SOLOMON'S WISE CHOICE. 1 Kings 3: 415, Golden Text—Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understand- ing.—Proverbs 3:13. R SR Labor Sunday finds us studying Solomon's wise choice. the toiler's long and constant struggle for their rights and opportunities with the application of the teachings of the Master to their modern problems de- mands more than wisdom. It calls for a heart filled with a love for justice and a passion for human wel- fare on the part of both capital and labor. In the solution of the contro- versies of the present hour moral issues are involved. Not until the ideals and spirit of Jesus aré applied to every issue will the right solution be obtained so that all can enjoy “the best things in life.” Solomon's wise choice should be ours, when united with a deep spiritual love for God's glory and man's advancement in every good work. Solomon “is typical of that class of men who by birth or circumstances come to a great place, but who would have held only respectable and or- dinary positions had it not been for the accident of fortune.” It was due to a combination of circumstances with which Solomon had nothing to do that he became the successor of his father, David, as King of Israel. It was due largely to the planning of Nathan and the co-operation of Beth- sheba, the intriguing and unscrupul- ous mother of Solomon, that David was persuaded to exercise the quick- ness and adroitness of his earlier days in his commands that Solomon be im- mediately made king and become at once the reigning sovereign. This nipped in the bud the plot of his oldest son, Adonijab, to be proclaimed king that very night at a banquet. Solomon . inherited an empire that was thoroughly organized. “It ex- tended from Tiphsah on the Euph- rates to Gaza; two of its outposts were Tamar, in the Syrian desert, and Ezion-geber, at the head of the Red Sea.” He was handicapped by the greatness and glory of David's reign. He faced and quickly mastered the possibilities of an uprising upon the part of his elder half brother, whose pretensions to the crown had the sup- port of Joab and Abiathar. He did not hesitate to cause all who would be opposed to him to be pumished for disloyalty. He inherited the old and bitter feeling of rivalry between the tribes of Israel and Judah that David had controlled by diplomacy and tact- ful administration, but its existence made his task dificult and threatened his throne. Solomon’s Wise Choice. Solomon started his reign well, for the King loved the Lord and followed the institutions of his father, whose interest in the welfare of his poorest subjects was_well understood by all the people. David had been inspired to meet all the perils and problems of his last days because of his convic- tion that Solomon, who had been ap- pointed by prophesy to be his suc- cessor, would be a deliverer of the poor and needy. The molding influ- erce of his father and of the prophet Nethan was seen in the early days of Solomon, “except that he sacrificed and burnt incense on the high hill He may have been guilty of worship- ing on high places that were covered with altars expressive of heathen re- ligions. Individuals lay offerings of worship play a prominent part in the religious life of the Hebrews, pre- ceding the centralization of worship in Jerusalem. 4 Solomon showed the ‘strength of his devotion to the Lord by the multl- tude of his sacrifices to Jehovah at Gibson, where the tabernacle had been located during the troublous times of the judges. The offering of “a thousand burnt offerings” by the King, probably during the first year of his reign, must have made a_deep impression upon the people. Worn out by his efforts, he siept that night near the tabernacle and God appeared to the young ruler in a dream. The character of his ambition revealed itself In his vision. He had sought God’s help, as our own Presidents have when the burden of their task as the Nation's Executive sent them to the Lord for divine guidance and assistance. Dreaming that Jehovah had offered him the privilege of choos- ing what he wished, as a result of his sacrifices, his choice revealed the King’s one absorbing desire. His wise choice revealed his grati- tude to God for- recognizing David with His “great loving kindness,” be- cause of his sincerity, justice and loyal obedience to Jehovah's commands. It is evident that Solomon was impressed by the religious character of his father, who, with the exception of his great sin, that we considered last week, had always been obedient to Jehovah. It is apparent that he realized some- thing of the difficulty of his task. There is an attitude of faith in his reminding Jehovah that it was Christadelphian ChapT IR 'ng‘tf':'i; a1‘5 (M Christadelphian Ecclesia NAVAL LODGE L] Every Sunday. 11190, agm.

In considering |4 through Him come to him & confidence, »d would recognize it to be His duty to fit the inexperi enced King to perform the duties of his office His request for wisdom lacked the deep spirituality that life. Solomon's pract hip hac . born of wedge for his failur when through 1 ges, he found hi: r permit the worship of heathen idol Palestine. His request for w to aid him to rule his empire conta no petition that he should be power to regulate his own that his character would be one of sonal righteousness. His praver marked a new era in the world's his- tory. It was a forward movement, but culture without character can not save an individual or nation. 1self God's Favorable Answer. God's favorable answer shows that Jehovah was delighted in the fact that Solomon did not seek wealth, health, power or mastery over his enemies. Although this was only a dream, it is evident that Solomon by his personal effort attained a scholar’s knowledge in botany, zoology and philosophy. The wisdom he sought was more t knowledge, for he wished to know how to use his position, power and posses sion. “In the Old Testament wisgom is a technical term, signifying a knowledge of the principles and laws according to which God governs na- ture and the lives of men.” Solomon possessed all this and has been recog- nized throughout the centuries for his shrewdness, sagacity and scholarship. “It the fear of the Lord is the be- ginning of wisdom,” Solomon unfor- tunately did not follow always the statutes of his father, David. In lat- ter days, he neglected to consider that “wisdom is better than rubies, and that all things that may be desired are not to be compared unto it." There was a condition expressed in connec- tion with God’s gifts, which in the days of his prosperity he forgot. The Lord in promising him the answer to his prayer, assured him that the bless- ings, which He would give the k would continue if he kept God's s utes and commandments. When Solo mon commenced to forget God and turned to his own selfishness and sin the king’s downfall began. We are taught that “if any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men liberally, and up- braideth not, and it shail be given him.” Our_'knowledge will depend upon our doing His will. . He still treats men, as Solomon dreamed Jehovah would treat him, for accord- ing to the promise of the Lord Jesus it we “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness,” then ‘“all these things will be added unto you.” Unselfishpess is certain to reap God's blessing. The one who sows the seeds of selfishness and sin will reap what he sows. “He that loses his life shall find it, and he that saves his life shall lose it.”” Let us not follow in all things the example of Solomon, who is, ac- cording to Dean Stanley, the chief ex- ample in sacred history of what meets us in common history—the union of genius and crime.” Culture without Christ will ‘not save men. Every per- son who seeks salvation through Him will come into the possession of wis- dom, which will increase as they walk in the way of the Lord and obey Him in their daily life. Culture is valueless it the worms of sin are allowed to eat at the roots of our individual life and national development. REFORMED FIRST ll)ith and Monroe St MES D. 1100 JAMES D.
