' Solomon Dedicates the Temple.--
1 Kings 8: 1-66; 1 Kings 8: 1-11.
Commentary. --I, Bringing in the ark
(vs, 1.11). 1. then Solomon assembled
—The dedication was the grandest core-.
money ever performed under the Mo-
saic dispensation, and one of the bright.
est days of Jewish history. Not only
were the "elders of Israel, the heads of
the tribes and the chief of the faths.re"
summoned, but "all the men of Israel
assembled themselves " (1 Slags 8,1, : ).
"It is an enormous concourse that is
gathered in and about She i fly thy.

Pulpit Com. 2. at the feast—The ftast
of Tabernacles, one of the three great
annual Jewish festivals. month Ella] im
—Also called Tisri, or Tishri, the stv-
enth month in the Jewish ecclesinstrcal
calendar, corresponding as nearly as
possible to our month of Oetioer. 4.
brought up the ark—The net of dedi-
cation began by carrying the ane. •rf the
covenant in solemn procession, with the
king at its head, into the temple, and
putting it into "its place," the holy of
holies. The ark was the root and ker-
nel of the whole sanctuary. It contain-
ed the moral law, Jehovah's covenant,
to dwell in the midst of his chosen peo-
ple. While everything else was new,
the same ark of the covenant was kept,
and only changed its place. The pro-
cession is described in vs. 1-9 and 2
Chron. 5:4-13. Accompanied by "the
4,000 singers and musicians David had
organized, arrayed in white linen and
chanting some of those splendid odes,
the 47th, 97th, 98th and 107th psalms,
the Levites brought the old tabernacle,
the brazen altar, the table of shew-
bread the oandlestiek, the brazen ser-
pent from Gibeon and the ark from
Zion, and put thein in the temple."
0. the oracle—By this is meant the
holy of holies. under the wings—The
outspread wino of the cherubim ex-
tended across the whole width of the
oracle (chap. 0:27), and their wings
touched on another in the middle of the
house. Beneath these wings that touch-
ed, the ark was set down.—Lumby. 8.
drew out the staves—See R. V. The
staves were used for the purpose of car-
rying the ark. It appears that when
the ark was placed in the holy of holies
It was set against the west wall and
. the staves were pulled forward in the
rings, causing them to protrude beyond
the curtains which separated the most
holy place from the sanctuary, Thus,
although the priests could not see the
ark, they could see the ends of the
staves and would know that it was in
its place. 9. nothing.. save the two
tables—On which the ten command-
ments were written. In Heb. 9:4 it is
stated that the ark also contained the
golden pot of manna and Aaron's rod
that budded that these had probably
been Iost while the ark was with the
Philistirnes.
10, 11. Cloud filled the house—"Now
took place the most important event in
the dedication—the manifestation of Je-
hovah in the new temple by the same
symbol by which he had marked the an-
cient tabernacle as his earthly dwelling -
place. A shining cloud, outdazzling the
morning sun, settled upon the house, `so
that the priests could not stand to min-
ister by reason of the cloud; for the
glory of the Lord had filled the house of
God' (2 Chron. 5; 13, 14). Thus God
accepts the temple as his own."
II, Solomon's blessing vs. 12-21, 54-
61. Both before and after the dedica-
tory prayer Solomon blessed the Lord
and the people. He gave God glory, but
for wealth, honor, power or victory to
Israel, but for "rest." Not one word of
God's promises had failed (v. 56). "This
ism distinct reference to Deut. 12. 9, 10,
where we read that 'when the Lord
should have given rest to Israel, then a
place for sacrifice, etc., should be ap-
pointed. That plane was now being de-
dicated, and Solomon saw the proof that
'the rest wee at Iast fully attained. The
permanent sanctuary was a pledge of
settlement in the land of Canaan to
which Israel had been brought from
Egyptian bondage. The rest hitherto en-
loyod had been but partial, but who at
ast the Philistines had been brought
into subjection."
III. The dedicatory prayer (vs. 22-53.)
It the act of dedication Solomon stood
at the head of the whole ceremony. He
was the author of everything from be-
ginning to end—speech, prayer and tiles -
sing. He did not take the place of Jeho-
vah, but web his servant. He had erect-
ed a brazen scaffold, of five cubits (71
(feet) long, five cubits broad, and three
cubits high (2 Chron. 6. 13), and on this
he stood, raised above the people, to
bless .and instruct them, then kneeled
to offer prayer, spreading his hands to-
ward heaven to express the fervor of
his heart, and the largeness of his ex-
pectatione." The prayer consists of three
