REIGN.

PRIMARY TOPIC—A Queen Visits a
King.

Visits Solomon.
INTERMEDIATION© SENIOR TOPIC
—The Climax of Israel's Greatness.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
—Tests of National Greatness.
I. The Queen of Sheba Visits Solo,
mon (vv. 1, 2).
Her visit was the result of Solo
mon's widespread fame. That which
made him famous was:
1. The extent of his kingdom (4 :21
25). lie ruled over all the kingdoms
from the Euphrates river to the Medi
terranean sea, except the Phoeneci
ans, but they were in alliance with
him. This was the nearest to the
realization of the divine promise,
(Gen. 15:18), that Israel ever en
joyed ; but the fulness of the promised
possession shall be realized when the
Greater than Solomon is kine.
2. His great wisdom (4:29-34). It
excelled that of the Chaldeans, Per
sians and Egyptians (vv. 30, 31). None
of his contemporaries approached
unto him in knowledge. He had a
singularly comprehensive mind. He
was (1) a moral philosopher —spake
3,000 proverbs; (2) a poet —his songs
were a thousand and five; (3) a bot
anist —he spake of trees, from the
cedar tree that is in Lebanon even
unto the hyssop that springeth out of
the wall; (4) a zoologist—he spake
of beasts and fowl, and of creeping
things, and of fishes. He was su
perior in intellect to any of his own
or any other age.
3. The temple (chs. 5 and 6). This
was an exact reproduction of the tab
ernacle, double in size, in marble and
gold. The amount of labor, skill and
money expended on the building was
exceedingly great (t Chron. 22:14-10).
Never before had such a costly struc
ture appeared.
4. Royal palaces adjoining the tem
ple (ch. 7). Following the erection of
the temple he began the building of
his own house. He was nearly twice
as long in building this as in building
the Lord's house.
5. His commerce (9:26-28; cf. n
Chron. 9:10, 21). His trading ships
went east as far as the Indian ocean,
perhaps even to India; and west a*
far as Spain.
0. Army and navy (10:26-29; cf.
9:27). Such wealth and greatness
would at some time provoke opposi
tion. so he put his nation into a state
of preparedness.
All this greatness was associated
with the name of the Lord. It was
known that his fame was due to his
relation with the living God. No one
ever had a greater missionary oppor
tunity than he. Wealth and knowl
edge may he powerful factors for the
extension of the cause of Christ.
11. The Queen of Sheba Astonished
(vv. 3-9).
After the interview in which Solo
mon answered all her questions, she
was overwhelmed with his great wis
dom. She had plied him with hard
questions to see if he could measure
up to his reputation, and found that
the half had not been told her.
111. The Queen of Sheba Gives
Gifts to Solomon (w. 10-13).
As was the custom, she brought
gifts to Solomon, the king, the gold of
which was in value between three and
four millions of dollars.
This was a large gift for that time,
but Solomon more than recompensed
her. lie gave her all she desired and
in addition, of his royal bounty. While
her gift to him was great, his to her
was greater, even in keeping with his
possessions. God gives unto them
who give their hearts unto him ex
ceeding abundantly above all they
ask or think (Eph. 3:20.).
IV. All the Earth Sought Solo
mon (vv. 23-26).
His fame spread to all the earth so
that the people came to hear the wis
dom which God gave to him. Thej
came with their gifts of silver, gold,
garments, spices, horses and mules, so
that silver came to be as common in
Jerusalem as stone. There is a time
coming when the Greater than Solo
mon shall be king over all the earth,
and then all the people thereof shall
come to him with their gifts, and he
shall give unto them of his royal
bounty. Happy, indeed, will all those
be who recognize him and give their
allegiance to him!
Good Conscience.
A good conscience is to the sonl
what health is to the body; it pre
serves constant ease and serenity with
in us, and more than countervails all
the calamities and afflictions which can
befall us froin without. —Addison.
Cheerful Friends
Everyone must have felt that a
cheerful friend is like a sunny day,
which sheds its brightness all around;
id most of us can, as we choose, make
is world either a palace or a prison

CALOMEL HORROR

Start Liver.
You're bilious, sluggish, constipated,
fou feel headachy, your stomach may
be sour, your breath bad, your skin
sallow and you believe you need vile,
dangerous calomel to start liver and
bowels.
Here's my guarantee! Ask your drug
gist for a bottle of Dodson's Liver
Tone and take a spoonful tonight. If It
doesn't start your liver and straighten
you right up better than calomel and
without griping or making you sick I
want you to go back to the store and
get your money.
Take calomel today and tomorrow
you will fee! weak and sick and nau
seated. Don't lose a day. Take a
spoonful of harmless, vegetable Dod
son's Liver Tone tonight and wake up
feeling splendid. It is perfectly harm
less, so give it to your children any
time. It can't salivate. —Adv.
Too Early
Friend wife was coming in on the
4 a. m. train and, of course, ray alarm
clock failed to register. It was exact
ly four when I woke up and, dashing
out to the garage, started the engine.
Still half asleep, I threw the clutch
into reverse instead of first speed and
whirled through the back door and
part of my neighbor's yard, bringing
up with a bang almost in the middle
of the sleeping tent where my neigh
bor's family spent their nights. My
wife certainly found a warm reception
when she reached home. The whole
neighborhood was out to welcome her
following the riot. —Chicago Tribune.
