
1. The Foundation of the Temple
Laid (3:8-13).
This was an auspicious occasion
and was celebrated with most impres
sive ceremonies.
1. The priests' apparel (v. 10). These
garments symbolized their consecra
tion to the Lord's service.
2. The priests with trumpets (v.
10). The trumpets were used in ca
lling together the people.
3. The Levites with cymbals (v.
10). This was according to the ar
rangement made by David (1 Chron
15:10-21).
4. They sang together by course (v. 11). This means that they sang to one another responsively. The one company sang, "The Lord is good," the other responded, "For this mercy on dureth forever."
5. Mingled weeping and sighing (vv. 12, 13). Some of the older men who had seen the magnificent temple of Solomon, which had been destroyed wept much when they saw how far short the present foundation came of the former temple. Others were glad of the favor of God which had brought them back, and that a beginning was made in the new house of worship.
II. The Building of the Temple Hindered (ch. 4).
The lending adversaries were the Samaritans, a mongrel people—the offspring of the poor Jews who were left in Palestine and the foreign people who were sent into Palestine after the Jews were taken captive. The three perils which delayed the building of the temple for about fourteen years revealed the persistent methods which the enemy uses to hinder the program of God's people in every age. 1. An unintelligent possitism (3: 12)
Under the circumstances, a glorious beginning had been made. Many today, because things are not quite what they should be, do not go forward with a constructive program, but even hinder those who have the hopeful outlook. In spite of all the evil forces at work to thwart the purpose of God, the Christian church should push forward its program of evangelization.
2. Wordly compromise (1:2. 3)
"Let us build with you, for we seek your God." This is Satan's most common and effective method. God's children should not seek the world's putronage in building churches and carrying on its work. The leaders should declare with Zerubbabel, "We have nothing to do with us to build an house unto our God."
3. Opposition by word (4:424).
When refused a part in the work intimidation and political scheming were used by the enemies to defeat the building plan of God's people.
III. The Temple Finished (v. 4).
Through the ministry of the prophets Haggal and Zechariah, people were encouraged to resume enthusiastically the work of building the temple. When the temple was finished, it was dedicated to God.
IV. The Blessedness of Dwelling in God's House (Its 84:1-4).
1. The longing of the soul for God's house (vv. 1, 2).
It is refreshing when people long to meet God in His house.
2. The sparrow and swallow find protection in the sacred precepts of God's house (v. 3).
3. Dwelling in God's house (v. 4).
Those who have a heart for God find their chief delight in dwelling in His house.
Keep Going
Our new science of flying teaches us that a plane will not go down as long as it can go on. The birds have long known this and they fly. Keep going, believing, hoping, loving, and you cannot go under!
What Will the Master Say?
Will it matter at last whether you have been rich or just lived from hand to mouth? What will the Master say? Ah! that is the question.—Dr. J. B. Shaw.
ELWOOD NOTES
Rev. D. G. Favors is taking a vacation, he is visiting in Leavenworth, and Kansas City, and will attend the N. E. District Association before he returns. Rev. Bates preached for Rev. Favors, Friday nite; a good sermon was heard. We were glad to see Rev. Bates as he is an aged man, we fear, he will not visit us again soon. Rev. E. A. Henderson preached a gospel sermon., Sunday at 8:00 p. m. for Rev. Favors, he is a soul stirring preacher; all who heard him were made glad for the spirit ran high.
Rev. D. C. Miller, pastor of the A. M. E. Church, is getting his people down to work as his time is short now and they have a few things to finish up.

The Pastor introduced Mrs. Whitfield of Washington, who gave a splendid talk on the great need of Christian activity in this Christianized country and of the school in Washington for poor girls and the girls, school at Washington.

then this would be a changed world.
T wil name a few thinga that I be-

namely; Prejudice, discrimination,

begrudgefulness, malice and deceit.
‘These with many others, which tire

there wou'd be no cause for the gal-

would be done away with; without
love and without Christ, it cannot be
done. We who know these sayings
ere true, also Lrow that when we
fail to do what is commanded in
these matters, will fall short of the

Christ is the author of Mis.io1s,
and Ife Is too wise to autheriae a
failing enterprise, Mission {rp is
God, man and revelation—A God to
send a man to carry and a revela-
tion to proclaim,
The essence of missions is the
spirit of Christ, it permeates both
the message and the messenger. The
program of Mission is the outgrowth
of a passion to proclaim the good
news to a Icst world.
Missions are proving ruzes+sful
wherever the message of the hing
dom Is teing proclaired. The pom-
ise {3 being fulfilled in that the worl!
has not returned voll. In cvery
land, missions are moving the only
remedy for the world’s ills,
Faith in the resurrection and cour-
sge to confess the Cirl t that 10 ¢
is eternal hfe, Men believe in their
heart and avclare what they believe
with their mouth, Faith removes
shame.
The conditions of salvation Is the
same for all; neither race nor povcr-
ty matter, its the call of faith that
heaven ensyerr.
‘Mon must hear to believe, must
‘Lelieve to call must have a preacher
to hear and the preacher must be
