Sabbath School
Lesson
For September 19
BY DB. MARION MH. HULL
Note: Instead of the regular
temperance lesson for today, I
'■ shall present for our study one
of the most beautiful and fasci
nating parts of the Bible—the
song of Solomon—for two rea
sons; first, because it is most ap
propriate just now in connection
with our last week’s study of
Solomon’s glory, and, second, be
cause it is little understood and
so misunderstood, and yet
withal so deeply spiritual and im
portant.
There are a few things that must
be known at the outset of our study
of this wonderful bit of literature.
1. It is a drama. A drama must
necessarily have characters, a story
that is worked out, stage setting and
Climax. All of these this bit of
Verse has. We shall deal with these
directly. 2. It is an Oriental poem,
and, therefore, in reading it we must
recognize the difference between
Oriental and Occidental thought, and
also poetic license. For example,
When .Solomon compares the heroine,
nose to the tower of Lebanon—a
westerner would not appreciate that
as a compliment, for at once it would
appeal to him as a nose so big as to
be ridiculous, but the Oriental idea
is of a different kind. As the tower
is in the center of the landscape
and gives direction so the nose is the
center of the face, and in fine propor
tion.
Again when the Schulamite girl
Bays: "My beloved is unto me as a
bundle of myrrh that lieth between
my breasts,” your -western sense of
propriety may be shocked; but the
Oriental idea is beautiful and pure.
When a young man became engaged
to a young lady he gave her not a
diamond ring to wear on her finger,
but a bunch of myrrh to wear on a
necklace around her neck, so that she
might be constantly reminded of him
by the fragrant odor that reached
her nostrils continuously.
3. We must keep in mind who is
■peaking in order to understand the
thought. The Shulamite girl always,
■peaks of her shepherd lover as "my
beloved;” Solomon addresses her ‘‘as
my love.” There is the simplicity
of the country girl in her language;
'there is the coarseness of the city
sovereign in his.
4. We must appreciate Solomon’s
motive. Here he is trying to induce
a beautiful country girl to become
bis wife, and she is declining be
cause she is already engaged to her
shepherd lover in northern Gibilee.
Why did Solomon want another wife
When he already had so many? Let
us state at the outset that it -was
not lust. When Solomon became
king he had a great task before him.
The ten tribes had been seven years
before they had acknowledged al
legiance to David, and while there
was an apparent union of all the
tribes, it was a very loose union,
which was liable to break at any
time (and which did, in fact, break
just after Solomon’s death) Solomon
realized this and asked for wisdom
to know how to decide and to gov
ern this great people. There were
two plans that he might have adopt
ed; one was war, foreign invasion.
This -would have united the nation in
a common purpose, as it would if
they had been invaded by an
enemy. The other was a common
purpose in peace—that one Solo
mon chose. He set before his people
the building of a nation on such a
magnificent scale that it would re
quire all of them and all of their re
sources. This accounts for the
twenty years in building of the tem-

pie and his palace and the other
buildings, operations of which we
have learned. He did everything to
make his court the most magnificent
the world had ever known, and in
spired his people w r ith this idea, so
!as to bind them together with a
| common purpose, hoping to make
that kingdom permanent. One of the
Incidents in this plan was his court
alliances. He married 700 wives who
were princesses, thus binding to his
kingdom 700 tribal kings and embrac
ing the glory of his court by 700
beautiful women. Wherever he found
a princess or a beautiful woman that
would help make his court more
magnificent by her presence he mar
ried her —if he could. The Shulamite
girl was one at least who wouldn’t
(there may have been another but
lesser reason for his multiple mar
riages. Gdd had promised that the
throne of David should be establish
ed forever, and Soloman may have
determined that the blood of David
should flow in the veins of so many
nations with whom he could make
alliances). This little drama is God’s
disapproval of Solomon’s plans.
The Drama
The characters in the drama are
Solomon a beautiful Shulamite girl,
her shepherd lover, court ladies,
courtiers, citizens and country peo
ple. The drama is in five acts with
various scenes. These and the story
will be seen as we now study it.
Act 1. Scene 1. (Chi. 2-8). The cur
tain rises and before us is the tent
of court ladies who have accompanied
Solomon up to one of his hunting
lodges in northern Galilee, about
which reference was made last week.
With this is a Shulamite girl, in plain
and simple country dress, but a per
fect beauty. She has been kidnaped
by the party, as they found her danc
ing in a shady nook in the woods;
they discovered her while they were
out hunting. In dialogue they are
telling her of the wonders of Solo
mon’s court and trying to induce her
to become a member of It. ‘‘Let him
kiss me, etc.,” they sing autiphonally,
one leading and the others respond
ing in chorus. But her reply is that
she is not fit to become a member of
the court, she is sunburned ‘‘black as
the tents of Kedar,” she says; but
they respond, ‘‘but comely as the
curtains of Solomon.” And then she
thinks of her shepherd lover to whom
she is engaged and cries out for him,
‘‘Tell me, O thou whom my soul
lovest, etc.,” and the court ladies, dis
gusted at her refusal, reply sneering
ly, ‘‘lf thou know not, O thou fair
est among women, go thy way,”
etc., to where shepherds are found
among sheep.
