belonging to Mr.. Diffin, a dealer id stock

says: zone way or the other ! have

DIR. TaImage Gives Some Glowing Pict-

ty-The Wisdom and Practical Work
of Solomon.
BROOKLYN, Nov. DIR. Talmage
preached the sixth sermon on his tour
in Palestine today After a pastorate
of twenty-five years in this city it is as
tonishing to see the crowds of people
who throng the Academy of Music ev
cry Sunday morning to listen to his
discourses. No less remarkable are the
audiences that New York city furnishes
at The Christian Herald services every
Sunday night. Today's sermon was on
the gardens and public works of Israel's
magnificent King, and the text Eccles.
ii, 4-6: II made me great works, |
builded me houses, 1 planted me vine
yards, l made me gardens and Or
chards, and planted trees in them of
all kinds of fruits; l made Inc pools of
water to water Herewith the wood that
bringeth forth trees" DIR. Talmage
said:
A spring morning and before break
fast at Jerusalem. A king with robes
snowy white in chariot decked with
gold, drawn by eight horses, high met
tied and housings as brilliant as if
scolloped out of that very sunrise, and
like the winds for speed, followed by a
regiment of archers on horseback with
hand on gilded bow, and arrows with
steel points flashing in the sun, clad
from head to foot in Tyrian purple,
and black hair sprinkled with gold
| dust, all dashing down the road, the
horses at full run, the reins loose on
their necks, and the crack of whips, and
the halloo of the reckless cavalcade
putting the miles at defiance. Who is
it, and what is it2 King Solomon TAX
ing an outing before breakfast from
Jerusalem to his gardens and parks
and orchards and reservoirs, six miles
down the road toward Hebron.
What a contrast between that and
myself on that very road one morning
last December, going afoot, for our
| plain vehicle turned back for photo
graphic apparatus forgotten, we on the
way to find what is called Solomons
pools, the ancient water works of Jeru-
salem, and the gardens of king nearly
| three thousand years agol We cross
the aqueduct again and again, and here
we are at the three great reservoirs
not ruins of reservoirs, but the reser-
vOirs themselves-that Solomon built
three millennfums ago for the purpose
of catching the mountain streams and
passing them to Jerusalem to Stake the
thirst of the city, and also to irrigate
the most glorious range of gardens that
ever bloomed with all colors or breathed
with all redOlence, for Solomon was the
greatest hOrticulturist, the greatest bot
anist, the greatest ornithologist, the
greatest capitalist and the greatest sci
enlist of his century.
THE HALF WAS NOT TOLD ME-"
Come over the piles of gray rock and
here we are at the first of the three
reservoirs, which are on three great
levels, the base of the top reservoir
higher than the top of the second, the
base of the second reservoir higher than
the top of the third, so arranged that
the waters gathered from several
sources above shall descend from basin
to basin, the sediment of the water de-
posted in each of the three, so that by
