Scarcely Croesus could have
looked upon richer treasure than that
which greeted the eyes of King Solo
mon that morning as he had been led
to the secret store house by the
prophet Nathan.
And all this my father David gath
ered?' questioned Solomon, as with
a sort Of awed wonder he contem-
plated the great piles of yellow and
white metal,
Yea replied the aged man Of
God. thoughtfully watching the face
of the young king, 1t was the one pas
sion of his life that he might gather
the treasure which should be reared
into a dwelling place for his God"
He hath surely made my task an
easy one" responded Solomon, medi-
tatively.
Then thou dost accept the com
missiOn?' questioned the prophet. al
most eagerly.
Yea, thou knowest that from the
first day that God gave me to sit upon
the throne of David my father, this
thought has been ever before me"
But it is already the fourth year

True, but what place had the
building of temple to the God of Is
rael until the certainty of the king

These have not been idle years"

CITY MEN AS FARMERS.
Find Health and zest If Nothing More
in the Operation.

Great is the debt of gratitude due
the man who makes money in trade or
professionally and spends it on farm
ing as a fad, says the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat. He is laughed at by the
real yeomanry as one to whom the
proper purpose and value of ready
cash are unknown, and who scatters
it on fantastic experiments; but the
amateur takes his own course and en-
joys it more than his critics imagine.
A city's most energetic population is
recruited from the farms, and the old
merchant or practitioner, as a rule,
Graves the country when he retires.
This passion is strong even among
those born in cities, and If they want
to amuse themselves with little ex-
travagances on the soil they ought to
have sympathetic encouragement. It
is seldom that farming Is attempted
on Monte Cristo principles, but surely
it is better to scatter a million on the
soil than to see it Tapped up by brok-
ers in a single night. Occasionally a
wizard in selecting and crossing plants
comes along and causes the world to
marvel by the new varieties he pro.
duces and the old ones he improves.
Inventors who have never lived out of
city street constantly add to the
machinery that places American agri.
culture far in the lead. Give the city
farmer the glad hand. The money he
fools away is not barren. He finds
health and zest, if nothing more. in

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
SERMoNETTE

"5ehold, purpose to build an
house unto the name OF the
Lord my God, as the Lcrd spake
unto David my father, saying,
Thy son, whom will set upon
thy throne in thy room, shall
build an house unto my name"
The high and noble ambition of
David, the father, to find realiza-
ton in the willing service of
Solomon the son.
II is splendid thing for ia
Their to have visions OF noble, ex-
allied service which find their
realization in the son. What
greater legacy could a father
leave than the commission to
the discharge of a great mis-
SIGN?
1t is a grand thing to find
son whose tilial love and obe-
dience holds him steadfast 70
the working out of the fathers
will. How better could the son
display the true qualities Of SON.
ship than in purposing to con-
sunmate the great work for
which the father had planned?
In this respect Solomon was
striking type of the Christ,
who came delghting to do the
will of the Father who had sent
him. The one plan of his life
was the consummation of the
supreme plan of salvation, pur-
posed in the heart of God from
the beginning.
If Solomon was to build tenn.
Pile of wood and stone for the
dwelling place of God, Christ
was to build a temple, not made
with hands, eternal in the
heavens, His task was the
transforming of the human life
into the temple beautiful for the
indweling of the blessed Para
ciete, the holy representative of
both God the Father and God
the Son.
There was neither hammer
nor ak nor any tool of iron
heard in the house, while it was
buiIding."-Thus reverentIy did
the building of Gods house pro-
coed. All the material was
brought to the temple site CON-
pieteIy fitted and finished, so
that all that was necessary was
the placing of stone upon stone,
and beam upon beam, each fit
ting perfectly into it's place.
May we not gather from this
the inspiring, helpful thought
that we who are being builded
as living stones into Gods tenn
pie are being shaped and FASH
Toned and prepared to fit per-
fectIy into the completed struc-
ture when all the parts are at
last assembled. Here in this
life we know not what niche we
are to fill, that remains to be
revealed. But like the stone in
the quarry far below the temple
site was hewn and smoothed
and grooVed ready to find it's
place at last in the splendid tenn
pie which was to be reared. so
we, here in the earthly pilgrim
age, are receiving that dsc-
pIine which shall knock off the
sharp corners, and smooth the
rough surfaces and groove the
life with the pattern of Gods
will SO as to at last make it fit
into its place in the completed
temple.
