JUNIOR TOPIC—Solomon's Cholcs. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—Solomon's Wisdom and Polly. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Lessons From Solomon's Reign. Here again we must -go outside of the particular text assigned and make a survey of Solomon’s reign. 1. Solomon Anointed King (1 Kings 1:6-40). David had heretofore failed to show . TBy^eopie v^Ro"'shdu!a be'fltfg**after I him (v. 20). Through the combined appeals of Bathsheba and Nathan, he la now stirred to action. He immedi ately sent for the faithful three, Za- dok, Nathan and Benalah, and bade them to anoint Solomon king. They speedily executed their commission, end soon the people shouted, “God save King Solomon.” II. Solomon's Wise Choice (II ChrOn. 1:7-12). t. God’s Gracious Offer fv. 7); offer followed Solomon’s lavish sacri fice to the Lord. God said, “Ask what I shall give thee,” thus placing very wide possibilities before the king. God, as it were, signed blank checks and turned them over to Solomon to fill In any amount that his heart desired. This offer to Solomon was no excep tional one, for opportunities 'equally limitless are placed before us. God Is saying to every one of His children, “Ask, and it shall be given you.” (John 15:7)., 2. Solomon’s Wise Choice (vv. 8-19). The lord’s gracious offer brought the king face to face with the responsibil ity of making his choice. Solomon did not ask tof wisdom for vain dis play, but for the good of others. He desired Inward worth, not outward show. In this choice, be asked for two particular things: (1) That God’s promise to his fa ther, David, might be established. (2) That wisdom would be given te him to perform his duties. 3. God’s Unstinted Gift to Solomon (v. 11). Solomon’s petition pleased the Lord. Because he pat wlddomT'first God saw that he could be trusted with material goods also.

He ruled over the kingdoms from the Euphrates river to the Medi terranean sea, except the Phoenicians, and they were In alliance with him. 2. His Great Wisdom . (I 4:29-34). It excelled that of the Chal deans, Persians and Egyptians. He had a singularly comprehensive mind. He was: (1) A moral philosopher. He spake three thousand proverbs. (2) A poet His songs were one thousand five. (3) A botanist. He spake of trees from the. cedar tree, which was in Leb anon, even unto the hyssop. v (4) ▲ zoologist. He spake of beasts and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes. ■ 3. The Temple (I Kings 5-6). This was an exact reproduction of the tab ernacle, double la tlxe, executed la marble and gtfTd. The amount of la bor, skill and money expended on the building was exceedingly great (1 Ohron. 22:14-10). •4. His Royal Palaces Adjoining the Temple (I Kings 7). ‘He was nearly twice as long In building these as la building the Lonft house. 6. His Commerce (I Kings 9:26-28. Compare II Chron. 9 and 10:21), His trading ships wjent east as far as the Indian ocean, perhaps even to India; and west as far as Spain. 6. His Army and Navy (I Kings 10:26-29). This was for more than display. He pnt his nation Into a state of preparedness. This greatness was associated with the name of the Lord. It was known that his fame was due to his relation with the living God. IV. Solomon’s Failure (I Kings 11:6-12). Because Solomon did evil In the sight of the Lord, the Lord was angry with- him and "assured him that the kingdom would be rent from him and given to his servant. However, for the sake of David, he would not bring this humiliation apon*'Solomon while be lived. Solomon’s chief offenses were alliances, with foreign powers through marrying kings’ daughters. This com promise weakened his moral nature and he soon followed his wives in the Worship of false gods. ; DR. J. F. LOVE, See. Foreign Mission Board > Indicating the extent to which the foreign mission work of the Southern Baptist Convention has been set for- •vard by the larger proceeds that have come to it from the Baptist 75 Million Campaign, Dr. J. F. Love, secretary of the Foreign Mission Board, reports that since 1919. when the Campaign was projected, the following increases in the work of that board have been made: Number of foreign mission aries on the field has Increased from 328 to 540, number of’ native work ers from 627 to 2,820, number of churches from 505 to 891, number of church members from 49,659 to 103,328, number of self-supporting