Half Had Never Been Told.

The Queen Of Sheba, hearing of him in
the far-on land where she lived, made
. Journey to Jerusalem. which required
months, and when she left to go back
home she left record that half had
never been told Of his wealth and power
and wisdom
He wrote three thousand proverbs,
and his songs were a thousand and
i've. That is the kind of ability that
Solomon had to answer the question
of my text, and if he wasn't an expert
show me where I can find one
What profit hath a man of all his
1abors which he taketh under the sun
Now. let's see how well qualified Sol
omon was from actual experience to
answer the question of my text Every
great pleasure was at his finger tips.
II he wanted anything all he had to
do was to reach out his soft, jeweled
hand and it was there. His kingdom
was at peace during all his reign, and
that gave him an opportunity to graf
ify his desires, and from what he tells
us he lost no time.

BILLY SUNDAY ANXIOUS FOR
PRESIDENT TO VISIT HIM

from it-they are all fine scouts, of
course.
But there is only one President.
And the President is the one Billy
wants to see beneath the wooden roof.
Billy and Nav have visited the
President at the White House, and have
been cordially received.
Now Billy waits for the chief execu-
done here.
The visit of the President. accom-
panied by Mrs. Wilson, would be the
crowning triumph of the evangelist's
work in the National Capital.
Invited First Night.
The President was formally invited
to attend the opening night services at
the Tabernacle. but was forced to de-
cline at that time
Since then the local committee has
taken no steps to bring the President
to the Tabernacle. naturally feeling
some hesitancy, it is declared. and
realizing the great war task, which en-
cages nearly every moment of Presi-
dent Wilson's time.
A few days ago Secretary Tumulty
inquired how long the services were
to continue, but said nothing as to
whether or not the President intended
to come, and nothing was asked by
members of the local committee.
Will the President go to one Of the
meetings before the last one is over
next Saturday night?
That is the question.
Evening star., 1918-02-24

Billy Sunday is disappointed because
President Wilson hasn't come to the
Tabernacle.
Although he doesn't say anything
about it. it is an open secret at the big
wood hut" across from the Union sta
tion that the evangelist is feeling
keenly the absence of the President.
Many cabinet officials have visited the
Tabernacle, most of them on nights
particularly set aside for the employees
of various departments.
District Commissioners have been
there. too. together with officials high
and low from the population of the city
which contains more Officials to the
square foot than all the other cities of
America combined, probably.
City Postmaster Chance, as chairman
of the local SUNDAY committee. is a
familiar sight at the Tabernacle.
Famous Men Come.
Senators and representatives have
come night by night to hear Sunday
preach Nation-famous men and
women, too-are seen there.
All this is pleasing to Billy.
Yet his cup is embittered.
There is just one man he wants to
see at the Tabernacle above all~others
Not that he disparages the others-far

Solomon Had Every Advantage

Solomon was made king OF this great
kingdom when he was still young man
and his father, David, was yet alive to
give him counsel and advice. He had

Text of Last Nights Sermon.

Billy Sunday took for his text last
night, What profit hath man of all
his labor which he taketh under the
SUM-" He said, in part:
This question was asked and an
swered by Solomon and means in our
language. What does a man get out OF
life if he simply lives for what this life
can give him.
And il anybody has ever been able
to give a right answer to that question,
from his own wisdom, and experience,
and wealth, and power and station in
life, it was Solomon If ever anybody
came into this world with a golden
spoon in his mouth it was Solomon
THE devil has mortgage on some
children at the cradle. but Solomon had
NO such handicap. He was the favorite
son of one of the greatest and best men
that have ever lived. His father was
David, who was man after Gods own
heart, which means that he just suited
God, and when God says he is satisfied,
then you can write Finis,' for there is
nothing more to be done.

GA Thirtysecond Degree Sport.

He took all the degrees Of his day;
he invented some new ones Of his own.
Solomon was a thirty-second degree
sport
He lived in palace and his servants
were not spring chickens. They were
all highbrows. He was honored and
hattered as few men have ever been.
No greater honor was ever known than
was shown to Solomon. No greater
wisdom has ever been found in any
books than in those of which he was
the author. No higher station has ever
been reached by a human being than
that attained to by Solomon. He was
puted by our standard of gold and sill
yer.
He had no ambition that was not
achieved. he had no curiosity that was
not gratified. He was a close observer
Of everything, like his father David.
He said, Il have seen all the works
which are done under the SUM-" mean
ing that the world had nothing more to
show him. meaning there was nothing
moro that the world had to teach that
he didn't know. That was going some,
believe me.
eat some time in Dur life we have all
envied great scholarships and great
ability, and we have all thought it
would be foretaste of heaven il we
only had the opportunity to learn all
we'd like to know, and we believe that
the greatest joy that could come to a
human being was the joy of knowing
all you'd like to know or possessing all
you'd like to own"
