NEW FEDERATION FO lin
Baptists Met in Greenville and Forma,
- ed a State Body of Organized
Sunday School Classes.
Greenville. - The South Carolina
Federation of Organized Sunday
School Classes was perfected by the

option of a constitution and the elec
tion of oflicers. All, pastors and su
Perintendents with organized classes
in their churches will be reckoned ex

Biblo conference.
Seeking Harvcst Queen.
Columbia.-The publicity contmi ttee
of the South Carolina narvest jubilee,
to be held in Columbia this fall in
connection with the state fair, is in
search of a queen for the occasion
upon, whom will be bestowed unusual
honors. She will ride in state 111)
an elaborately decorated float and will
be attended by maids of honor. All
expenses 'in connection with her visit
to Columbia will be defrayed, and
she will be the recipient of handsome
gifts. In the words of this commit
tee: "She must be pretty-beautiful,
is a better word. She must be stylish
-unusually, so that she can correctly
grace the fascinating clothes that will
be made for her. She must be endow
ed with rare charm and personality.
"She will have absolute reign over
many thousands of adoring subjects
and upon her 'fair head' will rest to
a great extent the accomplishment of
an enterprise that will make all South
Carolina wonder and admire. She
will have a hard task, but it will be a
truly delightful one "
The leading newspaper in every
county in South Carolina is being ask
ed to select a nominee for this high
honor, so that a queen possessing the
proper qualifications may be chosen.
The committee urges that every pretty
girl in the state send her photograph
at once to the editor the nearest coun
ty weekly.
Close Watch For Red Spider.
Florence.-J. 0. Finklea, farm dem
onstrator for Florence county, return
ed from Timmonsville, where he had
been called to investigate the ravages
of the red spider on certain cotton
lands in that vicinity. Mr. Finklea
found that, the insect has done a
great deal of damage, and that dan
gr from that source to the cotton crop
was spreading by reason of the rapid
breeding of the spider. He looked into
the mater closely and will make a full
report to Clemson College.
Kicked by Mule.
Gaffney.-John Blaskwell, a young
son of Major Blackwell, who lives
near Chesnee in Cherokee county, was
severely kicked by a mule as he was
plowing the animal in his father's
field. Two physicians were soon on
the secne, and statements from his
bedside indicate t'.at he is in a serious
condition.

tients at the esylum (luring June.
There were 50 deaths, 36 of which
were attributed to peliagra.
Concerning the deaths from pellagra
the staff report said:
"Many of these cases reached the
-hospital in a critical'or moribund con
dition and died within a few dafs of
admission. In this way not only the
death rate of the hospital, but also of
the city and county are unjustly in
creased."
Two Appointments on Asylum Staff.
At the meeting of the board of reg
ents of the state hospital for the in
sane C. Fred Williams, M. D., super

unnecessary depression of feeling

farmers will be looked after with the
closest attention during the next few

Prohibition Election Law.
The steering commitee of the
prohibtion forces of South Carolina,
following the ruling of the attorney
general on the use of ballots at the
election September 14 has condensed
the legal features connected with the
election in order that certain points
may be more clearly understood.
The statement follows: .
"There will be two ballots, as pro.
vided by the statute: One, 'For the
manufacture and sale of alcoholic 11.
quors and beverages in South Caro
lina;' the other, 'Against the manu
facture and sale of alcoholic liquors
and beverages in South Carolina.'
-"There will be but one ballot box
If the esult of the election is against
the manufacture and sale, the county
dispensary will be closed after Decem.
ber 31, and the sale of alcoholic li.
quors and beverages within the state
will be unlawful after that time.
"This law has nothing to do with
the 'gallon a mon-th law,' regulating
the importation of liquors.'
"All persons who are eligible and
desire to vote in this election must
have a registration certificate and a
receipt showing the payment of all
his taxes for the year 1914.
"A person to vote in this election
must have r'egistered more than 3C
days before the election, unless he be
comes of age within the 30 days. The
only remaining opportunity to register
for this election will be in August. The
books will be open for at least three
days in August in every county and al
such places in the county as the board
of registration may designate by twc
weeks' public notice. In those coun
ties having 50,000 people or more, the
books will be open for the first 15 daya
of August.
"It is earnestly desired by those fa
voring prohibition that the electior.
shall be a full expression of the senti
ment of the people, boath for and
against prohibition. And for that rea
son, all persons v~io are eligible tc
do so are urged to register and vote.'

