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.

1. His Extensive Kingdom (I Kings
4:21-26). 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.

Nearly as many persons have
baptised by the missionaries on the
foreign fields since- the Campaign be
gan as had been baptized during all
.the seventy-five years of missionary
*1?? 1 operations prior to the inception of
thia movement. 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.
