to the queen all or
her desire, whatsoever she asked; be-
sides which, Solomon gave her of his
royal bounty"-a present.
"A Greater Than Solomon"
Jesus remarked on this story, and
marvelled that there were no more to
appreciate Himself and His wonderful
lessons respecting the Kingdom of
God. (Matthew 12:42.) For people to
travel a long distance merely to know
about the wisdom of God such as
King Solomon possessed, would imply
that If it were known that a still wiser
One could be conferred with, He would
be sought; and If 1t should be known
that this wiser One was heir to the
world and was seeking a Bride, how
many might be expected to hasten to
Him and accept the generous proposal!
This is exactly the condition of
things. Gods Son. according to the
Divine Program, is selecting a Bride
class. The first opportunity to be Of
hams natural seed. Had they accept
cd their privileges, the Church would
have been completed In Jesus day.
Nevertheless, a wonderfully large part
of that little nation accepted Jesus.
Then the door Of this High Calling
was thrown open to the Gentiles.
Their unreadiness is indicated by the
fact that 1t has required eighteen cen
turtles to complete the elect number.

A BIT OF ADVICE
First-Don't Delay. Second-Don't
Experiment.

If you suffer from backache; head
aches or dizzy spells; if you rest poor
ly and are languid in the morning; IL
the kidney secretions are irregular
and unnatural in appearance, do not
delay. In such cases the kidneys Of
ten need help.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
prepared for kidney trouble-they are
recommended by thousands. Can
residents desire more convincing
proof than the statement of a citizen
Of this locality?
Mrs. William Doughty, 700 Mulber-
ry ST., Millville, N. j., says: 81 had
a severe pain in my back and over my
kidneys. l took Doan's Kidney Pills
and in a short time was relieved of
the trouble. l am today free from
kidney disease. Another of my FAM
lily had been troubled by kidney COM

caused annoyance. Doan's Kidney

provement."

A DRAWING CAMPAIGN.

A small girl went home from school
at Ketchikan, Alaska, after a talk to
the children by Mrs. Cornelia Temple
ton Hatcher, president of the territor-
ial W. c. T. u, and excitedly an
nounced to her mother that she was
"going to sign the mustard roll" Mrs.
Hatcher repeated the information to
her audience that night and told them
that the temperance forces intended
to put considerable ginger into the
campaigns for prohibition and the
children would supply a right smart
of mustard" The combination would
make a plaster that would draw every
dry voter to the polls on November
4, 1916.

WHOSE

Recent Investigations show that
tract the drinking habit before they
are twenty-one years old, nearly one
third before they are sixteen, and
about seven per cent before they are
twelve. The liquor dealers know this,
and for business reasons they must

One family out of every five must fur
nish a recruit for the army of drunk
ards or the trade" must go under,
and one wonders if the men who vote
for saloons are willing to furnish
their boys to help support them?

him world-famous. By the mid
die of his reign King Solomon had &C.
complished marvels for his nation. Its
fame spread to every land. He was
known as the wise king, the peaceful
king, the rich king.
The visit of the Queen Of Sheba to
King Solomon was probably about the
middle of his reign. She came, it is
supposed, a journey of 1,50O miles,
with quite a large retinue of servants
and camels and with valuable presents
of gold and Arabian perfumes. Our
lesson gives the queens own statement
of her object in coming to see King
Solomon, and Of how she found the
facts to be more than double all the
stories told respecting King Solomon's
wisdom, riches and prosperity.
The Wonders of Solomon.
The Temple of the Lord, materials
for which his father David had pre-
pared years before, was one of the first
marvels of King Solomon's reign.
Then the kings palace and the corri-
dor, or ascent which led from his house
to the Temple, were marvellous for any
time until the wonders of engineering
and architecture brought forward DUR
ing the past century, noted In the BIZ
bic as the period of Gods preparation
for Messiah's Kingdom.-Nahum 2:3.
Another great engineering feat was
called the Pools of Solomon-the sys-
tenn of water supply for Jerusalem.

But his largest port of entry was at
Tyre-not In his dominion. He did
business through the king of Tyre; and
unitedly their ships trayersed the Red
Sea, the Mediterranean, etc, bringing
commerce from all parts of the world
and affording facilities for importing
goods not produced in Palestine. Thus
he became so rich that figuratively it
was said that the precious metals were
as common as stones in Jerusalem.
Although busted with these enter
prises. King Solomon at heart was
loyal to God; and his reign, by the
time of the Queen Of Sheba's visit,
seems to have been wonderful. Later,
satiated with the blessings of life, the
king seems to have been less wise, less
a mar after Gods own heart, and less
thoughtful for his people. 1t is diff
cult, especially for the poor, to realize
how great are the temptations Of the
rich and the danger that wen a wise
nan may become foolish through the
qualification of his every desire. Incl
dentally, we should not forget King
Solomon's literary achievements. He
wrote three thousand proverbs and a
thousand songs. Surely the Lord did
for him all that He had promised.

the Queen of Sheba visited, with pres
