28072 | [ 35] How far did that diversity go? 28072 ***** When we attempt to mount the stream of history and to pierce the mists which become ever thicker as we near its source, what is it that we see? 28072 350- 3(?). 28072 Again, is not the building on the left of the picture obviously a flat- roofed house? 28072 And is not that enough to suggest a probable reason for the want of windows characteristic of an Oriental dwelling? 28072 And may not these groups, though distinct, have been more closely connected than the Jews were willing to admit? 28072 Are they ideographic signs or funeral offerings? 28072 But how to represent the wooded mountains on this side of the water? 28072 Can any other instance be cited of an art so well endowed entirely suppressing what we should call the civil element of life? 28072 Granting wooden roofs, how is such an accumulation to be accounted for? 28072 How many stages were there? 28072 In the case of vaults how are we to suppose that the rooms were lighted? 28072 Is it too much to suppose that by means of rivers and canals those of Nineveh may have been taken there too? 28072 M. Halévy has translated an Assyrian text, whose meaning he thus epitomizes:What becomes of the individual deposited in a tomb? |

28072 | Nineveh,"the dwelling of the lions,""the bloody city,"saw its last day;"Nineveh is laid waste,"says the prophet Nahum,"who will bemoan her? |
28072 | Supposing such an arrangement to have obtained in Mesopotamia, of what material were the piers or columns composed? |
28072 | Was it impelled by mere inability to distinguish, by varieties of feature, form and attitude, between the different gods created by the imagination? |

28072 | When wooden roofs were used were they upheld by wooden uprights or by columns of any other material? |

12248 | Is Jerusalem thriving? |
12248 | Is Nehemiah moved from his post of duty by Sanballat''s message? |
12248 | Is it an unkind spirit? |
12248 | Is it not one of the works of the devil, which we are bidden to lay aside? |
12248 | Is it not right, is it not wise to pull up at times and to look at our life, at what it has been, and at what it might have been? |
12248 | Is it not the very prayer of the penitent thief,''Lord, remember me?'' |

12248 | Let each of us ask himself or herself, What am I doing in this matter? |
12248 | Let the language of the heart of each in the Lord''s army be that of Nehemiah,''Should such a man as I flee?'' |
12248 | Look at the south- east corner, who will ever be able to clear away the heaps that have accumulated there?'' |
12248 | Nehemiah has stood firm under ridicule; he has been unmoved by force or deceitful friendships; will he be frightened from his duty by gossip? |
12248 | Now indeed we have no open rupture with the governors, but who can tell what the result of our taking action in this matter will be? |
12248 | Now, says Nehemiah, consider:''Ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God?'' |
12248 | Of what nation are these colonists? |
12248 | Or can it be that this is a heaven- sent opportunity in which he may make his request? |
12248 | Ought ye not to be careful in your conduct, kind, and just, and generous in your dealing? |
12248 | Shall it be Christ or Satan, Jerusalem or Gerizim, God or the world? |
12248 | Shall we indeed take part in that grand procession? |
12248 | Shall we pass within the gate into the city? |
12248 | Shall we stand with the King of Glory on Olivet? |
12248 | Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives?'' |
12248 | Should such a man as I flee? |
12248 | Should such a man as I flee? |
12248 | Should we not bless them too? |
12248 | Should we not day by day call down blessings on the brave noble missionaries? |
12248 | Should we not help them all we can? |
12248 | Should we not like to leave the old careless days behind, and for the future to fight manfully against the world, the flesh, and the devil? |
12248 | Should we not pray for them, that strength and courage may be given them? |
12248 | Should we ourselves be left behind? |
12248 | So Nehemiah bravely answers:''Should such a man as I flee? |
12248 | The great reformer, Martin Luther, looked around him, and what did he see? |
12248 | The mighty universe, the great empire of the King of kings, who shall give us even a faint idea of its size? |
12248 | Then I testified unto them: Why lodge ye about the wall? |
12248 | These are your Christians, are they? |
12248 | They could not live on air, no food was provided for them; what could they do but take care of themselves? |
12248 | They have broken their word in the matter of the tithes; have they kept their promise with regard to the Sabbath? |
12248 | Turning to the Rab- shakeh he asks:''Why is thy countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick? |
12248 | WHAT DO THEY SAY? |
12248 | Was Nehemiah remembered? |
12248 | Was it some special sin which he confessed before God then? |
12248 | Was this intelligence received with unmixed joy and thankfulness, or were there some in the city to whom it came as anything but pleasant tidings? |
12248 | Was this right, or fair, or just? |
12248 | We can picture him pacing up and down, saying again and again, What shall I do? |
12248 | Were the Samaritans quiet, or had Sanballat and Tobiah taken the opportunity afforded by his absence, and invaded Jerusalem? |
12248 | Were they continuing to serve and obey the Heavenly King? |
12248 | Were they keeping the solemn covenant which had been sealed in his presence? |
12248 | What about our Bible reading? |
12248 | What about prayer? |
12248 | What about sin, that besetting sin of ours, so often indulged in, so little fought against? |
12248 | What about work for God? |
12248 | What can be the cause of this mournful wail? |
12248 | What can be the matter? |
