LESSON KOR AUGUST 1
QUEEN OF SHEBA VI8IT8 80LO.
MON.
I.HSSON TnXT-1 Kings 10:1-10, 13.
GOI.DKN TEXT Wisdom Is better tlinc
rubles. Prov. 8:11.
Tho visit of this wealthy queen
from tho region of southern Arabia
hns alwnys appealed to tho Imagina
tions of men. Solomon's kingdom
wiib at tho apex of its glory. There
were no Avars, Israel's borders wore
extended and tho temple nnd those
other wonderful buildings had all been
completed.
The chief valuo of UiIb lesson Is not
In Solomon's wisdom nor In what this
queen saw and heard, but rather It la
In what has, is being, and will bo done
by Christ, of whom Solomon Is a type
nnd who seized upon nil of this glory
to teach ub a great lesson (seo Matt
C: 28-34). Caesar's famous phrase,
ellghtly altered, Is In this connection
quite applicable "I camo, I saw, I
(was) conquered."
I. "Hard Questions," vv. 1-3. Solo
mon is hero a grent typo of Christ: (a)
His greatness could not bo hid (Mark
7:24). Solomon's fame filled tho
known world (I Kings, 4:34). The
fame of Solomon's wisdom, philosophy,
proverbs, poems and knowledge of God
(v. 1) drew to hts court thlB queen,
and we must recall that It waB proba
bly a l.GOO-mllc toilsome camel-back
Journey for her to come to his court,
(b) She brought a "very great store"
(v. 10) of gifts, which, according to
oriental cuBtom, she presented to Sol
omon. Ouv best gift to our King Is
ourselves (2 Cor. 8:5). (c) She camo
to leurn of "the name of tho Lord"
Who had done so much for Solomon
and hla people; to learn wlBdom for
the guidance of herself and her peo
ple. Wo come to a King who pos
sesses all wisdom (Matt. 12.42). Solo
mon had a wonderful missionary op
portunity. God Is today sending heart
hungry people to this lnnd from tho
most remote parts of the earth. Are
we using our privilege to point them
to tho true God and to Jesus, his son?
This queen did not believe what she
had heard (v. 7) and resolved to find
out for herself. In this she is a rcbuko
to those moro favorably situated who,
though constantly beholding the work
of God in human hearts and lives, still
say, "I do not believe." The queen
of Shebn will rise up in Judgment
against all who rofuse to "come and
see" (John 1:39, 45-51; Matt. 12:42).
(d) This visit is a prophecy of that
day when the kings of Sheba nnd
Seba will como with their gifts for
the greater son of David (Psalm 72:10,
15; Isn. 60:6-9). Tho wisdom which
our king bestows in eternal life, "to
know him" (Prov. 2:2-6; John 17:3).
II. "Had Seen All," vv. 4-7. When
she had listened to Solomon's wisdom
nnd heard the answers to her ques
tions, tho solutions to her problems,
and had witnessed tho wonders of his
temple, court and ministers, "thcro
was no moro spirit (breath) In her."
(Cf. Josh. 5:1.) And similar experi
ence came to those three who went to
the Mount of Transfiguration with Je
sus. Solomon's wisdom is fulfilled in
Christ (Col. 2:8). "The house that he
built" is a type of that temple ho Is
building of living stones (I Peter 2:4,
5; Matt. 16:18). "The meat of hlB
table" is excelled by the food on our
king's table, the word of life (Jer.
15:16; Ps. 119:103), his own body
(John 6:55). Our king, too, has his
servants (Eph. 2:6; Rev. 3:21). Their
"appeal" Is not to be compared with
tho "robe of his righteousness" nnd
our "standing" (2 Cor. 5:21) is more
exalted than that of any at Solomon's,
or other earthly courts. Wo are not
servants but "friends," yet we nre
"his ministers" (Rev. 5:10; I Pet. 2:9).
Various translations suggest (v. 5),
"and his burnt offering which he of
fered In tho house of tho lord."
III. Praises, vv. 8-19, 13. (1) By
testimony, vv. 8, 9. "Happy are, thy
men" who llBten to such wisdom, who
dwell in tho midst of such achieve
ments. Ono of tho greatest Joys 1b
to converse with the wise and tho
good. Our happiness is In our privi
lege of standing beforo Christ nnd to
hear hla wisdom (Luko 10:39-42; Prov.
13:20; 3:13, 14); no servant la do
barred (John 12:26). Tho queen glori
fied the sourco of Solomon's glory,
which was all tho gift of Jehovah's
grace (seo 2 Sam. 12:24, 25 R. V.
marg., Matt. 3:17; Isa. 42:1). She did
not seo tho oppression of tho people,
tho temptation to luxury and tho do
cllno in religious Ufa which so soon
led to decay after Solomon's death,
When our king shall reign ho will "do
Judgment and Justice."
Even so our king blesses us abund
antly "nbovo nil, wo can oak or think"
(see John 10:28; 17:22). Tho king
dom of heaven Is greater than Solo
mon's (Matt 12:42) (a) in wisdom
(I Cor. 1:24); (b) in riches (Eph.
3:8); (c) In power (Heb. 2:8); (d) in
blessings (2 Chron. 1:15, cf. Phil.
4:19) and this kingdom Is "among
you."
Men "see" what they nre searching
after; they receive true knowledge
Ithrough experience Wo may seo this
'kingdom and Us working if we let him,
who Is the "light of the world," entw
our boarta and lives.

