What about the other three?

[thespiritualencourager]

It is well to form the habit of saying kindly things. Sincere words of commendation help all true men and women to live more worthily and to achieve better things. They should be spoken, too, while people live. Kind words come too late when they are held back till death has closed the ears and chilled the heart, when words cannot avail to comfort or help.

Too many people speak the wrong words, too - words that hurt, that fall on sensitive feelings like frost on the flowers. They thoughtlessly allude to matters which are of painful interest. They stir up sad or bitter memories in those who are trying to forget them. They lack the tact which always turns conversation into pleasant channels.

We should all learn the art of pleasant speech. It is not a matter of elocution or grammar - it is a matter of heart culture. Love must be the inspirer, and there must be the grace of thoughtfulness in word and tone. "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver."— Proverbs 25:11 (ESV)

Devotional Hours Within the Bible by J.R. Miller

Haman’s Plot Against the Jews (Esther 3 and 4)

The Book of Esther opens a window into Oriental life. It shows us also something of the sadness and debasement of woman’s condition in those days. At first thought, Esther seems to have had an enviable experience in being chosen because of her beauty, to be the queen of Xerxes. But when we understand better what her position really was, we see that she was not to be envied but pitied rather. Esther’s story in the light of Christianity, is a sad one. Nor can we hold her up as an ideal woman. Yet there is value in the study of her story, as it shows by contrast what Christianity has done for woman.

The book in its introduction tells the story of the deposing of Vashti, the former queen. Our sympathies are with the wronged queen. We can have only condemnation and contempt for the heathen king. We learn also how it was undertaken to find another beautiful woman to take Vashti’s place. In all the provinces of the kingdom the fairest virgin was sought for the king. Esther appeared to win a great prize but no lowly Christian girl today, would want to exchange places with her.

Mordecai is the real hero of the Book of Esther and the deliverer of the Jews. Not much is told of him. He was of the tribe of Benjamin. He was a captive and lived in Shushan, or Susa, the Persian capital. Esther had been brought up by Mordecai as his own child. Yet Esther was forbidden to reveal in the palace either her relation to Mordecai or her nationality. Mordecai was in close communication with the palace. He discovered a plot against the king and defeated it, his name being recorded in the chronicles.

We do not know what Haman had done to win the king’s favor. He was rich, and possibly had been liberal with his gifts to the king. For some reason, at least, the king wished Haman honored, and wherever he went every one bowed down to him everybody but one man. Mordecai did no reverence to the proud official. Mordecai was a Jew and Haman was an Amakelite; hence probably the bitter enmity between these two men. All the attendants and courtiers did honor to the grand official as he passed backward and forward all except this Jew, who refused to bend the knee to him. Haman, writhing under the insult continually repeated, determined upon revenge and conspired to kill not Mordecai only but all the Jews in the realm. He obtained the king’s signature to the decree, and it was promulgated and the time fixed for the extermination of the hated race. Mordecai sent to Esther a copy of the edict, informing her of the plot, and charged her to go in unto the king and plead for her people.

Esther reminded Mordecai at once of the difficulties in the way. She referred to the custom observed in such matters. “All the king’s servants … do know, that whoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law for him, that he be put to death.” The only people admitted to the king were those for whom he himself sent, and Esther had not been invited. “I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.” The fact that she had not been invited to come for so long a time, was disheartening. “There must be some reason for it,” she thought. Esther would better not have stopped at all to think about these difficulties in the way. Considering the perils in our way is apt to make us grow faint-hearted. Ofttimes, as it proved in Esther’s case, the perils will vanish if we go forward .