LESSON FOR JULY 25
SOLOMON DEDICATES THE TEM.
PLE.
LESS6N TEXT-I Kings 8:22-30.
GOLDEN TIPXT-My house shall be
called a house of prayer for all peoplo.
To teach this lesson properly refer
ence must, be made to the building of
the temple (ch. 6), to the building of
Solomon's Palace and that for his
1Egyptian wife (ch. 7), and also t9 the
renewal of the ark from the "tant of
meeting," in Zion, to its new Ovelling
place in the temple. The t me con
sumed in erecting the temp l (seven
years, I Kings 6:38), the i mber of
men employed (approxitfately 150,
000), and the skill and m<i1ficenco of
the building (I Kings 6;) will serve
as an interesting introduction sto the
dedication ceremonies' proller. Those
present on this occasion d'e suggested
in verses two and three; the time
consumed was seven days (v. 66) and
the condition of Solomon's heart (v. 5)
is seen in the multitude of his sacri
flces. The temple marks the begin
ning of a new era in -lebrew history,
one of great outward glory, though
it was not one of inward strength
as,the speedy breaking up of the king
don and the final captivities give evi
dence. Professor Beecher sets the
date of this event as being "about the
twelfth year of Solomon's reign-say
1012 3. C." There has probably not
been in all time a sacred building its
equal for magnificence or situation.
Read any good Bible dictionary for its
description. It is a type of the Chris
tian (I Cor. 3:10-16).
1. Solomon's Veneration, vv, 22-24..
Solomon's temple was a place of sacri
fice but more than all It was a house
of prayer (Matt. 21:13) and his dedi
catory prayer is the longest prayer
recorded in the Scriptures. In it is
to be found no mention of the temple
as a place of sacrifice, yet no prayer
is heard apart from sacriflce. Each
article of the temple furniture had its
special teaching but the greatest teach
Ing of all was that of God's proximity
and his readiness to hear the petitions
of his servants. Solomon personally
brought his thanks and his petition
before the altar whereon lay the sacri
fice (see Heb. 9:22; 10:19, 20; John
14:6), and even there he "spread forth
his hands" in token of supplication,
adoration and worship. We can "come
boldly to a throne of grace" and need
not priest or sacrament, for we have
one who "ever liveth to intercede for
us," Christ Jesus.
I. God's Word Verified, vv. 25, 26.
Solomon repeatedly referred to the
fact that lie has fulfilled God's prom
ise to his father avid in building
the temple. God if 'a covenant-keep
ing God. Upon this fact Solomon
voices his plea for future blessings.
Every part of this prayer is worthy
of careful st'tudy. Solomon's "there
fore" (v. 25) reveals his acceptance
of God's words to David (chi. 2:4).
This word of Jehovah is sure and
steadfast (Jer. 33: 17-26) and Solomon's
use of God's promise (2 Sam. 7:12-16)
is an\ exhortatIon to us that we base
our p~ titions upon some one of God's
promi es. Praying thus we can rest
assure~ that our prayer is In the will
of Go and therefore that it will be
heard ( John 5:14, 15).
Iiii. G 's Vision, vv. 27-30. See also
2 Chron 7:1-3, 12-22; I Kings 9:1-9.
As the g concluded his prayer the
cloud re.. ing over the holy of holies
grew bri t and dazzling and fire fell
upon and naumed the sacrifices; the
pr1iests s od without in awe and
amazemnent he whole people fell upon .
