ADDITIONAL MATERIAL—II Chron | 8:1; 8:17. PRIMARY TOPlC—God’s House. JUNIOR TOPlC—Solomon Builds the Temple. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC ’ —Putting Our Best Into the House of I God. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —The Value of a House of Worship. I. Solomon's Preparation (5:1-18). lie secured from King Hiram: 1. Wood for beams, ceilings, sheeting, and chambers around the holy house. 2. Stones for the great foundation. These were secured from the I'hoenl- I cian quarries ami also from the moun- I tain upon which the temple was Luilt. I They were so shaped that when the ; temple was erected there was no sound ■ of a hammer heard. 3. Skilled workmen. Among the Is- ; raelites were not to be found men j skilled in this kind of work, so the king arranged with Hiram to furnish capable men. 11. Solomon Building the Temple (6:1-38). 1. The location—Mount Morah (II Chron. 3:1). This was a suitable loea- I tion, as it was here that the Lord ap- I peared to Solomon’s father, David. 2. The dimensions and materials. “If a cubit was 18 inches, the temple proper was 90 feet long, 30 feet wide and 45 feet high.” 3. The contents: (1) Brazen altar; (2) laver; (3) golden candlestick; (4) cherubim. 111. The Dedication of the Temple (8:1-66). The dedication of the temple was arranged to take place at a very favorable time. The success of an undertaking Is largely determined by the time in which it is held. This was arranged to take place at the most joyous of the several representative gatherings of the .Jews. The dedicatory services consisted of the following: 1. Bringing up the ark (vv. 1-11). The ark was God’s dwelling place. , The ark must be brought into the temple, for God’s presence was the true dedication When this great work was to be done the king arranged for a representative gathering of the people, consisting of the elders, princes and heads of the tribes. Though there ' were many great men, only the priests, 1 God’s appointed ministers, moved the ark. Connected with this service was a very great sacrifice in keeping with 1 the occasion. The ark with the two 1 tables of stone under the mercy seat , 1 shows God manifesting himself with I his people on the ground of a law perfectly kept and sins atoned for by the ■ shedding of blood. Following the completion of the sacrifice, the temple was filled with the glory of Jehovah. 2. Solomon’s address to the people 1 (vv. 2-21). He pointed out to the peo- ; 1 pie that God had chosen David to be : king, yet for certain reasons did not I allow him to build the temple, but promised that his son should do the work. Now that the work was done, i the temple was built, and the ark of the covenant was in its place, they i could be assured that God had raised him up in the room of his father. 3. Solomon’s dedicatory prayer (vv. 22-53). The ark having been placed in a most holy place, and the address to . the people having been ended, the king pours out his soul to God in orayer. In this prayer Solomon gratefully acknowledges God’s goodness in the past, giving glory to him, and pleads that his promise to his father be verified (vv. 22-26). He prays that God’s eyes may continually be opened towards the temple which he had now taken possessio . of (vv. 27-33), so that (1) in case of contention between par- ' ties he would judge between them (vv. 31-32) ; (2) in case of being smitten by the enemy, even though they had sinned, upon confession of the sin. God would forgive and restore (w. 33, ! 34) ; (3) in case of famine as chastisement for sin, upon confession and prayer before the temple, God would forgive and send rain (vv. 35, 36) ; (4) in case of pestilence and sickness, if they prayed to God toward the temple, God would hear and forgive (vv. 37-40) ; (5) in case of the coming of the foreigner, who comes at the news of God’s greatness, praying toward Jerusalem, Ids prayer should be heard I (w. 41-15) ; (6) battle, their cause should be maintained (vv. 44-45) ; (7) in case of being in captivity because of sin, God would hear their prayers and restore (vv. 46-53). 4. Solomon blesses the people (vv. 54-61). <>n the strength of the cove- ; nant promises, he invokes < Jod s pres- • enee alwajs to be with them and to keep them faithful, and exhorts the people to have their hearts perfect before God. walking in his command- * ments and statutes. 5. Solomon and the people offer sacrifices of thanksgiving (vv. 62-66). The joy of the ptMtp'.e was full; they blessed God ami the king. Seeking Opportunities. Most of us are likely to think that I we have responsibilities enough without praying for more. We wonder how we can get through the day, and we are not generally hunting for addi- ■ tional cares. Yet this is exactly what one very busy business man often does in his morning devotions. He asks God to send him on that day to some one who needs such help as he can give. H • is already a center of personal service for others, but he is asking for more. While others are peeking to find the way out of so many demands for personal aid, be L seeking for the way to get deeper into others’ burdens. It would make a great difference in any neighborhood if a few men were praying for such opportunities.

