uaIIy in my mouth Psalm.
1t is early morn. The King of
day has begun his lordly march
across the heavens. On the up
lands and lowlands with his
beams of light he is making every
thing beautiful everywhere. Every
blade of grass glistening in the
beams are made to look like
diamonds. How blessed to feel
the glory and power that comes
from above and enjoy these de-
lights and growth and keep them
In the sweetness Of glad sum-
mer time.
"Oh, that men would praise the
Lord for His wonderful works and
His goodness to the children of
men," Il will bless the Lord at
all times, and His praise shall
continually be in my mouth.
This beautiful world in which
we live is one of Our Fathers
Mansions: All the forms and
forces of the physical are reveal
atoms of His Word We have only
to consent to go with Him in His
Spirit, and we find it easy to draw
lessons of heavenly wisdom from
the most common objects OF
observation.
The consciousness of being or
having the life hid in Christ, the
realization of communion WIN
God, The Supreme Power, is the
highest and the noblest gift that
was ever placed within the pos
sibility of human attainment, but
the terms are rigid. 1t is more
important than attaining wealth,
or achieving fame. or anything
else on earth.
Men strong or weak, high born
or low born, noble or ignoble, can
have and enjoy the blessed gift
Ability to see and enjoy God IN
all His magnificent works III
nature, but the price must be paid,
yiZ-Denial of all ungodlinesS,
and worldly lusts, abstaining from
the very appearance of evil, and
keeping ourselves upspotted from
the world.
| am thanking God this morn
ing for the bright summer time.
The birds are singing, the flowers
are blooming, the grass is grow

sings are new every morning and

Kindness every morning and at

Tho greatest vision that ever

consecrated life, then easily and
naturally there follows the vision
of the best in everything. Our

have just been in the depths.

THE HEART ON THE SLEEVE

DON'T wear your heart upon your,
IL sleeve"
Wise men have said. But believe
The heart SO worn, while liable
To hurt, may be more pliable!
A heart exposed to every pain
Is one that holds no thought of gain;
1t loves, and gives unstintedly
Affection and true sympathy.
A heart upon the sleeve is one
Laid bare to every bit of sun.
1t may be light or frivolous,
But all. it finds life marveloust
1t may be wise to shield the heart
And walk in safety quite apart,
All hurt and sorrow quite above.
How stingy to be wise in Lowell -

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-09-10

Our lesson centers upon the most
remarkable event in Israers history.
David had plans prepared and prop.
erly assembled which Solomon used
in carrying out his fathers program
of building a great temple for the
worship of Jehovah. When after
seven and a half years the sanctuary
was ready for daily use the first for
NAL opening service was held in con
nection with the great popular feast
of the tabernacles. Jerusalem was
crowded with worshiperS, who came
from all parts of the empire TO par
ticipate in the dedication of the house
of God, which was destined to become
IsraePs chief joy and the glory of the
Jewish people. Thirteen years later
the great event of Solomon's reign
was finally completed, when the deco.
rations of the house of God were all
finished a second dedication was held
Our lesson is connected with the
first dedication. that came after the
walls of the great building had been
completed without the sound of a
hammer being heard in connection
with it's construction. Although it's
plan may have been mainly Assyrian.
1t was closely related to Egypt, es'
pecially in its ground plan and the
erection of the two pillars at the main
entrance Mount Lebanon furnishes
the timber. The silver was from the
mines of Spain. Gold in quantities
was brought from Africa, Ceylon and
Arabia. Huge blocks of stone were
quarried not only in the mountains
of Lebanon but also in the great
caverns under portion of Jerusalem,
that are known locally as Solomons
quarries. and in Bethlehem. Vessels of
brass. then priced as gold. were cast
in the valley of the Jordan. Ivory
was brought from India and Africa.
Phoenician artists stamped the
art of their land upon the
mighty fabric Assyrian artists
cunningly wrought in metal and
wood. This testimonial of Solomons
filial regard and devotion to Jehovah
is regarded by the Mohammedans as
"the foundation of all architectural
knowledge" Builders from that day
to this have exhausted their skill

