Power It Peril Lesson for May 17, 1959 SOME PEOPLE have everything. Not all people begin with everything; but King Solomon did. Talk of being born with a gold spoon in the mouth! Little Solomon would have choked with all the sets of gold spoons that belonged to him. He was the king who had every-

thing done for him. everything all arranged. He did not have to carve out a kingdom; his father David had done that. He did not have to develop an army; his father had done that too. He did

not have to try to be rich; he was born wealthy. He was the favorite son of his father’s favorite wife; the strongest forces in harem politics (always a power in barbaric countries) were on his side. Strength Has Its Dangers Solomon had better than a scheming mother on his side; God was with him. The beautiful story of Solomon's dream, in I Kings 3, shows the young king at his best. Yet the story of his reign, in spite of all its magnificent display, in spite of all the peace and prosperity, is in the long run a story of decay and degeneration. He was like a great rocket leaving its launching pad in a blaze of lights yet going off-course and bringing down in its crash many a hope and expectation of success. Why was this ? The story of Solomon tells us something about power and its perils. Most people think of power as a sort of insurance, and so we seize every chance to increase our power. Few powerful men are content with the power they have. They are always grasping for more. The Power of Bad Influoaeo One danger is that if a man is specially powerful, everything he does will be copied by lesser men. (Lesser men may be just as powerhungry as greater men, only not so successful.) As is well known, Solomon built not only the famous Temple of Jehovah; he built shrines for other gods, also in and around the city of Jerusalem. It is a fact that all that the prophets of the true God could do or say, for hundreds of years, did not succeed in winning the masses of people to the Lord. Worship of idols went on, generation after generation. And why not, with Solomons’ temples to other gods still standing? Why not? they would say—if it was all right for Soldmon it is good enough for us. If Solomon had been as loyal to God as God’s generous goodness to him deserved, the whole sad history of Israel might have been different. But because Solomon was no obscure working man but a powerful monarch, his very sins would be imitated—and indeed they were. Peril to Personality '*****«w There is a more intimate danger in great power, and that is to the inner self, the soul, of the one who has it. We must not think this is true only of prominent people like judges and presidents and generals. It is true of kings and cowhands, true of parents, whose power over their children is greater than they realize, true of employers, managers, everyone who has the right to give someone else orders. Ths danger is that the strong man comes to think that whatever he can do is right. Shill We Shirk Power? Solomon became a tyrant, as even hie, son admitted. If we had room, we could name still other perils of power, but the reader is invited to make his own list Let us just ask a question. Since the possession of power is a danger not only to the soul of the powerful but also to those over whom he stands, ought not a conscientious person to refuse to accept power, small or great? Not by any means. The dangers are always there; but they Are made less for the person who is aware of them. And power there must be. You cannot run a fish market or a church or a nation if nobody takes orders from anybody. Order and authority there must be; and without pfiwer this is impossible. Bishops and presidents and managers and bosses are neceesltie»; nevertheless they will (if they are Christian) hold office in true humility, not in pride.

THINE 13 THE VICTORY Rev. J. R. Meadows Many of us are frightened. We don’t know why. .. there seems to be no immediate danger. But we are fearful of what may lie in the fature. Tension in world affairs still exists. The struggle for power among nations continues. Strange new weapons promise to make war more devastating than any in the past. No wonder many are worried. What a good time this is to take inventory of our lived. Are we doing what God would have us to do? No real child of God has reason to worry today. No forces of destructin are sufficient to defeat God’s purposes. ’Biere may be suffering among us, but these things are not final. God has the last word. We are desperately in need of faith to live by. No faith answers our need ex cent faith in Christ.
