By deliberate choice the one may array himself on the eide of civic purity, a.nd become an gamiest exponent of everyreform movement, m the other ay ain himself to the corrupting forces of society and be found among those to whom personal gain is more than purity or honor, T,he one may finally inherit life eter- nal, the other may go away into everlasting punishment. How import- ant, tnen, that the right choice be made. Tne aba,ce or Solomon. God did not compel Solomon to choose as he did. He gave bim the privilege of deciding for himself, and of expressing nix OWn preference. Solomon was young and iuexperienced. As he Was warmly twenty years of age, it was hardy to be expected that he would make so perfect and excellent a choice. There were a thousand other things that most men would have chosen before wisdom. 1. Solomon might have chosen the gift of an extensive empire. 2. Or greater wealth than man ever possessed. 3. Or a life of luxurious ease, ling extended beyond that of his fellow men. He knew that the one gift he most needed was not in the power of princes or million- aires to grant. God alone could grant It, and now when the d_ or of oppor- tunity was fully opened to him he entered at once and besought the in- valu.a.ble gift o'I wisdom and of an understanding ,heart.; The excellence of heavenly wisdom. 1. Its character : It is pure, peace- able, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy, full of good fruits, without partiality, without hypoc- risy. 2. Its, value: It is 50 ornaaneut of grace to the bead ; the merchan- dise of it is better than the mer- chandise of silver ; the gain thereof is better than fine gold ; it is more precious than rubies ; all the things than: can be desired are not to be compared unto it-• 3.
