WAS FORCEFUL MEINIST
The International Sunday School 1
Lesson For August 4, "Queen I
of Sheba Visits Solomon I
(By William T. 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

bounty." 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."
