over thirty years' experience in the work, know how to do it
right. I buy drugs in small quantities and often, so they are
always fresh. I aim to handle only the best on the market and
make the price >is low as possible to leave a legitimate profit.
I do not sell you one thing low and SOAK you on something
else to make up for it If you stay with this store you will win.
I keep postage stamps and sell them at cost to accommodate

I. The Preparation. Go hack to
verse 70 of the preceding chapter, and
you will find that the temple had Just
been receiving some large gifts. The
task of finishing the wall was also
completed, all of which gives point to
verse one, where It says that the peo-
ple gathered themselves together ns
one ntun. This was an ancient open-
air meeting, one we do well to study.
The people requested Ezra to “bring
the book.” It needed no catch penny
operations to draw the crowd togeth-
er. The writer of Nehemlah calls the
book “the law which the Lord hath
commanded unto Moses.” (See v. 1
cf. v. 14.) This, of course, would in-

It Is a great thing for nny people when
their civil rulers are genuine, Intelli-
gent, and spiritual leaders. The peo-
ple were Instructed to show their grati-
tude as well as their piety by remem-
bering “those for whom nothing had
been prepared” (v. 10). The fourth
result was peace (v. 11)—the peace
of right relation with God (Rom. 5:
1; Phil. 4:7).
Fifth Result: Service.
Mourning can very easily he con-
tinued too long, and, therefore, It was

The fifth result, therefore, was serv-
ice (v. 12). Notice that their thanks-
giving portions and their service were
based upon nn intelligent knowledge
of God’s word. If there Is anything

The success of the Nation depends on healthy business activity

Healthy business depends on the utilization of every possible
labor-saving, time-saving, money-saving device known.
The light-weight, economical Maxwell—in passenger service—
taking you where you have to go on business, helping you relieve
delivery congestion—is one of the greatest known labor-saving, time-
saving, money-saving devices.
