PERT PARAGRAPHS.

One reason why li.v? is such a struggle is because it takes so much of our strength and time getting rid of the things we don't want. Single men and women are wearied of their situation mostly because they find it awful hard to explain.

The man who falls in love with a dollar feels just as bad as any other man when he is jilted. Nothing is more unsettling and paralyzing for the moment than the discovery of truth. Hearts are pretty generally apt to be self healing, so the broken ones are soon busy.

The one thing that we deplore about a man having a bad temper is the fact that he seems determined to let us all feel the quality of it. The greed of gold is hardening to the heart and when satiated is softening to the brain of the second generation. Hdlding a membership card in a charity workers’ union isn’t equivalent to a guaranty of salvation.

THE SUM SCHOOL, Lesson X.—Fourth Quarter, For Dec. 6, 1908.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.

Text of the Lesson, I Kings Hi, 4-15. Memory Verses, 11, 12—Golden Text, Prov. ix, 10—Commentary Prepared

by Rev. D. M. Stearns.

[Copyright, 1908, by American l4esB Association.] In some Bible studies there are some words which we do well to carry with us through those studies, and in this lesson and the next we should remember these words: “Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David, his father, and his kingdom was established greatly.” “Then Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king Instead of David, his father, and prophesied, and all Israel obeyed him” (I Kings II, 12; I Chron. xxix, 23). Another name was given to Solomon at his birth with which some do not seem to be familiar. It is written, “The Lord loved him, and He sent by the hand of Nathan, the prophet, and he called his name Jedidiah (beloved of the Lord) because of the Lord” (II Sam. xii, 24, 25). The name Solomon, which means “peaceable,” was given to him before he was born (I Chron. xxii, 9, margin). How beautifully suggestive the two names— beloved of the Lord, a man of rest, the Lord giving peace and quietness in his days. How sadly he failed to let God work out his plan! How perfectly It will be wrought out in the true Son of David, of whom God said, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well

pleased” (Mfdt. 1H. 17; xvii, 5).

How strangely do the first three verses of our lesson chapter read in the light of God's commands to have no fellowship with the heathen nations or their idols, affinity with Pharaoh, king of Egypt; marrying his daughter, loving the Lord and walking in His statutes, yet sacrificing and burning incense in high places! It sounds a good deal like the worldly combinations of today, which must so grieve the Spirit, for we are plainly told that whosoever will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God (.Tas. iv, 4). In these days the tabernacle and the brazen altar were at Gibeon, but the ark of the covenant was in the tent at Jerusalem which David had pitched for it, and to Gibeon Solomon and his people went to offer burnt offerings unto the Lord (verse 4; I Chron. xxi, 29; II Chron. I, 1-6). All the offerings appointed by God were t.vpieal of the one great offering of Ills Son, who by the sacrifice of Himself put away the sins of all who receive Him. Only by Him have we access to God, and only by Him can we truly worship God or serve Him, and for His sake God does all things for His people, notwith-

standing their unworthiness.

So we read that In that night Jehovah appeared to Solomon, and God said unto him, “Ask what I shall give thee” (verse 5; II Chron. 1, 7). God is the Creator, to whom nothing is too hard or wonderful (Jer. xxxii, 17), aud Jehovah is God coming to man in grace and a righteousness which He Himself gives by virtue of His great sacrifice. He Is the same one who when hero in humiliation said to a poor blind man, “What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee?” (Luke xviil, 41.) He said to the apostles and through them to us: “If ye abide in Me and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will and It shall be done unto you.” “Whatsoever ye shall ask in My name, that will I do. that the Father may be glorified In the Son. If ye shall ask anything in My name, I will do it” (John xv, 7; xiv, 13; 14). There is a word also in this connection in Isa. xlv, 11, “Concerning the work of my hands, command ye me,” in reference to which the late John Wilkinson once wrote me, “It is strong language, and, though it Is the Jews’ by interpretation, we can take it by application, and I take It in the modern sense of ‘your wishes are commands to me;’ press your desires and hold me to my word.” Here is something we seem to know little about, for we are so lacking in

oneness with Him in His purpose.

In reply to God’s great offer Solomon rehearsed the facts concerning the present situation, the great mercy and kindness that had been shown to his father David, his own position as king over so great a people by the grace of God and the great need of wisdom and understanding to rule so great a people, and he said, “Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people” (verses 6-9; II Chron. I, 8-10). Judah and Israel were said to be many as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, dwelling safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, and so God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the seashore, making him to excel all the wisdom of the east and of Egypt, so that people came from all kings to hear and see (I Kings Iv, 20, 25, 29, 30, 34). Because of Solomon’s request God not only gave him what he asked, but also riches and honor, which he had not asked (verses 10-14; II Chron. i. 11, 12), making us think of Eph. iii, 20, 21, and of Him who, speaking of the queen of Sheba’s visit to Solomon, said, “A greater than Solomon is here” (Matt. xU* 42). He is the wisdom of God and bas said to us by His Spirit, “If any of you Jack wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not, and It shall be given him” (I Cor. i, 24, 30; Jas. I, 5). He Is ready to be our wisdom for every day, every hour, every moment, /'every emergency, every person wo

[have to deal with.
