Our lesson is not the story of'Solomon, but ot Christ, and of Him not in relation to the church, but Israel in her fu- ture glory. If any object to the words in verse 11, "If he commit iniquity," as not being applicable to Christ, it may in- terest such to know that, Bishop Horseley translates the passage, "When guilt is laid „upon him," and Dr. Clarke reads it, "In suffering for iniquity." It is Christ, according to Isa. line, suffering for Israol's and. for our sins. Biehop norsoley trans- lates the last clause of verse 19, "And this is the arrangement about the Man." Luther has written opon this verse: "Thou speakest of an. eternal kingdom_ in whieb no man can be king. He must be God and Man, for he is to be My. Son, anti yet he 18 to be Klee forever." Lot Doreen Christians consider well the three unconitillenal covenants oi Scripture made bY Cod with Noah and Abraham and David, and may the comfort that came to David come to all suah, "Although my house be not so with God, yet . He bath made with me an everlasting coveoant, ordered .in all things and sure''. (IL Sam. xxiii.; 5). The comfort is found - in the faithfulness of God notwithstanding all our un- faithfulneee.

Although little has been said on the subject it is understood that the King's intention is at an early date to consider the question of a royol hesitlence in Ireland. :When in Ire- land he was greatly struck with the beautiful surroundings of the estate of ICylemore Castle, in Galway, which has been suggested as a royal residence.

Mit- chell Henry, a wealthy 'Yorkshire manufacturer, who sat for an Irish constituency as a Liberal. , A vast fortune was sunk in the building of ICylemore, and some idea of its extent ina,y be -gathered fironi the fact that there are 200 bedrooms in the house. The grounds cover thousands of acres, and although not. in view of the sea is within a mile or two of the coast. The castle has reniained uhtena,ted and neglected 100 7514337 years, and the inan who builttlit hardly- enjoyed it. He had made in the grounds two largo lakes in which tall foun- tains play, and in one ,of these the only daughter of -the house was' ac- cidentally drowned while gathering water lilies. Prom that day Mr. Mitchell 1-lenry lived in London at Stratheden I-touse, Knightsbridge. No suitable tenant was found for the property although it has been "to let" for the last decade.