Mordecai was not disposed to release Esther from her obligation. So he sent a messenger reminding her that her own life was in bond in this matter. “Think not with yourself that you shall escape in the king’s house, more than all the Jews.” She might meet death if she ventured into the king’s presence; certainly she would meet death if she sat still where she was and did nothing. She was one of those upon whom the sentence had been pronounced in the king’s decree, and even the palace and the royal robes she wore, would not protect her. Many people hesitate to come to Christ. They fear He will not receive them. They think it will be hard to live a Christian life. They count the crosses, the self-denials, the duties, and the long way of struggle and battle. But suppose they do not come to Christ at all what then? Is there no danger in staying away ? If you sit still where you are, will you be saved?

Sometimes silence is very costly. Often, no doubt, silence is better than speech. The old proverb says that while speech is silver, silence is golden. Many times we will sin if we speak. But here is one time when it was a sin not to speak. So in every life there are times when to be silent is to fail in duty. We are to speak out on all occasions when the glory of Christ requires it. We should never be afraid to speak a word of warning to one who is in danger. We should never hesitate to speak boldly in confession of Christ, when all about us are Christ’s enemies. We have many cautions about watching our speech and withholding words that are not good but we must beware of silence about the eternal things. We scarcely ever lack words when the themes are light and trivial; let us not fail amid the light and trivial talk to speak earnest words which shall not be forgotten.

Mordecai reminded Esther further that she was not God’s last resort. “If you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?” If one messenger proves unworthy of the trust reposed in him, another is found, and the purpose moves on to its fulfillment but he who has faltered is trodden down by the marching hosts behind him. The only safe way in life’s thronging field is straight on in the path of duty. No danger of the battle is so great as the danger of halting and turning back. No duty, however hard, should be feared half so much as failure in the duty. We should never shrink half so much from responsibility which seems too great for us as from the shirking of the responsibility. In the end it is always easier and infinitely safer to do our duty, whatever the cost than not to do it. God can get along without us but we cannot get along without Him, and to fall out of the line in life’s crowded pathway, is to lose everything. To neglect opportunities, is to throw away honors and crowns.

Mordecai went a step farther and reminded Esther that probably she had been born and raised up for this very task. “Who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?” Every one is born for something, some particular duty or task. Someone speaks of Stephen as having been born and trained that he might make one speech of thirty minutes in length. God has His people ready in their place when He wants to use them. If we are true to God, doing His will day by day we are always in the place where He wants us, and wherever we are He has some work for us to do. When we find ourselves in the presence of any human need or sorrow, we may say, “God sent me here just now to bring relief or to give help or comfort to this person.”

We sometimes wonder at the strange ways of Providence, by which we are carried into this place or that. Is there not a key here to this mystery? It certainly was a strange Providence that led Esther, the lowly, simple-hearted maiden, into the palace of the great Xerxes to be his queen but there was a divine purpose in it. She was placed there because she would be needed there by and by. When God by some strange providence brings us into peculiar circumstances or associations, it is because there will be some time a need for us just there.

At last Esther rose to the call of duty. She determined to go into the king’s presence. “So will I go in unto the king and if I perish, I perish!” She took the risk. There are times when the best thing we can do with our life is to give it up. There are times when to save one’s life is to lose it, when the only way to save it is to sacrifice it. Life that is saved by shrinking from duty is not worth saving!

Publishers' Binding Thursday

Since it's the beginning of the semester we're sharing an educational book that will help you reach your Language Goals just like the fellow on the cover. Language Goals was written by Dr. Henry G. Paul, professor of the "teaching of English" at University of Illinois, and W.D. Miller, "Formerly Superintendent of Schools, Easthampton, Mass." I've shared several of this sort of book here and for most of them it's been difficult to find anything out about the authors, as is the case here. However, we do know that the publisher, Lyons & Carnahan, was a textbook publisher based in Chicago and published this book in 1931.

The book's cover features some tree or leaf (?) like designs in columns on either side of a man with his arms triumphantly raised atop a long staircase or pyramid. This book has some personal touches to it that we can only assume were added by the person whose name adorns the flyleaf: Russell Frank Engstrom. We also know Engstrom's address (2447 North 62nd Street, Wauwatosa, WI), home room (116) and English teacher (Miss Macdonald, Room 117). There is also a little doodle of a man labeled "Uncle Sam" and written on the foreedge is "R.E. L J.M." and "J.R. L D.W." I can only assume the Ls stand for "loves."

