"And the Lord loved him.
In a sense God loves everybody.
, Scripture saith: "God is love-"
Every relation of God to the
, children of this world is an ex-
, prsssion of love. The condi-
! ton of the heart and life of
each individual may call forth
different methods of dealing,
but however God touches the
, life, whether in judgment or
mercy, in discipline or blessing,
it ia all done in love. God loves
too faithfully, too deeply, too
truly to do aught in his dealings
with man but that which is &C
cording to the Divine righteous
ness and justice.
But God loves in special
sense, as there is some special
attribute in the life and charac-
ter to call forth that love. Just
as parent loves with fuller,
deeper, trueP love the child who
lives In closer sympathy and
fellowship with himself than
that other child who is wayward
and disobedient, so God, our
Heavenly Father, in his infinite
love rejoices in and feIIowships
with the human heart that seeks
to know and do his will. Love
towards God calls out fuller,
freer expression OF love from
God.
God loves US when we are
bad, because he longs to help
us.
God loves US when we are
good, because he reioices In
goodness, and longs to see US
grow into his likeness.
God loves us in a special way,
because his infinite wisdom sees
within US the future possibiI.
ties of goodness and greatness,
and knows that in us is to be
found an opportunity of ex-
pressing the attributes of the
Divine nature and executing the
Divine will.
What father Is there who
does not rejoice with a peculiar
joy as he notes the first indica-
tion of budding genius in the
boy? He is ambitious for that
boy and he is anxious to see
the best in the boy brought out.
And as his every effort meets
with glad response from the boy
how glad and proud the father
ls, So Is 1t with God, only inf
niteIy more so.
The splendid development of
solomon's early life was due no
doubt largely to the influences
which Nathan the prophet threw
around the young lad, and en-
phasizes the Importance Of this
period in determining the des-
tiny of a life. The testimony
Of Scripture that "The Lord
loved Solomon" tells US enough
to make 1t certain that In his
young heart there stirred
glowing love for God and the
desire to do his will.

Care of House Plants

Don't be afraid to scrub the plants
brought in for the winter. With a
brush, water, soap and an infusion of
tobacco every leaf and stem should
be scrubbed to remove insects. The
bathroom spray is excellent to use in
rinsing, which should be thorough. A
frequent drenching and occasional
meals of flower food will make up to
the plants for the loss of outdoor life
and they will repay with vigorous
growth and bloom during the winter
months.

He 1t was who had been first to
speak over the little life the benedic.
tion and blessing of the Lord, and
when he had given him the name of
Jedidiah he realized better than any
one else that he was indeed the "be,
loved of the Lord" and that the Lord
had destined him as the future king
of Israel. For this reason conster.
nation filled his neart as he heard the
words of the young lad. He had
wanted to hold him under Jewish in
fuences and training, and here he
was with longing eyes looking toward
Egypt as the goal of his ambition.
For some few minutes the prophet die
not answer, the meantime keeping his
eyes upon the boys face as though he
would look to the soul within and
read it's every secret.
The open, frank, clear eye did not
finch before the searching gaze, but
instead the boy stood quietly and
deferentially waiting for Nathan to
speak. He had learned to love this
man of God as father, and in many
respects there were closer bonds of
union between them than existed be-
tween him and his own father, King
David
"Jedidiah," at last softly spoke the
prophet, "knowest thou the thing that
thou askest?"
Yea, that I may possess the learn
ing of Egypt"
May, rather thou art asking for the
right to forget thy God and thy peo-
pie"
The face of the boy flushed Grim
son, but his eyes did not falter as they
looked into the older mans face and
he said:
But is it disloyal to God or to my
nation to desire knowledge?"
may, but cannot thy heart content
itself with what thy nation can give
thee?"
"And have I not been content, but
should it remain content when there
is more beyond?"
The prophet did not make reply and
the boy went On after a moments
pause:
"The Egyptian said that as son of
king I would have special advan-
tages and privileges. You'll ask ia.
ther, won't you? And I want you to
go with me; wouldn't want to be
separated from you," and the boy put
his hand affectionately upon the
others arm.
The heart Of the prophet was
touched, and tear glistened in his
eye as he said:
Leave me now, Jedidiah, / will
give thee answer later"
What would be the result" he
he asked himself, as he sat alone, 'if
the boy should go into Egypt?
Would the boy come back less an
Israelite and follower of the true
God? Would God be pleased at his
going?" Such were the food of
questions which surged through the
heart of Nathan. Had not the lad
spoken truly when he had said that it
was not disloyalty to God to de-
sire knowledge?" He would speak to

Thou art determined to go?"
"Not determined" replied Solomon
respectfully, "for I will abide by thy
decision, and that of my father, the
king. But do want to CO."
The prophet placed both his hands
upon the shoulders of the young lad
and looking him squarely in the eye
with tender, earnest gaze, he said,
slowly, as though he would measure
each word and note it's effect:
