place -Idolatrous nations cheSe

Moniee, perhaps from the suppositien
that Sucit elevations were nearer their
gods, Israel had not yet built the house
of the Lord, and they Were worship-
ping ;felPevith in high places (1 Kings
3: 2, 3), Gibeon was the most sacred
place at that time in all Israel. A thou-
sand burnt offerings -This was a great
religioue gathering, Multitudes of Is-
raelites went to Gibeon with Solomon
to engage in the public worehip of the
Lord. A small portion only of the
Slaughtered animal was consumed as
a burnt -offering to the Lord, and the
rernainieg portions were eaten by the
priests and distributed among the
worshippers. Many priests must have
been engaged in sacrificing the ani-
mals, and there can be no doubt that
the people entered heartily into the
worship there offered to the Lord, "In
2 Citron. 1: 2, 3 we are told a little
more about this sacrifice. The king had
consulted all the people, and the great
officers, and went up in a solemn pro-
cession with all the 'people, and the
great officers, and went up in a solemn
procession with all the congregation.
This accounts for the abundance of the
offerings. After this occasion we hear
no more of sacrifices at Gibeon."-
Lumby.
IL The Lord's offer (v. 5). 5. The
Lord ePpeared to Solomon in a dream
-There -ere many instances in the
scriptures of the Lord's appearing to
individuals in dreams to communicate
to them a knowledge of His will. Such
dreams are to be carefully distinguish-
ed from ordinary dreams, for the or-
dinary dreara has no Bignificance. It
Can reasonably be supposed that Solo-
mon realized the weight of the respon-
sibility that was upon him as king of
Israel, and ells prayer had been that
the Lord would grant him the needed
help to meet that responsibility. Ask
what I shall give thee -The offer made
by the Lord to the •youthful king was
comprehensive and unlimited. The
Lord, In this statement, laid His re-
sources at Solomon's disposal. All that
the human heart could rightfully de-
sire is included. It Is easy to imagine
what multitudes would choose it ehey
were given such a privilege. The Lord
knew wliat was in Solbmon's heart
when Ile laid open His resources to
him.
1.11. Solomon's choice (vs. 6-9). 6.
• Solcmon said -He said this in his
dream. Hest showed ..... ....great
ruercy-Solomon prefaced his choice
with humble acknowledgments to God
for mercies bestowed, and a confess
• sion of his own inability to fill the
position in which he had placed bim.
The Lord had shown great mercy to
//avid throughout his eventful career.
In uprightness of hearts -David's
course for the. most part was right,
and for the sins into which he fell, he
bad deeply and fully repented. Hest
given him a son to sit on his throne
--David had several sons in all, but
the Lord definitely declared that his
son Solomon should be king. 7. I am
but a little child -Solomon was prob-
ably about twenty years of age at this
time. He was a man grown, yet he
realized that in experience in great
affairs he was but a child. In this
frame of mind he could accept of the
wisdom that God would directly or in-
directly impart, and his sense of the
need of assistance was evidence of his
fitness to rule. TO go out or come in
these words the king declared to
the. Lord that he did not know how
to conduct the affairs of the kingdom.
8. Thou hast chosen -God had chosen
Abraham, and the people of Israel
were his descendants. That cannot be
numbered -Israel had come to be a
great nation. According to David's
numbering there were 1,300,000 men of
war (2 Sam. 24: 9), and upon that
basis there were possibly 6,000,000 in-
habitants of Israel. 9. An understand-
ing heart -This was a noble choice. It
was unselfish. He might have chosen
popularity, wealth, vast dominion or
long life, but he left himself out of the
consideration to the extent time he
chose for the highest welfare of his
subjects. To judge people -The
Orieretal mind always associates the
functions of the judge with the mon-
arca, as he is expected to hear and
decide important cases.-Whedon.
IV. Gifts bestowed (vs. 10-15). 10.
The speech pleased the Lord- The
Lord was pleased with the nobility,
sineerity, unselfishness and devotion
to Israel, expressed in Solomon's re-
quest. This opened the way for the
Lord to bestow the best gift and to
supplement it with other desirable
gifts. 11. Haat not asked for thyself,
etc. -Solomon, in his shnolicity, had
a clear understanding ot values, and
this understanding -the Lord quickly
recognized. The Lord made plein
what things human nature mend
highly. To discern judgment- The
ability te• hear causes, to weigh evi-
dence and to render just judgtnent.
12. I have done according to thy
words -Solomon's request was grant-
ed. 1 have given thee a Wise heart -
God gave him ability to know a•nd to
Judge. This wisdom was both stip-
ernatural and natural. aVe know
that Solonfon studied and searched,
and thus stored up knowledge as oth-
ers do, but the Lord gave him a
breadth of cotnnrehension and an in-
sight that he did net possess before
that eventful night. None like thee

