The daring japanese sailors on board

Solomon declares that the essential

nishing OF a house he names three
things as necessary and these are wis
dom. understanding and knowledge
Soiomon's conception of furnishing
is beyond the ordinary He sees the
chambers filed With all pleasant and
precious riches" Something more than
money is needed for furnishing after
that pattern. OF course, with money
you can buy stuff enough to make the
house look Ike a furniture warehouse,
or you coTid buy so many quaint and
curious things" that your house would
remind people of some "old curiosity
s.lop." a house with poorly selected
furniture would not answer the de-
scription given in this text. 1t would

are words that cannot be dismissed
or ignored. SO to-day let US accept
them ana interpret them, if possible,
in terms not only of the life that now
is but of the life eternal.
The world is great market place
into which every one of us is carried
by the chariot of birth. with more or

is subjected to the same irrevocable
laws of exchange as govern all other
investments, among which we lind as
fundamental these four:
l. There Ia no credit at this market.

2. The universe deals honestly with
her patrons. Here we get Just what
we bargain for-nothing more, nothing

The fourth law is an alarming Ole:

generous things that have become os-
siled for want of exercise, the minds
that are now capped in dark case

full evidences that this righteous law
Of God is being unflnchingly executed
