THE STORY.
WORLD conquest ! Wh ' not ?
A
King Solomon nslted hlmselt UII
question. A vision of greatness anc
power hll.d . con1o to him , ti vision 0
ono Bceptor ave I' all tbe world nnd tha
Baeptor his , n vision of conquest of till
nations to the cast and the west of 'bl
kit1gl1om , nnd bo the trlumphmit COIl
queror.
Donnlah , the eaptnln of the bests 0
Isrll.el . , I1n been the first to sugges
tbo thought to him when the formo
hnd urged an oxpoilltion ngalns
Rozon , wbo was then ruling at Damal
CUB , nnd who wno to bo feared bl
cause of the enmity which ho bor
King David. Solomon well remen
bored the stirring cnmpnlgn of his f !
ther which had made of Hezon anII
rolentlng onem ' . The latter had bee
one of the JJhlef warrlot's of Hadl
dezer , Icing of Zobnh , and had esca11e
with a comvany ot men when Davl
hnd conquered the land anti had Idlle
10 Hadadozer. At that time Rozon hn
es sworn to bo revenged upon Kin
.t. David , but the opportunity had III
II" come , anti , Denalah , thinking till
'h Rczoq might lllan nn OXllodltia
" ngll.lnst . the new king , Solomon , PI"
n- posed tbll.t . the armies of Israel PI"
d ceod against him.
es
And as an outgrowth of the su
Is
gostel1 camlmlgn had come the bron
.
)1' er vision of It world conquest. WI
JU stop at the conquest over RezoD
nsVhy not extend the borders of Isra
rs to the \'ery ends of the earth ? WI
eti not slgnallzo the beginning ot h
o ( rolgn with a brilliant serl s of ml
' :0 tary expedl lens , such as had marl\ (
. the first 'oars' rule of the Idngs
: n.
oUler Ian d s I n fOl'mer nges ?
King David , his father , hnd' Jell hi
at n strong army , which was ulreal
er Coared by all t110 nations about , nml
el ( was but natural that ho shoulti be III
bltlous to have Its powers furthcr e
by

tlon thll.t . had sueh u mighty warrior ;
It e was llenalah ? Had not the fanlO
of his deede gene abroad , so that It w
Imown everywhere how ho had III
In slngle.handod combat and had sla
no two 1I0n.lIke men of Moab ? And w
be ,
It not also 1m own how ho hnd go :

roul1l1 ntHI hnd lle lro 'cll nol onty
sheOl1 ntHt cattle hut women and chll.
dron as wIJlI ? And then the EI"yptinns
had good reason to know of the
mighty Henalah , for had ho not slain
their trongestwarrior , nCter n des.
perato com hat , his only weapon being
his slaft , whllo the Egyptian Was
armed with /twoI'd / and spear ?
With ouch a leader and with n.n
Imy : which had not lenown defeat for
'carR , where WIlS the fee which could
stand up ngalnst It ? Where wns the
nation whlr1h could not be conquered ?
Such were the fluestlons whleh came
to the mind of the young King Solo.
mon after Donalah h\d proposed the
expel1lt1on ngalnst Uezon , nnd. the
vision of worll1.wlde conquest opened
'
up hofore him.
"Belter sonl1 for Nathan the 1)1'0'
phot ILnlf Zallole the high llrlest , and
tall ( It o'er 'with thom , " came the
thought , which hrought n temporary
check to the glow of enthusiasm which
thrilled his being as ho had pictured
all the magnlficenco nnd glory and
power which would bo his when ho
had brought the whole world at his
oL I
"But why talk with lhem ? " he im.
patiently ojaculated. "If it were 0.
question as to the rollglous ob.