ment regarding Solomon's grasp of
mind.

Both riches and honoe- Solomon's
was a magnificent reign. 14.• If thou
wilt walk in my ways -Gad gave pro-
Inise of long life to the king, but it
was conditional. The saered histor-
Ian had to record the painful fact
later, that Solomon was drawn away
from the service of the true God to a
great -ext4lit by the asmodations he
formed. What might Solomon had

PRACTIOAL SURVEY.
Topic. -A Prayer tor Wisdom.
L lbased on personal need.
II. Made on behalf of others,
1. Based en personal need. The
ilsrion before us IS the record, of a
dream wince Solomon had at Gibeon,
a celebrated place in Old Testament
history, It reveals witat then agitated
and filled his soul. It affords evidence
of the genuine theocratic spirit In
which the son of David had been edu-
cated. The young king seemed over-
whelmed with a sense of responsibil-
ity. lie was about to succeed a father
who had been renowned as a warrior,
a statesman and a ruler of men. He
was about to reign over a numerous
and proaperons people. The dream
seemed to be according to the measure
of kis capacity. His great soul took
within the ample range of its concep-
tion tile whole Jewish nation, the
eternal .Ruler of the universe and the
everlasting principles of moral obli-
gation. The divine communication at
the beginning of the dream was Solo-
mon's authority to pray according to
the strongest desires of his heart. His
dominant tholight from which spon-
aneously sprang his prayer, was that
of the immensity of his task and his
ucapacity to perform it. foresaw
that there would be snares not easy
o avoid, difficulties hard to • sur-
nount. He dared not go forth 'without
viswered prayer. Ile recognized that
God had made itim king, but so far as
wisdom and ability were concerned he
was still a child. When God came to
dm with so great an offer, the first
thing that came to Solomon's mind
was the image and memory, the Ilfe
and character of his father. His record
was a guide to a right choice. Ile re-
ferred to what God had done for his
father as an example and pledge of
what he could de for him.' It was net
presumptuous for Solomon to take
God at his word. It was not his own
merit that gave him courage to pray
as he did, but the divine mercy and
grace which his father had so richly
experienced; His reference to former
histories in the household and the
realm gave -evidence that he was alert
and thoughtful, Solomon considered
his youth and inexperience. His prayer
NM short, but it expressed living,
ehildlike faith, simple and substantial,
teartfelt and true. His choice was
an act of judgment, a decision of his
will. •
H. Made in behalf of others. Solo-
mon felt that, to take the place of his
Lather and direct the destinies of
Israel, he needed that wisdom' which
God alone can bestow. It was no lit-
tle matter to be called upon to govern
so important a nation. as Israel. Solo-
mon knew that without God's guiding
spirit he could not do it successfully.
He therefore chose wisdom and knowl-
edge to qualify himself for the task.
Higher wisdom was needed for higher
work, for gelding and governing a
nation. Solemon had a lofty ideal. Of
kingly rule before him. He wished to
rule God's people well for their own
good, and the glory of their supreme
ruler. His prayer that he might be
just in judgment and equitable in law.
His prayer displayed a deep interest
in the welfare of his subjects. God
Was well pleased because Solomon
those wbat would enable him to be
serviceable to others. His choice
marked a new epoch. Before his time,
all kingly power was marked by stand-
ing armies, by riches and pomp. 'Un-
der his reign was demonstrated for the
conquests of nations and men. The
prayer of his dream was answered in
his actual history. That Solomon
"loved the Lord" was the best and
greatest thing that could be said
about him. When God•put the char-
acter tent upon him he revealed the
truth of his men relation to God, and
his attitude toward men. His was the
reverent prayer of a yogi petitioner.
It was characterized by gratitude sol-
emnity, hopefulness and humility.
epiritual interests were supreme. Spir-
itual motives were predominant. The
faithfulness of God was his etitnulus
to prayer . In David's dying charge to
Solomon he reminded him of God's
words, "If thy children take heed."
Solomon made that declaratiott the
basis of his plea with God in his pray-
er for personal enlightenment for the
sake of God's people. Solomon's
choice of the best gifts proved him
worthy of lesser gifts. God's benefi-
cence exceeded his requests. T. II.. A