When we preserve books we sometimes also get to preserve some stories or memory of the people who owned them. In this case, the fact that Russell Engstrom of Wauwatosa loved somebody with the initials J.M. when he was in junior high in 1931 gives us the idea that maybe junior high has always been about crushes and who likes who.

The only one perfect life the world has ever known, was not spent with a book--but with a hammer and a saw! The school of common task-work, with its perpetual round of dreary duties--is the best place in the world in which to attain noble spiritual culture. There is no other way in which one's life will be so surely, and so quickly transfigured--as in the faithful, cheerful doing of every-day tasks.

—J.R. Miller, “The Transfigured Life”

[ofermod]

I'm reminded of the famous review of Lady Chatterly's Lover that appeared in Field & Stream in 1959:

"Although written many years ago, Lady Chatterley's Lover has just been reissued by the Grove Press, and this fictional account of the day-to-day life of an English gamekeeper is still of considerable interest to outdoor minded readers, as it contains many passages on pheasant raising, the apprehending of poachers, ways to control vermin, and other chores and duties of the professional gamekeeper. "Unfortunately, one is obliged to wade through many pages of extraneous material in order to discover and savor these sidelights on the management of a Midlands shooting estate, and in this reviewer's opinion this book cannot take the place of J.R. Miller's Practical Gamekeeping"

Ok because I'm musing about the three other crewmates in the discovery I just remembered one of the most fucked up scenes in the book.

In contrast to the movie, Dave actually tries to revive his hibernating crewmates after Frank dies. Whitehead, or Kimball in the film, is the first that Dave starts to defrost. Right when Dave thinks he sees Whitehead starting to gain consciousness, Hal opens the pod bay doors and suffocates everyone (except Dave, obviously).

Earlier in the text, Dave talks about his time in the hibernation pod and how it's like sleeping more than anything else. However, the book also describes Dave waking up completely disoriented and scared of his surroundings.

Now imagine Whitehead just barely gaining enough consciousness to recognize Dave, thought returning, being confused and sluggish, only to get immediately suffocated and die.

I think about that a lot.

Devotional Hours Within the Bible by J.R. Miller

Returning from Captivity (Ezra 1:1-11)

But little is known concerning the history of the people during the seventy years except what we gather from the allusions of the prophets of that period. We know, however, that under God’s providence the captivity wrought great good to the Jews. By severe discipline, they were cured forever of idolatry. It has been noted as a remarkable fact, almost, if not altogether, without parallel, that the Jewish nation survived such a dislocation and dissolution of all local and social bonds as the captivity produced. One reason for this was the religious faith that bound them together. Besides, through all their humiliating experiences the hope of a return to their own land, according to their prophets, lived unquenchable in their hearts. A still further reason is found in the fact that the holy seed was in this nation, and it was therefore the object of special divine care. It is remarkable how even the genealogies of families were sacredly kept during the captivity. When it is remembered that the line of the Messiah ran through the tribe of Judah, the importance of this is obvious.

The returning of the Jews, was not an accident in history. The Lord’s hand was in it: “That the word of Jehovah. .. might be accomplished, Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Cyrus.” God never forgets a promise. When the end of the seventy years drew near He set in motion providential movements which prepared the way for the return of the people. Not a jot or tittle of anything that God has ever spoken, can fail of fulfillment. Any word of His that we find anywhere in the Scriptures we may grasp and trust, knowing that He will make it good.

