Controlling l Distemper in Dogs
J. T. L., Cordele, Gb., writes:
I would like to get a remedy for
hog distemper as I have a fine
hound puppy with it now and
have lost two others, I would
appreciate receiving a remedy
.„r this trouble.
Distemper as you doubtless know
is a contagious catarrhal fever. It
is one of the most common and seri
ous diseases of dogs.
It is usually caused by a germ
and by animals coming in contact
with another animal suffering from
the disorder. This disease is brought
on with a chill which may last for
some time. As a rule, it is followed
by a high fever. Usually a rash
breaks out on the inside of the
thighs. Often there is trouble in
breathing, and the dog suffers witn
great prostration. This disease is
in some respects like scarlet fever
in the human family. There is no
medicine that will interfere with the
course of this disease. The thing
to do is to keep the animal comfort
able and build up its strength as
much as possible so that it may re
sist the disease to better advantage.
X igorous dogs of good constitution
resist this disease and usually re
cover; weak, debilitated animals are
likely to be overcome by ß the disease.
The disease runs its course in from
ten to thirty days.
Castor oil in half-ounce doses with
two or three grains of boric acid
should be given every six hours.
Then two-grain doses of quinine may
be administered twice daily. T,he
nose, mouth and eyes should be
sponged out three times daily and
the nose should be greased with
vaseline. Induce the animal to take
as much beef tea. 'sweet milk, or raw
eggs as possible. Dried blood in

Building Up Soils by Crop Rotations
W. H. 8., Alamo, Ga.. writes:
I would like to have a plan for
a good rotation of crops so I can
build up my soil. What crops
would you suggest using and
when should they be sown?
Ln you section of Georgia you can
grow a great variety of food and
feed crops to excellent advantage
The first thing for you to determine
is the type of farming in which you
expect to engage. If you expect to
emphasize live stock, then you
would grow one class of crop. If
you wish to make cotton an im
portant factor, you would grow an
other class or type. If you wish to
specialize in hog production, still an
other crop combination should be
given preference. It is very diffi
cult under the circumstances to ad
vise you very definitely how to
proceed. No doubt you will minimize
cotton production in any event. This
will be necessary on account of the
boll weevil invasion.
Our thought would be to increase
the area in peanuts which can be
sold as a money crop for crushing
purposes. We would also raise
more grain so that it would never be
necessary to buy feed for the farm
live stock. Winter oats will grow
finely in your section, and you can
get them off the land in time to
follow with peanuts or cowpeas. The
next year, this land could be de
voted to corn in which velvet beans
should certainly be planted. In the
fall you might seed this land to
crimson clover or hairy vetch. You
could grow the latter crop and sell
the seed. If ye'd expect to grow
cotton, you would have to keep this
land free as early planting is abso
lutely necessary under boll weevil
conditions. To accomplish this end,
fall plowing or breaking of the
land should be undertaken. There
will be a growing market I think for
cowpeas, peanuts, velvet beans, corn,
oats and "rye. You may also find it
desirable to grow as rriuct wheat as
you need for the use of your own
family. If practicable, I would
specialize in some truck crop which
could be grown cheaply in the win
ter season. Onions will give you
good returns. I would endeavor to
feed all surplus food products to
either beef or dairy cattle, selling
only the finished products from the
land. You should certainly endeavor
to produce all the hay crops you
need. There is no trouble in youi'
section of Georgia in doing this on
a very extensive scale as almost any
kind of hay crop used in the United
States can be grown successful!}’
under your conditions.
Productivity of Pecan Orchards
W. H. M., Albany, N. Y.. writes:
What is the average yield of
pecan trees at the ago of five to
twenty years, and what has been
the average selling price per
pound during the past five years
for the best quality of paper
shell pecans?
| Pecan trees vary greatly in the
harvest of nuts they yield. Begin
ning with the fifth year a pound and
upward of marketable nuts may be
secured. At the twentieth year the
yield will vary greatly, but has been
known to be as large as 200 pounds
per tree. Some ten-year-old orchards
of 200 trees have made approximate
yields of from thirteen to fifteen
pounds of nuts. Many things will
affect the yield obtained from pe
cans. Among the influences affecting
the same are the types of soil in
which the trees are planted. The
pecan naturally loves rather rich,
deep, moist soils. It does well, how
ever, on lands of a lighter type pro
vided they are liberally fertilized and
properly intertilled. One can, of
course, build up soils such as have
been indicated through leguminous
crops, and the proper and skilful use
of plant food will do much toward
aiding the pecan grower to secure
profitable returns from his land.
