Have you ever been through any of
the famous royal palaces of Europe?
Have you ever had a guide take you
through Windsor castle, where the Eng

the Tullerles and Versailles, where the
French rulers have lived, or through
Peterhof, built by Peter the Great,
where the Russian crowned heads
lived, or through the Quirlnal, where
the Italian rulers live, or through the
Imperial palaces flanking Unter den
Linden, where the emperor of Ger

zollern family live? These palaces are
something more than domiciles for
kings and queens and princes and prin
cesses. They are treasuries of art and

leries and museums. They are great
libraries. They are filled with price
less historical relics. And they are
built in the midst of beautiful gardens,
where the tossing, tumbling fountains
have myriad; <>f rainbows reflected

where the statues carved by the great

by the many lights by night which
make the midnight as light as the

King Solomon’s tmiaces were the best
example of archil'■ tural beauty of his
time. Tims when Solomon was using
in my text the symbol of the king’s
palace he . is praetioaily saying: ‘‘The
king's p:!:u-e is a treasure house.
There eoine the greatest of architects
and the i st wonderful of sculptors
to work their skill in stone. There |
come the finest artists to paint their
pictures. 'Uicre come the magicians
of the ! iota to bring their offerings of
Damascene rugs and their most ex- |
quisite tape- trie::. There come the'
most w mderfui horticulturists to lay j
| out their gardens. All that wealth and
beauty and human power opn give is
to lie found in the king’s pwaees.”
One morning early King Solomon is
: walking through the rooms of his pal
ace. Suddenly he stops and begins to
study something very carefully. It is
a spider's web. During the night the 1
spider has crawled Into tbe house and
swung a suspension bridge and there
gone to work. T’p and down he has
crawled. Jle lowered himself from the
celling and climbed up from the win
dow sills. He knotted his thread here
and spun his network there. Then a
servant comes into the room and with
a broom he is about to brush this
spider’s web away. “Leave it alone,”
Solomon says. “I never studied one
before. How marvelous is the work
manship of this silken web! Why, in
all the splendors of my palace there is
not a greater wonder than this spider
' web.” Then King Solomon takes out
, his notebook and writes down the
1 words of my text. ‘‘The spider taketh
1 hold with her bands and is in kings’
threads. Then she would stretch the
warp threads perpendicularly up and
down. Then with her own hands she
would put in the fillings, winding
them horizontally in anti out until the
cloth was made. Thus it was a weary,
tedious task to make a piece of cloth
in olden times. While the woman’s
work would occupy days and weeks, It
would take a spider only a few hours
to spin her weh. Thus King Solomon
was comparing the making of a
spider's web to the old fashioned, prim
itive ways in which the women of his
time wove the garments for their hus
bands and brothers and sous and fa
thers.
A Royal Weaver.
But, though the weaving of the gar
ments in olden times was considered
one of the most tedious of tasks, yet it
was looked upon by all true women
as one of the noblest of occupations.
No true princess, no true queen In a
royal palace, was too high or too rich
to perform this duty for her men folks.
In the last chapter of Proverbs an
oriental queen gives a description of
a perfect woman. I have always be
lieved that description was a filial pic
ture of her own mother. What does
the royal author say? “She seeketh
wool and flax and worketli diligently
with her hands.” This means that the
queen and her women made the gar
ments that her husband wore to battle
and to bis kingly receptions. And she
was not the only royal personage who
boasted that the women who wore the
royal purple were the same women
who wove their royal garments. Alex
ander the Great never put a coat about
j his shoulders that was not made by
i his own mother. With pride he showed
j the Persian princes who came to visit
; his court the many lieautiful robes
which were the results of ttie skill of
i Olympias, who was the daughter of a
I chieftain, the wife of a sovereign and
the mother of a conqueror. When the
Egyptian queen desired to make a
present to the Spartan princess Helen,
on whose account the Trojan war was
waged, she sent to her a piece of her
own embroidery. Ah, do not tell me
that the spider that is a strand maker,
a spinner, a weaver, has nr.f a royal
occupation. If the queens and prin-
eesses of old, with all tbe wealth of
the royal palaces, thought it not be
neath their dignity to work with their
I fingers for their loved ones, surely it
is as royal an occupation for the wives
and mothers and daughters and sisters
of today to care for the temporal
wants of their dear ones in the modern
homes.
I wish that the royal occupations of
Queen Olympias might be in vogue
among our women of today. I would
that the needle might continue to be
one of the scepters of female influence,
localise it is the type of female in
dustry. like th;* spinning wheel and the
ancient distaff and spindle. I would
that the wives and the mothers and the
daughters of our present generation
might not feel that their intellectual
advancement raises them above the
duty of looking after the temporal wel
fare of their homes. Our picture gal
leries and popular hooks contain por
traits of women in gorgeous attire, but
I think that if we had an artist to
paint the portrait that is dearest to our
memory we would not ask him to find
the most flaring colors he had, but to
paint the quiet, dull dress that was
worn in our nurseries in which mother
used to put us to bed. We can see her
now as she sat by a table on which
was placed a lamp. In her hand would
be a needle and a darning gourd and a
stocking with a big bole in it. By our
mother’s sifle wouM be a big pile of
clothes which site was mending, and
as we would look at that familiar pic
ture we would say: “Ves, she was al-
protectlng webs. There they say to
the insect hordes which are trying to
destroy them: “Stay out or I will slay
you. Stay out! God has sent me to
protect the grass and protect the crops
and protect the flowers. Stay out! I
am Go4P®sentinel and man’s guardian.
Stay out! Stay out! Stay out!”
A Net For Insects.
A spider’s web Is nothing more or
!c i s than a net set t<» catch the flies
and the locusts and the grasshoppers,
as the fisherman by the use of another
kind of net is able to bring his food
to land. These spiders’ nests are con
structed In the air. An insect starts
to fly or jump. The wing or leg of this
Insect touches one of the threads of
the web, which has an adhesive qual
ity. Immediately that wing or leg, by
being jerked or pulled, brings other
threads of the web Into touch with
other parts of the body. Similarly a
human being sinks deeper and deeper
Into the quicksands with every frantic
struggle to escape. The more tbe In
sect tries to get away the more help
less he becomes. Then the spider,
which has hitherto been concealed,
hurries forth and deftly reaches out
with one of her silken threads. She
winds the insect round and round until
he cannot move If he would. Then
when the Insect is utterly helpless she
gives her victim a fatal poisonous bite
and slays It as quickly as tbe fang of
a rattlesnake can kill tbe trembling
rabbit. Thus God places the protect
ing spider web over the crops and the
trees. Thus God expects man to place
ids protecting webs over tbe home
and the church and the schoolhouse
and society at large. There are great
multitudes of Satanic destroyers ready
to pounce upon them. God says: “Man,
yon must guard these treasure houses
of virtue and purity and truth. You
must guard them. You must not only
bow the knee and worship me. but you
most wonderful symbol of gospel
restoration which is to be found In the
spider reproducing one of its broken
limbs injured in battle. It is the gos
pel symlHil which says, “Though a man
has sinned seventy times seven—aye.
though he may have sinned seven hun
dred times seven hundred and has
seemed to Smash all his earthly gospel
usefulness forever—yet by tbe grace of
God that sinner may be spiritually re
created anti do valiant service for the
Master before he dies.”
A More Wonderful Fact.
Now, a spider has a marvelous power
of recreation in many ways. Wonder
ful is the spider’s ability to fix a bro
ken web. If on account of the rain a
falling stone snaps some of the threads
and entangles them like a snarled mass
of twine, the spider waits patiently
until the storm is over and fair weath
er is at hand. The spider cannot af
ford to waste any of her precious
thread, but she always has enough
thread to do her legitimate work. Like
the manna in the wilderness, there is
always enough food for each day, but
not enough food for two days in the
one gathering, so as soon as the clear
weather comes the spider gets to work
to repair the broken web, and one of
the best signs of clear weather is the
activity of the spider at work. Won
derful also Is the cleanliness of the
spider. Wlten the winds sweep the
dust in great clouds over her web at
once she goes to house cleaning. The
spider knows what a good many house
wives do not know that It is important
to keep herself clean as well as a clean
home. With all her hideousness she is
as particular about her looks and as
neat as a kitten which is continually
washing the fur with her tongue as she
purs by the kitchen stove, but more i
wonderful than all is the spider’s aliili- ]
ty to reproduce an injured member of 1
iter body. If one of her legs is snapped j

