LARGENESS OF HEART.

By Rev. Frank e. Goodchild.
God gave Solomon wisdom and un-
Outstanding exceeding much, and
largeness of heart. Kings Nv. 20.
No man ever had a more varied en-
dowment than Solomon, whose mem
ory Is cherished by Jews, Christians
and Mohammedans alike.
He had such unbounded wealth that
we are told he made silver as the
stones of the streets in his capital city.
He had wisdom that so amazed men
that they came from the ends of the
earth to hear him. He had such skill
in ruling that he left behind him
worldwide fame that will endure to
the end of time.
But this singular historian who tells
US the story of his life reminds us that
he had something beyond these things.
The greatest of Gods gifts to man Is
not mighty brain, not a full purse,
not to have his name on evsrybody's
lips, but to have a generous spirit,
"largeness of heart" as it is called in
this text
The Bible has a great deal to say
about a mans heart. The mind of
man is not ignored. We are told to
love God with all our mind, but no
one can read the Bible without dis
corning that its chief concern Is with
the heart. The Scriptures with I'M
mistakable clearness declare the SUI
Dremacy of the heart over the brain.
You may train the intellect and not
make man mite better. 1t was said
of one Of the greatest Of Englishmen
that he was not only the wisest and
brightest but also the meanest of man.

portrayal OF God we have is In that

Him and makes us worship Him. And

II the heart Is full Of good inten-
lions, 1t Is easy to speak we'll and to
do well. If the heart is a nest of evil
desire, wickedness IS the natural and
inevitable outcome Of it. We drill the

we train their hands to a trade; but
too often we let the heart take it's own
way. Somebody has said that II an in

ours and study the catalogues of our
schools he would conclude that our
race has no heart, so much provision
is made for the training Of the mind
and the heart Is so ignored.
II our heart is dwarfed, If our SYM
pathies are narrow, II our interest in
the needs of people about us is cold
and dead, there is but one remedy; we
must ask the Creator Of the heart to
help US and make us tender in spirit
and we must exercise the heart by
helping others.