The variety planted will also in
fluence the yield. Among the varie
ties best adapted to the mountain re
gions are the Mantura, Stuart, Rome.
Moneymaker, Carman, Curtis and
Van Deman. The bdst varieties for
the middle section of the state are
the Stuart, Moneymaker, Carman,
Pabst and Van
ern part of the state the Stuart, Cur
tis, Bradley, Pabst, Alley and Success
are the best varieties. The Frotscher
is a rather popular variety in all
parts of the state, but stands espe
cially high in favor in southwest
Georgia. The Schley has not been
recognized because of its tendency
to scab. The Nelson is one of the
largest nuts in the matter of size,
but does not always All out well. The
Moore, owing to its productiveness,
is a favorite in some sections of the
state.
The selling price varies so that it
is difficult to give an average of the
figures you request. Thirty-five to
40 cents would represent fair average
price. Extra selected strains will
probably sell as high as 75 cents.
Nuts of this character often retail
at $1 a pound. _
Sprouting First Crop Irish Potatoes
G. S. G., Rome, Ga., writes:
Will you please tell me the best
method for sprouting the first
• crop Irish potatoes as I wish to
plant them for a second crop.
The best means of Inducing Irish
potatoes to sprout in so far as I
know is as follows:
As soon as the potatoes are suf
ficiently hard to have a firm skin
dig them. Spread them in a very
thin layer under a well shaded build
ing or a tree that will protect them
from the rays of the sun. They
should be induced to dry out as rap
idly as possible. Os course you can
over-do it in this respect. When a
part of the sap had gone out of
them, we have had no difficulty In in
ducing them to sprout. Some people
put a light layer of earth over them
and keep it moist. Our idea has
been to protect them from the light
to a certain extent. We have been
able to sprout Irish potatoes rather
rapidly by handling them In this
manner.
We have found it desirable to
sprout them before planting them
They will then germinate and de
velop in the soil much more quickly
than if planted just as they are dug
before they have been dried out and
sprouted. ’ We use only the small,
uncut potatoes for planting the sec
ond crop.
The Value and Virtue of Sweet
Clover
W. E. M., Bladen, Ga., writes:
I am sending you a plant which
I found growing in pro
fusion: Both my hogs and cat
tle eat it readily, and if it has
any real merit I can save a
large amount of seed. Please let
me know its name and if it has
any special merit as a forage
crop.
The sample of clover inclosed is
known as Melilotus abba, or sweet
clover. It bears this name by rea
son of the white flowers and the
characteristic odor observed wher
ever it is grown, -c is sometimes
mistaken for alfalfa as it resembles
the latter plant very much during
the earlier stages of its growth and
development. Later on it becomes
large in size, and, at that time, the
differences in the characteristics of
the two plants become quite marked.
In many sections sweet clover is a
wayside weed. It is also known to
some as the Bokhara clover.
Animals frequently do not take
kindly to sweet clover when they
first come in contact with it. Later,
they may learn to graze on it suc
cessfully and to eat the hay readily
provided it has been made from the
plant when it is young and is prop
erly cured. This clover is an en
richer of soils. It belongs to the
family of legumes. It inoculates
land for alfalfa. It is a crop the
cultivation of which we should en
courage. The indications are that
it is going to spread over consider
able areas .of our land in Georgia
eventually and prove a boon to our
agriculture fox - the reasons assigned.
