Elite) One of the stimulating Kipling < poems ia called "The Files," and It ( narrates how you mav find all the i new things of to-day In the news- j paper files of long ago. Just now t the world is agog over the "new j woman," and, opportunely the Sun- | day School Lesson introduces that \ forceful feminist, the Queen of Sheba, j in quest of the best. Nearly three thousand years have | passed since this remarkable woman I | traveled fifteen hundred miles from i her home in Arabia, by slow camel 1 pace, across the desert sands, to taKe counsel with wise King Solomon. Throughout all these ages she has been a pictorial figure in proverb and story, and her single phrase, "The half has never been told," is one of the commonest coins current in uni versal speech. Legend, among Mos j lems and Christians alike, has been | busy with this wonderful woman's name; but these fanciful stories in | terest us less than her message to | our own times upon the woman question, which is this: Problems are not primarily prob lems of sex, but of personality. The strong character makes its way, re gardless of limitations of sex br conditions. The Queen of Sheba ranks second only to Solomon in the annals of their time. Even back in the dark days of woman's subjection, there shine brilliant names, like Deborah and Abigail and Jezebel and Zenobia and Cleopatra. These women were personalities, although not all were*| good women. It would be a mistake to let the girls of to-day gain the impression that any material change ia to be effected in woman's sphere or fortune apart from the development of indi vidual character. There is now, and there will continue to be, as the greatest desideratum in the so-called "woman movement" the need for pre eminent personalities, women who can be leaders in the world. Some American Queens It is pertinent to recall that North America has been singularly produc tive of women of force and enter- i I prise, who yet held steadfastly aloft [ I the torch of idealism. These hero- 1 | ines of faith have some qualities I greater than their long-ago sister of i Sheba. One of them, Victoria Mur dock. of Wichita, was pictured, shortly after her death, by her son, ex-Congressman Victory Murdock, in a tribute of singular appeal. X quote from "The Literary Digest" those passages which deal particularly with the spiritual qualities of this woman of affairs: "Beautiful as her whole life was, beautiful as she was, she was most beautiful in her faith. It needed no sustaining argument. It offered noth ing in rebuttal. It never weakened nor grew suddenly strong. It simply was as strong, as enduring, as un answerable. and immovable as a gran ite mountain. She made a courteous show of gentle patience with the oc casional or habitual doubters, but in wardly I imagine that she held the doubting intellect to be meager or sappily immature. "Her life was full of change and • incident, of activity always. She knew Joy in its full measure.—and sorrow: she had lost five children: she had known hardship and ease, ambition, realization, disappointment, but her faith remained a single, stable, fixed point. Nor was it a silent faith to be cuddled out of harm's way. It was a faith as sure and final as Paul's. It put the Keystone of the Resurrec tion In the arch, because it knew the arch would fall without it. This is the faith not only of the gentle soul who does not know why it should be so. but It is the work of the strong soul who knows." A Queen's Woman-way In some degree, there exists in every woman's breast that quality which led i the Queen of Sheba to Jerusalem—the | Insatiable longing for the best. Some times with lesser women, this noble yearning for highest good, takes the I I form of mere social emulation. Com- i ( monly, it incites mothers to send > forth their sons to dare and do ereatly. It is also revealed in the re ligious instinct, which makes woman the chief supporter of the church and temple and shrine in all lands. Every woman is naturally a priestess at the altar of Idealism. God pity the race, I If womanhood fever loses this impulse. I i This dominant motive expressed it- I ! self in several ways in the case of the • Queen of Sheba. She had curiosity, the desire to know. Also she had a sense of responsibility for her office: she wanted, to learn the best wavs of ruling her people. Ambitious for a great court and a great reign, she sought to examine into Solomon's ad ministration. Also, feminine fashion, she desired to t;alk over her problems i with a tcise counselor: the no.-mal j ; woman wants to discuss her problems, I I small or great, with some other per- • son, and, preferably, with a man. The Cablegrams From Sheba | Within a week of the writing of! these lines, meager cablegrams have' ' come from the East, reporting the I landward attack upon Aden by the j Arabs of the Yemen. I wonder how' many persons connected the news with | the Queen of Sheba? Yet the Yemen, i that most turbulent and fanatical sec- i tion of Arabia, is the ancient Sheba;! ; and Aden, the British stronghold at j the entrance to the Red Sea, was once : her seaport. This latest news told of! the discomfiture of the camel corps; j for still, as in the queen's dav, the j camel is the express train of Arabia! —and his average speed is three miles |an hour. To this day the spices leave | Yemen as the queen traveled to Jeru salem, by the camel caravan, the water I for passengers being slung across the animals' hacks in gurgling goatskins. We are so accustomed to thinking r.f the Jewish nation in terms of the present Palestine that we forget that Solomon's kingdom extended clear to | the Red Sea, and that where now j stands the miserable little town of Akaba, at the head of the gulf of the same name, was once the seaport of Solomon. As British warships have lately shown, a vessel can approach within two hundred feet of the shore, so wonderful is this ancient port. Solomon did business by way of the Red Sea with the East Coast of Af rica, with Arabian ports Including those of Sheba. and "with the Persian Gulf of India. So it is not strange that the stories of his greatness should have reached his neighboring ruler. The Gift-bearing Orient Of course the Queen of Shebn bore rich gifts to Solomon: there never was an oriental embassage that did not. It is the custom to this very day. And Solomon lavished even greater largesse upon her; not only gift for gift, but also "of his royal Now For the Last and Final Day of] Kaufman's Wind-Up Sale j Our Temporary Store Closed Permanently To-morrow, Saturday Night!

This after he had made show of his best unto his guest, un til there was no more spirit in her — or, as we say colloquially, he "took her breath away." Then cried the queen, "Behold, the half was not told me." That phrase is oftenest used con cerning the point whtch is the chief application of this lesson. The half hag not been told concerning the glories of the kingdom of heaven, and the delights of the Christian life. Nobody ever acepts Christ's invita tion to "come and see," without cry ing, with the Queen of Sheba, "Be hold, the half was never told me." As the Xew Testament says, "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him."
