I. The Queen of 8heba Visits Solo-
mon (w. 1, 2).
Her visit was the result of Solo-
mon’s widespread fame. That which
made him famous was: ,
1. The extent of his kingdom (4:21-
25). He ruled over all the kingdoms
from the Euphrates river to the Medi-
terranean sea, except the Phoenici-
ans, but they were In alliance with
him. This was the nearest to the
realization of the divine promise,
(Gen. 15:18), that Israel ever en-
joyed ; but the fulness of the promised
possession shall be realized when the
Greater than Solomon is king.
2. His great wisdom (4:20-34). it
excelled that of the Chaldeans, Per-
sians and Egyptians (vv. 30, 31). None
of his contAnporaries approached
unto him in knowledge. He had a
singularly comprehensive mind. He
was (1) a moral’ philosopher—spake
3,000 proverbs; (2) a poet—his songs
were a thousand and five; (3) a bot-
anist—he spake of trees, from the
cedar tree that is in Lebanon even
unto the hyssop that springeth out of
the wall; (4) a zoologist—he spake
of beasts and fowl, and of creeping
things, and of fishes. He was su-
perior In intellect to any of his own
or any other age.
3. The temple (chS, 5 and 6). This
was an exact reproduction of the tab-
ernacle, double in size, in marble and
gold. The amount of labor, skill and
money expended on the building was
exceedingly great (I Chron. 22:14-16).
Never before had such a costly struc-
ture appeared.
4. Royal palaces adjoining the tem-
ple (ch. 7). Fpllowlng the erection of
the temple he began the building of
his own house. He was nearly twice
as long In building this as in building
the Lord's house.
5. His commerce (9:26-28; cf. n
Chron. 9:10, 21). His trading ships
went east as far as the Indian ocean,
perhaps even to India; and west as
far as Spain.
6. Army and navy (10:26-29; cf.
9:27). Such wealth and greatness
would at some time provoke opposi-
tion, so he put his nation Into a state
of preparedness.
All this greatness was associated
with the name of the Lord. It was
known that his'.farae was due to his
relation with the living God. No one
ever had a greater missionary oppor-
tunity than he. Wealth and knowl-
edge may be powerful factors for the
extension of the cause of Christ.
II. The Queen of Sheba Astonished
(vv. 3-9).
After the Interview In which Solo-
mon answered all her questions, she
was overwhelmed with his great wis-
dom. She lmd plied him with hard
questions to see If he could measure
up to his reputation, and found that
the half had not been told her.
III. The Queen of Shoba Gives
Gifts to Solomon (vv. 10-13).
As was the custom, she brought
gifts to Solomon, the king, the gold of
which was In value between three and
four millions of dollars.
This was a large gift for thnt time,
but Solomon more than recompensed
her. He gave her all she desired and
In addition, of his royal bounty. While
her gift to him was great, his to her
was greater, even in keeping with his
possessions. God gives unto them
who give their hearts unto him ex-
ceeding abundantly above all they
ask or think (Eph. 3:20.).
IV. All the Earth Sought Solo
mon (vv. 23-26).
His fame spread to all the earth so
that the people came to hear the wis-
dom which God gave to him. They
came with their gifts of silver, gold,

had laid down/ some pretty stringent
rules as to Nellie and her company.
Oscar was allowed to call In the eve-
ning once a week only, and then he
passed the hour or two granted In

there was any entertainment going

| “Nellie is too young to get a lot of

Buxton had once remarked, and Oscar
' overheard her and considered her an
1 ogress, but he was politic enpugh ever
to defend his present sparse privileges
and to try winning her good graces in
’ every way possible.
I So when Mrs. Buxton computed the
sugar needs of the cherry season
ahead, Oscar made a mental note of

i about the picnic we are invited to,
! Nellie?” questioned Oscar breathless-
Iy?4n the bare minute and a half al-
lowed them to linger on the veranda.
I “Oh, yes, and I can go, of course,