It is, of course, rather difficult to
eradicate in some sections, and this
has created prejudice against it in
the minds of many. We would sug
gest that you save as much seed as
you can and sow them early in the
fall on well-prepared and enriched
land, much as you would seed alfalfa
or any other of the clovers. If you
gain no benefit from it save that of
soil enrichment and the satisfactory
inoculation of the land for alfalfa,
you will find any effort directed to
ward its propagation well worth
while.
CORRECTING DEFECTIVE
LIILK SECRETIONS
L. W. R., Fort Valley, Ga.,
w-rites: I wish some informa
tion in regard to my cow. She
has a third calf which is about
nine months old and for the past
two months her milk has not
been right. It has yellow lumps
and strings in it and she does
not let it down good. She does
not want to be milked as it
seems to pain her. Any help
you can give me will be appre
ciated.
The trouble with your cow Is due
to the caking of the udder. This
results from several causes. In the
first place, more milk may have
been formed than was drawn from
the udder. In the second place, the
udder may have been stepped on. In
the third place, it may have been
injured in getting over a fence or
through a gate. In any event, we
recommend the method of procedure
in treating this caseoutlined below:
First of all, fasten the cow se
curely and then knead and work
the affected part of the udder very
gently. This should be done with a
considerable degree of persistency.
Next, bathe the udder in hot water
for twenty minutes. This water
should be just as hot as the hands
can bear and should be kept at a
high temperature. The udder may
be bathed by wringing heavy bath
towels out of the water and holding
them against the affected part. After
fomenting the udder in the manner
indicated for twenty minutes three
times daily, strip out the milk very
thoroughly and completely. This is
a matter of the utmost importance.
You must cleanse the affected part
of the udder as thoroughly as pos
sible by removing the milk which
is in an abnormal condition. The
udder should be kept greased with
vaseline, fresh lard or camphorated
oil. This prevents its chafing and
also keeps it in a soft and pliable
condition. Next secure a glass fun
nel and attach to it a rubber tube
three or four feet in length. A glass
tip should be inserted in one end
of this tube. Boil some water very
thoroughly, then cool it and add
thereto ten grains of boric acid to
one ounce of water. Inject this into
the teat with the apparatus described
above. This solution should be used
twice daily, after milking. In this
manner you should be able to effect
a cure.
Cotten Ceed and Velvet Bean Weal for
•Cows
G. B. C., St. George, Ga.,
writes: I am sending a sample of
cotton seed meal and velvet bean
meal, and would like to know if
they are fit for cow feed. Our
cow seemingly has impaction of
the stomach and I am inclined to
blame the cotton seed meal,
though perhaps it is feeding too
much concentrates. Any sugges
tions will be appreciated.
There is no possible way to deter
mine by analysis whether a sample
of cotton seed meal is good for feed
ox* not. In so far as our experience
goes, we fed cotton seed meal but
once when we thought the results
from its use were unsatisfactory.
This was in the case of some off-col
ored meal purchased late in the sea
son. We discontinued its use and
the trouble we had experienced dis
appeared. Cotton seed meal, when
used as cattle feed, should, in our
judgment, be as fresh as possible and
made from good, wholesome seed.
Damaged seed may contain mold
which would make the meal derived
therefrom objectionable fox- use as
cattle feed. We are, therefore, in
clined to advise that all meal which
is slightly off-color be used as fertil
izer, and not feed to live stock. We
believe this is a safe and wise con
clusion to reach and we feel justified
in making these statements by rea
son of long experience in feeding
beef and dairy cattle on cotton seed
meal, since it is only that which
is ejerived from damaged seed, or
which has been kept too long under
unfavorable conditions we consider
as undesirable for stock feed.
Velvet bean meal can be fed to
dairy cattle with considerable suc
cess. We haye had very good results
from its use, and have had no com
plaints against feeding it to this
class of animals. It should, of course,
be bright and clean in appearance
when made from good seed and well
kept. Velvet beans are naturally so
hard that they are not easily dam
aged by variable weather or ex
posure. Insects do not appear to
damage them. Our experience with
velvet bean meal has been such as to
make us feel that, we can recommend
its use with safety. - •
Home Grown Cabbage Plants
C. S. M., Waycross, Ga.,
writes: I would like to have the
name of .a reliable cabbage
plant grower on Youngs Island.