parts: 1. Adoration for the fulfilment
of past premises (vs. 23, 24), 2. Prayer
that the temple might be a central
place of worship, and that God would
especially bless those who "prayed to=
ward this place" (vs. 25-30). 8. Supplica-
tion for specific blessings upon those
who might suffer famine, pestilence, op-
pression, etc. (vs. 31-58).
IV. The sacrifices offered (ve. 62.66).
A, burnt offering, with its, aceompanri-
meats, was the first sacrifice laid on, the
altar of the temple, and, as in the sim-
ilar case of the tabernacle, was consumed
by miraculous fire from heaven (2
Chian. 7: 12), The large proportion of
the sacrifices were peace offerings and
were mostly eaten by the people, The
vast numbers of people present required
a large amount of food, The great
number of offerings mentioned here
were not offered all in one day, but
during the fourteen days (v. 05). "Sol-
omon kept the feast of tabernacles,
after the dedication; both together last-
ing fourteen days, The brazen altar
was not large enough to receive these
sacrifices, so that, to serve the present
occasion, tbey were forced to offer many
of them in the middle of the court" (v.
64).
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
The dedication of the temple typifies
the descent of the Holy Spirit. One type
of the Spirit is the "cloud" (v. 10), and
as 'the "glory of the Lord" filled the
house of the Lord (v. 11), so we are'
commanded to be "filled with the spirit"
(Eph. 5: 58), and to "offer up spiritual
sacrifices." That which is "acceptable to
God" (Pet. 2: 5) is:
I. Ourselves, "Tour body is the tem-
ple of the Holy Spirit" (1 Cor, 6: 19).
The site of the temple was the spot
where Abraham offered his only sou. As
Isaac laid h''imself upon the altar, so we
are sought to present our "bodies a liv-
ing sacrifice" (Rom. 12: I). We must
"first" offer our "own selves to the
Lord" (2 Cor. 8: Cr) before any other
offering is "well -pleasing" to hien (Rom,
12: 1, R. V,, margin). A little Chinese
boy was sacrificing a pig to a false god;
Turning to a Chinaman near him, he
said, "Is there not some other god that
I can sacrifice my other pig to ?" The
man replied, "Go to B—, and a mis-
sionary there will tell you about a true
Cod." The delighted child started on
the long journey with his pig in his
arms. The little pig died, but the young
traveller walked on for weeks until he
reached the missonary. He was kindly
cared for and taught the gospel. In a
prayer meting, telling how lie came to
be there, so far from home and worship-
ping the true God, he said, "My little
pig died on the way, but the Lord has
taught me that 1 am the one He wants,
and I have given neyeelf to Him." If
we are really yielded to God it takes
but a moment to lay ourselves upon the
altar, but it takes time to consume the
smerifice. The altar -life is a holy life.
The heart is '`perfect with the Lord our
God, to walk in his statutes and to
keep his commandments', (v. 61). The
altar -life means separation from the
world and a growing likeness to Christ,
and a quick understanding, or scent
(Isa. 11: 3, margin), of the "perfect will"
of God (Rom. 12: 2).
II. Our prayers. Solomon's father had
said, "Let my prayer be set before theo
as ineense; and the lifting up of my
hands as the evening sacrifice" (Psa. 141,
2). John saw the prayers of the saints
ascend as incense on the golden altar
before the throne (Rev, 5, 8; 8, 3, 4). The
priestly office is the mark of greatest
likeness to Him who ever liveth to Make
intercession (Heb. 7, 25). Paul tens us
the "first" things that are "good and ac-
ceptable in the sight of God" are "suppli-
cations, prayer, intercessions and giv-
ing of thanks" (I. Tim. 2, 1-3), Moody
knew a little cripple who lay upon her
death bed. She had given herself to God,
and was distressed because she could
not labor for Him. Her pastor, hearing
her complaint, told her that from her
sick bed she could offer prayer for these
whom she wished to see turning to God.
He advised her to write their names
down and pray earnestly for them. Soon
a great religious revival sprang up in
the village, and churches were crowded
nightly. The little cripple heard of the
revival, and inquired for the names of
the saved. A few weeks later she died,
and among a roll of papers found under
her pillow was one bearrng'tne names of
fifty-six persons, who had been convert-
ed in the revival. By each name was a
eross, by which the crippled saint had
checked off the name of each convert as
it had been given to her.
III. Our praise. "By him therefore
let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God
oontinually, that is, the fruit of our lid

