Solomon Auointed King. -1 Kings 1;
1-2; 12.
COMMENTARY -L Adonijales at-
tempt to beconac King (1; 1-10). David
was tualertaeing at the age ot teirtY
years, and by the thne tte had reign-
ed forty years he was feeble and did
not have the streugth and clisposition
to Mite an active part in the goVern-
meat. Adonitah was hts fourth eon,
but Ammon and Absalom were dead;
and of Ohileab no record appears
lance that of his birth (2 Sane. 3; 0i
1 Chron, 3; 1), therefore it is con
-
eluded. that he, too, was dead, and
that Adonijalt was David's eldeet Sur,
viving sop. He was ambitious to
become king, and took advantage Of
Il s father's feebleness to carry out his
plans. It appears that he had not
beew held closely la Check be ois
father and was prepossessing in his
persgesa,1 appearance (v, 6). He had
prepared chariots and horsemen, and
footmen to ruh before him, and had
brought to his support Joab, David's
military chief, and Abiathar, the
priest. He had provided for the
celebration of a great feast in the
Kidron valley close to Jerusalem. He
invited all his brothers but Solomon,
and he left out Zadok, the priest, and
Nathan, the prophet, and most ef
David's men of war.
II. His plans frustrated (1; 11-27).
Nathan, the prophet, knew of Adonis-
jah's lusurrection, and he knew also
that ,David had declared that Solomon
should be king after him, for the
Lord had designated him for that of-
fice (1 Citron. 22; 9), Hence the pro-
phet went to Bath-sheba, the nother
of Solomon, told her of Adonijab's
plot, and urged her to tell the king
about it, that he might declare that
Solomon Should succeed him in the
kingdom. But Bath-slieba obtained
a hearing with the king, and a little
later Nathan came in and told him all
that Adonijah was doing, and asked
him if It was his direction that Acton
that was being made king. The pro-
phet knew that David was ignorant.
of what his son was doing,, and he
wished to arouse him CO instant ac-
tion.
III, Solomon made king (1; 28-53).
28. Call me Bath-sheba -She had
withdrawn from the king's presence
when Nathan entered. Stood before
the king -In an attitude of reverence.
29. As the Lord liveth-This was a
usual form of oath or strong affir-
mation. Out. of all distress -David
recalled vividly the many distresses
which had fallen to his tot, and re-
cognized God's -hand in his deliver-
ance from them. 30. Even so will I
certainly do. -David remembered the
promise he had made awl the promise
which God had given to him and was
fully resolved to fulfil what he had
pledged. 31. With her face to the
earth -This Was an attitade of rever-
ence and supplicatime Let my lord
King David live forever -It was the
common Eastern formula. Bath-sheba
implied thereby that in her zeal for
Solomon's succession there was no de-
sire for David's death, but only that
the promise made to her concerning
Solomon should not be broken. -Cam.

Cause Solomon. ...to ride upon mine
own mule -To ride upon the king's
mule was almost equivalent to being
crowned. In. the Eastern Mini it was
an honor ever associatel with that of
wearing the royal apparel and the
trown -Whedcn. It is said that -it
meant death to ride upon the kingse
mule without his permission. To. GI
hon-Scholers differ as to the locatIon
of Girton. Leese suppose it to have
been west of Jerusalem, and others
cast, Dot far from where Adonilah was
celebrating A feast. 34. Annoint him
there king over Israel -The annointing
was an important part of the cere-
mony by which oae was appointed
king. It was a sign that such a per-
son was Made king, and it typified the
bestoWnteat of divine glfte upon him.
Blow ye with the trumpet -To call
the attention of the people to the an-
ointing. God savo King eolomon-
This was to ba the puelia orostamation
of the fact that Solomon was made
king. 35. Ye shall .come ut after hint

This get wbuld contplete the. ceremony.
His occupying his Wiley's throne by
his direction would mean that Wald

Even so be he with Solortion.-The
prayer of Bengali nes comprehensive
David had been great as king in sub-
duing the nation'e enemies arid in en-
larging the territory of Israel, but
Solomon would be still greater in ex-
tending his dominion and in wealth.
08. The Cherethltes, and the Pete-
thitee-These constituted the king's
body guard. 39. A limn of nil oat of
the tabernacle -It is clear that the oil
used for annointing the priestin see
ting them smart for their office. 40.
All the people and they rallied to tha
standard of Solomon. Piped with pipes

