j Creamed e?| j Commentsl on as. J Creamed Comments on the Sunday School Lesson. Men Who Dared to Stand for God, Daniel 3:4-18; 6.10 for Sunday, June 6. in this lesson we find the necessity and value of putting God ' first In our live* and the danger ot giving our highest devotions to my one or any thing but to God. V. 4. "And then a herald cried aloud. To you it is commanded. 0 people, nations and languages, "Any government degree must have publicity to be effective; here publicity came through neralds. Public evil* would soon lose out were there no advocates for it. V. 5. "That at what time ye hear the sound ot the comet, flute, harp, lackbut. psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall down r.nd worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king h’.th set ■p." The king had been influenced o erect a large graven Image ikely of himself; his pride was appealed to and his, kingly power was put to the lest. This plan was a scheme worked out by the king's ibjects who were jealous of the ■ puiarity of the Hebrew leaders; < trap set to catch them. V. 6. "And whoso falieth not down nd wershippeth. shall in the same our be i-ast into the midst ot a .urning fiery furnace.” Laws anicted have penalties for violations; the penalty here was most severe. V.7. "Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the -ound of the curuet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the people, the nations aid languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image." Here he emphasis is on "ail". There is i strong appeal to go along with the unanumous vote, right or wrong. V. 13. "Then Nebuchadnesar. in his rage and fury, commanded to bring Shadrack. Mescack, and Ahednego. Then they brought these men before the king.” There was no escaping the draft. When is one morally justified in refusing to Lake orders from the government: Is it not when God is dishonored and displaced, and worship is demanded of another?

al We need to make allowance for human weaknesa. Memory may be weak and because of it. false statements may be made; judgment may be imperfect causing wrong conclusions. So we must tolerate in others errors; what is seen in oth r* may be seen in us. To develop character one must be conscientious and thua kind and forgiving it ia the determined effort to live at one's best that counts. It is writ- * ten "Strive to enter into tbe r;raight gate." »■ Sook Review Without Halos by Bess White 'ochraa is an entertaining account of the experiences of a ministers family with keen observations as to mlataksn ideas of Christianity

V. 14. "Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them. Is It true, 0 Shadrack. Meshack and Abedaego, do ye not serve my gods, and worship the golden image which I have set up?" The Hebrew youths were breaking with the king because of their absolute loyalty and devotion to God; from childhood * they had been well taught relic- * iously The influence of godly teaching in the home makes stalwart spiritual soldiers. V.LS. "Now. if ye be ready, that 1 at what time ye hear the sound ' of the cornet, flute, harp. sackbuL 1 psaltery and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship I the Image which ! have made, well; * but if ye worship not. ye shall be ■ cast the sama hour into the midst I of a burnin* fiery furnace; and who ’ Is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands." Note the use 1 of the word "well." The king's program might have been well for the bodies but it could not be well for the souls. Note also the defying of God. Hare is the language of a wicked ruler. The worst thing a nation can do is to rule out God. j VI6. "We are not careful to an-: swer thee In this manner.” When; the path of duty is plain, unhesi. fating decision and explicit obedience is the only satety. V. 17. y lf it be w, our God whom we serve, is able to deliver u* from 1 the burning fiery furnace; and be will deliver us out of thine hand. 0 king." Here is taught the great truth that God will have the last word. The secret on man's part is In his will; These men Mid “We will not." V.lB. "But if not, be It known un te thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast sei up. Here is the expression ot true lai th In God-not demanding the preservation of life but simply trustlug God, even if the earthly life should be ended. V.lO. “Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open la his chambers toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as be did aforetime." The windows open toward Jerusalem were symbolic ot a heart that was i ever open to the advances ot God. Here is also an expression of courage since Daniel did not pray and give thanks so secretly that none could hear and see him.

In addition million* of leaner offenses presented a problem of shocking proportions.
