Every evidence would reveal that the
stone used by Solomon actually came from
these quarries.
Research would go to show that this
army of 100000 men did not represent the
total number of men called into requisition
to erect the first permanent worshipping-
place of the Israelites. We read in Scrip
ture how Solomon approached his fathers
old friend, Hiram, of Tyre, to lend him
men to cut down timber on Mount Leba-
non, "for Sidonians are more skillful than
our people in cutting of wood"
Hiram, we know, also sent many skill
full Phoenician workmen, and it is inter-
esting to note, as a confirmation of the
Bible story, that the agents of the Pales-
tine Exploration Fund discovered, some
months ago, Phoenician masons' marks
on one of the foundation stones of the
Temple wall, some eighty feet below the
present surface. 1t is thought by some
scholars that the total number of men en-
gagged by Solomon was no less than 1885,
600.
These men worked constantly for per-
iod of three years. The food, housing and
salaries of such an army must have
amounted to many millions of dollars. To
gather such an army today in the Holy
Land, house and feed them, and pay
their wages, would, it is computed, cost
no less than $3oO,OoO,OOo. But here we
have to remember that with modern
methods of construction and up-to-date
labor-saving devices, this army could be
considerably reduced in number.
Then apart from the cost of labor, stone
and iron, it is evident that if the Temple
is to be duplicate of the original, its de-
signers must be lavish in the use of gold
and precious stones.
The historical writer, Josephus, who has,
perhaps, left the best description of this
wonderful sacred edifce, tells US that the
Temple was overlaid with gold. Then
the gold ornaments were almost without
number, there being 100000 vessels of
gold, 100000 of silver, $4,000 golden
dishes for offering fine -four, 100000 silver
dishes for the same purpose, $4,000 large
gold basins for -four and oil, 10000 SIM
liar basins of silver, 10000 measures of
gold, 10000 measures of silver, 10000
golden censers to carry incense to the altar
and some $4,000 other gold and silver GEN.
sers. The great candlestick was also of
gold, beside the table for the shew-bread
and the Ark.
The gorgeous vestments of the priests,
the garments of the singers, the musical
instruments of the finest brass, the precious
stones, hangings and embroidery work,
gliding, engraving and other artistic work
manship must have represented huge
value, which has been computed at sew
eral billions of dollars.
After standing. for 40 years, Solomon's
Temple was completely destroyed by Neb-
buchadnezzer. The site has, in turn, been
occupied by Christian and heather build
ings.
Today it is adorned with that marvel
lous structure, the Mosque of Omar, the
dome of which is built on a rock from
which Moslems believe Mohammed as
cended into heaven, and which by legend
is associated with the spots where Abra-
ham offered Isaac.-Ex.

UNCLE TED's BEDTIME STORY
LESSONS TAUGHT BY HARD
ING'S ADDRESS

'Uncle Ted. said Ruth as the three
chums arose from the table, we've
wanted ever so much to hear all about
things you saw on Decoration Day at
Washington. Jack says he knows
you can tell us story about it."
1T has been several days since
then, Ruth answered Uncle Ted,
"but will be glad to tell you about
the dedication of that great memoir
ial to the wonderful man, Abraham
Lincoln.s would have told you about
it before but was delayed return
ing home because had to go to New
York first"
II suppose there was lots Of bands,
flags and lots Of excitement" said
Jack. n
mo, Jack" was Uncle Ted's reply,
sthere was nothing like that at all.
The ceremonies, or rather to me the
better word would be services, were
simple in the extreme, just like the
great Abraham Lincoln would have
liked them am sure. First Of all
picture this beautiful simple structure
on the banks Of the Potomac, over
looked by the hills of Virginia. The
memorial is simple but massive. 1t
actually speaks the simple greatness
Of that martyred President. Within
its four walls only three things greet
the eye. AS you enter you take a
short breath, as you face the enor-
nous statue, the work Of the sculptor
Daniel Chester French. 1t is a statue
Of Lincoln, seated so that ne looks
through he entrance Of the memorial
far off to the tall shaft of another
memorial, that Of Washington monu-
ment, erected in memory of the Faith
er Of our Country. On one side,
carved into the wall is Lincoln's
Gettysburg address and on the OPP
posite wall is his inaugural address.
That is all. But it makes you stop
and think and realize what mighty
man this Lincoln was and what might
have. happened to our Union had it
not been for his simple faith, faith
whichmade it possible for HIM to guide
the nation through criss which we
hope will never occur again.

hushed silence fell upon the crowd Of
more than 100, 900 while the Rev. Wal
