MrMunro's lecture on " Solomon," in the Eden Hall last evening, was very well attended, and was attentively; listened to throughout In contradistinction to Messrs Keid and Exley's ideas that Solomon was in a spiritually morbid fjtato of mind when he wrote tho book of Ecclesiastes. tho lecturer went on to show that the expressions $ound in this book exactly tallied with those found in Job.in Isaiah, in the Psalms, and in many other parte of the Bibltiy so if Solomon wrote this alien in a diseased or atheistical stato of mind, then it logically follows that all tho other writers wero in the same state. In tho lecturer's opinion the scope of the book of Ecclesiastes was identical with that oE the book of Job, and it was a sort of connecting link, wherein the writer wishes to impress upon his readers that there is a time for everything, and that though for the present many excesses seem to go unpunished, yet in God's own good time He would mete out justice to all.
