INFLUENCE of Wisdom.-And t

INFLUENCE of Wisdom.-And this
| last brings us to our closing thought:
The influence of wisdom. If we were
able to go back to the period in Jew
ish history when Solomon reigned, and
mingled with the people, we would find
that the manifest presence of God with
Solomon which put him in sympathetic
touch with the lowest and meanest of
human needs influenced the people to-
ward practical views of God and prac-
teal religious living, more than would
all the learned preaching which the
king could have given expression to.
He might have talked religion faithful
ly during the 40 years of his reign and
left little Or no impression, but this
practical application of his GOd-given
gift exerted lasting influence upon all
the nation. An ounce of applied re-
ligion is better than carloads of SER
mons merely preached. You will OBJ
tain from God as much as you are will
ing to apply to he everyday needs of
those about you. Then ask that We may
receive, receive that we may give. eff
any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of
God, that giveth to all men literally
and upbraideth not; and 1t shall be
given him"

DEQUEST for Wisdom.-To my mind
~ one of the most charming pictures
we have of Solomon is this where, in the
attitude of little child, he is bowed be-
fore the Lord. One might prefer the
scene of the matchless splendor and
richness of his palace, his throne, and
his gorgeous apparel and stately dig
nifty, but l love to picture the young
king at Gideon clothed with beautiful
humility, and stirred by pure earnest
purpose for the right, talking with God,
and asking, not something for himself
but something for his people and ma
ton. And here is the key to his sue
cess. There are three things we wish
to emphasize in connection with this
incident in SolOmons life and in the
unfolding of our text. First, the SIM
pie faith of the suppliant; second, his
genuine humility, and third, his per-
feet unselfishness. No doubt comes be-
tween Solomon and his God at this
time There is no question in his heart
as to Gods ability and Willingness to
grant the request This is the way the
soul must always go to God if it would
obtain from Him. James emphasizes
this very point in the verses following
our text. He likens the man who
doubts to wave of the sea driven hith--
er and thither by the wind, and solemn
ly declares: Let not that man think
that he shall receive anything from the
Lord" Read carefully the verses which
follow the request which Solomon
makes of the Lord. No immediate ev-
idence that Solomon has been clothed
with the mantle of wisdom. In fact,
Scripture declares that Solomon awoke
and found it was a dream. This does
not mean there was vague intangible
ness to it all such as is ordinarily at
tached to dreams, but emphasizes the
fact that there was not any imm Mediate or
miraculous change in Solomon. There
was only the inward consciousness that
he had talked with God and that wisdom
when needed was to be his portion from
the God of all wisdom. In faith he went
down to Jerusalem, and waited and then
followed the evidences that the wisdom
for which he had asked had been be-
slowed. God does not give the soul the

HESE words of James are not in
| tended to imply that there are those
who do not lack wisdom, and who
therefore do not need that wisdom which
comes from above. No man has ever
yet lived who has not needed Divine di-
rection and help in the proper conduct
and administration of human affairs,
whether they involved the responsible
ties of kingdom or only those of the
work bench in the shop or the care of
the modest, humble home. But rather
does our text refer to the one who has
Weakened to sense Of that lack of wis
dom which has previously existed. Re
sponsibilities in greater or less degree
come to everyone. Modesty in measur-
ing personal abilities in coping with
those responsibilities, and recognition
of the need of Divine wisdom and help,
are the lessons which this incident in
the life of Solomon should teach us. Let
us then consider our text under the fol-
lowing heads: The need of wisdom;
The source of wisdom; The request for
wisdom; the gift of wisdom; The evil
dence of wisdom; and, The influence of
wisdom.

r lift of Wisdom.-As we have al
~ ready intimated, this gift of wis.,
dom to Solomon was not miraculous.
God did not send it down upon him
in great chunks so that he could gather
1t up and ship 1t back to Jerusalem,
there to be used when he wished to
make display of it, or when circum-
stances required. 1t came in the most
natural way, and while Solomon was
using every energy and faculty of his
being. God supplemented his natural
abilities, He did not supplant them.
While the gift was natural and timed
to the need. the evidences of that wis.,
dom were striking and well-nigh mirac-
ulous. for the nation instantly recog-
nized that 1.-THE Wisdom of God was in
him to do judgment" And that is the
way the wisdom which you are told
to ask of God will be received When the
difficult problem arises, when confused
in the presence of perplexing circum-
stances, then look for the gift of wis
dom. and move straight on, knowing
that each step will be guided by the I'M
erring judgment of God. Wisdom from
God is not something you can have
large reserve stock of on hand, as you
would grain supply or a bank account,
but is always in the possession of God,
but the prayer of faith will always be
able to move God and obtain from Him
just what is needed for the present re-
Quirement.

