This royal favorite, bred in soft Persia and lodged in those earthly paradises, the summer palace and winter palace of his monarch, had yet "Jerusalem written on his heart. " • ••••• ••• Singleheart, better known as Nehemiah, was leading a life of delights with the king at Shushan, when Hanani, a pious Jew, who had gone with a company to visit Jerusalem, returned from that journey. Nehemiah questioned him eagerly about their city and countrymen. Then Hanani and his fellows hung their heads, and... told Nehemiah that the remnant of the cap- tivity in that land were in great affliction and reproach ; the wall of Jerusalem, also, was broken down, and the gates burned with fire. See now how Jerusalem was beloved by her exiled sons ! Born, bred, and thriving in soft, seductive Persia, the truediearted Jew Nehemiah was struck down directly by these words. He who had a right to stand on the steps of the greatest throne in the world sat down upon the ground, and fasted and wept and prayed before the God of heaven ; and this was his confession and his prayer: "O Lord God of heaven, we have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, 150 NEHEMIAH nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses.