Headless Body Near Sandwich
Points to a Tragedy.
Strained Relations Make Great
Caution Necessary.
'Windsor, Ont., July 11.-investiga-
non is heing made by the authorities
of Wayne county and Trenton village
in the belief that an unidentified man,
whose naked and headless body was
Lound in the west channel of the De-
troit River, Opposite Sandwich, yester-
day afternoon, was the victim of foul
May.
It is the opinion of the police that
the head was severed from the body
before it reached the river. This
theory is supported by the finding of
clotheedne tied about the -waist of
the -body with ten feet of the rope
dangling, as theugh a weleht had been
tied. to it. The condition Of the corpse
indicated that it had been in the
eater several weeks at least. The
action of the water May also have
loosened a weight had it been attached
to the rope,
T116 body is that of a man about five
feet eight inches in height, and weigh -
hug about 160 pounds. There are no
marks by which it may be identified,
so far as the Authorities have been
able to determine. •

TROOES GO EAST
Teutons Are Returning 'Forces to
Poland to Counteract the
Cheat,
London, July 11, --The check, which
the Russians have imposed on Arch-
duke Joseph leerdinand's army in
Southern Poland and the additional
etrain which this has placed on the
German Gen, Von elackensen's army
to the right has postponed, it is be-
lieve in military circles here, the
threatened German offensive in the
west, and there is now a possibility
that the allies nilt be the Met to take
the offensive.
In support of this it is pointed out
that the attacks be the German
Crown Prince's army in the Woevre,
which the German press announced
was the commencement of a pastel
moVeMent forward, beve ceased, and
what fightiug is going on along the
weetern front consists of artillery en-
gagements and a few isolated attacks
and counter attacks by infantry,
which makes little or no difference in
the positions of the opposing forces.
So far as the Germans are con-
cerned, military observers assert that
they are bound to carry out their
offensive against the Russians until
there is some . decisive engaeement,
such as the capture of the Lublin-
Cholm Railway, which, it is asserted,
would have been in their hands be-
fore now if the Austrians advancing
toward the former city had not been
driyen back.
BRINGING BACK TROOPS.
Reports from neutral sources are
LO the effect that to make ;Ailed Weir
efforts against the Russians, the Ger-
mans are moving troops which were
intended for -the western front to the
east. To a eertain extent this seems
confirmed by the statement in the
Russian official report that reinforce-
ments have reached Archduke Fer-
dinand and that Alen. Von Mackensen
else: commenced an offnesive which,
bowever, broken down under the Rus-
sian fire.
While the military critics are still
undecided whether the Russians 'will
make their stand on their present
lines or fall back on the Ilug River,
thus abandoning the fortresses of
Ivangorod and Warsaw, it is agreed
that the counter-attack which they
have developed has postponed for a
time at least ilia necessity for anY
further retirement.
A despatch from Vienna indicates
the fierceness of the struggle which
Is in progress along the Krasnik line.
The Russians have brought forward
strong reinforcements, probably from
the interior, and are making repeated
heavy attacks. Archduke Joseph Fer-
dinand's army has the task of holding
and, if possible, repulsing the Rus-
sians. Additional great battlee, says
the despatch, may confidently be Pre-
dicted between the Vistula and Bug
Rivers.

