SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON BY REV. M. P. HODGES Leaaon for July 0, 1022. Subjoct?"Daniel interprets Nebu chadnezzar's Dream." Golden Text?"The kingdom's of this world are become the kingdoms of oar Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign forever and ever."? Rev. 11:16. Time?800 B. C. Place?Babylon. If we'study the Book of Daniel we cannot help but be charmed by the i style of the writings therein. This book has been the battle-ground over which the critics have fought for cen turies and doubltleas will - * continue. The critics have done their utmost to change the date of the writings of this wonderful book; and thereby make it a matter of history instead of < prophecy. All the critics of the ages I may march around this book and try with their worldly wisdom to tear it < to pieces; but when all the critics are t dead and rotten in the earth the book * will stand, like the eternal rocks for- < ever. 1 Two important characters are brought to the attention of the reader I in this lesson. It ia well for ua to 1 study their lives for a little and see 1 the difference in their makeup. The I prophet Daniel was the second son i of David, born unto him in Hebron. < Little is known of his history except I what is revealed from the book bear- t ing his name. As a youth he was < carried captive to Babylon in the third year of Jehikam 605 B. C. There he < was placed in the court of Nebuchan- ' ezsar, and became versed in the t science of the Chaldeans, attaining a ? wisdom superior to their own. Neb- < uchadnezzar, or more properly Nebu- > chadrezzar, was son and successor of ! Nabopolassar the founder of the t Babylonian Empire 605-562 B. C. ' Space forbids the giving of much in- ? teresting history connected with this ' old wicked monarch. He besieged < Jerusalem for the third time. This r connects us with the lessons of the 8 past quarter. Here this old monarch I as he stands and makes his boast: "Is I not this great Babylon which I have ' built?"?Daniel 4:30. This compris- ' ed more than twenty temples, excava- r tion of canals, construction of quays, 1 reservoirs, aqueducts, vast embank- t ments and celebrated gardens. Much h AVAOWnfinn ilnvtStn 1 QAO AQ & W1 MIC CAVOfaVIVII UUIIU^ 14TVW Vtf have proved that the description of his 9 grandeur has not been exage rated. I Here we leave these scattered frag- c ments of his history and go to the * lesson proper. 1 Soon after Daniel arrives at Baby- e ion, the testing time comes to him. T Nebuchadnezzar was the greatest rul- ?' er of his time, most of the then known P world was under bis domain. Recent a years of excavation work show his name inscribed on most of the tablets. ? No prouder man ever lived than this y ruler, Nebuchdnezzaar. In the second > year of his reign God speaks to him * through Daniel, now only a boy. t ?God's eye was ever on this old proud, c haughty king. Man has never had c auch high authority that he has not * had to account to almightly God. The 1 image of our lessons today is God 3 speaking to this heathern king, but the < dream went from him; consequently 1 there was trobule in the palace. The 1 king calls for the wise men of his 1 realm to interpret the dream?either 1 do his bidding or die. This command from the king of course involved f Daniel and his three young compan- 1 ions; in the face of the king and all 1 his threats they were not disturbed in the least however. Can you in these moderit times picture these three Jew- , ish boys fasting and praying for light 1 from heaven in order that they might j attend to the king's important matter. 1 They seem to be -in no hurry, they 1 take time to get ready and when God directs they act in accordance with His will. These boys met the require ments and the agnozing prayer moved the great heart of the eternal God. They do not fail to give God the praise for answered prayer. How often we pray for certain things and then fail to return thanks; taking it for grant ed that it was only God's business to give us what we ask, as if He were under special obligations to us. Their prayer was seasoned with faith and gratitude. Daniel is now in the presence of the King. The question of the king is pointed direct to Dan'l:"Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpre tation thereof?" Daniel cannot do this, neither can any other earthly wisdom. "There is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar yrhat shall be in the 'atter days." Daniel Is modest in the matter and ? 'jjftoka no opportunity to display his wisdom. He ascribes to Jehovah all thq honor-' Can you for one moment unharness all your imagination and sue this boy standing face to face with the ruler of the then known world? Can you see the exoression playing heroes the fgee of this old begthern monarch as this hoy relates the mean ing of this dream in Its entirety? No doubt Nebuchadnezzar was amazed : V. beyond measure because this is some thing new under the sun, the like of which has never been seen nor l)eard before. Here studs face to face the mightiest of all rulers and a Hebrew boy. God has drawn the canvass and painted this picture for men to read, one that will last as long as time shall last. "Thou are this head of gold" which meant the Chaldean dynasty to which Ngbuchadneszar belonged, but this must fall before the Fedea and Persians under king Cyrus, this repre sented by the chest and arms of silver. This dual dynasty must give way un der empire with Alexander the Great, represented by the belly and thigs of brass. The legs of iron represented the great Roman empire; would over throw the Grecian empire and begin its world rule. The feet and toes of clay and iron mixed, represented the if rear Rqman empire after it was di vided into a number of smaller king doms; these could not be united into any solid government. The interpre tation of this dream has been going an ever since, tRroughout all the cen turies. Daniel interpreted the king's dream !