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

standing and in riches. •

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.

m. Stafnl OU Age (11:44).
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

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.
