rbs Queen of sheba Visits Solomon.
4 Kings 10: 1-10.)

Golden Texts: When the righteous
40 in authority, the people rejoice.
prov. 29:2.)
The incident which forms the sub
.,o+ Of our lesson occurred In the lat
~ half of Solomon's reign, for we
know from 1 Kings, 8: 10 that the
risit of the Queen of Sheba came
.fter his twentieth year as king.
In order to get a full comprehen-
,ion of this lesson, we should read
tbe ninth, tenth and eleventh chap
tors of First Kings. In these chap
ters las also in the corresponding ac-
eount in 1 Chronicles Z: IL to 8: 26),
We find the glories of Solomon's reign
described, in striking and suggestive
detail. while we also find recorded
tbe history of the sad declension of
moral characters which marked the
closing years of Solomon's life.
The Glory of Israel Under Solo
mon.-The glory of Solomon's rule
was manifest in many ways, among
which we may specify the following
facts:
The extent of the kingdom was
greatly increased. Under Solomon's
leadership, it extended "from the
Euphrates on the north to the bound
ary line of Egypt on the southwest,
including the whole strip of territory
lying between the desert on the east
and south, and the Mediterranean
Sea on the west, except the narrow
strip occupied by the Phoenicians,
who were in alliance with Solomon"
The temple, the most magnificent
edifce for worship to be found IN the
whole world, was built under his di-
rection.
Royal palaces, which were marVels
Of luxury and splendor, were erected
for his occupancy.
The city of Jerusalem was beauti-
fed and enlarged, and large and cost
" aqueducts were constructed, which
furnished a constant and abundant
supply of water for it's use.
Commerce was extended, and an al
lance perfected with Hiram, king of
Tyre, by which the kingdom of Israel
enjoyed naval advantages never be-
lore secured.
In a word, we may characterize the
reign of Solomon as fraught with
Inc spirit of expansion, and crowned
with an outward splendor and mag
nhcence never equaIed either before
Or since in IsraeIs history.
The Visit of the Queen of Sheba.-
Inc fame of Solomon naturally be-
came widely spread, and among those
VINO heard of his glory was the Queen
u Nheba. Sheba is generally under
STOOD to mean the region of Sebaea,
II southern Arabia, bordering on the
ned Sea, and distant some fifteen
hundred or two thousand miles from
Jerusalem.
Ihe story of the Queen of Sheba's
visit Is told in the text of the lesson
anu needs no repetition here. Arabic

One of the finest pieces of artistic
decorating and ornamenting of the
interior of building which has
ever been attempted or done in the
city is that now being performed
by Leamon & Fulton on the Con
gregational church interior. 1t is
| only to be seen to be admired and
beyond our power to try to portray
by pen picture. Those gentlemen
are just trying themselves on this
building knowing that the work
itself speaks louder than words.
The Maccabee Tents have by
law or two that should be inserted
in the regulations of several other
secret societies with good advant-
age, and that is where an officer is
absent from his post for a certain
number of meetings without good
excuse the office is declared vacant
and an election is called to fill the
vacancy. This happened Monday
night when an election was held in
