II. "rhe Lord Dehovah be with thee"
God will be with us when we go TO him,
tive IN communion with him, and seek to
know and do his will, Every good comes
TO those who walk with God and enjoy
his favor and protection. How wonder
fully this was fulfilled will be seen in the
lessons on Solomon in the next quarter.
His great work was to build The house
of the Lord" IT was for this purpose
that God chose him to be king. God
gives us property, or talents, or attrac-
tivencss, or whatever of good he has
bestowed upon us. in order that we may
aid Gods cause and build mp his king
dom. This is the privilege that goes with
all Gods special blessings.