Will plants grown there head
better or quicker than what I
could raise at home? Should the
cabbage be set on a ridge or on
the level?
We are not acquainted with the
cabbage growers on Young’s Island.
You could probably secure this in
formation through the Clemson Ag
ricultural college at Clemson Col
lege, S. C.
There is no reason why you should
not plant cabbage seed immediately
in a properly shaded and protected
place where the soil is rich and
mellow and can be kept moist. We
grow our own cabbage here for the
fall crop. They are already up and
growing nicely. We know of no rea
son in, the world why plants thus
produced should not be as satisfac
tory for planting for a fall or earlv
winter crop as those you can secure
from anywhere else. It is impor
tant to see that you secure good
seed and that you choose selected
varieties adapted to your location.
You should also give attention to
the selection of varieties that will
best meet the market demand. On
low. wet ground, cabbage may be
seeded on a ridge. In planting for
a fall or winter crop, it is good
practice to seed on the side of a
ridge sheltered from the wind and
cold. You can throw up such a
ridge very easily. Thip is the prac
tice followed by the cabbage growers
of 1 tidewatei' and the Norfolk and
Portsmouth areas where cabbage are
produced for the eastern markets on
a very large scale.

MARY MEREDITH’S ADV IC E
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
Dear Madam: Here I come to you
for advice. My age is between twen
ty and thirty-five, and I go with a
girl seventeen years of age. I will
describe her the best I can. She
is about five feet tall, blue eyes,
light hair, a perfect blonde. I have
been going with her four months and
I love hex- dearly and she says she
loves me and says she loves me
good enough to marry me some dqy.
I told her when I commenced going
with her I. was going to treat her
'With all kind respects and I have.
When I started going with her I
was going with two or three other
girls and she asked me not to go
with any other girls and I stopped
going with all the rest of my girl
friends but her. But some one has
been telling her things on me that
are not true and she is not on good
terms with me and wants to go with
other boys. I love her the best of
any girl I ever went with for the
length of time I have been going
with her. She and I have had a
little trouble, but I think it is all
over now. Do you think this girl
loves me and if her love for me is
true, and should I keep on going
with her or stop and go with some
other nice girl? Hoping to see this
in The Atlanta Tri-Weekly Journal.
I will describe my self. I am six
feet tall, weigh 160 pounds, brown
eyes, black hair, dark skin. I live
on a farm and like farm life.
Respectfully,
DOCK.
You are a “husky” sure enough.
Are you sure that you gave up
your two or three other girls for
this little blonde? If she really
thought you were serious when
you made love to her, and she
told you she loved you, and you
had promised to marry each oth
er, then it seems to me there
could be no other girl for you,
or any other man for her. Why
don’t you plead your case to her.
Go to her, tell her you love hex’
and want to marry her. Find
olxt the truth. But if you do
not expect to marry her, then
let her alone about the other men
friends she may have, for you
haven’t the right to dictate to
her. Have a real understanding
at once, that is the best plan.
Miss Meredith: I am a girl of
fourteen summers. Do you think I
am old enough to have boys to come
in cars this winter and carry me
to parties? Am I old enough to
have boy friends this summer? I
have never had a caller yet. If my
mother ,and several others are sit
ting on the porch when it is my
first time, where shall I entertain
him.
“BUSY BEE.”
It is all right to have boys to
come in cars this winter and take
you to parties, if you have a
chaperon. Some grown-up per
son should accompany you. You
should be able to have a few boy
friends to come to see you. If
your mother is interested in your
happiness she should arrange to
let you entertain a few boys and
girls occasionally at home. You
could take your caller in the liv
ing room, but leave the doors
open so he will see that you
are under your parents’ protec
tion.
Here comes a country girl for your
advice. I am eighteen years and
four months old, and have been go
ing with a boy nineteen years old
for nearly two years. He said he
loved me better than any other girl
lie has ever been with, and I am
sure I love him better than any oth
er boy I have ever went with, and
we have been going together regu
larly nearly every Sunday until
about three Sundays ago -when he
stopped going, with me, and didn’t
write and tell me his reason for
stopping. What do you think is the
matter with him? I have never
given him any cause to stop. I saw
him in town afew days ' ago. He
seemed as if he was mad with me.
