BUILDING THE
TEMPLE
One of the Tv/elvo Storie* of Solomon.
BY THE “HIGHWAY AND BYWAY”
PREACHER
(Copyright, lJML by the Author, W. S. £dson.j
Scripture Authority. — 1 Kings
chapters 6, 7 ana 8.
f SERMONETTE. 4*
“Behold, I purpose to build an
house unto the name of the
Lord my God, as the Lord spake
unto David my father, saying,
Thy son, whom I will set upon
thy throno In thy room, shall J
build an house unto my name.”
The high and noble ambition of
David, the father, to find realiza
tion in the willing service of
Solomon the son.
It is a splendid thing for a fa
ther to have visions of noble, ex
alted service which find their
realization in the son. What
greater legacy could a father
leave than the comnr^sion to
the discharge of a great mis
sion?
It is a grand thing to find a
son whose filial love and obe
dience holds him steadfast to
the working out of the father’s
will. How better could the son
display the true qualities of son
ship than in purposing to con
summate the great work for
which the father had planned?
In this respect Solomon was
a striking type of the Christ,
who came delighting to do the
will of the Father who had sent
him. The one plan of his life
was the consummation of the
supreme plan of salvation, pur
posed in the heart of God from
the beginning.
If Solomon was to build a tem
ple of wood and stone for the
dwelling place of God. Christ
was to build a temple, not made
with hands, eternal in the
heavens. His task was the
transforming of the human life
into the temple beautiful fcr the
indwelling of the blessed Para
clete, the holy representative of
both God the Father and God
the Son.
“There was neither hammer
nor ax nor any tool of iron
heard in the house, while it was
building.”—Thus reverently did
the building of God’s house pro
ceed. Ail the material was
brought to^the temple site com
pletely fitted and finished, so
that all that was necessary was
the placing of stone upon stone,
and beam upon beam, each fit
ting perfectly into its place.
May we not gather from this
the inspiring, helpful thought
that we who are being builded
as living stones into God’s tem
ple are being shaped and fash
ioned and prepared to fit per
fectly into the completed struc
ture when all the parts are at
iast assembled. Here in this
life we know not what niche we
are to fill, that remains to be
reyealed. But tike the stone in
quarry far below the temple
te was hewn and smoothed
•id grooved ready to find its
flace at last in the splendid tem
ple which was to be reared, so
ve, here in the earthly pilgrim
age, are receiving that disci
bline which shall knock off the
Jsharp corners, and smooth the
I rough surfaces and groove the
life with the pattern of God’s
will so as to at last make it fit
into its place in the completed
temple.
THE STORY.
HEAPS upon heaps of glittering
gold and shining silver.
Scarcely a Croesus could have
looked upon richer treasure than that
which greeted the eyes of King Solo
mon that morning as he had been led
to the secret store house by the
prophet Nathan.
“And all this my father David gatli
ered?” questioned Solomon, as with
a sort of awed wonder he contem
plated the great piles of yellow and
white metal.
“Yea,” replied the aged man ol
God, thoughtfully watching the fact
of the young king, “it was the one pas
«ion of his life that he might gathei
the treasure which should be rearer
Into a dwelling place for his God.”
“He hath surely made my task ar

“Then thou dost accept the com
mission?” questioned the prophet, al
most eagerly.
"Yea, thou knowest that from the
first day that God gave me to sit upon
the throne of David my father, this
thought has been ever before me.”
“Rut it is already the fourth year
of thy reign.”
“True, but what place had the
building of a temple to the God of Is
rael until the certainty of the king
dom was established in my hands?
These have not been idle years.”
“Nay,” hastily rejoined Nathan, “I
meant not to chide thee with neglect,
for I know how faithful thou hast
been in the discharge of all that God
would have thee do, but my old heart
longs with an intense longing to see
the house of God reared even as
David, thy father, planned it should
be.”
“Then am I glad that I came fJHa
morn'ng to speak with thee concern
ing the beginning of the wrork,” Solo
mon responded, heartily.
"And I see by thy face that thou
hast some good news in connection
therewith.”
"That I have, thou good Nathan.
| and thou shait speedily know that the
thing which my father David so
earnestly desired is to conic to pass.
See!” he exclaimed, thrusting into his
j hands the message which he had re
; reived that morning from Hiram,
i king of Tyre. “See, the timbers of
cedar and the timbers of fir are even
| now being hewn and prepared for

“ 'Tis well. I knew that Hiram’s
j heart was toward ihee in this thing.”

