I GOLDEN TKXT-But Daniel pui pond In hla hrart that h'a would not defile him eelf with th? portion of the klnff'a meat. 1 nor with the win* which he dmnk Daniel f 1:1. The book of Daniel, wltli (lie treat prophecies, fulfilled and unfulfilled, ll one of Jhe most Interesting and linpor- ; tant In the Bible. Without a grasp of the prophecies of this book It Is atoo lutpt.v ini[>osslble for one to know the New Testament and the times In which we live. Daniel gives an outline of the entire Deriod of time from the passing of supremacy to the Gentiles lo Nebu chadnezzar to the final overthrow of the Gentilf dominion, to the establish ment of the mlllenlal kingdom. The j course, character and end of Gentile dominion are given. It is that period \ known In Scriptures as the "times of the Gentiles" (Luke 21:24). ' The book of Daniel falls into two parts: Vart I (chapters 1 to 6), in which the prophet appears as the dl- I vlnely chosen Interpreter of dreams; ' part II (chapters 7 to 12), In which the i prophet appears as th<j mouthpiece of God, setting forth In visions, not dreams, the times of the Gentiles. The : book is written In two languages, He- | brew and Arauiulc-ir-chapter 1:1-2.3 and : chapters 8 to 12 (Hebrew); chapters 2:4-7:28 (Aramaic). The part which concerns the Hebrews was written In their own tongue and the part which concerns the empires of the world 1* written in their tongue. I. Daniel's Home Leaving (*?. 1-4). He was carried away to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar in the first siege of Je rusalem. This was a great trial for his own heart. He seems to have bech about fourteen years of age. For a boy who loved his home and the house of God It was a great trtal to be thrust out and dragged away fo a foreign country. It was not only a trial to him, but doubtless to his parents also. They no doubt were anxious, and sin cerely prayed for him. II. Daniel'* Trials and Difficultly* (w. 5-13). It was the custom for the best of the captives to be selected aud trained for service In the land of cap tivity. They usually selected those of the royal house for such training. 1. Change of name. Among the He brews names were given to children, which were significant Daniel mean* "God is my Judge." The significance of the name then was that all prob lems of life were submitted to God for decision. This was the secret of Dan lei's life. This purpose of bis parents seems to have been Instilled into his very life and being. So thoroughly did he imbibe this spirit that in all things he made God arbiter of his plans and purposes. The object no doubt In the chance of name was to obliterate his national and religious connection and identify him with the heathen people. The king of Babylon evidently liked Daniel'* appearance and scholarship, but was averse to his religion. It is the same today. Nations and Individ uals are perfectly willing to recognize and utilize the scholarship and efficien cy of Christian ministers and mission aries, but are not willing to embraca. their religion. The name wjilch Daniel received by which he was to be known In Babylon was Belteshazzar, which means Bel's Prince. This In Its bear ing upon Daniel would be, the chief one, or the one whom Babylon's chief god favors. Back of the change of name was Satan's attempt tor wipe out the name of the'true God and have these young men lose their separation and become assimilated with the heath en. There is much In a name. Hap pily In this case, however, the change of name, did not make a change of dis position. Daniel was In Babylon, but he did not do as the Babylonians did. , Doubtless, parental discipline in this case had done its work. 2. His caiytclence tested (w. 5-8). It I was with reference to the king's meat and the king's wines. M Is ever to be borne In mind that conscience la the groundwork of human character. It Is the law which must be followed. No I doubt Daniel was taunted and laughed at for his fidelity, just as all men and women today who are loyal to their convictions must experience, for all who will Are godly In Christ Jesus shall sutler persecution. 3. His religious life. This Involved his refusal to eat meet and drink wine which was contrary to his teaching. Also it Involved his praying three times a day. This program be loyally car His praying was not done altogether In secret. He called upon God even when those who were opposed to him could see him. III. Hla ftuccssa (vv. 14-21). 1. Phy sical health (v. 10). Godly and temperate living pays. The king's meat and wine would have been pleasant to the palate, but would have meant compromise of conscience. 2. Mental growth (v: 20). He was ten times superior to his comrades. It la always true that those who abstain 'from Indulgence in the nse of wine have clearer minds and are mentally better equipped for their work than thoee who Indulge. 3. Social. Daniel stood before the king. No higher position of honor could have been given him. 4. Temporal. He became president of the College of Wise Men and prims minister of the nation. This position he continued to hold through several dynasties. 6. Spiritual (T. IT). Because of Dan iel's loyalty to Ood, Nebuchadneixar's Iream waa revealed to him tad he was {fflng visions sketching the whole his tory of ths world. No statesman his jf <tal has ?v?r appeared. The Need of Diviner Guidance . By REV. B. B. SUTCUPFB CM U* Iita?ira Depart mast Mood* BibU Institute. Chicago TBJtT-Th?n I proclaimed a (ul . . that we ml*ht nfnict ourulvw txfor. Ood to lAk of Him a rl(ht wny.