He only spoke to me and didn’t say
another word. Do you think I did
right to speak first? Would you ad
vise me to write to him and ask him
why he is so indifferent? The rea
son of his treating me so coldly? I
wrote to him last. He went often
to see another girl before she went
away to school. She has returned
and he hasn’t been to see me but
once since she came back. Do you
think he is going with her and
doesn’t mean to keep company with
me? I dearly love this boy and don't
think I could be happy without him,
and I want your best advice. There

A SEPTEMBER CHICKEN TALK
Have you given your fowls salts
and sulphur once a week since the
first of June? If you have you are
moderately safe from sore head. I
must confess that, we have had so
much rain that the sulphur could
not be given as regularly as usual;
you know that sulphux- taken in
rainy weather causes rheumatism.
However, I am now feeding a tonic
of nuxvomica once a week and have
permanganate of potash in the wa
ter. Use a level teaspoonful of per
manganate of potash to a gallon of
water. Any good poultry tonic, not
the sort so extensively advertised to
make hens lay, but the sort to put
them in condition. Your feed mer
chants, the one keeping stock tonic,
probably has one, and one box of
that tonic fed to them according to
dxrectxons in a moistened mash about
twice a week will help them molt
sooner. I give that or nuxvomica
arid once a week I give them a half
pint of cottonseed meal in their
moist mash. The busy mother may
have to do this in the afternoon, but
morning is a better time. They are
not getting as many bugs as they
did earlier in the season and putting
the cottonseed meal in a moist mash
supplies that need.
I do not want my hens fat and
do not feed them heavily at any time,
but especially now. But you must
feed the youngsters or they will not
develop as fast as they should.
But to go back to the scourge of
the south, sore head; watch your
hens and when you see one unusual
ly red, a vivid red, not the healthy
looking color, give a level teaspoon
ful of Epsom salts in just enough
water to dissolve it. That’s a strong
dose, but. you must get the poison
out of the system and wash the
head with a weak solution of stock
dip or the permanganate water you
fix for them to drink.
Where there are pimples or postules
I always use stock dip, and use it
pretty strong. I had people to tell
me what wonderful success they had
with iodyne, but that is expensive,
and I mopped the heads of a hundred
and twenty-five with stock dip so

Golden Text: “My house shall be
called an house of prayer for all
people.”. Isa. 56-7.
David was not allowed to buxld
the temple, but he made a wonder
ful provision for it. He collected
materials for it from spoils of war,
from the gifts of the people, who
offered their best with a willing
heart, and out of his own personal
fortune. He turned over to Solomon
over §8,000,000 worth of gold and
more than $5,000,000 worth of silver
to go into its construction, besides
precious precious stones, brass, iron,
cut marble and wood and linen in
abundance. He gave Solomon the
exact plans which were to be fol
lowed, which had been given him by
the spirit.
Solomon enlisted the support of
Hiram. King of Tyre, an old friend
of his father, for he knew that there
were none so skillful in woodwork
as the Tyrians, and no cedars or fjrs
like those of Lebanon. Solomon made
a levy out of the men of Israel, 30,-
000, one-third of whom spent one
month in the forest and two months
at home working until the building
was completed. He also had 70,000
burden bearers and 80,000 bearers of
wood and stone, and these all were
under the direction of 36,000 over
seers. It too khim four years to get
the work organized and seven years
to build the house.
Tixo Building
It must have been a wonderrux
sight when it was completed. Sol
omon had selected the hill in Jeru
salem as the building site, on which
years before Abram had offered up
his only son, Isaac. It had also been
the threshing floor of Arannah which
David had purchased for this pur
pose. Between Moriah and Zion was
the polan valley which Solomon built
up with arches that remain to this
day, one of the wonders of the world,
thus making a level space on the
tops of the two mountains. There
are huge blocks of granite now 30
feet long and 10 feet high that Sol
omon’s builders put into this struc
ture.
