O Lord my God. thou haei made thy servant king Instead of David my father; and I am but a little child; I know not how to go out or com* in." Though a young man of 18 or 20. because of inexperien e. Solomon felt himself bill a child It Is God's plan that we count ourselves as a little child If we would belong to him Vi "And thy servant I* in the mid-d of thy people which thou hast chosen. a great people (hat can not be uumbi-red nor counted for multitude" In the phrase "thy people" i« stated that the people of a country constitutes the government and that by creation, at least, the people belong to God " A true national leader will seek to b-.0l the people to a higher alate iof living with eat h other and with I Cod.

noted. Vs. 1.1,14 “And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy wa* thirty thousand men. And he sent them to I-ebanon. ten thou*atid a month by courses; a month they were In la-banon. and two month* at home; and Adonlr- , am was over them " Pride and power now seised Solomon and so lie called for forced laltor of hi* , own people- whicii ended In a rise ' for freedom iu the reign of his sue-! cessor. A nation's safety is In the freedom of it* people Vls. “And Solomon had three score and ten thousand that bare burdens and four score thousand i hewers In the mountains." Solomon disc rlmated against the native* in that he oppressed them in great ; servitude. Class prejudice works against any nation. Vl6 "Beside the chief of Solomon* officer* which were over Hie work, three thousand and three hundred which ruled over the people that wrought the work.’’ Solomon resorted to a bureaucracy and In time there appeared corrupt politics, another element in nation decay V t "And it c ame- to pass when | Solomon was old. tha hi* wives turned away his heart after other gods and his heart was not perfect with the Lord God as was the heart of David hl* father.” Solomon* idea of international relations was that of marrying leading women of different nations. This foreign polic y was foreign to God and a* a esult Solomon was losing out with God; here was sure defeat. V* 5,6 For Solomon went after Ashteroth. the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Mllconi the abomination of the Ammonite*, And Solomon did evil in the sight of the laird, and went not fully after the land, as did David his father." The tendency of marrying one who knows not God is to influence the one who acknowledge* God away from Him. Solomon kept up some form of obedience to God but being in partis obedience he "went not fuly after tiie laird." Vi* 7-ti "And Solomon built high i places And the laird was angry < with Solomon because his heart J was turned from the Lord God." ciGotf s judgement will be surely expressed when those who know him ■| or might know him turn awsy from ! him There in nothing so important ;as finding and maintaining right > relations with God. I world community can lie created." I it was asserted recently before a eession of the Institute tor Religious and Social Studies by Dr. Hans Simons, dean of the School ot Politic*. New School for Social Research, New York City. Dr Simon* expressed his hope that "the g eat representative bodies ot all religion faiths will find a i permanent place in the Economic and Social Council at the I’M, to which they have as much claim I as the World Federation ot Trade > Unions or other economic organize- > tions.” The UN Education, SclentI ific, and Cultural Organization I (UNESCO!. *aid Dr. Simons, can- . not possibly dis egard the essenti ial role which religion has to play ’ in this program . • Q I Lesson Prayer Lenon praye;': We pray that I people everywhere may realize that • religion and government cannot be divorced Help each individual to | realize that the welfare of his counI try depends upon his right rei lai ion* with God and his fellow men o To have a low opinion of our II own merits, and to think highly of i others is an evidence of wiadom 4 —Thomas A.

It will take a generation for the people of China to learn to read, but with <h<-ap radio sets their evangelization can be immeneely hastened. Mr. K B.

Let it first be settled that the price of peace is so Important that we ought to be willing to pay a* much for it as we paid for world war. However, the price the nations of the world must pay is not so much in money, though there ought to be a willingness to feed the starving and relieve the distressed of all nations and of all race*. But the real price each nation must pay Is follow*: the surrender ot absolute national soverlegnly very much like the svrrendet of state sovereignty when the United States was formed; then there is ' the price of cessation ot power politics, the ending of competitive armament, the shift of our economy from self-centered nationalism to cooperative international ism, the overcoming of racial prejudice.