Leaving out tho flowers of the field
wo must pass on to those of tho palm
garden nnd conservatory to find paral
lels for tho splendors of now ribbons.
Theso latest blossoms of tho looms,
especially tho lovely monotone rib
bons, leave us marveling at their color
and texture and amazed at tho re
sults of Intricate weaving. It is no
wonder that they insplro the artists
of apparel to think out such happy
coquetries of dress as plcturedhero.
The ribbons used for these pieces
are shcll-plnk In color with a satin sur
faco broken by figures woven in,
which play hide nnd seek as tho light
strikes them. One catcheB a waver
ing water line which Is lost, while a
roso leaps Into notice or dots spring
out like stars. It Is all the trickery
of light. Truly mankind has gone
very far in the weaving of silk.
The girdle and buoyant hair bow
shown are made for a half-grown girl,
and tho slippers to add ono moro
charm to lead to the story of tho
boudoir. They are of pink brocaded
satin ribbon trimmed with narrow
Batin ribbon of the same color.
The glrdlo requires ribbon six inches
wide, or about that. There are many
patterns in tho monotono ribbons to
choose from, but those showing small
dots scattered over the surface aro
beautifully suited to young glrlB. A
girdle ltko that shown In tho picture
fastens at tho back with two short
standing loops, and ono longer hang
ing loop over two ends. Theso aro
trimmed in a curvo Instead of tho
usual diagonal.
A bucklo Is mado of buckram and
These hntB nre typeB which ono scea
ropentcd In transparent tulle or laco,
or In the most open and unsubstantial
of basket weaves. They bespeak oc
casions that requlro moro than slmplo

tho shapes themselves aro Indulgen
ces In color, which mny be anything
under the sun their wearera llko and
can get hold of. For It is a colorful
summer and tho devotees of fashion
havo developed a fad for daring
Certainly much white nnd black and
even moro all-white Is to bo seen In
millinery worn with nfternoon gowns
and in strcot and outing hats. But
fashion swings away and strikes tho
other extremo with colors more varied
than tho rainbow dreams of, when It
suits the fancy of those who lovo color
to Indulge In It.
At tho right of the picture a hnt of
erepo georgotto In whlto Is edged with
a black laco of hair braid, Maiden
balr fern of velvot, largo daisies, roseB
and velvet pansles are posed against
a dazzling background; tho roses In
pink and pansles In their natural col
ors, but tho daisies and ferns In black.

Coquetries of Dress
wound with narrow satin ribbon, and
tho hanging loop 1b slipped through It.
The hair bow Is mounted on an elas
tic band eovered with plain satin rib
bon shirred over it. It Is merely a
group of four loops very tightly bound
at tho base, whoro they aro Bowed to
tho band.
For tho sltpporB tufted boIcs aro
bought and covered with ribbon sowed
over the tufted Bide. Tho uppers are
lined with plain, thin silk nnd finished
with a shirred band of narrow satin
ribbon. This is formed Into a little
rosctto centered with a smnll but
ton mado by covering a mold with
tho ribbon.
Short Skirts.
Girls In rather short skirts, sllghtl)
fuller but not really wldo, aro wearinj,
short, looso bnckod coats with turned
back collars and cuffa of fine lingerie.
A small toque of straw and silk
trimmed with closely set flowers looks
very well with a costume of this kind,
and high laced boots of patent leather
and light cloth, or neat brown boots,
look equally well. Tho foolishly high
heel Is no longer In favor.
Attractive Coats.
Tho little coats and Jackets designed
in many shapes aro very attractive
above the full short skirt. Very often
theso coatees aro cut in looso sack
Bhapo, hanging nway from tho waist
lino In graceful effect. At other times
they are cut with ridiculously short
basques, sticking out round the
waist line, and they open wldo In front
to display the daintiest of blouses.
A long 'end of black velvot ribbon sots
off n very gorgeous pansy which
flnunts its royal purplo and gold sure
of admiration.
HatR llko that at the right appear
In soft blues, purples, palo gray or
sand, nnd In blnck or whlto. This one
is In sand color with gray-bluo velvet
ribbon and satin daisies In Bovcral
light colors. They havo dark centers
and aro sot in blta of their foliage
and a few small blossoms. Tho ar
rangement of tho ribbon velvet Is orig
inal and effective.
A flowerlcss model In light bluo
takoa unto Itsolf a butterfly with blue
cropo wings nnd velvet body, which
Is bound to tho shepherdess shape, for
better or worse, by a broad sash of
velvet ribbon with hanging end at the
back. Tho brim is faced with crepe
and a band of it encircles tho crown.
Tho big butterfly la fentured on tho
becoming Bhapo and is likely to be
found somowhore near tbo center of
tho stago among an assembly of flow
ered millinery as beseems a butterfly.