The temple was twice as large
as the tabernacle in all of. it’s di
mensions, but the same plan was
followed. Since five is the number
mensions were all factors of five,
of grace it is notable that the <U-
The outside walls were 60 cubits
long by 20 cubits wide by 20 cubits
high. The Holy - of Holies was a per
fect cube 20x20x20. It had fifty
shekels of gold nails in it; it’s walls
were lined with 600 shekles of gold.
The brazen alter was 20x20x10. The
sea (or laver) was 10 cubits in di
ameter, 5 cubits deep and 30 cubitsi
in circumference. It contained 3,000
laths, and was decorated with bleis
all around and 400 pomegranates sus
pended from chains. There were ten
smaller lavers on wheels, for con
venience. There were ten candle
sticks all of gold; and ten tables of
showbread, and 100 basins. There
were five vessels used at each alter
—at the brazen alter. pots, and
shovels and basins, and spbons and
censers, and there were five im-
Dodients in the incense to be burned.
The cherubims each had two wings,
each, five feet wide, so it was all of
grace as the number five as a factor
m each signifying. (The Gematria of
Hebrews 9, which describes it, is
also a multiple of 5.)
The arrangement was also signifi
cant; there was only one door, and
just inside that was the brazen altar
on which the animals were sacrificed.
Beyond that was the sea or laver in
which the priests bathed after the
sacrifices. Then there were the ta
bles of shewbread on which were
twelve loaves of bread—every tribe,
small and large, had the same stand
ing before God—and opposite them
the golden candlesticks, seven branch
ed, that furnished light for the holy
place. Beyond this and standing
just before the veil was the golden
altar of incense, where the priests of
fered up before God the prayers of
the people. The veil separated the
holy place from the sanctuary, where
the ark of God was, that beautiful
golden box containing now, only the
tables of the law, and above the ark
the mercy seat beneath the golden
cherubim where God was most mani
fest. The veil was of fine linen,*
richly embroidered and made of blue
(the heavenly color) purple the
(royal color) i and scarlet (the earthly
color) each typifying some phase of
the person of Jesus the Christ.
So note the steps that were neces
sary in approaching God—first
through the only door, then the blood
sacrifice, then purification, then food
and fellowship and light, then wor
ship—there was no other order, no
other way to approach God. Each
of these typified the Jehus Christ,
for he is the only door; it is only
through his blood that we can be
prepared to come into God’s presence;
it is by His spirit we are purified;
don’t care to go with him at all. How
can I tell him I don’t want him to
go without hurting his feelings? He
is nineteen years old; has my ring
and I asked him for it and he wouldn’t
give it to me. Would you write and
ask him to send it, since he fell out
with me for nothing? I hope to see
this in print. Excuse this long let
ter. I have written to you before
but I guess it went in the waste
basket. Thank you for your advice.
Yours, trouble hearted.

I do not think your friend
acted in a gentlemanly manner
to treat you so indifferently
without any apparent cause. It
is always the woman’s place to
speak first. And if you failed to
do this, it is your fault. But I
reallyk think the young man is
trying to “rush” the other girl.
He has grown a wee bit tired of
you. Let him alone, and let the
other young man call. That is
a good way to cure No. 1 of his
i.-.difference if he cares anything
at all for you.
strong that it made my hands with
er like wet paper. I’ve only had the
one experience with sore head, and'
shall try to keep It off this year.
Roup is very similar and it is well
to watch the heads of your young
sters, they may look swelled, If so
make a deep purple of the per
manganate in a cup of water and
dip the head in; let it stay until the
bubbles show that the water has
been taken in and breathed out. Give
a lump of carbolated vaseline as
large as will stay on the teaspoon,
and, most important of all, make
them roost where it is dry.
