1 Kings 6:1-14 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt… Dr. Cuyler, in his "Recollections of a Long Life," has some interesting remarks on church buildings. "I fear," he says, "that too many costly church edifices are erected that are quite unfit for our Protestant modes of religious service." It. is said that when Bishop Potter was called upon to consecrate one of the" dim religious" specimens of medieval architecture, and was asked his opinion of the new structure, he replied: "It is a beautiful building, with only three faults. You cannot see in it, you cannot hear in it, you cannot breathe in it!" Parallel Verses KJV: And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD. |
