Scientists Dig Up Traces Os King Salomon’s Reign Greatness, and Blunders, of the King Who Chose Wisdom as the Supreme (lift — Socia[Consequences of Spiritual Slump.

By william t. KLLII _ Amidst the present turmoil In Palestine over the application of the new Hrltish regulations, the many millions of Bunday School member* are called toa study of King Solomon, whose reign marked the apex of Jewish history. The favorite resort, and point of controversy, In Jerusalem today la the Wailing Wall, a surviving fragment of the great Temple build Ings constructed by Solomon nearly three thousand years ago. No other name in Hebrew history has conthined to shine with suck widespread lustre as that of Solomon. The books of magic current in the East are attributed to him. Folk tale* without end are based upon legends about him. Sojourners In Istanbul are attracted by the ceaseless flight up and down the Bosphorus of ’ tost souls’* —birds which seem never to alight; although It is known that they have their neat* about the Black Sea. The local tradition la that these tireleaa creaturea are in search of Solomon’s lost sword. hi one of the encyclopedias I read that there are no archaeological remains of Solomon’s glories Since that article was written the diggers have unearthed Solomon's immense stables at Megiddo, and his copper-smelting work* at Exlon Geber. at the head of the Gulf of Akaba. Only a few weeks ago. the mummy of Shishak father of Solomon's Egyptian princess wife, was found in Egypt. And Geier, the city that Shlshak gave his daughter as a dowry, has of late years been excavated, with many corroborative find* Exploration has also penetrated the domain*, and discovered the splendor*, of the reign of tbe Queen of Sheba. In southern Arabia* “In All Hi* Glory** An eye-filling figure throughout the ages has been Solomon The popular enthusiasm over the visit of Great Britain’s kinx and queen to these shores gave a glimpse of the loyalty and splendor that marched with Solomon'* early reign. This fame, which ha* outlasted the centuries, was merited by the monarch of Israel. He was wise above all other leaders. He was a builder, a consolidator. a harmonlzer. an Insplrer. a statesman, a judge, a leader, an author, a commercial and political imperialist, who gave little Israel not only enlarged boundaries. but also a name among the nations. Before he died, the borders of his country extended from the Euphrates to the Red Sea. Jesus bore witness to Solomon's superlative magnificence when He said of the flower* of the field that “Even Solomon In all hl* glory, was not arrayed like one of these.” Solomon's blood was good, and bad. Hl* father wa* great and godly Dwvld. who sinned so terribly In the matter of Bathsheba. Modern eugenics would trace a connection between Solomon’• sensuality and the fact that David ami Bathsheba Were hi* parents He married many wive*, and his harem held a thousand women Good Baginnings All that was later in Solomon’s life. Hl* beginning*, while attended by conspiracy and blood-letting that seems horrible to ns (or does It. in the light of China. Spain and Ethiopia?) were marked by nobility Upon hl* rested King David’s injunction, which every good father would like to lay upon his son. ”1 am going the way of all earth: be then strong therefore, and show thyself a man: and keep the charge of Jehovah thy God. to walk In Hl* ways, to keep Hl* statutes . . . - that thou tnayeat prosper In all that thou doest ' Conspiracy and revolt accompanied Solomon's asscession. Hl* brother Adonljah. with leading men of the kingdom plotted to sle*e the throne But Bathsheba and DuvId and Nathan acted swiftly and constructively They put Into effect an Immediate anointing nnd enthronement of Solomon, thu* by positive action forestalling the Adonijah conspiracy.

there, wherein God offered him a choice of boons. Solomon chose "an understanding heart to judge Thy people." Because he had asked the Wisdom Gml gave him also, unasked, riche* and honor. Th* Great Choice ( hole* la the supreme factor In all education. Our schools are undergoing intense and widespread analysis these days; but the element which He* |>eyond the powers of teachers and curricula rests within the minds of the students, th.- choices they make. Solomon's privilege of election comes to everybody: It is the birthmark of Royal Bonahlp, John Otenham has put the idea Into verse: "On. a* he jogs along tbe winding way. Occassion comes for Every Man to »*y. ‘This road?-—or 'That?' And as ho choose* then So shall his journey end In Night or Day." I Choice, dlvinest of all gift* of God to man. must be attended by , loyalty. Feet must keep the accepted path. For by the working* of that same free will which ta the ’ Divine Spark within us. a person may later repudiate hi* own wise choice*, a* did Solmon. Only yesterday I listened to the pessimistic word* of a psychiatrist ' I who declared that, as they reach I old age, many men cast off the I I inhibitions which have governed i their early life. He declared that I old men are not usually so stead1 ■ fast and noble a* young men. They lose their finer Ideal* and their 'j spiritual grace. Many Wive*. Many Idol* t| I do not want to believe that. I Yet It was true of Solotnou. tbe j wise. He married many wives and I i took over their heathen religions > Iso that tbe land wa* filled with II idol*. The great king wa* an early i i advocate of the modern cult of 'syncretism. He believed in a merg- : Ing of religion*. In bis later year* ■ he would have served as an elo- - quetit member of tbe group of I highbrows who go up and down tbe land proclaiming that air re- - ligion* are good, and that toler- . ance I* the supreme virtue. Thia . mood Is cutting into tbe very vlt- , al* of the Christian religion, de- - throning Christ, disregarding the > cro*a. and. by Implication, casting - out the Bible. I* there not something of cause i and effect in the fad that Solomon i when be discarded hi* single toyi alty to Jehovah, became an oppress- . or of hl* own people, a money- ' greedy Imperialist, a self-centered i exhibitionist?

Now the knife sinks down through the satiny icing into the snow-whita heart of the cake.—for the bride is carrying out the time-honored custom of cutting the first piece of the bridal cake herself. In a minute she’ll be sharing this first slice of wedding cake with her new husband.

It’a a proud moment for th* I bride—and it'* a proud moment, too. for Aunt Jane—or Couain Etta —or the neighbor across the street who had undertaken the creation of that gorgeous wedding cake. This i* the time of year when my mail contain* many appeals from the Aunt Jane*. Cousin Etta* and neighbors for help with these wedding cake*. They want to know just how one goes about it to achieve a cake tnat's three stories high—what kind of icing to use—and how much they'll need to make —or how to decorate the cake. I believe the following recipe for cake and king with the direction* for baking it will answer all these question*—and 1 know that if the recipe and directions ar* followed accurately—there will be a gorgeous snowy, three story cake that will make th* heart of it* creator swell with pride.