Scene 2. (Ch. l:4-2-7). Then the
scene changes; she has been brought
in Solomon’s tent. Everything evi
dences royalty and wealth. And Solo
mon courts her, telling her how beau
tiful she is and promising her the
costliest jewels to adorn her person
when she becomes his wife.
But notice her reply and refusal.
The temptation was very great to a
poor and a beautiful girl; but she
resists it. ‘‘While the king sitteth at
his table,” she says, “my thoughts
are only of my beloved, for the bag
of perfume that he has given me
as an engagement present hangs
about my neck and constantly re
minds me of him. Much obliged,” she
says, “but I am already engaged to
one who is all I desire.”
Yet Solomon persists. “Thou art
fair, my love,” he says. But she re
plies, “Behold, my beloved is fair
and pleasant and our meeting place
in the woods is green.” Solomon re
plies, “Our house is a gorgeous pal
ace; and is yours for the taking.” “1
am but a rose of Sharon, the lily of
the valleys, a modest flower, not fit
for the king’s palace.” Solomon gal
lantly answers, “As a lily among
thorns, so is my love among women.”
Then her spunk is up. “As the apple
tree among the trees of the wood, so
is my beloved among men.” And then
she has gotten started, she can’t stop
talking about her beloved, so dead in
love with him is she. “I sat down un
der his shadow with great delight,
etc.;” “stay me with such flagons, for
I am love sick.” And turning to the
court ladies who had tried to make
her fall in love with Solomon, she
charges: “I charge you, O ye daugh
ters of Jerusalem, by the roses and
the hinds of the field that you stir
not up nor awake love till he
Please.”
Act 2. Scene 1. (Ch. 2:8-17). Rem
iniscences. Left to herself for a few
minutes, she thinks she hears the
voice of her beloved. And then there
courses through her mind the last
visit he made and the events of it.
She remembers what he said to her
and even the little snatch of a pop
ular song of the day that he sang—
“ Take us the foxes, etc.”—and with
a sigh that expressed her supreme Joy
in the . mutual ownership she says,
“My beloved is mine and I am his;
he feedeth among the lilies. Until
the day break and the shadow’s flee
away, turn, my beloved, and be like
a young roe upon the mountains of
Betha.” Scene 2. (Ch. 3:1-5). She
falls asleep— dreams about hei
shepherd lover; and when she awakes
and finds it all a dream, she turns
to the court ladies, who are among
her, marveling at her beauty, and says
again, "I charge you, O ye daughters
of Jerusalem, that y« do not try to
make anybody fall in love until it
please.” In other words, love is too
sacred a thing to be awakened at
will.
Scene 3 (Ch. 3; 6-11): The scene
has changed and King Solomon is
returning to Jerusalem in royal
state. He is so sure that the beauti
ful Shulamite girl will finally yiela
to his entreaties that he is actual
ly coming in a marriage procession.
As the procession approaches one
citizen after another strains his
eyes and speaks: “Who is this
that cometh, etc?” “Behold his bed,
it’s Solomon’s;” “They all hold
swords,” etc., etc., until the proces
sion is out of sight.
Act 3, Scene 1, (Ch. 4: 1-7): They
are now in the palace in Jerusalem
Solomon courts the Shulamite girl
the second time, calling attention to
her beauty, as if that would win her
—but she interrupts and refuses him
again, saying, “Until the day breaks
and the shadows flee away I will get
me to the mountains of myrrh and
to the hill of frankincense”—for
that was where her beloved was and
her thoughts.
Scene 2, (Ch. 5: 8-5-1): Left to her
self and her thoughts she reverts
again to an interview with her be
loved. She recalls the very words he
said and sighs that they might be
realized. “Awake, O North wind, and
come thou South; blow upon njy gar
den. Let my beloved come into this
garden and eat his pleasant fruit.”
Scene 3, (Ch. 5: 2-6: 3): She arops
asleep again and dreams of her be
loved. She dreams that she escapes
and is roughly treated by the watch
men of the city—and waked again to
find it a dream, with the court ladies
about her again, and again she
charges them not to make her love
Solomon. She must have been talk
ing in her sleep about him for the
court ladies have had their curiositv
aroused, “What, i s thy beloved more
than any other beloved?” they ask.
that sets her tongue awagging.
‘‘The chiefest among ten thousand,
altogether lovely, curly headed,
keen-eyed, magnificent physique,
etc., she raves over him. Oh, how
dead in love is she with that Shep
herd boy. “My!” they say, “we would
like to see that fellow, where is he?”
“My beloved has gone down to the
garden of spices. I am my beloved’s
and he is mine.
Act 4, Scene 1. (Ch. 6: 4-7-10):
Solomon woos her the third time, and
incidentally tells her how she was
see n a t Mahanaian and kidnaped. He
flatters her until she can stand iv
no longer, fop she has no thoughts
of any but her shepherd lover.
Finally Solomon says, “the smell of
tuy nose is like apples and the roof
of thy mouth like the best wine”—
‘For my beloved,” she stamps her
foot and says. “I am my beloved’s
and his desire is toward me.”
