EARNEsTNESS IN SEARcIIING FOR TRUTH
Again, my subject teaches me what is
earuestness in the search Of truth. Do YOU
know where Sheba WIS? It was in Abvs-
sinia, or some say iRs ,southern part of
Arabia Felix In eith Tease It was great
way off from Jerusalem. To go from there
to Jerusalem she had to cross a country in |
Tested with bandits and go across blister |
ing deserts. Why did not the Queen of 1
Sheba stay at home and send a committee ,
to inquire about this new religion and |
have the delegates report in regard to /
that religion and wealth of King Solo

and she wanted a robe richer than any
woven by oriental shuttles, and she wanted
crown set with the jewels Of eternity
