T,,., ,1111^^ I I. .|AW..a . idom OS s firm fOundatioB, Ito pre- ^ pared the way for the hulldlng of the Temple by Solomon, his son. The hand of David was felt by Israel as the hand of the potter Is felt hy the clay. It was for Solo mon, however, to engage In the actual construction of the Temple. It was foi* him to realise the ful fillment of _ the desire that'ln- herred In his lather, David. A Hallow^ AdUevement The-building of the Temple by Solomon was Indeed a halloweJ achievement. The event from be ginning to end was consecrated unto the wlll'of God and unto his glory and .was surrounded by con stant manifestations of his grace. It Is said that In the building op erations 160,000 Palestlneans were .employed. The workers were employed* in relays, it has been estimated that the total cost of the undertaking may have amounted to the 6ahlvalent of more than a half billion dollars of our money. EJven the founda tions of, Solomon’s' own' house were of "costly stones.” The work went forward under the assist ance of Hiram of Tyre, and the work throughout was wrought by hands of expert craftsmen. Gold and silver and all manner of preci ous stones were manifest through out the Temple In great abun dance. It Is too bad that the ravages bf time have made It im possible for this magnificent piece of handiwork, dedicated unto the glory of God, to be available for posterity. For, undoubtedly, it represents one of the greate.st achievements, from a material standpoint, on the part of the children of Israel throughout their long history. "And Jehovah said unto him, I have heard thy I prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there forever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there per petually.” It has been a holy un dertaking. The enterprise had been surrounded by an halo of divine presence from the begin ning. A Holy Covenant Upon the completion of the building of the house of Jehovah and the king’s house, Jehovah ap peared to Solomon the second time, "as he had appeared unto him at Glbeon.” “And as for thee^ if thou wilt walk 'before me, as David thy father walked. In in tegrity of heart, and In upright ness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and will keep my statutes and mine ordi nances, then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom over Israel forever, acordlng as I promised to David thy father, saying. There shall not fall thee a man upon the throne of Israel. But If ye shall turn afar from following me, ye or your children . . . then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a prov erb and a by-word among all peo ples." Someone, In reading this pas sage recently, commented, “You can just see In reading this what has happened. The Temple was de stroyed.” Yes, like In many oth er passages of the holy Scriptures, there has been fulfilment of di vine promise nnto the uttermost. God had promised Abraham that he would bless him and bless SALE OF VALUABLE REAL ESTATE Under and by virtue of an order >f the Superior Court of IVilkes county, made in the special pro ceeding entitled W. A. Bauguess, executor of the estate of Mattie Bauguess vs. W. A. Bauguess. J. J. Rhymer et als, the same being No. upon the special proceed ing docket of said Court, the un dersigned Commissioner will, on the 21st day of May, 1945, at 12 o’clock, Noon, at the courthouse door in iWilkesboro, North Caro lina, offer for sale to the highest bidder for cash that certain tract of land lying and being in North Wilkesboro township, 'Wilkes county.

Highway 4U hls children, but they In turn were to be a blessing; they, too, had a mission to perform. The .blessings were to be' two-way. There are so many people in life who desire to enjoy divine .bles sings without giving anything In refiura. They desire to reap hut are unwUllng to sow. As In the story of the little red hen, there are plenty of Individuals who are wllllhg to eat the bread provid ing they do not have to share In Its production. Jehovah had won drous things in store for Israel^, but Israel had a charge to keeb. If those blessings were to be en joyed. I Wealth and .Splendor The royal bounty of Solomon was almost beyond human com prehension. We are told that the weight of gold that came to Solo mon In one year was "six hundred threescore and six talents, besides that which the traders brought, and the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of the mingled people, and of the governors of the country." There was the great throne of Ivory overlaid with finest of gold; and all the king’s drinking vessels were of gold, “and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold." None of them were of silver. Moreover, th'e king had at sea a navy of Tarsiilsh with the navy of Hiram and "once every three years came the navy of Tarhish, bringlBg gold, and silver. Ivory, and apes, and pea cocks.” In the vords of the ancient writer, “so King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth In riches and in wisdom." Of hls chariots and horsemen, one might almost say they were with out end. Twelve thousand there were of horsemen that he be stowed In the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. "And tke king made silver to be In Je rusalem as stones, and cedars niade he to be as the sycamore- trees that are In the lowland, for abundance.” Such munificence would have excited the vanity of any oriental monarch. Indescrlb- £plo splendor reigned on every hand. Even the queen of Sheba was lured to hls court by the re port of Solomon’s fame. And she came “to prove him with hard questions..’ Broken 'Vows It would have been wonderful had Solomon possessed the strength of character with which to have remained steadfast in hls relationship with God. But he did not. The covenant between him and the Lord was soon for gotten; It was snapped by the pressure of his sinful doings as a reed In a whirlwind. "For It came to pass, when Solomon was old, that hls wives turned away hls heart after other gods; and hls heart was not perfect with Je hovah hls god, as was the heart of David hls father.’’ Jehovah had expressly forbidden the children of Israel from mingling with the "foreign women." He had warn ed the people that their hearts would be turned away from the true God by ench associations. Nevertheless, “Solomon clave unto these In love.” With the turning of Solomon’s heart away from Jehovah in violation of divine command, words of ringing condemnation came from Jehovah forthright, ‘Wherefore Jehovah said unto Solomon, For as much as this Is done of thee, and thou bast not kept my covenant and my stat utes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the king dom from thee, and will give It to thy servant.’’ Zlven so, those of our own days who fall to live In accord with di vine command will find, sooner or later, themselves confronted by the stem judgments of a just and righteous God.