h ICED >Wisdom.-At no time is it
Y realized so fully as when the soul
is in the presence of God. 1t was when
Solomon was performing his religious
obligations before the Lord at Gideon
that the sense of his human limitations
and his great need of wisdom in admin
istering the affairs of his kingdom were
borne in upon his soul. 1t is only when
one seeks God and comes into His pres
ence that he can get his correct bear
ings and adjust the compass of human

EVIDENCE of Wisdom.-Did 1t ever
l. occur to you that it was singular that
God selected the incident He did to
prove the wisdom of His servant Sol
ONION? Surely out of the many hard
tests to which the Queen of Sheba put
him upon her visit. there must have
been some one which could have been
selected which would have so clearly
proved the possession of the gift. Sure
ly there must have been other and pleas
anter circumstances when he could
have displayed his God-given wisdom.
But, instead, he is found sitting on his
throne and adjudicating a disgusting
justice-court case; a case in which the
compliments had no standing and the
object of their dispute being the fruit OF
their sin and a witness against them.
Instead of hearing their case he might
have ordered their stOning without the
city according to the solemn judgment
of the Jewish law. Why was it? We
may not be able to suggest the correct
answer, but may it not have been to
emphasize the fact that the highest wis
dom of God reaches to the lowest hui
man need. Does 1t not emphasize the
practical utility OF God-g1ven wisdom?
Even the meanest and most despised
of all of His subjects was to feel and
know that the wisdom of God was
guiding him. The evidence of Solo
mons great wisdom was Unexpectedly
found in matter which most vitality
concerned the everyday life of two
outcast women. What a lesson this
ought to teach Won and mel Where are
we looking for evidences of wisdom
from God? In some great thing? You
will be disappointed. But realize that
the gift will be bestowed for the mean
est and most humble affairs of life, that
it will be given that you may bless and
help some despised, outcast soul, and
then there will be such a common
sense, yet exalted, walk with God as
will demonstrate to all about that ''the
wisdom of Cod is in you.

conscious possession of His treasures
that they may be boarded and gloated
over; and unwisely used, but He gives
when the need for use arises; and faith
keeps the soul confident that in the time
of need God will not fail. The request
for wisdom must be made with that
faith which assures the soul and makes
it patient to wait for it's bestowment in
the hour of need.
THE humility of Solomon, how strik-
| ingi And what near approach
it gives him to Godi The proud can
not stand in the presence of Godi Such
attitude is an impossible barrier
through which the soul cannot speak
so that God can hear. Though the
Lord be high; yet hath He respect unto
the lowlyj but the proud He knoweth
afar Off" The proud may ask for riches
and honor and glory, but it takes the
humble man to feel the need of wisdom
and ask with childlike spirit.
And the request must be made in I'M
selfshness. However much the sin
of selfishness shriveled up the heart
of Solomon in the later years of his
life, certain it is that Solomon at Glib
con was absolutely free from that
warping, narrowing tendency. He de-
sired to have that he might be a bless
Ing and help to others. A petition ris-
ing from such a heart never fails to
obtain all and more than it asks of God.
A good many people in James time were
asking and receiving not, and blaming
God because they did not. But in the
fourth chapter he tells them that it is
because they ask selfishly, desiring the
gift to consume upon their own de-
sires and lusts. But If any man ask
unselishly, and in humility and faith,
for wisdom, God heareth and giveth lib
orally, and upbraideth not.

a. Hartford road yesterday ordered the
500 repair men of the road who lived In
this city 10 report for work at the new
shops at Readville. Mass. in 10 days.
This means that many hundred employees
will have TO sell their homes and move
their families there. Although Il has
been rumored for several months that this
move would be made, the men were not
prepared for the notice.
President Mellen said: about 500 men
have been transferred from the local
shops the company will make and repair
all It's own cars The only workmen left
here will be those needed for temporary
repairs on cars. The object of this
wholesale transfer is TO have all the con-
struction and repair work carried on at
one point. and because the present shops
OF the road in this city are out OF date
and not equipped with any modern ma
1sinery.
When asked when the men would be
expected to report at Readville, Presi-
dent Mellen replied: 'ln about week.
HOUSES ARE SCARCE.
No preparation has been made at Hyde
park to house the men that President
Mellen OF the consolidated road has or
dered from New Haven TO the new car
shops at Readville. The employees who
make the change will find IL difficult to
find tenements for their families. Those
who desire TO board will be able to get
in somehow. IL not right at Readville,

Small houses are not to be had. Rents
for six or eight room houses run from so

supply even at that price.
A year ago an enthusiastic individual
from Boston declared that he had in
