SERMONETTE.
Not the least valuable legacy
which a father leaves a child is
the friends he has made. Gold
and silver, houses and lands are
as nothing in comparison with
the true and loyal friend who
stands ready to show that kind
ness and bestow that wise coun
sel which is like unto that which
the father himself would have
given.
"Hiram was ever a lover of
David.” This strong, close friend
ship is the best kind of an in
dex to the character and ideals
of this man, Hiram, king of
Tyre. There can be no ques
tion but that this friendship was
based entirely upon the quali
ties of goodness, and manhood
and honor characteristic of
both men, rather than upon
selfish motives of political or
material advantage to be gained.
It has been said moot truth
fully that "true friendships are
made in heaven.” And surely
on this friendship which exist
ed between this king of Tyre
and King David we find the
brand mark of heaven. It was
of that enduring kind which
when the father was gone was
transferred with warm-hearted
loyalty to the son.
This, then, is the first point
we would emphasize: The en
during quality of true friend
ship. What kind of friendship
*«. trim v»wdi Tins nxe the sun
beam and is gone when the
cloi'd arises and darkness and
trouble come? Who is worthy
the name of friend who lets the
dark valley fix the limits of that
friendship? Friend to the fa
ther—friend to the children!
And so we find Hiram sending
the messrqe cf consolation and
cheer to the young King Solo
mon when he hears of the death
of his old friend King David.
The friendship for the father
shall be perpetuated in friend
ship for the son. Hiram will
prove how true his friendship
to David was by showing kind
ness and encouragement to King
Solomon.
And the other point we would
Emphasize is the aopreciation of
the son for his father’s friend.
Young man! Young woman!
Had you a worthy father or
mother? Then cherish as
earth's best treasure for you the
loyal, true friends they left be
hind. No new friendships you
can form will prove so loyal and
true as those which your par
ents tested through the storms
and sunshine of their busy
lives. Cleave to them, and form
the new friendships slowly, test
ing and proving so that you in
turn will have the rich legacy
of tried and true friendships to
leave to your children. Too
often children cast ruthlessly
aside the friends parents have
won to themselves through the
years.
What a splendid picture we
have here of this young, inexpe
rienced King Solomon finding in
in his father’s friend an adviser
and helper in the great and
noble enterprise which was to
mark his reign.
Young man, you cannot do
better than to make the friend
of your father your friend.

to carry out the will and wishes of his
father? He had seen the young man
but once, and that was upon the oc
casion of one of his visits to .Tern
saleni, but he remembered how he had
been struck by the beauty of the
young man.
‘‘Ah, but it takes more than beauty
of person to make a worthy king." he
had muttered to himself as King
Oavid had brought the young lad to
his side and had whispered in Hiram s
ear that God had promised that the
boy should#sit upon his throne.
And now his beloved friend David
was dead and his son Solomon sat
upon his throne. Would he prove a
worthy son? Would he escape the
manifold pitfalls which would sur
round him in his exalted position?
“Well, the friend of David will be
the friend to David's son," exclaimed
Hiram. “Whatever the young man
may be, we shall strive to show him
kindness for his father David’s sake."
So it was that, among the first to
send words of greeting and encourage
ment ^to the young ruler of Israel was -
the king of Tyre, these significant
words being part of the message:
“The cedars of Lebanon make obei
sance to Israel's king and delight to
await his pleasure."
"It may be,” thought Hiram, as he
indicted the message, "that it will
bring to the mind of Solomon the
great commission which his father
David desired him to perform. Will
the young man realize his great oppor
tunity or will the other things of the
kingdom occupy his thoughts? Per
haps he will desire conquest rather
than the building of a temple for his
God."
iuui >cai» Hfni u.> atiu iu
ram waited. No word had come from
King Solomon of his purpose to build
the house of God in accordance with
the wishes of David his father. Yes.
Hiram had heard of the growing
splendor of the kingdom. He had
heard of the grace and wisdom which
marked the beginning of Solomon's !
reign, and he noted with a certain de
gree of hopefulness that king and peo
ple were devoted to the service and
worship of the God of Israel.
“But how can he delay the build
ing of a house to his God? What can
he do with all the gold and silver
which his father Da1, id gathered? And
the cedars of Lebanon groan in
their desire to find place in a build- :
ing to David's God," and Hiram
sighed within him.
“What is that?" he asked as at
that moment a servant interrupted his
reverie. “A messenger from King
Solomon? Show him in at once."
Eagerly Hiram waited while the
courtier ente.^u and made hTs ob°l 1
sance.
"I will hear at once the message
from the son of my friend David.”
Without further delay the courtier
unrolled his parchment and read:
“To Hiram, king of Tyre: Thou
knowest how that David, my father,
could not build an house unto the |
name of the Lord his God for the !
wars which were about him on every j
side, until the Lord put them tinder
the soles of his feet."
With the,beginning of the readingand
the first reference to the building of ;
a house to the Lord Hiram's face lit
up with a glow, his eyes sparkled with
a new enthusiasm, and he exclaimed j
under his breath: "Blessed be the i
name of the Lord this day which hath
given David a wise son over his j
people.”
The messenger paused and looked
up hastily, but being reassured by the
lively interest which Hiram was tak
ing in his reading, he continued:
“Command thou now, therefore, that
they hew me cedar trees out of Leb
anon.”
“The Lord he praised! The Lord
be praised!” Hiram cried fervently as
the message was completed. And
turning to his servant he hastily sum
moned his secretaries and had in
scribed at once a message to King
Solomon, saying:
“I have considered the things which
thou sentest to me for: and l will do
all thy desire concerning timber of
cedar and concerning timber of fir.”
Which message when Solomon read !
he thanked the Lord and took courage j
In the great undertaking, saying, j
gratefully:
"Surely Solomon hath found a
friend in the friend of David my I
father."
Anti-Alcohol Sentiment Grows.
The Finnish Diet has passed unani
mously a bill providing that no alcohol
shall hereafter be manufactured In
Finland or Imported into the country.
In Russia, of which Finland Is a part,
the manufacture of alcohol Is a state
monopoly. The Finns evidently object
to many things from Russia besides
the government of the czar.
Bravery helps to make a nation i
safe. A nation of cowards, however
prosperous, cannot be a great nation.
Men and women who dare fling them
selves against great odds for the sake
of their convictions; who do not
shrink from crying out against any
evil that may menace the ourity of
the government; who will, if need >e,
sever all political, social and financ ial
ties for love of country—these are i be
heroes to w’hich a nation resorts la
her hour of need.