servancos , 01' illo Jaws of the nntlon
it woulll bo well , but what Jenow they
about war ! lnd conquest ? "
And turning with an 0.11' of decision ,
as though that l1nttor waa settled and
out of the way , ho summoned ono of
the servants nnd dlspatchel1 him with
n message to Denalah and the other
chief warriors of Israel that they
should moet him In conorenco that
dny o.t the palace , "Cor , " said he to
himself , "wo must needs Jose no Umo ,
for so "ast nn expedition w111 roqulro
long and careful proparatlon. "
As may well bo supposed , Denalo.h
and the ether otIlcers ot the army
were highly pleased at the promise
ot such oxtenslvo military operations ,
and the netlve worle of preparing tor
the expedition soon aroused unusual
Interest and enUmslasm throughout
the Itlngdom. Not n 'Word of com.
monlation ! or of condomnntlon had
como to the Itlng from either Nathau
or Zadok , although Solomon lenew
that they must have heard of the
plans. Dut ho ( elt ratIler rolleved and
glal1 that they hnd not sought him
out , ( or ho did not care to go Into too
deep an analysis of the motives and
desires which actuated him In seeltlng
n world conquest. Somehow , ho felt
that It would not meet their approvnl ,
and he was glal1 ho did not have to
answer uncomfortable questions nnd
enter into long explanll.tlons . as to his
111ans ,
" ut .ou must have God with you
If 'our plans are to be n success , "
came the voice at consclenco from
within , for Solomoo. loyed the Lord ,
and desired to do till that the Lord re.
qulrel1. "YeA , " Solomon persuaded
hlmselt , "but would It not bo to the
honor amI glory of God to bring all
lclngdoms and all nations under the
dominion of the nation whoso God Is
the Lord ? I will hold sacrlficos at
Glbeon and all the nation shall know
that the Lord Is with me In this
thing. "
So saying , King Solomon gave orders -
ders that ZlI.dok . prepare tor the ser.
vices , nnd on the appointed . day ho
wont thither , with all his cou.rtlers and
the chief mon of his arm ' , that the '
might worship. Day after dny the
_ remonles continued until at last a
lousand burnt offerings had been sacrificed -
rificed upon the high placo. During
all those days of worship and servlco
the 1ICart of the young king had been
slngularl ) ' touched and stirred , and
there had como to hlm.n now reallza.
tlon of the need of nnd dependence
upon God. Ho had come to Glbeon
filled with the great ambition to send
his armies out Into the world and extend -
tend his scepter to every nation , and
one day when the question had arisen
I- In his heart whether ho was willing to
glvo up that ambition If God was not
wltJi him In the plan , a fierce , 1m.
patient spirit had solzed him , nnd the
impulse was strong upon him to forth ,
with lenve Glbeou and plunge hend.
long Into the completing o ( the plans
' . . of the eX110tUtion.
"Dut would you attempt to conquer
the world while 'et 'ou cannot rul (
.our own slllrlt ? " came the "olco from
within.
"tJ.rlth sudden horror nnd all Inner re
vulalon of feeling , Solomon reallzet
the awful crisis which tnced his lIfo
Wns ho rendY for a world conquesl
whllo yet he had failed to conquer hI !
own heart'l Was ho ready to rull
over the \Vorll1 , while 'et ho ball nol
proved that ho could rule rlghteousl3
ever the nation which had chosen hln
ns Icing ? \
With these questions uppermost II
his mind , while 'et ho wns shaping answer
swor to them , ho sought his couch UlIl
night , and In a dream thought GOI
spoke to Mm , nsttlng him what bt
should glvo to him.
It was 0.11 so real thll.t . during all tIll
.elt.rs which fonowed Solomon nove
questioned but that God had vlsltel
hlrIn ( person nnd had given him Ul' '
promise of his blosslng because ho hal
chosen the wisdom \111l1erstnnl1ln ,
of God rather thnn nll the Itlngdoms 0
the enrth. And moro than once , a
the borders of his lc1ngdom extende
m nnd riches amI honor nnd 110WO
l ' . 110wed unto him , did he exclaim
It "Verll ) ' , the Lord hath kept his wor ,
