A Desolate City
Nehemiah 2:12-20
And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem…


A desolate city tells a tale of past greatness, past resources, past life. Who can look upon the nations of China and India and not mourn over their moral and spiritual desolation? There are God's gifts in abundance, but superstition reigns supreme. The teeming millions are in a state of moral ruin. Shall we not feel compassion for them? Let us arise and restore the breaches made by sin, Satan, and superstition.

(J. M. Randall.)
