THE FIELD OF
BROTHERLY LOVE
_MAU N1.G1A RT N F_ R'S
When King Solomon, the :wisest
man in all the world, was about-to
build the great Temple, he could not
decide which place in all his kingdom
was most worthy to be chosen as a
site for the holy edifice. There were
many broad fields and lovely mead-
ows which had some famous memory
or pretty story connected with them,
but none which he felt was specially
worthy of this great honor.
One night, during the harvest time
of the year, Solomon lay tossing on
his silken pillows, unable to sleep.
From the broad, arched windows he
could see out into the fragrant
shadowy gardens, where tall palms
were quivering and roses waving in
the warm breeze. Far-off nightin-
vitally interested
gales were trilling their songs to the

sang: "Arise, oh, Solomon, arise, and
to to the field which is before Mount
Zion."
And Solomon arose silently, and
flung a dark robe of satin around
him, and took his favorite servant
Benaiah with him, and they went
forth. They walked with magical
rapidity; the ground flew by them on
either side as if they were riding on
swift steeds. In a few minutes they
stood on Mount Zion overlooking a
large, new-mown field.
Now this field belonged to two
brothers, one of whom was poor and
unmarried, the other of whom was
rich and had a loving wife and pretty
sons and daughters. The poor one
only owned a small part of the field;
his house was narrow and unpainted,
and his barn was no bigger than his
house. The rich brother had a large
and pleasant dwelling and two great
barns that were now packed nearly
full with his share of the sheaves of
