SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
BY DR. MARION McH. HULL
For March 23, 1924 —The Reign of Solomon —
1 Kings 3-11; 2 Chron, 1.
Golden Text: “The fear of Jeho
vah is file beginning of kniowledgc.”
—Prov. 1:7.
David's latter years were very
calm; on the'Other hand, tqjj’ were
made hard for the aged Jctag by
strife and intrigue. Absalom had
rebelled againist him and had been
slain. His oldest living son, Adoni
jah, realized that his father was
physically unable to reign any lon
ger and decided to take the situation
in hand while he could,- and have
himself proclaimed king and suc
cessor. In this he was abetted by
some of David’s most trusted coun
-sellors—Joab, the commanding gen
eral, and Abiathar, the priest. Zadok,
the high priest, and Nathan, the
prophet, and Shintei and Rei and
David’s mighty men were nothin the
plot, however, and disapproved of it.
By an adroit move, Nathan had
Bathshebam, the beautiful wife of
David, and who had formerly been
the wife of Uriah, to come to the
old king and make him confirm a
promise that he had once made her
that her son, Solomon, should be his
successor. Now, Solomon was only
a youth of nineteen years; but the
exigencies of the case were such
that it seemed wise to have him
anointed before the old king died,
J-Prl at once, since Adonijah was al
ready celebrating a feast and pro
claiming himself king.
The ceremony was interesting.
The young man was dressed in royal
robes and made to ride through the
streets of Jerusalem on King David’s
mule. After being anointed at Gi
hon, the trumpet was blown and a
shout, “Long live King Solomon!”
Then he was brought back to the
palace and seated beside his father,
David, on the throne.
It succeeded. All the people re
joiced with great joy, so that the
earth rent with the sound of them.
Adonijah realized that he had been
outwitted and accepted the situation
with grace. Although ordinarily in
those days he would have been slain
to make sure that no trouble would
come from that quarter in the fu
ture-—and as guilty of treason he
merited death—Solomon was mag
nanimous enough to spare his life,
until he foolishly induced Bathsheba
to ask her son the favor of giving
him Abishag, the beautiful Shunna
mite who had ministered to the old
king in his last days. Then it be
came necessary for him to be gotten
rid of; and that meant death in those
days.
Being established on the throne.
Solomon's first step was significant.
He went up to Gibeon where the
brazen altar was at that, time and
offered on it a burnt offering, thus
signifying his own sin, his need of
atoning blood, his recognition of
his relationship to God, and his
dedication of himself wholly to Him.
In that night—notice that—God
appeared to Solomon and said, “Ask
what I shall give thee.” God loves
to give. But He cannot give to those
w l>° do not recognize His rights.
In the same night that Solomon
recognized God, God appeared to
him with this wonderful offer.
As a man thinketh jn his heart,
so is he. What would you ask if
you were given such liberty as
Solomon? Your request would re
veal your character. What you are
would determine what you would
ask. Stop just here and think this
out, and put yourself to this test.
Ar e you the person j»ou thought
you were? Would yuo like other
folks to know what kind of a per
son you are?
Listen! You are being tested that
way ever-- day. God has given you
just such liberty as He did Solo
mon. “Whatsoever ye shall ask in
my name, that will I do,” said
Jesus. What are you asking for?
What are your prayers? Are they
utterly selfish? Are they for tem
poral and physical blessings large
ly? Are you asking for that which
shall bring the King back?
Notice Solomon's answer. “Thou
hast showed . . . Thou hast
made me king . . . give me wis
dom to judge Thy people.” Thou,
Thou, Thy!
Solomon recognized his responsi
bility to the great God and the pe
culiar relationship this people bore
to Him. He recognized also his ut
ter inadequacy to the task. This in
volved his faith in the covenants
made by God with this people
through Abraham and David. He
might have felt capable of ruling an
ordinary people, but to lead a peo
ple with such a future and who
were to be God's instruments in de
veloping a plan which would affect
the -whole world and for eternity
was a task too great, for this nine
teen-year-old king. He did not ask
tor money nor for political prosper
like, but for wisdom to go out and
BShie in before this “Thy” people.
God gave him what .he ask
ed for, plus. This is always the
way God gives. He loves to give
what we ask plus. He gives good
measure, pressed down and run
ning over. He gave him the wis
dom he asked for, and in addition
wealth, and prosperity like as none
had had who had gone before him
or who came after him. Notice very
carefully the vehrbage of 2
Chron. 1:12. "Wisdom and knowl
edge is granted unto thee; and I
will give thee riches, and wealth,
and honor, such as none of the
kings have had that have, been be-