tribes of the African Kongo would go

they will also cat their owu brothers
and sisters and fathers and mothers.
That is the reason spider silk cannot
be developed and made marketable
like the threads of the silkworms.
Many years ago the Royal academy
of France tried to develop the spider
silk industry. The silk thread with
which the spider surrounds her eggs
is of a beautiful color, almost as strong
ns that made by tbe silkworm. M.
Bon of Languedoc manufactured arti
cles" of wearing apparel out of tbe
spider’s web. But the industry had to
bo abandoned because the spiders
would destroy one another until every
one of them except the biggest and
the strongest of them had been slain in
their cells. Thus the spider used to be
to me the symbol of ingratitude, feroc
ity and bate. He was the symbol of
all that was cruel and loathsome and
repulsive. I thought God gave to the
spider his hideous physiognomy, his
rows of gleaming eyes, his bloated
l»ody trunks adhering together by a
small connection, as were the two
bodies of the Siamese twins; his many
Jointed, disproportionate legs, which
make it possible for him to travel in
any direction he would without turn
ing around; his poisons which are se
creted at the mandible tips and bis
cannibalistic tendencies which compel
him to live a hermit life, because God
wanted every one to turn from the
spider in complete disgust. But after
I went on in my investigations 1 found
that even tills low, vile, repulsive form
of life as found in the spider is sus

The arachnoid group, to which the
spiders belong, can be traced back as
to their name to a Grecian mytholog
ical maiden Arachne. She was of mor
tal birth and was known far and wide
for her wonderful skill in wee ing and
embroidery. One day she < 1 *al!euged
Minerva, tbe goddess of wisdom, to a
trial of the liberal arts. Minprva, in
the guise of an old woman, tried to
dissuade her in vain. The goddess
then threw off her disguise and the
competition began. Faster and faster
went the fingers. Arachne, In her
pride, wove in her cloth a picture of
the failures and the helplessnesses and
the sins of the gods, as some of us
try to justify our sins by complaining
of tiie injustice of our bard lot. Miner
va, angered by Aracbne’s presumption,
changed the taunting maiden Into tbe
form of a spider, so that, despised of
all mankind, she might go on spinning
and weaving forever.
Oh, is that to lie our fate? Shall we
blaspheme against and turn our backs
upon the Saviour’s pleadings t< r the
higher life and have him say, “Depart
from me, for I know yon not?” Or
shall we be like a spider which taketh
hold with her han&s and is In kings’
palaces? Shall we not dwell In the
king's palaces of God’s love? Shall
we not stop living in the dark caverns
of sin? Shall we dwell in the king’s
palaces of a Saviour’s atonement,
where he will guard us and bless us
and keep us forever with him? It
rests entirely with us where we shall
dwell through eternity. For today the
Divine King bids us come and dwell
with him In his earthly and heavenly
palaces.

beginning she had to make her own
thread. She would take a handful of
wool and stretch It out Into a strand
about two yards long. Then she would
attach a bobbin to that strand and

she had twisted that strand Into a

Don’t you see a spider has spun bis