Truly a Worthy Cause. The notice of the meeting was so worded that a generous response was assured. At the appointed hour the hall was packed. The chairman called the meeting to order and introduced the speaker of the evening. He was a modestly dressed, unimpressive little man, but he was an earnest talker. “Ladles and gentlemen,” he said, “this meeting was called for the purpose of starting a campaign to raise funds for the impoverished contributors to innumerable other campaigns.” The rest of the speech was not heard because of the tremendous applause. Father and Daughter Get Relief by Eatonic R. J. Powell, Sweetwater, Texas, says, “Eatonic helped me at once, but it ■was my daughter who got the marvelous benefits. She could not even take a drink of water without awful misery, but it relieved her; she is feeling much better. All this from one box, so send me four more at once.” Hundreds of people now take eatonic; one or two tablets after each meal keeps them in good health, feeling fine, full of pep. Eatonic simply takes up the excess acidity i and poisons and carries them right out of the system. Os course, when the cause of the misery is removed, the sufferer cannot help but get well. You will find it a quick, sure relief 1 for heartburn, indigestion, sour, acid, gassy, bloated stomach. It costs but a trifle and your druggist will supply you. If you don’t feel well, you give eatonic a test. Adv. HONEYMOON SURELY AT END Brute’s Retort Proved That the Arrows of Cupid Must Have Lost Their Sharpness. Sad it Is when the brief story of the honeymoon departs, lea~ing only the ' prospect of the endless monotony of ordinary life ahead. But that was where the Smiths stood. Their honeymoon had soon waned under the stress of modem life. In fact, Mrs. Smith was already adopting the policy of masterly inactivity ; even hubby’s most loving endearment couldn’t get a kind word out of her. The tiff happened on Wednesday, and lasted till Sunday morning, when ! he, attired for his usual stroll, asked her: “What Is for dinner today, my dear?” His suave voice and winning smile j earned for him a brief retort. The i lady replied with more force than grace: “Oh, rats I” But he was not caught unawares. With a sweet smile he countered with the remark: “Well, don’t cook one for me, dar- : ling; I think I’ll have dinner out!” j — Domestic Interest Films Lead.

SCORE ONE FOR DIPLOMACY Will Be General Agreement That Little Joe Deserved the Treat He Was Looking For. Little Joe had been told that he could not go to grandmother’s house before the end of the week. And he wished very much to go right away, for grandmother had st new kind of cooky. He coaxed mother, but to no avail, so he decided to try strategy. “Mother,” he said sweetly, “when I get to be grown and away from home I’m still a-golng to come back and seo you every day.” Mother was delighted. “That will be grand.” she said. “I do hope you will remember that promise.” “Yes,” Joe was positive, “and if anything should happen that I couldn’t come any day I’m going to be sure to send your grandchildren to make up for me, so you’ll know I remembered you.” He made the trip to grandmother’s house that afternoon.

NO, SHE NEVER DID LIKE HIM Os Course She Looked Over His Love Letters Once in a While, but What of That? Over steaming teacups the two damsels sat and talked. The conversation turned upon an unfortunate individual who had incurred the disfavor of one of them. “No, I never did like him,” she said. “Why. when he used to write me glowing love letters I would only glance over them once.” “Only cnce. dear?” “Well —er — sometimes when I couldn’t make out his abominable scrawl I would glance over them the second time.” “Indeedl” said the other maiden, “and was that all?” “Except sometimes at night, I would take them from under my pillow and read them just to kill time.” “And was that the end?” “Yes,” was the reply; “only on rainy days I used to look over them again just to see how silly a man can be when he starts writing love letters. But I only glanced over them, dear. I never did like him.” He Should Have Known That.
