Lesson for May 6: l Kings 9:1-7, 26: 10:26-28; 11:4, 11. Memory Verse: Psalm 33:12.\ The turbulent period of the •Judges was followed by the mon archy, with Saul as first king. Rejected of God because of his dis obedience, he was at length suc ceeded by David, whose dynasty continued with varying fortunes through Solomon’s reign and on through the history of Judah. David, mighty warrior, left a wtrong kingdom to Solomon. Begin- sting by asking of God wisdom, Solomon built the temple, and gave .promise of reigning wisely. At this tiine, when the Hebrew monarchy ■was at its height, God appeared a second time to Solomon, with glori- ous assurances and solemn warn ings. Solomon utterly failed to apply iris great wisdom to the affairs of the kingdom and the ordering of his own life. Dazzled by the splendor ot other monarchs, he imposed ruinous taxes, built splendid pal- -aces, maintained a great court and a harem of a thousand women, and reigned magnificently, after the manner of the orient. Neither ships sailing from Ezion- Ceber nor gold from Ophir could save the economic situation of the ■country. His people groaned under their taxes, rebellion was waiting. Tielding to his foreign wives, the builder of the temple allowed pa- San worship in Jerusalem. Then was the kingdom like the whited sepulchres of which Jesus spoke— all fair without but full of cor ruption within, and ready to fall apart, as it did under Solo mon’s foolish son (I Kings 11:11). We are left, then, to think of the i memory verse, and to do our bit and exert our influence as Chris- i tlan citizens toward the building in cur country of a nation "whose Cod is the Lord." .

Meat Control Program. The government’s meat control program to put more meat on the nation’s t .^ner tables, without ad vancing the cost to housewives is being initiated in South Carolina, OPA State Director E. H. Talbert, in Columbia, said today. This new control system, results rom the heavy pressure of a tre mendous demand for meat by the armed forces and the increasing consumer demand from meat scarce areas, on an already limit ed supply of meat, he said. It will not affect ceiling prices of meat to housewives, he assured. “The plan sends more meat through federally inspected slaughter houses, which can ship it across state lines. Non-federal- ly inspected meat can not be transported inter-state," he ex plained, “and that results in an oversupply in meat slaughtering a- reas and a scarcity elsewhere." Permits will be issued by the Dis trict OPA Office in Columbia to all non-federally inspected slaugh terers and packing houses which sold more than 6,000 pounds of meat last year. Quotas will be based on the amount of meat for which ration points were surren dered to OPA, * he said. Farm slaughterers, who sold less than 6,000 pounds last year will obtain farm slaughtering permits from their War Price and Rationing Boards. Farmers who slaughter meat for their home use are not affected, he pointed cut.