- Kara 141. Perhaps today airftever before the nhrUtlan iifeeda to be Instructed bj God u to the right w?jr There are three greet reason* why di vine guidance U needed. I. Because of what we are by nature. Flrat of all we are Ignorant. It in unpopular, but true that "It U not In tnan that walketh to direct 111*, steps." go ?mid Jeremiah long yeara ago. And history shows wv uruuj inai iiIB way mui wems right to a man end* in death and dls 1 aster. There la no way of knowing what will talce place on the morrow or even within the next hour. An explor er or a tourist going Into a strange un known country will want guidance as to what Ilea before him. We take much care in securing all the Infor mation we can before starting Into new territory. Many think It neces sary to prepare for passing to the un known land beyond the grave, but af ter all each new day brings such dan .gers and such opportunities that to be ready for them needs to have the feet guided Into the right way. As It Is not In man to direct his own steps there la a need for the guidance of oue to whom tomorrow Is as open as yester day. Then by nature man Is so self-willed and self-sufficient he needs a higher In telligence than his own to guide him. This Is humiliating but agqin 'history tells the truth. Ever since Cain In his self-will chose the wrong way It has been true that "the way of a man is forward and strange," as the Proverb says. Moses knew something of this when he declared In his last word to the people In Deut. 36:29, "I know that after my death ye will utterly torn aside from the way and evil will befall yon." Again we are so prone to wander from the light way. As the prophet gays, "All we like sheep have, turned 1 everyone to his own way." Like sheep I we wander, go astray and without sense Keep on going further and furth- | er astray. "Everyone does It" seems to be sufficient guidance when we j know well that the voice of the people Is far from being the voice of God. It la true that* the majority may many times appear to he right, but Dumber* don't always count. There were four hundred and flfty prophets opposed to 1 one, but that one, Elijah, was right and the crowd was wrong. II. B?cauM of the Character of tho Way Bcfor* Us. It la a difficult way fur the Chris tian In these times. Bogs and mire are on either side and the way dall/ grows narrower. The master bjmself warns us In Matt. ?:13, 14," rti|?t "widi. Is the gate and broad the way that leadeth to destruction, and strait Is the gate and narrow the way which leadeth nnto life, and few there be that find It." So difficult Is the way before the Christian, bes<* by the snares, pit falls and straps of Satan, and so strewn with the allurements and at tractions of the world, that left to him self he would surely come to destruc tion. He needs always the guidance of the one who alone knows all the difficulties and how to pass them. Not only difficult, but dangerous Is the way. There are Increasingly large numbers who are as infatuated with the sup posed Importance and self-sufficiency of tnan_tliHt they think there Is no need for Divine guidance. But.such are the days In which we live, "perilous times," the Apostle I'aul calls them, that Divine guidance la not only de sirable, bfit Imperative. Many are being swept from old moorings to drift out and make shipwreck. It Is well for us to hasten to Jeremiah's exhor tation to "ask for the old paths where Is the good way and walk therein and find rest for your souls." Jer. 0:16. III. Bacauae of What th? Lord Is aa Quid#. He knows all the way that lies un tried and unknown before the Chris tian's feet. He Is omniscient. It was the Lord, not Moses, who led the peo ple of Israel of old, and It la the Lord who would guide his people In safety today. A story is told of a little boy from which we all may learn. During a storm a mother sought to rescue a family of six children. Aa the water bnrst open the OatSt OfHet home, die tied her baby otf her shoulder and took a boy of six In her arms. To her four* teen-yeaf*old daughter she Said, "yon must carry one .child." "Which one," said the girl. The mother looked at tba two, one of four, one of two, un able to choose. Ben, her boy of eleven, said. "Ma. I'll take. Ute little one." "The water Is too deep for you," the dlspalrlng mother aald. "It's deep for true," answered the boy, "but Jesus Is a tall man." They started, the mother calling to her children, but soon Ben ceased to answer. The mother and the others soon reached a place of safety. When the tide went down next day Uttle Ben tramped to tbem and pnt his Uttle chargeInto the moth er's arms. Had he followed her the night before he would aoon have been beyond his depth. But unconsciously he had turned aalde and followed a bank tbat years 'before bad marked a boundary. The water was to Ma waist, and a atep or two on either side would have been fatal, bat the child trod the narrow path In aafety till he reached a house where a man came down and took the children In. The path ofth* Christian la beset wltb dangers, but he may trsad It with perfect safety whM he baa tU galdanc* of the Lord .nowAN MVIUH COMPANY. Pimrjtr?Mai!?Expreaa Daily Except tuMayl. N?