‘*Tfco« art swift indeed, when thou
hast sace begun the work.”
"Yaa, the project absorbs my every am
bitiao. What a great privilege that
to me should have come the task of
building a dwelling place for the great
God of Israel. My heart does magni
fy him this morning. No treasure is
too great to be used in his house, and
so I rejoice as I see these heaps upon
heaps of gold and silver. Verily it
shall be an house of gold which shall
be reared to my Lord.”
“In this, then, it will be no different
from the gorgeous temples which fire
reared to the gods whose images of
gold and silver and precious stones
are the works of men's hands.”
“Thou hast but spoken of the thing
which is upon my heart, and about
which I have come to talk with thee.
The mere wealth of cedar timbers and
gold and silver and precious stones
cannot provide a suitable dwelling
place for the great God of Israel.
There is none like unto him among all
the gods of the nations round about,
and the house which should be built
unto his name and for his dwelling
place should be different from those
reared to the names of these other
gods.”
“True,” responded the old prophet,
fervidly, entering whole-heartedly into
tho spirit which evidently possessed
the young king.
‘‘But in what respect can we mark
the dwelling place of our God with
the reverence and devotion which is
due his great and exalted name? For
the power and majesty of the name of
our God has gone out into all the
earth, so that whithersoever any of
our people go they are known as the
chosen people of the one and mighty
God.”
i rue, again rervialy responded Na
than. and then added in appreciative
tone, as he laid his hand upon the
young man's shoulder: “And thou,
my son, by thy loyalty to the God of
David thy father, and thy care to
tvalk in all his statutes, hast exalted
the name of the I.-ord whithersoever
the fame of thy kingdom hast gone.”
A glad light sprang into he face of
the young king. These words of the
prophet sounded sweet in his ears,
and without any thought of personal
pride he responded:
“Yea. the Lord hath been much to
me, and his blessing hath surely rest
ed upon me and my people. And for
thi3 reason would I rear his temple
so that it shall be known through all
the earth as the temple of the only
and true God, the God of Abraham,
and of Isaac, and of Israel.”
“And shall not this be brought to
pass by the spirit of devotion which
thou dost bring to the work? For
thou must know’ that the work which
wo do becomes marked and glorified
by the spirit with which it is per
formed.”
“Thou hast uttered just the thought
that is in my heart and what could
show more clearly the reverence due
our holy God than that his temple
should be reared in silent dignity and
grandeur?”
"I do not catch your meaning, T
think.”
‘Tt is just this. Each stone and
each timber and all the fittings there
to shall be so shapen and fitted that
there shall not be sound of hammer
or saw or other tool heard upon the
temple site. To that lofty rock over
looking the beautiful valley shall he
brought all the materials fitted and
prepared to grow info a building
where our God shall be pleased to
dwell In the midst of his pe ■;>! ■ No
building before has been reared in
this way, and the people shall know
that the temple of the God of Israel
is indeed holy.”
“It will be marvelous,” ejaculated
Nathan, earnestly.
“Yea, but possible, for the Spirit of
God shall move In the work to the
enlightenment of his servant in plan
ning the work and in liis workmen
who shall prepare all the parts to fit
one within the other."
“And thou hast my blessing in all
this," ejaculated Nathan. “Andihere
will be none In all Israel who will so
earnestly give himself in thought and
prayer to this thing than your old
friend and father in Israel, Nathan."
"Thank you,” responded the king,
uimply. “And now I shall give myseL*
to the work.”
Enterprising Missionary Exposition.
The great missionary exposition held
at Swansea, Wales, recently, was at
tended by more than 20,000 persons
and it was held in the vast hall built
for the annual musical festival called
the "Eisteddfod Pavilion.” There are
six “courts" formed, representing In
dia, China, Africa, the South Seas,
Madagascar and New Guinea. The
actual scenes of these countries were
admirably reproduced under the direc
tion of missionaries now visiting in
or retired to Great Britain, and thou
sands who before the exhibition had
little knowledge of the great results
obtained, are now awake to the mean
ing of the missionary enterprise.
