SERMONETTE.

Adonijah's cause was strong.
David was old and greatly en-
! feebled. Certainly he did not
court another rebellion. How
was it, then, that he could act
with such precision, such posi-
tlveness, such holiness? II was
faith. Nothing in the world
could have pulled David toeeth-
er and revived his waning facuI-
ties but the sense of the obliga-
ton which he owed God and the
J consciousness that Gods will
was to be wrought out in the
face of the pIottinqs of man.
What a grand thing it is to
see an old man whose strength
and Inspiration is the Lord.
What have we after all to lean on
but God? AS earth is slipping
cut from under our feet how
blessed it is to feel and know
that the eternal purposes of God
are still to be wrought out in
the world.
In this incident of Adonijah's
grasping for the kingdom and
the final triumphant coronation
of the young man Solomon, we
have a prefigurement of the uI-
innate triumph and coronation
! of Christ the King of kings and
Lord of lords. The world would
put self upon the throne, but
God has other plans and in the
fullness of time "Jesus shall
reign Where'er the sun doth
his successive journeys rum"
Nothing can thwart the prom
ises that were made to the
Son when in the beginning
he offered himself as the worlds
Redeemer, and nothing can in
terfere with the glorious full
fiIIment of the Divine will.
AS the youth of Solomon in
many ways prefigured the youth
of the Christ, so in his trium-
plant coming to the kingdom and
his glorious reign we find hint
or suggestion of the coming gIo-
rious reign of the Christ.
"And he (Adonijah) came
and bowed himself to King Sol
omon." This outward act of
reverence and submission to the
newIy-crowned king reminds US
of the Scripture which saith:
Every knee shall bow to me
and every tongue shall confess
to God" However rebeIlious
and wicked the heart may be,
there is coming the time when
every knee must bow and every
tongue confess to God. Christ
has not yet come into his own,
but the day is coming when as
King he shall take possession of
the Kingdoms of the world, and
then many knee which has
refused to bow to his rule will
be forced to recognize his power
and authority and be brought
low before him.

THE STORY.

&C OLOMoN! Solomon" Breath
~ lessly the woman listened, and
getting no response, she raised her
voice and cried:
Solomon! solomon!"
Bathsheba had returned from the
presence of King David in great haste,
and as she rushed into the palace
David had built for her and her son
Solomon, she laid aside all her re-
serve and dignity and called frantic
ally for the young man. The sound
of her voice awoke the echoes, and
the scurrying feet of the servants
could be heard as they fastened to
her presence.
Where can he be-" impatiently
cried Bathsheba when no Solomon ap-
peared. For an instant she contem-
plated the wondering servants as they
gathered before her, and then CON-
manded them sharply:
go find him. Lose not a moment.
The kings business requires haste
A scurrying of feet and again the
woman was left alone.
THE king has promised" she ex-
claimed as she paced nervously to
and fro. Solomon shall sit upon the
throne of his father! Adoniiah must
be thwarted" And the flashing eyes Of
the woman, the stern lines on the
face and the tightly-clenched hands
indicated the spirit which completely
controlled her. "He may have his
feast at Enrogel," she continued to
herself. Even now, / suppose, he is
planning with his followers what he
shall do when he is come into the
kingdom, but the king has promised
and Goo is good. He will bring these
plans to naught. But Solomon, where
is he? He must be ready against the
coming of the kings servants"
And with this last thought in mind
she hurried off to the apartments &C.
cupied by the boy and was soon busy
selecting the garments which she In
tended he should wear when he was
anointed king.
And while the mother was thus
busy and while the servants of Bath.
sheba were going hither and thither
in search of Solomon. there was much
excitement and stir among the serv-
ants of King David.
Had there ever been such trans
formation before? But a few hours
before there had been sadness and
detection in the palace, for it was
thought that the king was dying, and
then had come the visit of Bathsheba,
and of Nathan the prophet, and sud-
denly the king seemed to shake off
the stupor which had crept in upon
him. The eye had kindled with some
OF the old-time fire, the form which
had seemed shrunken and weak
thrilled with new life and sat erect
and the voice which only had spoken
for days past in feeble expression of
some trifiing want, was now speaking
forth words of command. The news
of all this spread like wild fire
throughout all the city of Jerusalem

experiences with hawks in my day,
an they've teaehed me the truth O.
what | says, that they's honest hawks
an dishonest hawks. The first one
was a Teller who used to ply his trade
o swipin' poultry up back O. Portland
when / lived up there. Me an mother
was young then, an we spent most Of
our time raisin' chickens. 1t was a
profitable business in them days. The
boardin' house keepers along the

everybody else, we suffered some from
hawks, an one big Teller p'tic'larly got
away with number O. nice juicy

He'd come along jest before night,
once a week, most generally on
Thursday afternoon, as l remember
1t; swoop down on the hen yard, seize
the fattest-lookin' Teller he could
find an go soarin' off in the air with
him. AS l says got pretty mad about
it, an bein' young l swore some, an
finally made up my mind Mr.. Hawk