fore thee; neither shall any after
thee have the like.” This promise
God literally fulfilled—as He does
ail His promises, by the way. He
gave him wealtn, and riches, and
honor such as none of the kings
before him had had or those after
him. Notice that this part of the
promise referred only to these
things, and not to wisdom and
knowledge. God gave him the wis
dom and knowledge that Solomon
requested. He wanted to know
how to lead this Thy people—and
God gave him unusual wisdom in
doing this. You will recall that it
was more than seven years after
David became king over Judah be
fore the ten tribes yielded him
their allegiance and he became
king over all Israel. That line of
cleavage always existed. There
was every now and then cropping
out some evidence of the fact that
the nation though outwardly one
people was really composed of two
distinct elements. (The same con
dition exists in England between
the English and Irish, in Germany
between the Germans and Prus
sians, in many other lands, even in
America between the north and the
south.) David kept the people uni
ted byiconquest. The wars of con
quest demanded all the strength
the nation could command; it was
too big a job to undertake unless
all hands engaged in the work. But
when Solomon became king. David
had extended his territory so far as
it could be, he had conquered all
his enemies and the land had rest.
There were no external foes, and
all the people had to think about
was their own internal affairs, and
this sort of condition would be eas
ily productive of strife and divi
sion. No wonder Solomon shrank
as he faced such a task.
But God gave him wisdom to
lead this people and keep them
united. Instead of wars of con
quest, he set them to a task which
kept them united, a task too big
for any one. tribe or combination of
tribes. He gave them the one pur
pose, common to all, of building
th© most magnificent temple the
world had ever known. All hands
were required. He conscripted a
large force of workmen, a certain
number of whom could work a few
months, and then another section
of them would take up the task’,
while the former rested. In this
way he kept them busy seven
years. As soon as that work was
done he put them at the task of
building him a palace which occu
pied them thirteen years more. He
inspired them with the desire to
build the most magnificent and
splendid kingdom the world knew.
The idea was attractive and com
pelling, and the people forgot their
individual and tribal complaints in
their national aspirations.
In line with this Solomon made al
liances with foreign nations. It was
much easier to win an enemy’s
friendship by marrying his daughter
than by fighting his army; so Solo
mon created a great harem into
which he brought the most beautiful
women he could find, and the prin
cesses of neighboring tribes and king
doms whose friendship could be thus
guaranteed. This, rather than sen
suality. was the reason for his 700
wives and 300 concubines. In line
with this object also was his com
mercial alliances. The ships of many
nations brought all precious articles
to his land—gold of Ophir, and ivory
tusks, and silver and precious stones,
peacocks, and everything that would
make his kingdom splendid. Luxury
and splendour were the hall marks.
Now Solomon was exceedingly wise
In this thing—in ruling this nation.
But he, was most unwise in some oth
er and greater things. Because God
gave him riches and wealth and
honor such as no king before him
or after him had, he had unusual
opportunities to try out life, and he
did. If you will read carefully the
result of his experiments in the
books of wisdom, Ecclesiastes and
Proverbs, you will find that though
he tried pleasure, and learning, and
money-making, and sports, and every
other thing that men do today in
the pursuit of happiness, he said at
the end of each experiment “Vanity
of vanities, all is vanity.” His con
clusion of the whole matter was
“Fear God, and keep His command
ments; for this is the whole of man.”
Now this was most wise; he said
himself in one of his proverbs, “The
fear of Jehovah is the begining of
wisdom.” And yet—and yet—that is
.just what he did not do! He went
into the building of the temple with
a wonderful spirit. When it was
most remarkable ceremony into
most remarkable ceremony inot
which he undoubtedly entered with
all the devotion and consecration that
any man could manifest. Read the
account of it in 1 Kings 8. But he
turned away from wholly following
God in his latter years. He never
(forsook him entirely. Jehovah was
always his God; but the trouble was
he divided his affections. First the
wife who was the daughter of the
Pharoah wanted a place to worship
her heathen god; then another
heathen wife wanted one for hers,
and another and another. Then they
couldn’t see why Solomon wouldn’t
go with them occasionally; and if he
went what harm it would do if he
showed the proper respect while in
their place of worship by entering
into the ceremony—and gradually
Solomon slipped into the worship of
other gods, although he never gave
up Jehovah.
And for this, the judgment fell,
i Every man would like to provide for
I the continuance of his house, and
I particularly a king for the contin-
I uance of his dynasty. But because
* of th-is God told Solomon He would
i rend the Kingdom from him and
give it to another. For David’s sake
i He would not do it in hfs (Solomon's)
lifetime; but in his ton’s. And for
! David's sake also. He would not take
it wholly from him, but leave the
tribe of Judah in the hands of his
son. You see God had made a cove
nant with David that his son should
sit on the throne forever, and this
covenant was unconditional. No mat
ter how great their sin was the
covenant still stood. Sinning would
bring about chastening but not dis
barment or expulsion. So now Solo
mon's sin brings on chastening but
his son must have a throne for
David’s sake.
What a sad ending to a wonderful
ly promising beginning. There was
no kingdom like Solomon's; no man
| had such opportunities, but he let
> them slip because his affections were
i divided. There are not many people
! who can stand the acid test of pros-
I perity. Lots of people stand adver
I sity well; but it is one in a million
■ who can stand prosperity. God
| knows this and loves us so well that
j He doesn't lead many of us into this
temptation! One prominent worker
I once said to the writer that he had
been observing men carefully for
‘years and he feared to see any man
I get up to a certain income. When
i his incon e was below this certain
J amount he was faithful in his relig-
I ions duties and service; when the in

