and the Acropolis Is to Greece, the temple is to Palestine. A history of the temple is a history of the nation. Names illustrious and ignoble, deeds valorous and despicable, doctrines of faith and usages of ritual,--all are shrined and exemplified there. It Is the epitome of a thousand years. It Is no wonder that the repair of such a building became a matter of State. and that the king took personal supervis- ion of 1t. But the crown was not able as in solomon's day, to carry out the enterprise unaided The cooperation of the people must needs be urged. and there was the refiex advantage inci- dent to such cooperation.
 The very position of Isaiah in the ca- non is significant. Although written later than others. 1t yet stands first among the prophecies. Isaiah is easily first of the prophets. He Is more fre- quentiy quoted in the New Testament than all the other prophets put togeth- CT. Whether every part of the book which bears the name of Isaiah was written by that prophet or not is a curious question which does not bear upon the integrity and usefulness of the book. There may nave been several Isaiahs, as there were certainly several Davids, who joined in writing the Book of Psalms. History of the proph- cts Is absorbingly interesting. They make a brilliant galaxy from the Sam uel on--men like Othniel. Gideon. and Samson, prophets of the sword. and Hosea, Joel. Amos. prophets of the pen. History of prophecy Is equally entertaining; how the personality of the prophet Is conserved, he is not a t~a. l~,.k .I.f = a seer or seeing man; not so much a as a man with a vision of the bearing of current events upon the future.
 The Prophet Isaiah appears In new role. He Is par excellence the temper ance reformer of his age. He Is the model for every age. He Is not intem- perate in his attack upon intemperance yet for moral earnestness he is not surpassed. Drunkenness is usually in solent. It was ribald and abusive to- ward the prophet. But this did not de. ter him. He warded off the sheer with a terrible denunciation.
 The times were very evil and irrelig. ious. The Chronicler tells of Israels neglect of the temple in graphic phrase They showed their backs to 1t instead of their faces They shut the doors put out the lamps. and ceased from in. cense and offerings. The sacred ritua was entirely discontinued. Neglect oi a public edifice Is a species of vandal. ism, slower, but ultimately as effective as the hammer of the iconoclast Wher sweeper and artisan left off their daily work. filth accumulated, and the holy and magnificent house was on tho verge of dissolution. No reasons oi State or policy deterred the young king from at once mending this evil. He did not walt until he mad tested the allegiance of his subjects or debated the matter with his council of princes He immediately addressed himself tC the task of restoring religion and strenuously squared himself to the diff faculties involved.

Save for my daily range

Save for my daily range Among the pleasant fields of Holy Writ.
 I might despair. -Tennyson. Fourth Quarter.-Lesson XII. Decem-
 ber IS, 1904.
 THE REVIEW OF THE QUARTER.
 Biography preponderates in the Bible. "A troop cometh" whenever one lifts its lid. Shakespeare only approaches the Scripture in the multitude of characters introduced. They are men, women. children. from every rank and station-good. evil. and neutral. The whole gamut of human emotion is run. and every conceivable experience de- picted. Even a superficial reader does not fail to note this striking characteristic. It makes the Bible unique.
 No one need go far for the son. The Bible is a handbook for man conduct. It's purpose is to furnish the ethical and spiritual principles of life. It was not written to surprise or en- tertain-certainly not for revenue or fame. It is "a Divine instrument to cul- tivate a Divine life in the human soul. It is to reveal God and at the same time to reveal the life that is pleasing to God.
 The Bible is a cabinet of working models. We see in 1t characters m which the Divine life is exemjlifted. We see that life in its inception. growth. and consummation. the utility and beauty of it. In this same cabinet we find a set of models in which the de- mon life is exempllfied-ali phases of it--the growth. the inutility and dread denouement. The proverb has 1t that example is better than precept. On that plan the Bible Is built. It Is full of precepts, the categorical statement as to character and conduct. But over against every precept there are score of examples-the incarnations of precepts, the good for imitation. the evil for avoidance. It is this character istic which makes the Bible the most serviceable book in the world. One moment 1t flashes the green light of safety on the path of youth the next the red light of danger

Old Age Accomplishments

Allen G.. Thurman was IS years old
when he was nominated with Cleve-
land in 1888. Senator HOar, one of
the most active members of the SEN
ate, is IS. Another active senator,
Morgan, of Alabama, is so. Senator
Pettus is So. Cato learned Greek at
so. SimOnides bore the prize of
verse after he had passed his S0th
year, and SOphOcles wrote 'Oedipus"
when his years numbered more than
fourscore. Where the physical body
has not too far decayed the mind
should be bright and active at So.
Ex-senator Davis is vigorous in body
and his mind is clear and active at
81. He is able to transact a large
amount of private business and TO
personally supervise his vast in
terests. Some men are older at 60
than others are at so. - Nashville
