HOUSE or GOD.
After referring TO the sanctity Of the
At0ncmcnt Day and the presence Of the
people in the House OF God. the speaker
referred 10 the appeal which st should
mako unto them. Then, continuing ne
said.
Let us consider what i1 the real value
Of "a Jewish house OF worship. what does
it stand for us. what does it mean 20
the rest of the world? To do this thor
ouehly would carry us over much of the
worlds history. for the house OF God OF
Jacob has made its influence felt during
AN of the years Of man pilgrimage upon
earth. Nor has 80 stood for the same
ideals in every age. With the dawn Of
human history its light had begun 70
shine though the morning mists OF ig-
norance and primitive fear hung heavy
before its face. But as time rolled on
the mists slowly dissolved, stronger,
brighter. clearer grew its light I'LL men
began 10 see. and seeing, 20 understand
and by IT'S guidance % grope their way
along the dlm-nt avenues OF moral COM
uuct With widening knowledge stil
more fully did mon perceive its value.
and with each circling century shall
mans perception grow tin that light shall
shine affair and lts radiance penetrate 10
the uttcrmOsL ends OF the Garth.
yet what shall we regard as thetproper
vehicle for IT'S conveyance, the true globe
that shall enclose the flame. and render
that radiance To- be used OF the children
of men? The house of prayer has many
fo~qs as prayer itself has many tongues
We are told that in the days of Enoch
"men began 90 call on the name or Cod
Genesis iv, go. They called TO Him
from groves and high places from valley
depth ami mountain top. from hcld and
forest and though weak. uncertain and
feeble. yet did not that call rise up to Doe
heard on high?
SOLOMON S TEMPLE.
"The Talmud tells us Pesachim $50
that by Abraham the house OF worship
was called a mountain for God appear
ed TO him ON a mountain. TO Isaac 10
was "a field, for Isaac went 10 mediate in
the field. 70 Jacob a house. as it is said
ne called the name of that place the
house Of God Hasar's cry was heard
by the lonely desert rock. and Miriam's
pean of praise rang out above the sullen
surge OF the returning sea. The wander
ing tabernacle of the desert was replaced
by S0l0m0n's glorious ediAce, and on its
ruins was built the later structure OF
which Hagsai said (xl, Sd 'the glory Of
the second house shall be greater than
that Of the first
yet when that resplendent temple lay
IN ruins beneath the feet of the Roman
legions when desolatiOn and oespoAauon
trod hard upon the heels of destruction,
when the bodies of the dead and the
ashes of the temple lay mingled IN one
great. awful horror, when the golden
vessels Of the sacred service and the
noble sons Of a sacred priesthood were
carried away 20 grace Roman triumph

"The visible universe is Gods house OF
