(Creamed a I . E Comments Jwj I On S.B. «rel '{ Creamed Comments on the Sunday School Lesson, History in the Gid Testament. I Kings 4:21-29, 11:6-11. for Sunday. October 24. in the study of the history of the Bible one ought to look for God s purpose and his inexorable laws. A study of the life of Solomon is suggestive of these discoveries V. 21. "And Solomon reigned over the kingdoms from the river un-l to the land of the Phillixtlne*. and junto the border of Egypt; they brought presents, and served Solomon ail the days of his life." God's purposhe In making Solomon gieat was fulfilled in vastnesa ofter riiory: hla greatness was seen In his influence as all nations brought presents to him. Vs. 22,23. "And Solomon's provision tor one day was thirty measures of meal, ten fat oxen. , and twenty oxen out of the pas I tures. and a hundred sheet*, besides harts and roebucks, and fal--1 low deer, and fatted fowl." Soloi mon was greatly blessed in the: 'needed provisions; his wisdom was' evident as a great builder and a long distance planner. Had be continued to obey God his name | would have been great for all time. V. 24. "For he had dominion over all the region on this side of the river, from Tiphsab even to Atzab. over all the kings on this side of the river; and he had peace on all sides round him.*' i It is God s purpose that there be world peace as seen in Solomon's reign. Christ being the Prince of Peace, will produce world peace il only he has a chance. V. 25. "And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and fig tree, from Dan even I to Beersheba, all the days of Solo- ' mon." It is God's plan that there Ihv industrial prosperity and social security, "every man under > bis vine and fig tree" ' V. 26. "And Solomon had forty ■ thousand stalls of horses for bis /(-harlots, and twelve thousand horsemen." Here was a violation of I the law of God as laid down in {Deuteronomy, it is a clue to the , downfall of Solomon Prosperity I Oup Preacher If you do wit want your enemies to get you off center, practice this formula of Gandhi.

often causes one to be worldlyminded. selfsufficlent and unfaith-, ful to God. V. 27. "And these officers provided victual for king Solomon, and for all that came unto king' Solomon's table, every man in his {month; they lacked nothing." . I Here was social security in that they lacked nothing. Godliness is great gain Without purity there can be no lasting peace, and withs out holiness there can b« no conr tinued happiness. It is the smile , of God that procures lasting security and continued peace. V. 28. "Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries r brought they unto the Place where the officers were, every man acI cording to his charge " Solomon / is his own Interpreter. Bccle 5:11. "When goods increase, they are , increased that eat them; and what ( good is there to the owners there of. save the beholding them with ( their eyes, unless withal they have , the satisfaction of doing good with them." V. 29. "And God gave Solomon . wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the seashore." it is God's purpose that those who have large gifts should hav e large hearts to use them for the good of others. ( V. 6. "And Solomon did evil in ( the sight of the Lord, and went not fully after the Lord as did B David his father " Here is a turnI ing point in the lite of Solomon as he "went not fully after the Lord.” Christianity fails to be the power God Intends ft should be because there are too many half-hearted { Christians. When one is all out ' for Christ, then he is all out for him who will be a potent power in: society V.B. "And the l-ord was angry 1 with Solomon, because his heart ' was turned from the !>>rd God of' Israel, which had appeared unto him twice." 1-et no one think that 1 the God of love ia not also a God ] ' of judgment as to sin and man's ■ ' part in it. V.ll. "Wherefore the Ixvrd said ! unto Solomon. Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not r kept my covenant and my statuets. which I have commanded thge. ’ I will surely rend the kingdom trim ’ thee, and will giv« it to thy 1 vant." There was no warning provi- 1 sion attached to this announce- 1 ' tnenf. which has the ring of final- ‘ Ity in ft. I lishcd an everlasting moral law which operates in history and that God operates in the affairs of men ! \ dark and disastrous part of it I is man's story as he abandons God and flouts God's moral law. Both God and man must be taken into consideration. It Is not simply a matter of man and man. It Is at last a matter of man and God *' Lesson Prayer I.oskoii prayer: Grant. O God. that more and more, meu may .-ease to break the laws of God.

First ot all we need a conviction that If Christianity has a chance in making a real human brotherhood, and to meet the chal--1 lenge of world peace, the Christian church must speak with one ' voice and act as a single unit. 1 Some of the essential steps to thia unity are (a) knowledge instead of dtotorted optaioßt of each " other; (b) appreciation of the valuable contributions each group, other than our own, has made to religion, morality and common r culture of humankind; (c) actual r fellowship and more intimate association with each other; (d) practical cooperation with one another In some common service.