churches from 143 to 211, number of baptisms per year from 6,635 to 12,611, number of Sunday schools from 760 to 1,447, number of Sunday school pupils from 36,116 to 67,407, number «f day schools from 512 to 79ft, nqmber of pupils In day schools from 15,722 to 92,789, and contributions per jWtr Methodist Push Egtfbwment Fund Southern Afetho^st. Church Pledges J^alief to Superannuate Move- ... , •. .Nearly flight Bullions of the $10,- 000,000 superannuate endowment fund being raised by the Southern Methodist church for the support of the old and worn-out preachers have been officially pledged by approxi mately 4,500 of the charges through out ttil connection. While the sum is to be raised and paid in within a five year period, many of the churches, knowing the need for early relief of the claimants, volunteered to make total payment within one year. Information of the movement has been received by Rev. L. E. Wiggins, pastor of Broad Street Methodist church whose people are joining hear tily in the effort to bring it to com plete success. Pink slips, the information states, are pouring in each day at the office of the Board of Finance, St. Louis, which are noted total sums churches agree to raise for the old preachers. With every charge in the connection doing its full part, it is now indi cated that the total objective will subscribed, and it is hoped final re turns will far exceed the ten millions sought. “The superannuates to be supported by the fund,” Dr. Luther E» Todd, secretary of the board, states, “laid the~ foundations" arnh btrilded South ern Methodism to its present place of influence and power as a great church. Many of them, now old and infirm, were the pioneers who endured the hardships and toiled without ceasing for the Kingdom, and that for little pay. The day has come when we must remember their faithfulness and provide for their comfort.” Every member in the church, from the bishops down, are working for the ni l „ i m .. from $173,372 to $41^,668.

Dr. Love reports. This does not Include Russia, where more, than one million members have come into the Baptist churches In recent^ years. Nearly one-fourth I persons were baptized on the foreign' fields last year as there were mem-^ ben, all told, on the foreign fields when the Campaign began. At the Mme the Campaign Southern Baptists were operating only In Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chita, Uruguay, China, Japan, Africa and Itlay, As a result of the larger pro ceeds made avalable from the Caa- i palgn the board has been enabled te] enter the new Helds of Spain, Jt Slavta, Hungary, Roumaaia, and R« sia In Europe, and Palestine and berla In Asia. This gives to Southern I Baptists a total missionary audience of 900,000,000, or more than one-half | the total population of the globe. Older Fields Rs-Enforcsd But of more significance than entry into tbeser new fields Is the re- ] Inforcement that has come to the work In the older fields, In the esH-j mation of the officials of the Foreign Mission Board. This reinforcement consists not only in sending out many new workers but providing larger equipment In the way of church houses, mission residences, schools, hospitals, orphanges, publishing houses and the like. Summarizing the growth that has come in the forces on the older fields since the Campaign began) the following results are pointed out: Number of churches, 76% increase; number of church members, 108% in-1 crease; number of church buildings, 45% Increase; number of schools, 55% Increase; number of pupils, 106% Increase; number of residences for missionaries, 94% Increase; number of foreign missionaries, 63% Increase; number of native missionaries, 264% Increase; number of hospital build ings, 21% Increase; number of treat ments given, 61% increase; number ol hospital beds, 104% Increase. Much Remains Te Be Done With til the increases that have come In the foreign nHsfon work only a portion of ther program that was con templated tor foreign missions aa a result of the Campaign has been ac complished as yet. It is in the hope of completing this program throngh more effectively equipping the work and workers on both the older field* and the new ones that the represent stives of the Foreign Mission Board are cooperating with those of the 75 Million Campaign ta ad effort to com p’.ete the payments of all sabscriptiopi ,d thia movemeui at this. time.