.noticed that the men became more
and more indifferent as his money be
came more and more his master in

** Dear Folks: To wake up with a
good thick snow covering ground,
trees and shrubs made me feel that
winter had just started instead of
spring being just around the corner-.
It occurs to me that you might
enjoy one of my recipes on one of
these chilly nights. Most of us
have a lire in the kitchen stove at
night in this weather, and it only

dish.
I am going to give you just a gen

quantity according to the size of your

Onion chopped fine and broiled in
butter, canned tomato, free from all
but small quantity of liquid. Eggs.
Add the tomato to the hot butter and
onions, let simmer until thoroughly
hot, beat up eggs together, add to
hot mixture and stir. Serve on hot
toast. Sait and pepper to taste.
Try this and let me know how you
like it. Cordially yours,

Love for Her Husband Is the Only
Thing That Makes the Sacrifice of
Marriage Worth While to the
Average Woman —So She Who
Marries Man She Loves Is
Happiest of Wives.
A CORRESPONDENT asks this
./A t question:
"Is it better for a woman to
marry the man she loves or the
man who loves her?”
Os course, the proper answer to
this query is neither, or both. Do
not marry until
you find a man
who loves you
and whom you
love. But in a
case where a
choice has to be
made between
the two, I
should unhesi
tatingly say that
it is better for
the woman to
marry the man
she loves, than
it is for her to
marry the man

