CHAPTER IV.
To Every Man his Work.
Once a year, in the University of Cambridge, there is a grand day called Commemoration Day.

On that day, in the middle of the service, in each college chapel a list of honours is read out, a list containing the names of all those who, in times gone by, gave money or help to that college.

The bodies of those whose names are read have many of them crumbled to dust long centuries ago, but their names are remembered still, remembered for what they have done; and that they may never be forgotten, they are publicly read aloud, year by year, on the great Commemoration Day.
Let us now take up God's honour list, and see who are entered upon it.
We shall find it filled with the names of those who have been dead more than 2000 years, but whose names are not forgotten; they stand out fair and clear in the Book of God, all are entered on the great list of honours, and are remembered for what they have done.
Where shall we find God's great honour list?
It is the list of all those who responded to Nehemiah's appeal, and who rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem.

In Neh.iii.we have a list of their names, not one is omitted.

There those names have stood for 2000 years; there they will stand to the end of time.
