The name of the. author is ,; not. known but tbes.e books were written earlier thSh Chronicles which treat of the same historic period. David's reign ended in tumult and disorder. Adoni jah, one of- hid sons, sought to assume the inheritance, whereupon Bathsheba had her son Solomon proclaimed as successor, with the help of the prophet, Nathan. the priest, Zadok, and the general, fered to bestow a boon upon him. In liia reply the young king first ex pressed gratitude and (then .his own humility,, finally .asking that the div be able to rule Justly and wisely. Because of the unselfishness, of the request Solomon was promised riches and, if he followed Jehovah, long life as well. The splendor of the king- may be seen from .the following quotation from Dean A. P. Stanley,. "His ban quets were of the most superb kind. All his plate and drinking vessels were of gold. His ' household daily consumed thirty oxen, a hundred sheep, besides game of all kinds. There was a constant succession of guests. The train of his servants was such as had never been seen be fore. "His stables were on the most splendid scale. Solomon's inter course with Egypt at once introduced horses. Four thousand stalls were attached to the royal palace. "He established gardens, and parks and trees of all kinds of fruit, and reservoirs or water to water the trees.

Need Money TO King of Tyre and Hiram, a worker in metal. A little more than seven years was needed for the construction of this great edifice. Upon its completion a great national ceremony of dedication was held, during which Solomon utter ed a prayer of intense spirituality and earnestness, including therein a re quest for blessing upon strangers as well as the children of Israel. Solomon's wisdom, great thoueh it was, was not that of a true states men. He was skillful as a builder, as a teacher, as a diplomat in arrang ing a whole series of marriage al liances with foreign royal houses. But he was not wise enough to see that buildings might be so numerous and so costly as to burden unduly the resources of his people. faolomon was not like, his father.

He looked upon his subjects (inly as means to an end to gratify his every desire. That was a great failure on Sol omon's par but his greatest was his failure to keep himself in touch with God. With his multitudinous marriages with heathen women, he allawed them to bring into his court their idols and idol-worship. Religion with Sol omon became something to be subordinated to political aims. He would not listen to the voice of the prophets. With Solomon began the long struggle between the kings and statesmen who looked on religion as a means to the national ends, and the prophets who saw in it the sup-, reme goal of a nation's life. And, thus, began the downfall of Israel as a nation. , it and then have a showdown with her " says the Virginia Senator, who adds that "if this means a retirement of Russia from the United Natfons, It IB lar herrer tn Hn fhof nnur k. eause as tone as she" continue hpr selfish and obstructive tactics, there iji; no hope of the United Nations being a real instrument for the ire servation of world peace." The Virginia Senator thinks that the United Nations should be reor ganized, if necessary, to permit it to function and that "if Russia is an enemy, and persists in being an enemy to free people, it is better t6 have her outside the family than in side the family." There will be many people to ap prove the position taken bv Senator Byrd. Apparently, such a test must come sooner or later if the United Nations is to function effectively. The question arises, however, jvhether it is wise to make the test now. Proposal To Assist Greece Is Within Purpose of U. N. The proposal of Senator Arthur H.

Are "Abnormal Profits" Back Of Steadily Mounting Prices 7 President Truman recently express ed "deep concern over the level of prices prevailing today." He said the same factor that can weaken our economy is the kind of selfishness "which is now expressed in the form of unnecessarily high nrireq for many commodities and for many manufactured articles." A few days later, Mr. Jack L. Straus, president of the world's larg est department store, annealpd to manufacturers, retailers and the pub lic to make an effort to reduce prices. declaring that prices could come down if, on the part of everybody, "there is a willingness to forego abnormal profits." The concern of the President and some of our leading business men over the present high level of prices is founded upon their realization that mass production can be supported only by a huge buying market and that the buying market is restricted by high prices. Apparently, the fear is that high prices will develop into buyers strike, which may cause thing except a few items. When this was done, there were abundant as surances from business leaders that private enterprise, functioning with out controls, would provide an abunr dance of goods at reasonablo The public is still waiting.
