solomon spoke these words for

Coming from such a source there
are two reasons why these words

tnspired by God; and second, because
Of tho character OF the man who utter
Cd them. No man can 80 truthfully
describe the horrors OF battle, the
bloody field and the cries of the dying
and wounded as the man who has
passed. through the experience OF a
battle. Again, no one can more i'm
press the traveller with tho need of pro.
Visions for life and faithful guide to
lend him sefely over the dangerous
heights of the iee-hemmed Alps than
the one who has suffered the pangs OF
hunger and the horrors OF death who II
, lost amid the dangerous paths of those
lonely heights.

testimony OF nli that experience Ia the

our text, and when wo consider the
character OF the man who uttered
$ them we will be constrained to shy:

tHtion than Solomon, who passed

In Ecclesiastics we follow him in his
