We speak now of real'.success, not aceording.to tee kleaJ of tee world. We arc con cerned with what a man is and what he does for God, not with what he may happen to possess. The life of Solomon falls into terse divisions, corresponding to his earjy manhood, middle life and old ago. It moves frtxn ifiory and bletiNiif to tragedy and Jud^ent L Wtee Tenth (3:5-9). We use the word youte to cover tea early years of Solomon’s reign. Ha was now a young man. but tee godly- badeground of his rearing nnd his faith in God showed in his choice of wisdom as God’s greatest gift Sometimea we wish God w fhre us such an opportunity, /^al is just what he has done. Ite hag nppaared to you. not in dreams, in broad daylighL and by his Son Jasus Christ has said as plainly as he could. ’Ask and it Mtall be ^ven yon.’ He has repeated it three times, saying, ’Ask, seek, find.’ And then te has returned to say. ‘Every one teat asketh reeeiveth, and he that aadeete findete, and to, him that knodMth it shall be opened.'

The temple of God which David had wanted to build was, by God’s own decree, built by Solomon. Such a tremmdous undertaking call^ for much in the way of men and materials, and Solomon demon strated his great capacity as a builder in bringing the project to a glcnrious conclusion. He also built great cities (I Kings 9:17-19), and organized his govern ment (4:1-28) together with power ful. armed forces (10:26). dJl this required much money and man power, which the king took by levy from his people. As long as he wailked to' the way of the Lord be prospered, and his country grew in standing and in riches. • God is * interested in the men of this world who are gifted with ability for mighty projects and tx- tensiv4 organization.

Powe Veneer Company Builds Fine New Plant U Spending Nenriy $200,000 On Cooetruction Project At Chernw NEW PARKING METERS BE INSTALLED BY THE Type Win Permit Of I Pennies At Well At I ' h* OpersHfl^ Ckinstrnctlon work on the Powe Veneer companys new plant at Cheraw, which will entail an ex penditure of between $156,000 and $200,000, will begin soon and the plant will provide employment for 100 workers, rtnv«rtiqr J Strom Thurmond announced ti The plant will turn oht high grade furniture panels and paqktBg cases. It will be located on a 18- acre tract near the Junction of the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line railroads at the southern edge of Cteeraw. The governor said that the state research,‘planning and development board, of which Robert M. Cooper is director, had done much work to assist the company in its expansion plans. He predicted that the com pany would, ship its products throughout the country. J. E. Powe of Cheraw and as- aoclates, are to own and operate the plant. Mr. Powe said that he had been materially assisted by the planning board in getting ma chinery, supplies and equipment. -All n^esary machinery bas.lMen ordered and will arrive in tlmeJ[or installation in the new building which probably will be 60 feet by 325 feet Press). The sad thing is that sneh power often toe mndi for tee Qdrit of- lortal man, and be becomes proud, arrogant ai^ sdf-willed-—and then God has to turn away from him.

It would seem that a man who knows tee Lord should grow in grace and become even more inti mate sritb God as ha grows old. One mi^t expect that the passing of years should mellow and sweeten life. But Md to say. it is often not the case. When Solomon was old. he went after false gods. How tragici Littla wonder that one of tee satotliest man this xrriter evar knew prayed constantly as he went on into his eighties, "Lord, keep me from ever becoming a wicked old man.” Other old men and women (yes. and all of us) cmild well pray the same prayer. So it became necessary fbr God to unrest the kingdom out of tee, bands of the great Solomon, and Israal goes on to its history of a peoide divided, of disobedience to Qod,V4U3d^ol ultimate Judgment Of that we shall see more to tee weeks just ahead. Mr. Powe, who with 8. O. Pagnac of CbertLW and Edwin Guy and J. L. Boon of Camden will own the plant, has been connected with the plywood Industry tot a dosen years. He and his assoctetes operate a veneer plant at (Camden. 'Demand for the Powe company’s products is great and orders are now on hand to absorb much of the original output. Mr. Powe ex pects to have the plant ready f<w operation before the end of the summer. Labor for the near mill will be secured locally, he predicted, since he has found by experience that South Carolina employees have all the skUl and abilities needed for manufacturing. A railroad siding is now being constructed and will beTinlshed in time for building materials to be hauled to the site. Governor Thur mond expressed gratification over the expansion of the Powe firm and said he was pleased over the continued trend of South Carolina citizens to build new manufacturing plants. $12,000,000 needed for education, service and research for cancer control.