>ut the vision is not yet complete. Nebusahdneuar is still standing be Fore this wonderful image; note what le saw as he stood in wonder and imasement: He saw a great stone rut out of the mountain without tands, it began to roll and crush all hese kingdoms, and Anally grew to be i great mountain over all the earth. If we fail to get some conception if the latter part of this vision we ihall fail to get the heart and core of he lesson. This stone refers to lothing more than the "Kingdom of iur Lord, and of His Christ" There s a teaching in the world that this itone has not yet begun to roll; but hat it is waiting for the Millenium. Phis stone was cut out by the Divine irtisan in beginning; "In the begin ling was the Word, and the Word was 3od; and the Word was in the begin ling with God"John 1:1,2. This tone has been in operation for ages. Cingdoms have more than once been round to powder by this stone, they rill never rise again because there is lothing left out of which they can ise. Thank God this stone is rolling iow and will continue till it covers he whole earth. "For the earth shall ia j.vll * s.1? t 1 "c ?uu va mc ftuvwicugc ui me uw?> i the waters cover the sea"-Isaiah 11: '? "Jesus Christ shall be known to he ends of the earth. The time is oming when he shall be crowned ting of Kings and Lord of Lords, 'his old earth is sick from sin, neaus ated and full of putrefaction and ottenness to the core; but there is no idication that men are ready to re ent. What we need is the presence nd power of earth's King and Savior. Before we leave this lesson we de ire to call the attention of every 'oung man to the test put to Daniel n the first chapter of his book. See iow true he was to the principles of ruth and soberness. 0 God help iur young men today! To the old loper who walks the streets and tell nen that prohibition is a failure we vould say take to the tall timber with rour damnable teachings. These old topers would have you believe that nen are worse off without their drink; vhen they know that reason and com non sense based on the teachings of Sod's word make them out a liar. Their business is outlawed by public lentiment and is dying a hard death; til they can do is to minister as best hey can from their false argument. A substitute for cardboard and wood in boxes is a chemical composi tion of sawdust and ashes. The fiin ished boxes are light, washable, sani tary and non-poisonous. They are waterproof and as asbestos and can be made in any degree of flexibility or texture, either as hard as oak, tough as metal or pliable as cardboard. A pound of the substance from which the boxes are made costs not more than five cents. Although a powerful reconstruct ive tonic, Tanlac contains no harmful ingredients which are so often found in other medicines. It can therefore be taken by delicate children with splendid results. C.

Each of these divisions has Its own story, bbt that of the two-piece suit com pels most attention; none of the oth ers has. the same wide-spread follow ing. The story of the two-piece tailor made Is long and Interesting. It be gins with plain utility suits for street or country or travel, and ends with formal suits, that draw style In spiration from many sources, and go their Independent way wherever they will. An example of each of these Is shown here, and that of the utility suit at the left la typical of nearly nil such milts, while that of the cos tume suit at the right speaks for It self alone. Tweeds and homespuns In the spring styles have not eclipsed the twills, trlcotlnes, coverts and serges that are always with us, but they have managed to occupy a good part of the hortxon. They were Introduced early. In many new. spring time colors, and they made an In stant success. They are made with plain skirts and long, smartly tailored I coats, without adornment, other than | a tew outtonb (ft occasional braid binding or a little, simple stitching. The suit Illustrated Is In tan tweed and explains why every woman wants one. Hie summery suit at the right, with loose, hip-length coat and wide sleeves. Is evidently a Chinese In spiration, with embroidery of silk in a motif that Is repeated on the straight blouse, which Is made ex pressly for the suit In a vivid, con trasting color. It tells little of rivals In Its own class, but entices us to investigate for ourselves among suits that will repay and charm us. In the matter of becomlngness the widely varied styles In formal suits are a great advantage and every woman may look for a type that seems as If made especially for her. If she doesn't find It among the numerout two-piece models she will run across It somewhere In the collections of other "tallleurs." livery woman should possess a plain, utility suit and the next most useful article In her wardrobe Is a dressier suit ? 1 1 1 i" Tk* shifting sands of the desert of Gobi are graudunlly burying large portion* of the Great Wall of China.
