MUTT AND JEFF— IN A CASE LIKE THIS JEFF WOULD PREFER SCRAMBLING UNDER A BED. BY BUD FISHER 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- ‘ Special Dixie Leaded Here’s a wonderful Combination Subscription Offer that will guarantee GOOD READING for ALL THE FAMILY the WHOLE YEAR at EXTREMELY LOW COST.

C. r.3h<fl 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. Rome’s First Bale Brings 49 I-2 Cents ROMP), Ga., Sept. 4.—Bart Ter hune sold the first bale of cotton in for the 1920 season Saturday tor the record price of 49 1-2 cents a P.°H nc L The cotton was graded as midcling and the staple was 11.16 inches.

Passes Its Dividend CHICAGO, Sept. 14.—The Cudahy Packing company passed its dividend today. Officials said it was the first time since the reorganization of the company that a dividend had been passed. In a letter to the stock exchange the company announced its decision to pass the quarterly dividend on the common stock, which otherwise would have been payable October 5. 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 YORK COTTON The following were the ruling prices in tir exchange today: Tone easy; middling, 31c, quiet. Last Prev.

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.

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.

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.

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.