Notice the way the Lord brought about this return of His people. “Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Cyrus.” God can always find some way to reach men’s hearts. It may be remembered that Daniel was still living and stood high in the government. Possibly it was through his intercession that the attention of Cyrus was drawn to the Jews in their captivity. Cyrus was a Gentile but God’s dominion is not confined to His own people. His authority extends everywhere. Heathen nations are under His sway. He uses all the powers of the world for the carrying out of His own plans. Men come on the stage of action and carry out their own little ambitions, with no thought of doing anything for the Lord, unconscious that what they do is in any sense a fulfillment of a divine purpose. Yet without knowing it, they are really helping to execute plans of God made long before they were born. It is a comfort to us to know that the divine purposes are being carried out in all the world’s life. Even wicked men’s devices which appear to be destructive to the Church, are overruled to the fulfillment of God’s purposes of love.

Cyrus did much to open the way for the people of Israel to return to their own land. He sent forth the proclamation, “All of you who are his people may return to Jerusalem in Judah to rebuild this Temple of the LORD, the God of Israel, who lives in Jerusalem. And may your God be with you!” The proclamation was addressed to all the Jews who were in the realm. All who would, were invited to go to Jerusalem to help in the work but there was no compulsion. There is another temple to be built for the Lord, and again builders are wanted. The proclamation comes now not from a heathen king but from Jesus Christ Himself. Every one is invited to come and take part in this great work. The poorest and the smallest can do something.

The temple at Jerusalem on which these builders wrought has long since perished. But the temple on which God wants us to build shall stand forever, and everything anyone may do on this building shall be eternal. But how can we build on the walls of the heavenly temple? By doing all we can in this world for Christ. Our own lives are parts of the temple, and we may seek to have our characters made good and holy. Then we can strive to make other lives better, to bring other people to Christ, and to help build up in them a likeness to the Lord Jesus. The smallest things that we can do for Christ shall be like stones laid on the walls of Christ’s house, which is rising within the veil, like ornaments little touches of beauty on some part of the glorious building.

Cyrus became enthusiastic in his interest in the return of the Jews. He even sought to get his own people to help the captives in this. “Those who live in any place where Jewish survivors are found should contribute toward their expenses by supplying them with silver and gold, supplies for the journey, and livestock, as well as a freewill offering for the Temple of God in Jerusalem.” There was opportunity for everybody to do something. Some of the people would work on the walls and some of them would help by giving money. There always are these two ways of doing our part in the building of God’s temple. Everybody had a share in this work.

Only a certain number of the people volunteered to return to Jerusalem but many others encouraged and aided them. “And all their neighbors assisted by giving them vessels of silver and gold, supplies for the journey, and livestock. They gave them many choice gifts in addition to all the freewill offerings.” The people became enthusiastic. When it was known that certain people were to return to rebuild the temple, there sprang up in many hearts the enthusiastic desire to assist. God influences even worldly men, to help His own people in their work for Him. All the money in the world is the Lord’s, and He can get it when He needs it. There is a pleasant suggestion also in the words, “strengthened their hands.” They were encouraged by the kindness of their neighbors. If we cannot ourselves do much for the cause of Christ, even our little gifts encourage those who are carrying the heavy burdens. If we cannot give money, we can at least give cheer, prayer, sympathy; and ofttimes such help strengthens men’s hands even more than money would do.

One other notable thing Cyrus did. Nebuchadnezzar had taken away from Jerusalem the holy vessels of the temple. “King Cyrus himself brought out the valuable items which King Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the LORD’s Temple in Jerusalem and had placed in the temple of his own gods.” It was not the fault of Cyrus that these vessels had been brought to Babylon and profaned by being used in idol temples. But he found the vessels there, and now it would have been his fault if they had been left there. So he quickly provided for their return to their own place. As we go on our way through life, we continually come upon evils that other people have started. We are not responsible for the beginning of these evils but if we let them go on and do nothing to check them we will be responsible for their continuance. It is our duty to undo every wrong wherever we find it. If there are wrong methods in vogue in the business in which we become a sharer, we must instantly correct them.

Podemos ter nossas tristezas, nossos desapontamentos, nossas perdas, mas toda a nossa vida está nas mãos de Deus – e nenhum dano real pode vir a nós.