ing pimples: They were ugly red, dis-
figuring blotches that ruined the appear -
twee of my face, I tried all sorts of
medicine, but the pimples didn't leave.
I was reeomnreinded Ferrazone and gave
it a trial. I noticed an improvement

giving thanks to His name" (Heb. 13,
15). God says, "Whose offereth praise
glorifieth me" (Psa. 50. 23), Let ns an-
swer as David did, "I will bless tha,Lord
at all times; His praise eltall continually
be in any mouth" (Pea. 34, 1). Not on
my lips, for I must pray es well as praise,
Not only in my heart, but welling up
into my mouth, ready to be spoken in-
stantly and whenever occasion offers
(Psa. 71, 8, 15, 24). The temple was .dedi-
eated in the year. of Jubilee, at the
thanksgiving festival. The Psalmist
speaks of the "sacrifice of thanksgiving"
(Psa. 116, 7). We are bidden in "every-
thing" (L These. 5, 18), a61 "for all
things" to give thanks (Eph. 5, 20).
1V. Our property. We are bidden to
do good and to communicate, for with
such sacrifices God. is well pleased (Heb.
13, 16). If we have given ourselves to
God we have given our property. "Whose
pocket -book is that?" said a, friend to a
business man as he drew a well-filled
wallet from his pocket. "Why, any own,
of course. Whose else could it be?" "To
when 'bhe pocket -book belongs depends
on another question. If you belong to
the Lord I guess the nurse is His also."
"Well," said the man, thoughtfully,
"your rennark throws a new light on the
subject. It never inrpreaed me as it
does now, that I am to earry and use
this pocket -book as my, Lord directs. I
never looked at it in the light in which
you place it." A. C. M.
NOT FOR MOM
SAYS MR. QUIRK
Would Ihte be Without Dodd's
Kidney Pills.
They Cured His Lumbago of Twenty
Years' Standing, and Made Him
Feel Twenty Yearn Younger.
Fortune Harbor,, Ff1d,, 'Nov. 30.—
(Special.)—Sixty years of age but hale
and hearty and with all the • vigor of
a young man, Mr. Richard Quirk, well
known and highly respected here gives
all the credit for his good health to
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
"I suffered for over twenty years
from Lumbago and Kidney Disease,"
Mr. Quirk says, "and after consult-
ing doctors and taking their medi-
cines, made up my mind I was insur-
able. I was unable to work when I
was persuaded to buy a box of Dodd's
Kidney Pills. To my great and happy
surprise I had not taken half a box
when I experienced great relief. Seven
boxes cured me. That was in 1900 and
I am still cured. I would not be with-
out Dodd's Kidney Pills for any
money. I am twenty years younger
than before I took them."
Dodd's Kidney Pills cure the Kid-
neys. Healthy Kic'r.ieys strain all the
impurities out of the blood. That's
why they cure Rheumatism, Sciatica
and other diseases caused by the pres-
ence of uric acid in the blood.
INDIAN RISING.
Sensational Story of a Plot Discav
ered in British Columbia.
Vancouver, B. C., Dec 7.—A sense
tional story in the Vancouver World
says British officers Working among
the Sikhs and Hindus of the Pacific
coast unearthed the details of a pro-
posed uprising against British rule in
India. The story is to the effect that
scattered outrages are now taking
place in India for the purpose of scat-
tering the British troops. The main ris-
ing will take place in April next at Am-
ritsar. Stocks of arms of modern type,
recently manufactured in Japan and
smuggled into India, are hidden in var-
ious districts. The only leek is artiI-
lery.

CATTLE S WW ,NTS.
Large Numbers Sent From the
West This Year.
Winnipeg, Dee. 7.—The average
wheat shipments daily via the C. P.
R. in November were 541 cars, and
during the month fifteen million
bushels were rushed to the head of
the lakes.
"Nhety thousand head of export
cattle will have been shipped through
Winnipeg by the time 1908 draws
to a close, which will constitute one
of the best, if not the very best, years
we have had," said H. A. Mullins,
the well-known cattle exporter. "The
demand from the British market has
been strong and steady all the year.,
and the export beasts are realizing
from $48 to $50 a head. This will
undoubtedly be a very profitable year
for Canadian trade, and ranchers and
dealers will reap a golden harvest."
Up to November 14 the following
were the shipments for the year
through Winnipeg:—Export cattle,
78,923; feed cattle, 3,489; butchers',
8,518. In 1905, 58,972 exl.,rt cattle
were shipped and 6,315 feed cattle;
in 1906, 85,737 export cattle, 223 feed
and 728 stockers; in 1907, 36,541 ex-
port cattle; feed, 608; butchers', 5,-

Array of Oregon Widows, Guests of
Octogenarian.
Portland, Ore.. Dec. 7.—W. C. Brown,
known in the little town of Dallas, Ore.,
where he lives as "Uncle Billy," enter-
tained seventy-six widows at a banquet
to -day. The number included all the wig
doves in his town and the immediate vicin-
ity. It was strictly an invitation af-
fair, but if any were omitted it was by
ins dvertence.
"Uncle Billy" is a widower and is looks
ing for a wife. He was 84 years old to-
day. and celebrated the event by inviting
those he thought possible candidates for
that position. The oldest of his guests
was 91 and the youngest 25. IIe presided
at the banquet and called upon many
of the guests for toasts.
Notwithstanding his four score and
four years, be is active and one of the
most enterprising men in the county in
which he lives. He is also one of the
wealthiest.
Another feature of the celebration was
a shower of nickels he scattered from
the court house steps to the small boys.
He distributed $1.00 in this way. Ere an-
nounced that a similar banquet will be
an annual event the rest of bis life, pro-
vided he does not marry meanwhi]e.