without being able to reproduce in
it's entirety the House of God" that
Solomon erected for the worship of
Jehovah in cooperation with Hiram.
King of Tyre, whose skilled mechan-
les supervised the work of thousands
of men in connection with it's build
ing.
Opened fer Service.
When the temple was. completed
the whole nation was notified and
all who possibly could attend fiocked
to Jerusalem from all parts of the
empire to share in the dedication of
the temple during the Feast of Tab
ernacles. 1t was a great day in the
prominent part in perpetuating the
faith Of the Hebrews, when scattered
among all nations, because it empha-
sized the center of reality in all
things religious in selecting God S
law as the means of mans worship.
Although the scene may have been
revolving, as Dean Farrar says, to
our modern sensibilities by the
slaughter of bloody, offerings and the
smell Of the burning flesh, the car.
rying into the temple of the ark.
with it's contents of the two stone
tablets of the law which Moses placed
within it, held before the worshiping
nation those principles of human &C.
ton which are still the foundation OF
all human well.being and progress.
In building the temple Solomon met
the needs of his countrymen for a
place where they could give expires.
sion to their deep sense of worship.
The God. whose words were placed
within the ark, has made us to be
filled with the desire to worship Him.
The King recognized in his dedicatory
prayer that Jehovah did not need the
temple, and that God could not be
confined within any one place. The
whole universe is His, and every
chapel, church and cathedral through.
out the world has been erected to
meet the demands of the souls of
men for place where they can wor.
snip the Lord. The humbiest mission
hall proves that any one who seeks
to worship God in spirit and in truth
proves that He can easily be found
by all true worshipers in any place,
but there is something about the
temples erected for His worship that
makes it easier for all to worship
Him in the place Of prayer, praise and
sacriflcial giving for His glory.
The Kings Prayer.
In connection with the opening OF
the temple for worship and the in.

stallation of the ark and the tent of
meeting, that had symboliZed God S
presence with it's smoke among the
people, Solomon offered a prayer that
ranks among the great and perma-
nent prayers of mankind. The King
knelt to pray upon the platform that
had been erected before the ark of
the covenant. Centuries before Abra-
ham, according to the tradition of the
Hebrews. had upon that identical
spot offered up sacrifice to the one
true and only living God in the midst
of his idolatrous neighbors. where
Solomon had erected the temple to
be house of prayer for all nations.
The ordinary posture for the Jews
In praying was to stand. but here for
the first time In the Scriptures the
King showed his humility by kneel-
ing when he prayed. There in the
presence of all the people Solomon re-
vealed his dependence upon God and
his attitude Of expectancy of an an
swer by praying with his hands out
stretched to God-"spread up toward
Heaven"--as if in appeal that he be-
lieved God would answer. We ought
to approach the throne of grace in
an expectant hope Of mind that our
prayers will be answered, specially
name and for the glory OF the Lord
Jesus.
The ark with it's covering Of the
mercy seat is suggestive to both the
saint and sinner to draw near unto
the Father and make our wants and
wishes known to Him. Gods covenant
promises and abundant mercy are
based on His essential righteousness.
that was expressed in the law given
to Moses. The placing of the mercy
seat over the ark suggests that divine
mercy comes between man and the
broken law. The ark declared that
through the unmerited favor of Jeho'
yah an atonement had been made.
whereby it was possible for sinners to
approach the Lord. 1t encouraged all
men to pray and expect an answer to
their petitions, since the ark was SYM
bolical of the Lord Jesus.
Addresses the People.
Rising from his prayer, Solomon
addressed the people, who stood
around the temple. filling the outer
courts, by blessing the Lord for the
nations peace. During 500 years the
nation had been compelled to fight for
its existence peace had come. and with
the building Of the temple that had
been filled with the glory of the Lord
it was suggestive of a permanent
peace and possession of the land.
Israels departure from doing Gods
will resulted in it's not entering into
the rest that Jehovah desired to give
His chosen people.
He called upon the people to praise
the Lord. because He had kept their