Adanlajli at once gave up his effort
to become king and sought MereY at
the hands et Solomon, who oared his
life and sent him home.
IV. David's charge (2: 1-12) just

who was only elueteert or twenty years
of age, to obey carefully all the law
end to make his lingines8 to serve the
Lord. David bad received the pronase

jahei ambition prompted him to an in-
fringement of the divine ordinance,
which was publicly knowa in the
choice of Solomon; yet he influenced
as many as he could to join 'him in
his conspiracy and to aid himin ac-
complishing his intrigue. Nathan, the
prophet. and Bath-sheba, the mother
of Solomon, revealed the conspiracy,
which gave the king time to avert 'the
calamity. David still e held the s,ceptre.
He was a king to the last. He wisely
and carefully marslifiled the affairs
of his kingdom when age and death
were upon him. He did not directly at-
tack the false kingdom of Adonitah.
A few words spoken by him unseated
the usurper and placed the child, of
promise upon the throne,- David's me-
thod was Wisest and surest, It, not only
removed an evil, but it provided for
future good.
11. The succession of kingship "I
go the way of all the earth." These
words express the fortitude of a soul
which had found a nobler inheritance
than earth supplies, -a quiet COMPO -
sure and satisfaction a peaceful self -
surrender into the hands of the living
God. In death David thought of duty:,
He took Interest in Israel's future,
and in the Immediate resnonsibilities
of Ills own 'muse. he was concerned
for the piety and prosperity of his son,
and through him the piety, and pros-
perity of the nation. He dessired that
Solomon should be nobler, better hap-
pier than he had been. He would have
him avoid the errors and evils into
'whi0h he has fallen. The charge de-
livered by Solomon to his father. was
deeply religious in its sperit. Not only
was Solomon introduced to a throne,
but the book ol tile law was placed in
his hands, to pursue, to understand
and apply. Nothing -teas left to his
own invention. The charge was offtcial
rather than personal. Even Velem=
was to remember that he had a Sover-
eign over him. David used no vain
repetitiona when he spoke of "stat-
utes, commandneents, judgments and
testimonies. The whole law was to
be remembered. The haportant aim
of the charge was the right formation
and development ot character. Dur-
ing his life David had been very zeal-
ous for the Lord God .of Israel. His
great aim had been to keep the law.
His ruling desire displayed itself in
death. To him succession in piety in
living and acting faith, was of greater
importance than succession to • the
throne. He was assured that tenet -
once to the will 01 God Inevitably is-
sued in prosperity in the truest sense
of the word. David cared first for
character, next for circumstances. He
was a competent judge of manliness
of character and conduct. When he
advised Solomon to show himself a
man, he attached no low and feeble -
sense to the term. He impressed the
necessity of personal resolution, eelf-
control, integrity against all bribery
and corruption, and a vital identity
with the enduring interests of the peo-
ple, Solomon was thus- exhorted to
prove himself wise, valorous, virtuous
and, above all, loyal at heart to God,
not distorted, crooked or perverted by
sin, note boastful or self-confident.
Such manhood implied struggle, con-
flict With self, resistance of evil influ-
ences, coupled with the assurance of
blessedness. The occasion was most
serious, the eounssi most impressive.

MAX DEVEND. WARSAW,
ilie cexrespoadent of the Daily
Mail at Petrograd teleghaphs:
"Although some of the Witte offleee
and Inetitetions and a certain
number of inhabiteets have been re-
moved from Warsaw, I am informed
that there is ne letention of immedt-
ately evacuating the city In a military
tiense. It is suggested on the con-
trary that the removal of certairt
public offices may be regarded as the
Prelude to a resolute defence of the
place,
"A mere glance at 'the Mai/ le
enougk to show how great an em-
barrassment to Ittpsia is caused by the
large frontal salient gong which the
enemy is active both in the northeast
awl the southwest, One woeldthink
that purely military considerattons
would make it seem advisable to
straighten the front. At the same
time the defences of Warsaw are very
strung, and the region would be a
valuable ground for the employment of
immense armies.
"The enemy'a front although the
rlglitsangle which was formed by the
German -Austrian line at Sandomir
lam not been flattened out, thus giv-
Ing there a line running , directly
southeast from Ilea to Sokal, is still
some distance from Ivangorod on the

toriano Huerta and the three, former
elexican generals and two inerebers; of
his personal staff arrested here eat-
urday on charges ot conspiracy te
violate the 'neutrality laws, remained
in jail here last night. Apparently
no effort was made to provide bonds
for their release. Huerta and his
attorneys conferred at the jail, but no
one else was permitted to see him.
It is understood an effort will be
made to get bonds for the men Tues-
day.
Whether the developments of the
last week meant the abandonment of
a new revolutioeary movementbas
created a division of opinion, even
etmoug those charactgrized isHue
fluerta's adherents. Certain persons
close to Huerta are quoted as' saying
that his arrest has already delayed
action; but others equally close have
said that ahy organized movement
has been indefinitely postponed,
That Pascual Orozco, who escaped
from his guards, Saturday, has suc-
ceeded in getting across the interna-
tional boundary, is conceded by al-
most all of the Atnerican authorities,
and only e half-hearted search was
