Nebuchadnezzar's dream, which puzzled his wise men, waa of aee ing a great image with a head of gold, breast and arma of all vcr, belly and thighs of braas, legs of Iron and clay. Daniel aald the golden head was Nebuchad nezzar himself (the Babylonian), whose reign was good; the oth ers were progressively evil em pires, the silver the Medo-Peraian Greek brass and the Roman, who waa represented by the leg! of iron and clay, symbolizing the eastern and western divisiona of the empire. Eventually, after these conquering empires, God would set up His own government "which shall never be destroyed," Daniel promised. That time is not yet come, but it is still the hope tof the world. Daniel's vision was of a rani with two horns, one longer than the other, and a goat with one great horn between hia eyea. Tha y delight in: behold, He ahall coma, aaith tha Lord of Hoata. But who may abide the day of Hia coming?" This prophecy points to the coming of John the Baptist, the forerunner of Chrltt Since tha time of these ancient Hebrew conqueror, many na tion have come and gone, aoma bent, as in our own day. with conquering and ruling the whole earth. They have been put down, and now we are striving to unite the nations In a governing body, each independent, but working toward a time when no one ahall be able even to attempt to subdue the others. Our prayers and all our most earnest efforts should, be directed to this great end. The leaaon now turns to ta New Testament, where Luke tells of tha birth of John the Baptist to the priest Zacharlas and his, wife, Elizabeth. Zacharlas hid been struck dumb before the birth of huf son, but when the child waa born hia mouth waa open4 and he praised Cod. saying, "Blessed be the Lord God of Is rael; for He hath visited and re deemed His people. And hathi raised up an horn of aalvatiaa for ua in the house of His servaat MEMORY VERSE "He loved ua, and $ent Bit Son." I J(k 4 scene was on the banks of a river, and as Daniel looked, the goat fought the ram and con quered and trampled him. Then the gnat horn was broken and four more took ita place. As Daniel wa pondering the meaning of t' vision a man ap peared i iitni, and he waa told that i..c ram with two horns rep t .iented the Medo-Persian em pire, and the rough he-goat was the king of Greece, the great horn between his eyes waa Alexander the Great, who conquered Medo Persia, and the four kingdoms that arose when the great horn was broken when Alexander died were the four divisions of Al exander empire, Greece, Asia Minor, Egypt and tha East. Daniel's prophecies were ut tered about 590-635 B. C , Malav chi came about a century later. The tatter's prophesy, in Malachi, chapter 3, reada: "Behold, I will send My messenger, and he ahall prepare the way before Me: and the Lofd, whom ye seek, shall come to His temple, even the messenger of the covenant, wbaaa David: AS He spake by the mouth, of His holy- prophets; which have been since the world began: That we should be saved from our ene mies, and from the hand of all that hate ua." 8 pare will not allow as to dis cuss the details of the numerous Bible references and the ideas set forth therein in this interesting lesson. We have just room to re cite Simeon's Joy in the birth of Jesus, the Messiah. Tha infant,, jrva remember waa taken to th temple by His parents when H was a baby. There Simeon, a just old man and devout, took the child in his arms and blessed God, saying, "Lord, now letteat Thou Thy servant depart ta peace, according ta Thy wort: For mlAe eyes bars seen Thy salvation, which Tkoa haat pre pared before the face of all peo ple; a liitht to lighten the Gen tiles, and the glory of Thy people Israel." Israel now again la a nation. WlO this new -old land be allowed to gain peace and prosper In ta family ef one world? ROAD BUILDERS TO MEET CHICAGO (UPl Road builders from ahout 40 countries will meet here this summer to study recent developments of the American Road Builders' Association. The program will include discussions of finance, design, research, main tenanee, and construction of mod ern highways. One sixth of all the life Insur ance now in force in the United States is group life insurance. So you can't leave it alone when the crowd says Come on? You know that it is doing you no good. You've seen what it does to'others. You are violating your conscience. You are turning your back on what you were taught at home by your parents. You are heading for grief, and deep down in your heart you know it. This is written to that increas ing group of younger people who are taken up with social drinking. Many of you don't like the stuff, neither the taste, nor what it does to you. But that is what "every body else is doing" and you can't stand out against it. You could stop now if you had Ihe backbone. Ten years from now you probably can't. Then, In all likelihood, you'll be like that pitiful group of middle-aged men and women who are now crowding our hospitals and al coholic institutions. The cases haunt my desk and study. I've talked to many of these young people. I find many of them this vicious thing, but they say "everybody we know does it." This nation did not become great, and will not remain great, by rea son of its social life. The funda mental institutions of our democ racy are the home, the school and the church. These are our charac ter-forming agencies, without which our vast and important industrial might would become a Franken stein. In the late seventeenth and ear ly eighteenth centuries, England was at a low ebb morally and spiri tually with an acute alcohol prob lem. Historians tell us that with out the spiritual revival of the Wesley's, the industrial revolution and the factory system could never have arisen in England. It sobered up men and women so they could operate the newly-invented ma chines. It is high ttme we in the United States undertook moral and spiri tual rearmament.