Scene 2: (Ch. 7:11-13): Just as
she says this i n bursts her shepherd
lover. He has been a regular Pink
erton detective and traced he r all
the way to the palace, and now
bursts in the room and folds her in
"’j, ar ms. Solomon very graciously
retires.
Scene 3, (Ch. 8): Gives us a
description of the marriage and the
bride s prayer, their return t’o their
northern Galilee home and the re
marks of the country people. And
the curtain falls as the loving cou
ple make haste to the home of tn»
shepherd lover’s on the mountain
of spices.
This story whicn has no mention
of God in the whole of it, yet was
inspired by God to set the seal of
his approval upon the pure love of
one man and one woman. And it was
greatly needed to offset the polyga
mous influences of Solomon’s manv
alliances.
There’s a wonderful lesson in it
for you and me. That Shulamite
was so much in love with her shep
herd lover that no temptation with
the big King Solomon could attract
her from him for one moment. And
when these temptations came she al
ways resisted them by saying, “I am
my beloved’s and he is mine.” The
aevil can be driven away from you
too, if you will just say to him “I
belong to Jesus Christ and He be
longs to me.”
And then she loved him so that
she talked about him on all ocasions,
‘ c *he dreamed of him by day and by
night so much so that she made the
court ladies want to know him, too
Are you as dead in love with Jesus
Christ as chat? Ah, that He may
pe to you the chiefest among ten
thousands and altogether lovely.

COTTON
NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—An opening ad
vance of 20 to 34 points on higher Liver
pool cables and more optimistic reports of
the British labor situation met consider
able selling in the cotton market early
today owing to the continued good weather
and reports that spots were offered on a
tenderable basis at some points in the in
terior. After selling at 28.25 October eased
off to 28.00 and December sold down from
25.85 to 25.72, but the market soon rallied
agai non a private crop report making the
condition 50.7, against 68.2 at the end of
August. Liverpool cables said the market
there had been influenced by the decline in
sterling.
The early advance carried the market up
to 28.4Gc for October and- 26.10 c for De
cember, or about 58 to 08 points net higher
on the activt positions. This met increased
offerings, which seemed to be partly in
spired by reiterated reports that the British
government was preparing to break a strike
of coal miners should it be declared. There
was also some selling on the weekly report
of the weather bureau, which proved less
unfavorable than expected, and a good part
of the early advance was lost, active months
ruling some 18 to 24 points higher shortly
after midday.
Reports that representatives of eotton
growers had been unable to secure any as
surance of special banking accommodations
for withholding cotton frorft the market led
to some selling during the afternoon. De
cember eased off to 25.58 or within 6 points
o flast night’s closing.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 15.—A much better
Liverpool than due and private cablegrams
from that market stating that the outlook
for settling the coal strike was better
caused a strongly higher cotton market on
the opening here today. During the first
hour of business prices rose 39 to 59 points
in the face of extremely favorable weather
in the belt. October advanced to 26.75
and March to 23.44.
At the highest of the morning prices weie
44 to 59 points up. The weekly crop re
ports from the government were better than
expected, hardly indicating the deteriora
tion looked for, although they had their
bad spots, and prices eased off following
their reading. Toward noon October was
down to 26.37 c and the list was 5 to 25
points higher than the close of yesterday.
The report that the federal reserve board
had refused any special aid to eotton grow
ers, but had recommended that the growers
make use of the banking facilities at hand
in the south, sent the market to its lowest
levels. Toward the close prices were 6to 18
points under tlie close of yesterday, witli
October trading at 26.16 c.

M’SWINEY ASKS
TO BE GAGGED
WHILE DELIRIOUS
LONDON, Sept. 15.—Terence Mac-
Swiney, hunger-striking- lord mayor
of Cork, was in a raving delirium
during a great part of last night,
his sister, Annie, declared today as
she left Brixton prison after visit
ing him.
Imagining that he was leading a
Sinn Fein army, MacSwiney talked
wildly and shouted commands, his
sister said. This morning, realizing
that he might betray Sinn Fein
secrets while raving, MacSwiney ask
ed his relatives to forcibly gag him
if he became delirious while iirison
doctors were present.
MacSwiney suffered severe pains
across his shoulders this morning.
His sister said his mind seemed
duller than heretofore.
Physicians said death at any time
now would be no surprise. They
pointed out that his body had weak
ened long ago, but that until today
MacSwiney’s mind had been clear
His delirium and his apathy today
indicated complete breakdown was
near, it is said.
The latest bulletin issued from
Sinn Fein headquarters today said
the condition of Terence MacSwiney.
lord mayor of Cork, remained un
changed.
Physicians were puzzled over Mac-
Swiney’s grip on life. Although
practically in a comatose condition,
the hunger-striking prisoner was con
scious. He talked with his wife yes
terday, whispering to her his desires
as to funeral rites. He asked her
to arrange for simple Catholic serv
ices with the funeral orations all in
the Irish tongue.
Despite MacSwiney’s request, Sinn
Fein leaders said they planned to
