temple.
While the timbers for the temple were
according to the league with Hiram
brought from Lebanon, the stones which
entered into the construction of the tenn
pie were, according to recent testimony
quarried at great depth under Jerusa
lem. The old quarries were entered in
1852, near the Damascus gate. Under
more than hundred feet OF rubble OF
debris. in q cavern where blocks of gran
lite must in far-off ages have been taker
out, were found fragments of Tyriar
pottery and one complete Phenician jar
declared by the arch@ ologists to belong
to the Solomonic period, and declared
by the explorers to be proof that the
quarrymen Of Hiram here found and
prepared the immense stones OF the
temple. Scholars who have investigated
these quarries with their remnants Of
Tyrian pottery, believe that they have
discovered a remarkable external con-
firmation of the Bible story of the build
ing of the temple.
The temple was not notable for size.
1t was twice the dimensions of the taber-
nacle; the superficial extent being there.
four four times as great; yet the length
was but ninety feet; the breadth thirty
feet; the height forty five feet. The
marvel of the temple was in it's columns
cornices. its decorations Of gold and
precious stones, its exquisite carvings.
Its foundation on the east, wall of i'm
mense stones which remains to this dey
was one OF it's mRrvels.
"If the dimensions of the temple"
says Milman, appear by no means i'm.
posing, is must be remembered that but
small part of the religious ceremonies
took place within the walls. The Holy
of Holes was entered but once year,
and that by the high priest alone. The
Holy Place, the body of the temple, adj
mitted only the officiating priests. The
courts, called in popular language the
temple. or rather the inner quadrangle,
were in fact the great place of divine
worship. Here, under the open air, were
celebrated the great public and national
rites, the professions, the offerings, the
sacrifices. Here stood the great tank
for ablution, the high altar for burnt
offering. The costliness of the mater
ills. the richness and variety of the de
tails, amply compensated for the moder-
ate dimensions of the building. 1t was
such sacred edifce as traveller might
expect to find in Ell Dorado"
The sacredness with which Solomon
and his workmen regarded the edifice is
indicated by the familiar historic fact

TEACHING POINTS.

INTRoDUCTIoN,-Israel is rising out of no.
madism into the civilization which expresses
itself In architecture. Under the lead of DAVID
and Solomon the nation Is consecrated t. the
erection of building which will be at once Its
Capitol and its Church; 1t Is not to Israels dis
credit that 1t builds with all the skill and at all
the cost within its power.--Whiie there may
be abuse in architecture, and waste that means
oppression to the people, there is nevertheless
use In it which no real utilitai ianism can des-
pise.
~ v. l-6. Solomon asks for Hirams
Aid. tits not unpleasant to think of Phenicia
and Israel being peaceful neighboss for CEN
fury or more; it would have been well if they
had always maintained a spirit of amlty toward
each other.-Solomon solicits aid of Hiram,
an ldolator. in building temple to the one God.
This signifies at least freedom from bigotry en-
the part of Israels king,
(2.) ". 10. Hiram grants his Aid. The
idOatOr finds 1t for his advantage to become
co-wOrker with Solomon on the te nrle which
David had desired.--SolOmon coveted pagan
skill in art and architecture. Real architecture
and real art under whatever name, have a re-
ligious MISSION Solomon proposed to build
grandly; he made great plans; and Hiram was
made. by an appeal to his self-interest, an Of
fective helper.
49, v, 1919. The Temple is built.
The cost of the temple to the nation of Israel
was immense; yet it was not so great, either in
money or life, as would be required to maintain
such war as had heretofore been a chronic
burden on the people.-The temple is not, by
the modern standard great; but its significance
to Israel. and its suggestions and lessons for us,
can scarcely be over-estimated. ALI civilized
nations express themselves in architecture.
Every soul, In certain real sense, builds man.

We ARE often told that. there is n
silver country that uses any gold along

and $4,000. 900 ven OF paper money
nominally redeemable in silver, under
free coinage at the ratio of about sixteen
to one, the government having adopted
the policy OF going into the market and
purchasing bullion of the metal which a
deficiency is offered at the mint for Chi
cago, in order to keep the quantity of
gold and silver coin as near equal as
possible. What Is the result? The

IT IS astonishing Whit wild ideas on
the financial question gain Judgement in
the minds OF some at the advocates oil
the 16 to 1 policy. A farmer Of more
than average intelligence maintained
upon the streets the other day, that in
case Mckinley were elected every dollar
other than gold would forthwith he
come worthless-that every man who
had silver or paper money in hrs posses
sion would find it absolutely valuelcss.
And without doubt the man actusllv
believed it. Nothing could be further
from the truth. 1t is fact BEYOND
question that under free silver policy
every dollar other than gold and gold
certificates, would shrink to the bullion
value OF silver in the silver dollar, or
nearly one half. For the paper would
be redeemabIe in silver, and the thing to
be redeemed would not and could not
have greater value than the thing in
which it is redeemable.

Il STRONG ARGUMENT.

On the second page ofthis paper will
be founo an admirble paper on the mon
ey question written by M. Hogan of this
city. and by him read at recent meeting
OF the sound money club. In it he lays
down the incontrovertible principles
winch underly stability in money, It's
uses and its value. Resting upon their
basic principles, which appeal alike TO
common sense and universal experience
as attested by history, the money issue
loses much ofthat mysticism with which
unjustifed and unjusti6able speculation
has clothed it. Read .hearticle carefully.
