through tlx to get the full (tory. a • • DANIEL IN THE DEN OF UONB THE sixth chapter must be read to have an adequate background for this study Daniel had been chosen as the first of throe presidents to rule over 120 princes who should govern the kingdom. The other two presidents and the princes could find no fault in this Hebrew, save that he believed and observed thegUw of his God. So. they conspißd against him by persuading the king to issue a decree that no pergon in the kingdom was to make a petition to any God or man tor 30 days, save to the king, on the penalty of being cast into the den of lions This decree was issued by DaHus. and Daniel's enemies reported to Darius that Daniel was opening his window three times a day, praying to his God. Darius was greatly troubled, but had to stand by his decree, and Daniel was cast into the den of lions. Darius spent a sleepless night, and hurried to the den at dawn to know about Daniel. Daniel replied. “0 king, live for ever. My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me" • • • DABHJB REWARDS DANIEL C CONVINCED that Daniel's conJ vlctions had been miraculously rewarded by God, Darius ordered the other two presidents and the princes, together with their wives and children, thrown into the lions' dens. They were all destroyed by the lions Then Darius Issued » decree to all the nations and people of all languages that dwell in all the earth. Hear this decree; "Peace be multiplied unto you. I make a decree. That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel; for be Is the living God, and stedfast forever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end " So Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius and of Cyrus, the Persian. eat COURAGE TO PUT GOD FIRST LOOK now at the other test of faith—that of the three Hebrew children, Sbadrack. Meshach and Abednego Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babyion, had made a golden Image. BO feet high and nine feet wide, and set It up in the plain of Dura. On a certain day. when he was going to establish his state religion, be ordered every subject to fall doom and worship this image. But Sbadrack. Meshach and Abednego refused to worship the image Nebuchadnezzar was furious when he beard of their refusal He summooed them into bis preseace, and warned them of their fate if they further refused to worship bis gods. They answered him frankly that they would not bow down to the image He ordered them thrown into the fiery furnace. They decided that death was more honorable than apostasy The men who cast them into the furnace fell dead! e e 0 INSEAKED AND UNMNGED! BUT THE three Hebrew children walked in the Hames, unseared •ad uaataged! The kiag was as founded The people ware amazed They had witnessed what the God of all the earth can and will do. Then went forth the decree. •There M no other God that can deliver after thia sort." Thus we have the gokten tact lor Sunday's “Be it known unto thee. O king. I that we wtu not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden imago which thou bast set up " And wbat happened in the tong ago when man dared to stand up and trust to God will happen today and eray gay. oe e i ee kg *1

"Since price* ' haven't broken, the retailers may now decide to pass some of the burden on to the consumers."