will agree to this proposition. They
will say that a woman’s greatest
need is tho need of love. That with
out love she hungers, and thirsts,
and perishes, no matter what else
life gives her.
Furthermore, that it is a woman’s
prerogative to be adored and have
incense burnt before her, and that
ever since the cave man wooed his
lady love with a club and dragged
her to his home by her lovely red
hair men have been the lovers and
have done the courting.
Therefore, they hold that if, in
marriage, “one kisses and the other
submits to being kissed,” as the
French say, the man should be the
kisser and the woman the kissed.
They believe that where a woman
'has to content, herself with a half
loaf, she best secures her happiness
by taking a husband who is per
fectly crazy about her; who is in a
perpetual state of blessing Lady
Luck for having given him his
heart’s desire in a wife, and who
is content to eat. out of her hand
such scraps of affection as she con
descends to feed him.
I disagree with this theory. It is
just because love is the most im
portant thing in a woman’s life that
it is absolutely necessary for her to
have an overwhelming passlo.n for
the man she marries, if she is to
find happiness and contentment.
A man who has a vital interest in
his career, the excitement for the
struggle for power and money, the
thousand distractions of the great
world to take his mind off "his do
mestic affairs, can get along with a
wife whom he respects and who
makes him comfortable, but for
whom he entertains only a luke
warm regard.
But a woman cannot meet a situa
tion like that philosophically. Her
emotions make her life. What she
feels is of more interest to her than
what she does. She cannot substi
tute liking for loving any more than
she can water for wine. And no
matter how much she admires the
man to whom she is married, no
matter how grateful she is to him
for his kindness to her, unless he
can raise a. thrill in her breast every
litt.le piece from a school, church, store,
mill and several houses, so you see I do
not have time to get lonesome, as there arc
lots of people close to me. I will close with
lots of love to Aunt Julia and all. Your
niece and cousin,
(MISS) DAISY INGLE.
Resaca, Ga., Route 2.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: It is with
pleasure that I write you after a long ab
sence. I surely thank Aunt Julia for print
ing my other letters, for I gained several
very dear friends through the Council. I
guess most of you cousins are in school
now. I am going to school every day, and,
believe me, my patience has Just about worn
out, though I am trying to make good nnd
at the close of school receive another certif
icate. 1 received my certificate from gram
mar school last year and am reviewing this
year, so I sincerely hope that the higher
grades will be more simple next year. Now
don't you all think this a very good Idea?
We are going to have a program on Wash
ington's birthday, also n debate. The sub
ject is, “Resolved, That women have more
influence over men than money.” L. s.
Kicklighter, of Glenville, Ga., I enjoyed
your letter very much on the beauties of
nature. We recently had a debate on this
very same subject, “Resolved, That the
work of nature is more beautiful than the
art of man.” The negative side won the
debate. I will not give a description of
myself this time, but will say I have bobbed
hair and am seventeen years of age, I'm
wishing Aunt Julia nnd all the cousins much
success. Don’t forget to write to your
Georgia friend,
(MISS) NELLIE PICKELSEIMER.

thing is cinders, ashes and dust to
her.
She feels that she has missed the
best thing in life, the thing she
most wanted; and she is restless and
dissatisfied, and is forever on a still
hunt to find her real soul mate.
To the average woman, marriage
is a state of perpetual sacrifice. She
must go through the agony of bear
ing children, and the long, weary
years of ceaseless care and anxiety
in rearing them. She must work
harder than any hireling at the dull
and monotonous task of cooking and
cleaning and scrubbing and sewing
and mending that it takes to make
a comfortable home.
And the only thing on earth that
can make all of this worth while is
love for her husband. That sets a
star in her sky. That gilds the
humblest task. The woman who
stands over a stove cooking a din
ner for the husband to whom she
is utterly indifferent is a slave
driven to her appointed task by her
sense of duty. The woman who
stands over a stove cooking dinner
for a husband she adores is a priest
ess making a burnt offering of her
self on the altar of her god.
The woman who marries the man
she loves is never bored, and bore
dom is the particular curse of the
feminine sex. She throws herself
heart and soul into her husband’s
interests, and is more eager for his
success than he is himself. She is
never dull, because the smallest
thing that concerns him is of more
import to her than the events that
shake the great outer world. She
can find food for thought and scope
for her activities in the fact that her
husband likes onions with his beef
steak or prefers mushrooms. Her
days are filled with pleasurable ex
citement in preparing for his home
coming of an evening, an when she
hears his key in the latch her heart
strikes up “Hail to the King.”
The woman who marries the man
she loves is never dissatisfied, never
disgruntled. He may be a poor
thing, but he is her own, the one
she cut out of the bunch and which
she marked with her own brand.
Having got the one thing she want
ed most, she can well afford to pity
her poor sisters who have only
limousines and pearls and the
merely tolerated husbands who are
the purveyors thereof.
Os course, the woman who loves
her husband better than he does
her has her moments of acute jeal
ousy, but even these are thrilled
with pep and are better than the
dull stagnation of having a man
that you don’t take the trouble to
lock up at night because you know
you can’t lose him.
Truly, it is more blessed to give
than to receive, and it is better for
a woman to love than to be loved.