Lice may be bad right now. Get
a pound of sodium floride and hold--
the fowl over a newspaper, rub' a
pinch in the fluff, in the wihgs and
around the head. Hold the fowl by
the legs, head hanging down, and sift*-
it well in the feathers. Licine is,
good and so is carbolized vaseline-
I used one of the medicated nest
eggs and forgot to take it out aftet
two hours. It made my hen very.,
sick, so I am not using them any
more Clean up, paint your roost-'
poles with coal oil and saturate your'
floors with coal oil and stock dip.
Don’t expect to succeed where there,
is dampness, mites or lice. Raise
chickens from purebred stock, it’
takes no more feed and pays better
in the end.
If you have pretty nice hens, get
a purebred cockerel now and have’
no other sort than the one your,
hens came from. Mixed pickles are
nice but mixed breeds are awful.
If you have Barred Rocke get a?
cockerel of that sort. I never ad--
vise any one to sell out and get my
sort. The sort you like, if one of'
the standard breeds, is the sort to
keep. There is a superstition that*
fall pullets lay in the spring, but
that spring pullets will not lay until,
next spring. I’ve had January chicks’
to lay in May, but I prefer for them
to wait until October. Then you will
have eggs all winter. Plant your rye,
this month. It will pay well in
growth and eggs. Rape is fine for
pigs and chickens. It'-is well to have
some in the garden, you can throve
it over to the penned flock.
He is the bread of God that feeds’
us and the sight that lighteth the
way; He ever liveth to make inter-’
cession for us, and since the veil
was rent from top to bottom when..
He died on the cross, it is through.
Him that we have access into the
very presence of God, for He is the.
mercy seat where God meets with us,
and communes with us and God can
do this only because He has kept,'
the law perfectly and therefore can
be just and yet the justifier of them
that believe in Jesus. And now that
wonderful building is completed;,
what a wonderfully beautiful struc
ture it must have been with its mar
ble, its- golden walls, its decorations
of flowers and pomegranatis and glis
tening stones.
The Dedication S
Solomon gathered the- people front
all Israel, and brought the ark in a,
proper way from the tent to the tem
ple. Where the priests placed it un
der the cherubim in the Holy of 1
Holies. They took the staves out of
the rings—they had never been out
before —as a sign that it had found
its permanent resting place; and the
cloud filled the place so that they
could not remain in it; the glory of
God’s presence was too brilliant for
them.
Solomon then said, “The Lord hath,
said He would dwell in the thick
darkness. I have surely built thee
an house- to dwell in. a settled place
for thee to abide in forever.”
Then He turned about, facing the
people (all of them stood) and said,.
“Blessed be the Lord, God of Israel,
and,” etc., reciting a brief history
of God’s choice of them, and of His
dealings with them in the past.
Then turning about- with face to
ward the Ark, he kneeled and spread
out his hands to heaven and prayed
that deicatory prayer (read it). rec-L
ognizing God’s character and, there
fore, making seven petitions. <■
Rising he faced the people again,
and blessed them; and then made a,
great sacrifice and feast which last
ed fourteen days, and so the wonder
ful house was dedicated.
The Great Temple
This temple lasted about 400 years,
and was completely destroyed by
Nebuchadnezzar. After the seventh'
years’ captivity it was rebuilt by
Zerubbabel, and later compled by,
Herod. That was destroyed by Titus.’
Another shall be built, Ezekiel haff
given us a description, when th®
Jews get back to Jerusalem. It may
be begun very soon now.
But a greater and more splendid,
temple than any one of these God.
has planned and built. It is your
body which has been built by the
Holy Spirit. God deigned to come
down and dwell in Solomon’s temple,
though the heaven of heavens could
not contain Him; and He desires a’
dwelling place in your heart and
mine. Marvel of marvels, “That.
Christ may dwell in your hearts,”
prd-yed Paul. “Christ liveth in me,”
he said. And Jesus Christ is even
now knocking at the door Os youi’
heart waiting to come in and abide.
Our part is to willingly offer Him
the place. His part is to set it apart
for Himself as His dwelling place.-
He will cleanse it; He will purify it;
Fie will give the Bread of Light for
food and fellowship and guidance,;
and He in us will offer up prayers
and sacrifices that God will accept.
Tap! Tap! Tap! Will you open
the door for Jesus?
