Key of the class of 1924 and J. Taylor Stanley of the class of 1923, First prize of-$10 for the best use DEFENSE PROJECTS Between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000 Involved in War Department Plans. Panama Canal defense projects under general discussion in the War Depart- ment, but not as yet put into definite shape for consideration by Secretary Weeks, probably would represent an outlay of between $5.000.000 and $10,- 000,000. That sum expended on the ex- tension of France Field to accommodate a larger air force and upon the installa- tion of modern sixteen-inch guns on the Pacific side, Mr. Weeks said today, probably would take care of the imme- diate requirements of the canal defenses. Experts Not n Unit. There is some difference of opinion among the military experts as to where the additional big guns should be placed. One school of military thought believes they should go on the islands lying off the Pacific en- trance to the canal, while the other takes the view that the greatest effi- clency of the new batteries would be attained if they were installed on the mainland, Secretary Weeks reiterated that t whole question still is to be tudied by boards of officers and that such recommendations as the Army rds may make will then be re- viewed by the joint Army-Navy board It appears unlikely that the project will contemplate a cost in excess of §7,000.000, including an expenditure of about $700,000 on France Field. Panama’s Request Granted, A request from the government of Panama for authority to operate air- planes over the Canal Zone was granted by Secretary Weeks today, subject to regulations to be worked out between the Canal authorities and the officials of the Republic of Panama. A conference for that pur- pose will be held in the near future by Army and Navy commanders in the Canal Zone, canal authorities and Panama officials The general permission granted by Secretary weeks would permit opera- tion of either commercial or military craft by the Panama government over zone territory, so long as they complied with prescribed require- ments, ENTERTAIN WITH MUSIC.

The program was a combination of readings and piano solos in the first part, a series of songs by the “mina- ture minstrels” in the second part, and a4 charming little flower play in the third part.

HUGH T. STEVENSON, NEHEMIAH, THE BOLD BUILDER. Nehemiah, chapters 1 and 2; 4 to 6; 8:9-12; 12:31; 13:31. (A Survey of Nehemiah's Life)) Golden Text—Bo not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord.— Neh., 4:14. Nehemiah stands out as the first great layman in the history of Judah who freely sacrificed himself and his fortune for t glory of Jehovah and his country. It could be said of him. as it was of Moses, that “he chose to suffer with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures for a sea- son.” Over seventy years had passed since the Jewlish people had been car- d into captivity by the Babylonian army During that period many of them had attained positions of power and afluence In the country that Abraham had left in vesponse to the call of Jehovah. The pious Jews in exile never forgot Jerusalem or the liome of their fathers. The epirit that marks Zionism was prevalent amon the leaders in the captivity. Babylon overthrow by the Persians resulted i the way being opened for many of them to return to Jerusalem. where they re-established the national iife and resumed the worship of Jehovah in the temple. Although 45.000 had returned under Zerubbabel, with the approval of Cyrus, the etories of their condition that reached their brethren in Pe were full of discouragement They found themselves reduced to extreme poverty and despair. The walls w still in ruins d the burnt gates had ot been rebuil %0 that they pos- sessed no defense against the raids of their enemies. They found themselves exposed to danger, especially when they tried to keep themselves pa- rate, maintain the temple worship free n the contamination of the pagan ., preserve the sacredness of the I und the other distinctive practices of their faith. The stor: that Hanani, one of the pioneers, who had followed rubbabel in his ef- forts to restore the national life and resume the worship of the temple, told his brother Nehemiah, the cup bearer of Xerxes, gripped the patriot. The graph! pleture of his countrymen's weakness and peril moved Nehemiah to seek the direction of the Lord as to what ought to be done to velieve their desperate situation. We are apt to reverse his method Ve too often decide urselves what ought to be @one and then ask God's blessing upon our program. Prayer is the kev to success. secret of his com The ehemiah's life is found In nion with God. If one will study his prayer he will learn something of his source of power He placed his faith for Divine help in the promises of Jehovah. that he quoted as he sought help for stricken countrymen One of God's ways our prayers is for Him that we put ourselves back of our prayers. ~ Nehemiah's petition re- sulted in the Lord giving to him a call to personal mervice, There upon his knees Jehovah gave to the voung statesman a vision of the true condi- tion of the brethren in Jerusalem as well as the cause of their despair and its correction. Nehemiah heard the call of God as he praved. He aros: from his communion with the Lord determined that he would give up his life of ease in the court and take up the dangerous enterprise in obedi- ence to the call of duty and of Je- hovah. Nehemiah's season of fasting and prayer showed itself in his face. Xerxes, who had been defeated by the Greeks in the battles of Ther- mopylae and Salamis, noticed the | change in his cupbearer's counten- ance. It was against the law for the cupbearer, who was responsible for the king’s life, or any member of the court to appear in a manner that would bring displeasure to the ruler. . Xerxes' inquiry gave Nehe- miah an opportunity to plead for a “firman,” that would permit him fo £0 to Jerusalem and relieve the condi- ion of his countrymen. His request met with Xerxes' approval. Armed with the court's authority and with faith in God, Nehemiah, ac- companied by his loyal guard and his retinue of slaves, followed the path- way that Abraham had taken when he went out from Ur in response to God's call. Nehemiah probably went of answering to demand “Singing Hearts!" is the subject of Rev. E. Hez Swem tomorrow mern- ing. 11 o'clock, at the Centennial Baptist Church. Dr. W. H.
