The first Temple was erected In Jerusalem during the reign of King Solomon. It took seven years of constant work, Involving thous ands of slaves, to erect the house of the Lord. Would God dwell there? This was the question the wise King Solomon asked upon completion of the Temple. He recognized that the highest heav en could not contain God, much leas the house that he had built. A man once said, "I never pass a church of my denomination or faith without praying." That man stated clearly what God's house means for most people. It is a constant reminder of the reality of God. It is a place of prayer and a call to prayer. It is a place of worship where kindred souls center their hearts and lives on God, seeking his way togeth- place for our lives Religion Is extremely personal, especially when it has to do with the confession of sin, the outpour lng of guilt, the need of one's soul (for God's pardon. But sin and guilt and pardon and forgiveness all involve other people, too. God forgives us as we forgive others; our guilt must often be confessed to others for their forgiveness; the reaching of the soul to God is best fulfilled as we unite with oth ers of like mind and spirit with ourselves. So religion is corpor ate as well as personal; It in volves others Intimately. Jesus in sisted that the first and great commandment is that we must love the Lord our God with all our heart and soul and mind and strength. He also said that the second commandment is like the first: We are to love our neigh bors as we love ourselves. Somtimes one needs to go into the house of the Lord alone, save for God, and there listen to the still small voice. One could be alone with God at home, or in a fear, in a Held, or oy a aiream.

Though the deepest commu nion with God is intensely person al, the presence of others not on ly adds a sense of assurance but also helps open the mental and spiritual doorway to tile coming of the Holy Spirit. We need both private and cor porate worship. Private Worship, daily and hourly, will increase the meaning of the hours in the house of God. And regular church wor ship, engaged in wholeheartedly with a questing spirit, will bring more richness and life Into pri vate meditation and prayer.
