Daniel was trained to live a simple life, basing his conduct on faith in God. He w» chosen with a few other promising young men from the captives from Judah to he given special training for services in the Babytontan kingdom. While tn training, fine foods and wine were offered but Daniel declined. asking for simple food of vegetables and fruit. After strong appeals, his desire wee granted and as a result, ho was superior to the others physically, mentally and spiritually. During a hilarious feast, Belshazsar was troubled by a handwriting on the wall which could not be deciphered by qpecial interpreters. The queen suggested that Daniel be called; the account of this interview is the lesson for today. V. 17. “Then Daniel answered and said before the king. Let the gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation." Daniel was free from mercenary interests; his motive was to tell the truth dearly. V.lt. "O then king, tko most high God gave Nebuohadnessar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour;” This young man dared to say that God was the source of all the power and success of Neubuchadneizar and had to take God into account though be might not have known it. V. 19. “And for the majesty that he gave him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up, and whom he would he put down.*' His father was an absolute monarch, a despot; having no constitutional government, he assumed all authority and was ruthless in his rule. It may be implied that an exception was now taking place. V.Jfl. “But when his heart was lifted up. and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne and they took his glory from him;" For the time being, Nebuchadnezzar apparently .— I, » ...

I Questions ffql 1. How account for the courage of Daniel? 2. What were some of the good habits of Daniel? 3. What were some of the outstanding sins of Belshazzar? 4. Why is the general public unaware of the evils of Intoxicating drinks? —— 5. How will the liquor problem he solved? Help us always to be on Thy side, then we eaw wait for the outcome. —Clara Yoder.

■T ruled out God when the Israelites were taken captive; ke became proud and made Mmself unwanted and was deposed by his own people. Without God, todtviduals and nations will fail. Daniel's speech ought to have produced conviction. V. 21. “ And ke was driven from the sons of men; and hid heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses; they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled la the kingdom of men, and what he appointed over whomsoever ho will.” Note how tong God chastized the former king; hut finally the will of God emerged; it will always be so. The present king was given stunning blows by the simple truths of history and which are now being repeated. V. 22. “And then his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knowest all this;" Barnes says this verse means “Wo ought to derive valuable lessons from what has happened in the past; we should learn wkap f |<y,fopQraves aad what he disapproves; we should avoid the course that has brought disaster." Here is a good teaching pride is a delusion and humility is the starting point of all success. V. 23. “But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vesaels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunken wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, and of brass iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor bear, nor know; and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whoso are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified.'* Some of the king’s sins were pride, a sacrilegious attitude, worship of wealth, idolatry and the ignoring of God. To glorify God in all things is the real rule of life. V 5.24-28. In these verses, Daniel proceeded to give the interpretation of the handwriting on the wall. “God hath numbered thy kingdom and finished it; thou art weighed in the balances and found wanting; thy kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.’’ Without God, the king failed miserably. For where God then evil forces will taka ever. It does not have the right of way, I ie at thois point where the lesson of drinking-liquor comes In. Do You Know: 1. On what occasion did the disciples say “Is it I?” 3. Bywhat sign did Judas betray Jesus? 3. When was a hymn sung in connection with the Lord’s supper? 4. Who said, “Though all shall offend yet will not I?” 5. Finish the sentence, “Nevertoss not what I will ....’’ Do You Know Answered 1. At the time of the Lord’s supper. 2. By a kiss. 3. Just before Jesus went to Gethsemane. 4. Peter. 5. “ but what thou wilt.” CLERtCUSSAYS: “Laws of health or well-being operate relentlessly in all areas of life. One enjoys well-being and contributes to the well-being of others only as he lives according to them in bis own life. He must be disciplined in all his relationships In order to live significantly.’*. Without God, everything goes wrong. —Clara Yoder. ’

Two little boys were overheard by a nurse in a children’s ward discussing their hospital experiences. Said one: “Are you medical or surgical?" The other shook his head. “1 don’t know what you mean." he said. The first little boy looked scornfully at his friend. He had been a patient in the ward for many weeks. - "Were you sick when you come.” he persisted, “or did they make you sick after you came?” The dynamic usually prevails over the static; the active over the passive. —Dulles.

Many books- have beep written on child training which are very good. But the simple and beat plan of child training is to get more mother ((provided she is a good mother) into the child. The mother love embraces the child, guides its steps, feeds and clothes it, and is ever on the alert that no evil may harm it The child's full co-operation with the mother love will assure good training. All children are born innocent, pure, fit for the kingdom of God; Jesus meant just tha-t when he

According to Dr. T.G. Tsiang chief of the Chinese delegation of the United Nations, more than 15.600,000 were executed and some 20,000,000 others died of famine or killed themselves during a twoyear period. India, with a population of 43,000,000 Moslems, is the third largest Moslem country in the world. Indonesia and Pakistan are first and second, respectively. The research department of the National Council of Churches says that the population of the United States is steadily shifting from the interior to the East and West Coasts, the Gulf coast, and the Great Lakes region. Since the people are increasingly moving to the cities and their suburbs, nearly half of the 1950 population was concentrated in 157 urbanized areas. This means that if Protes tan-tism is to measure up to demands of a moving notion, it will have to build and staff 1,000 new churches. Mr. and Mrs. Clyde H. Harris of Pendleton. Oregon, have given their multimillion dollar furniture and lumber, manufacturing business to the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The estimated value of the gift, said to be the largest ever received by the church, is between 38,000,000 and $1,0,000,000. Mr. Harris explained the gift by saying: "We decided years ago that the Bible meant what it said, tithing has always been a basic tenet of the Christian faith. We have tried to be faithful in our dealings with’ the Lord and he has given us far more than we deserve. Now we are giving our entire business to him.”

iTlie Ssfcf tSXjK’Way Surrendering Some Sovereignty Mistakenly we have thought that for us as a nation to surrender some of our unlimited national sovereignity to a world order would involve us in world conflict. The very opposite has been the case. Having refused to surrender some of our unlimited notional sovereignty to a world order with power to adjudicate rights and to enforce decisions, we have foud ourselves drawn into world conflicts, conflicts in which our real sovereignty in its highest sense came very near to being destroyed. It civilization is to survive, there must come a world order to which all of the nations are -willing to surrender some of their sovereignty, in exchange for a society that will be characterized by orderly government and not by anarchy.

said, "Suffer the children to come unto me." But too many children, when they grow up, forget God and wander into sin. The training needed is like the little child who needs its mother love regnant within. God is "Our Fathor”whose name is love, whose ambassador is Christ with the stamp, "God so loved."