President Wilson, who Will decide the
Policy to be pureued.
No intimation is obtainable as yet
as to the Course winch the American
uovernment will follow, but there is
very indication in ofticial quarters
that the relations between Germany
aild the United States have becom, esti
stained as to make it necessary to
weigh carefully tahe praseology of the
next communication, and to measure
fully the responsibility and conse-
quences which may be required by
its contents.
That there is to be no surrender of
American rights in the new note is
practically certaiu, according .to the
view taken by officials thus far, and
it is also assured that the German pro-
posals for the immunity of American
passenger ships not carrying contra-
band will be rejected. Just.what steps
will be taken by the United States as a
result of Germany's failure to disa-
vow the sinking of the Lusitania, is
most uncertain. 11 is this issue -the
loss of 100 American lives for which
Germany has disclaimed responsibility
-that has brouglit the situation to a•
grave and critical point.
It has been arranged that Secretary
Lansing would go to Cornish, N. IL,
for a conferenee With the 'president as
soon as the note had been carefully ex-
amined here, and the Secretary had
prepared a draft of the reply. It may
be, however, that the President will
decide to retitrn to 'Washington, in-
stead, and some announcement on the
subject was believed to be likely later
in the day.
Count Von Bernstorff, the German
Ambassador here, will call on Secre-
tary Lansing in a day or two to learn
informally the attitude of the milted
States toward the German reply. It is
understood that he has asked for an
engagement to discus the situation,
and is to be received by the Secretary
just as soon as the latter has examin-
ed the note carefully and made up his
mind on what policy should be pur-
eued.
So far as is known, the German Am-
bassador will make his call without
specific instructions from hie Govern-
ment, merely following the custom of
diplomats when notes have been ex-
changed, to learn the attitude of the
recipient Government and what may
be expected as the next step in the
correspendenee. That there are to be
no informal negotiatione, howevet, on
the subject, has been made plain, and
the Ambassador's call very probably
Will partake more of the nature of a
call for information rather than. dis-
cussion,
The Ambassador Is understood to be
in thorough aceord with his Govern-
ment on the reply, which he regards am
satisfactory, and as lending itself to
further negotiations.

Berlin, July 12, -The internal troub-
les of the Social Deneocrats are caus-
ing interest, particularly
as they are likely to result in sensa-
tional developments waen the Reich-
stag meets. Nobody ventures a pro-
phecy aS to whether the party scbisra
will be permanent, even after the war,
or whether it marks the passing of it
healthy phase, because it is provoking
a nation-wide discussion of officially
forbidden topics.
a he two principal factors differ not
in the ends desired, but as to the
means of .achieving the mutual goal,
whica is a permanent peace, gearan-
teeieg future military, political and
economic superiority for Germany, at
Lite earliest moment practicable. The
differences- ot a few points are inter-
estingly brought out in interviews will
representatives of the Averring No-
tions by Dr. Ernest Myer, editor of
the Vorwaerts, who with Haafe, Lieb-
knecht and Lededour, stands with the
so-called minority in the Secielise
party in the Reichstag, and Dr. Edu-
ard member of the Reichstag,
who is ..:eising a prominent part its
the political decisions of the Reich-
stag, and see:tics for the Socialise
majority there.
Dr. Myer, who, with bis associates,
.has been bitterly attacked as being
unpatriotic, and helping Germany's
enemies, speaking for himself, em-
phasized the point that the enemy
heed extract no comfort from the •Soc-
Janet "minority views.", He said that
the peace talk most efimbatically did
not indicate an internal weakening;
on the contrary, it was proof of the
present strength of Germany's posi-
tion. He said:
"The very fact that the German
armies are etandine en the enemy's
soil leads us to believe tile time is
ripe for discussing how the war is to
be ended. We most emphatically do
not inlVocate the throwing down of
arrns to bringaboat peace. We do not
desire to see Germany crushed or
bea.ien, but we do believe that the
time has eome, and has been ripe for
some months, to end the war since
Germany has shown that she cermet
pOssibly be beaten. We represent the
Socialist minority in. the Reichstag,
but whether our views are those of
only a minority throughout the na-
tion we have no way of telling at the
Present time. We certainly have a
strong following in the large citieg.
We are against any a.priexa,tion and
believe the Government should come
out with a declaration of non-totention
to annex anything as an indispensable
preliminary to perinnoteht per.ee, This,
we believe, woald out the masses not
only in Prance, but in England as
well, in 11 moodfor pattee negotia-
tions. We believe that the first sugges-
tion eould come 'front Germany with -
oat humiliation, in view of her impreg-
nable position. While we Ara irreve-
