Not all people begin with every thing; but King Solomon did. Talk of being born with a gold spoon in the mouth! Little Solomon would have choked with all the sets of gold spoons that belonged to him. He was the king who had every thing done for him. everything all arranged He did not have to carve out a king dom; -hxs father. David had done that. He did not have "to develop an ixmy; hia father had done that too. He jiid Dr. Foreman not have to try to be rich: be was born wealthy. He was the favorite son of his father’s favorite wife; the strongest forces in harem politics (always a power in bar baric countries) -were on his side. Strength Has Its Dangers „ Solomon -had better than a. scheming mother on bis side; God was with him. The beautiful story of -Solomon's dream, in 1 Kings 3, shows the young king at his best. Yet the story of his reign, in spite of all Its magnificent display. In spite of all the peace and prosper ity, IS'in the long run a story of decay and - degeneration. He was like a great rocket leaving Its launching pad In a blaze of light, yet going off-course and bringing down in its crash many a hope and expectation of success. . Why was this ? The story of Sol omon tells us something about power and Its perils. Most people think of power as a sort of in surance, and so we seize every chance to increase opr power Few powerful men are content with the power they have. They are always grasping for more. - Tha Power of Bad Influoneo One danger is that if a man is specially powerful, everything ha does will be copied by lesser men. Now Is The Time . ..
