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 eommanded to be "filled with the spirit" (Eph. 5: 38), and to "offer up spiritual sucrifices." Thet which is "acceptable to God" (Pet. 2: 3) is: I. Ourselves.

Adoration for the fulfilment of past premises (vs. 23, 24). 2. Prayer that the teriple might be a central place of worship, and that God would especially biess those who "prayed toâ€" ward this place" (vs. 25â€"30). 3.

The dedicatory prayer (vs. 22â€"58.) In the act of dedication Solomon stood at the head of the whole ceremony. He was the author of everything from beâ€" ginnuing to endâ€"speech, prayer and blesâ€" sing. He did not take the place of Jehoâ€" vah, but was his servant. He had erectâ€" ed a brazen seaffold, of five cubits (7%4 tfeet) long, five cubits broad, and three eubits high (2 Chron. 6. 13), and on this he stood, raised above the people, to bless and instruct them, then kneeled them in the middle of the II. Solomon‘s blessing vs. 12â€"21, 54â€" 61. Both before and after the dedicaâ€" 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 is a distinct reforence 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 _ apâ€" pointed. That place was now being deâ€" dicated, and Solomon saw the proof that the rest was at last 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 enâ€" joyed had been but partial, but who at last the Philistines had been brought into subjection.‘"" 10, 11. Cloud filled the houseâ€"‘*"*Now took place the most important event in the dedicationâ€"the manifestation of Jeâ€" hovah in the new temple by the same symbol by which he had marked the anâ€" cient tabernacle as his earthly dwellingâ€" place. A shining cloud, outdazzling the morning sun, settled upon the house, ‘so that the priests could not stand to minâ€" ister by reason of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of tGod‘ (2 Chron. 5; 13, 14).

"By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name" (Heb. 13, 15).

The temple was dedi. cated in the year of Jubilee, at the thaunksgiving â€" festival. The Psalmist speaks of the "sacrifice of thanksgiving** (Psa. 116, 7). _ We are bidden in "everyâ€" thing" (I. Thess. 5, 18), afd "for all things" to give thanks (Eph. 5, 20). _ IV. Our property. We are bidden to do good and to communicate, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased (Heb. 13, 16).

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 ean sacrifice my other pig to*" The man replied, "Go to Bâ€"â€", and a misâ€" sionary there will tell you about a true God." 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 he came to be there, so far from home and worshipâ€" ping the true God, he said, "My little pig died on the way, but the Lord has taught me that I am the one He wants, and I have given myself 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 sacrifice. The altarâ€"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 altarâ€"life means separation from the world and a growing likeness to Christ, and a quick nnderstanding, 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 thee is incense; 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 ntercession (Heb. 7, 25). Paul tells us the "first" things that are "good and acâ€" ceptable in the sight of God" are "suppliâ€" cations, prayers, intercessions and givâ€" ing of thanks" (I. Tim. 2, 1â€"3). Moody knew a little cripple who lay upon her leath bed.

He advised her to write their names lown and pray earnestly for them, Soon 1 great religious revival sprang up in the village, and churches were crowded aightly. ‘The litcle cripple heard of the revival, and inquired for the names of the saved.

This society has in one year issued over 5,688,000 copies of the whole Bible or of parts thereof, and has spent over $1,100,000. In this connection Mr. Abrahams, as before, exâ€" presses his disapproval of the American undertaking of a new English Bible translation.

An annual convention of the German Federation of Jewish Women‘s Clubs was recntly held in Breslau, Germany. Frau May, of Berlin, dilated upon the aims and activities of the organization, She pointed out that modern social conâ€" ditions have forced women not to conâ€" sider the home as their exclusive sphere, and to take part in communal affairs as well. The federation had successfully established a refuge for fallen women at Frankfort; it was presented by three of its members on the branch commitâ€" tee for combating the white slave trade and took an active part in the work of the Hilfsverein der &utschc Juden. The new general Jewish colonization organization, which was founded in Berâ€" lin at the end of September, sends out circulars stating its object. The new organization wishes not to antagonize the existing organizations, having the same purpose, but to combine them for a more systematic activity.
