which some do not seem to be familiar It is written, The Lord loved him. and He sent by the hand of Nathan, the prophet and he called his name Jedidiah (beloved of the Lord because of the Lord' QI Sam. xii, 24, 25). The name Solomon, which means peace able" was given to him before he was born q Chron. xii, 9, margin). How beautifully suggestive the two names beloved of the Lord, a man of rest, the Lord giving peace and quietness in his days. How sadly he failed to let God work out his plan. How perfectly it will be wrought out in the true Son of David. of whom God said, ''This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased" CMatt. iii, IT; xvii, D.
 How strangely do the first three verses of our lesson chapter read in the light of Gods commands to have no fellowship with the heather nations or their idols, affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt; marrying his daughter, loving the Lord and walking In His statutes, yet sacrificing and burning incense in high places! It sounds q good deal like the worldly combina- tions of today, which must so grieve the Spirit, for we are plainly told that whosoever will be q friend of the. world

Judah and Is rael were said to be many as the sand which Is by the sea in multitude, dwelling safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, and so God gave Solomon wisdom and understand ing exceeding much, and largeneSS of heart, even as the sand that is on the seashore, making him to excel all the wisdom of the east and of Egypt, so that people came from all kings to hear and see q Kings iv, 20, 9, 20, 30, 34).
 Because of Solomon's request God not only gave him what he asked, but also riches and honor, which he had not asked Oversees 10-14; II Chron. i. II, 12). making us think of Eph. iii 20, 21, and of Him who, speaking of the queen of Sheba'S visit to Solomon, said, "A greater than Solomon is here" (Matt xii, 42). He is the wisdom of God and has said to us by His Spirit. 'If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men lib orally and upbraideth not, and 1t shall be given him" q Cor i, A, 30; Jas. i, ). He is ready to be our wisdom for every day, every hour, every moment, every emergency, every person we Have to deal with.

In these days the tabernacle and the braZen altar were at Gibeon, but the ark of the covenant was in the tent at Jerusalem which David had pitched for it, and to Gibeon Solomon and his people went to offer burnt offerings unto the Lord (verse 4; Chron. xxi, %; II Chron. i, 1-6). All the offerings appointed by God were typical of the one great offering of His Son, who by the sacrifice of Himself put away the sins of all who receive Him. Only by Him have we access to God, and only by Him can we truly worship God or serve Him, and for His sake God does all things for His people, notwith- standing their unworthiness.
 So We read that in that night Jeho. yah appeared to Solomon. and God said unto him. Ask what shall give thee" verse 5; II Chron. i. ..

 In some Bible studies there are some words which we do well to carry with us through those studies, and in this lesson and the next we should re- member these words: "Then sat Solo, mon upon the throne of David. his fa- ther, and his kingdom was established greatly" Then Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king instead of David, his father, and prophesied and all Israel obeyed him. q Kings il, 12; Chron. xxix, 23) Another name was given to Solomon at his birth with

THE WARPED SENSE OF AuMoa.

It is big thing to be born with a sense of
humor. 1t will force smooth sailing on LIES rough
est seas. and will make even drudgery bearable.
The woman who cannot joke, even at her
expense, is to be pted-and so are her fun
loving friends. There is nothing harder on both
sides than humorsm that falls fiat
The good people who interested in the de-
crease of divorce should have law passed that the

1t labeled JOKE, and you couldn't help jok-

But it is one thing to have a sense of humor and
another to have a warped sense OF humor. There
is one more maddening than the person who
at mishaps and thinks it so funny to
mortify his friends.
You can afford to laugh-if you feel like it

false puffs in church: but you have friendship
SO tender that will warrant smile when a friend
does the same.
1t is the woman with the misplaced sense of
humor who tells embarrassing anecdotes about FAM

common friend something you have said about
her but never intended her to hear.
One of these misplaced humorists is the husband

Uses for Sand Bags.

A convenient addition to a sewing
table are some small sand cushions.
Make them three or four inches
square. but do not fill them too full.
Cover them with scraps of bright silk,
ribbon or velvet. When cutting out
garments it will be found that they
will save. much time and bother, be-
cause instead of having to pin the pat
tern to the cloth these handy little
bags may be used as weights. and the
garment is not marred by pinholes
when this plan is used. These bags
will also keep the work from slipping
away and from blowing about.

The reader will wonder where the wayfarers
slept while they were engaged in carrying out their

clning benches in the parks. some utilized fence
corners while the more listess of the order salts

All in ALL it must be said that the convention
was great success, more enthusiasm attending
the meeting than ever before. There was more
grub less allusion to soap and water and lots OF

Linen Napkin Rings.

Napkin rings of linen are preferable
to silver ones for every day use, for
they can be kept sweet and dainty. A
piece of linen should be folded double,
making a width of about three inches
the piece to be as long as is neces-
sary to fasten around the napkin. The
linen should be fine and white. EN-
broider a monogram on the linen.
Work a button-hole in one end, which
should be pointed, and sew pretty
pearl button on the other. The edges
may be bound or merely turned in and
stitched on the machine. or they may
be basted and then feather-stitched.
The work is prettier when done in
white and the monogram should be
padded well.

WORK APRON OF WHITE LINEN.
Dainty Garment for the Presiding
Genius Of the Chatting Dish.

A novel work apron with bretelles,
one that can be worn when embroid-
ering or presiding over chatting dish.
Is made of white linen having a dainti-
ly worked scalloped pattern all around
the edge. The apron part is rounded
at the bottom corners and is narrowed
at the, waist. having a few tiny plaits
where 1t joins the belt. On the under
side of the apron. starting at the belt.
is sewn narrow strip OF linen, fol-
lowing the outline of the apron and
continuing on up the other side of the
belt. In the center at the bottom two
buttonholes are worked and then rib
bon is run in this casing, the upper
ends being well fastened at the waist,
while the other ends come through
the buttonholes to the outside, where
they are tied in bow.
When the apron Is worn plain with
out the pocket effect the bow remains
in this position, but when the use of
the pocket is desired the knot is lifted
up to the waist line, thus gathering
the apron so that it forms a pocket.
and the bow is then hooked to an in
visible eye in the center of the belt in
front.
The belt itself is fashioned of rib
bon and the bretelles made of shaped
pieces of the embroidered material
have bands of ribbon running from
each side of the front to the shoulders,
where they terminate in smart little
bows with an end of each returning
down the front to the bust, making the
two ribbons to join and form another
bow,
