The International Sunday School Lesson
July o, 1900. Daniel 1 :s-2l-Daniel
in Babylon.

in Babylon.
The antiquity. magnitude, splendoT,
and wealth of Babylon surpassed be-
lief. Founded two millennlums before
the Christian era, 1t covered ten times
the area of the largest city of modern
times. The fascinating loveliness of
the metropolis diverted Alexander's at
tentlon from the incalculable treasures
OF the royal Golfers Though its ruins
have been the quarry out of which
score of cities have been built, they
still rise in vast mounds upon the plain.
'"a'' Yet, when Babylon was Shin
ing in meridian splendor, one thing
ecllpsed 1t in the eye OF God and angel.
IL not of man; and that, too, the most
unlikely thing the city contained-the
character OF young Hebrew captive.
Daniel was greater than the city in
which he lived. The city is dead. The
man lives The character OF Daniel
has been the noble model on which tens
OF thousands Of young men have fash
Toned their lives. he MADE the
most out OF his situation. He might
have complained of his environment,
He might have said. I'm the puppet
of a despotic ruler; might as we'll sub
nit to the Inevitable. I'm deprived of
personality and influence. II makes no
difference how l live or what do" In
stead of that, with courteous piIu WIN
ming manner, but without sacrifice OF
| principle, he adjusted himself TO his
| surroundings without giving ofense.
| and achieved success through the very
conditions which seemed to make 1t
impossible, He had fixed re-
lIgious principles. He knew what he
believed, and why. He was rooted and
| grounded. Religion was not a matter
OF geographical location with him. he
| felt its sacred obligations as strongly
in Babylon as he ever did In Jerusalem.
No doubt they had a proverb In his day
which correspondent to our modern
maxim: when in Rome do as Ro-
mans do" But he sCOrned the Hdnge.
He was incorruptible. Baby
Ion is the New Testament type of pro-
hIgncy. In the midst OF sclf-Indul-
gent and elfcmInate court and popu-
| lace, among strangers. five hundred
miles from the restraints OF home and
church and acuuaintances, with the
subtle, undermining influence OF gener-
nj deEenerncy, beset by the world, the
flesh and the devil. the lust OF the
| flesh, the lust OF the eye, and the pride
of life, Daniel purposed in his heart
that he would not detile himself" =
Jesus words are strlkIngly eSempliiled:
seek first the kingdom OF God and his
Righteousness, and all else shall be
added" Daniel stepped at once to the
commanding position of prime minister
OF the proudest monarchy on earth, and
retained It half n century. He was
able to befriend with patriotic services
his unfortunate ellow-countrymCn in
their exile. He exalted the name and
nature and worship OF the true God In
a heather court and country. He left
at once an inspiration and u pattern for
young men OF every age.

Burke's inclination to Joke was kept
up to within n few days OF his death.
Tho trained nurse who attended him
had only one eye. and was wearing for
the first time nm artificial one. She had
difficulty in keeping It In place, because
when laughing heartily the eye would
drop out, and she would catch II In her
hand. When Burke discovered this,
with his jOVial disposition and odd
mnnnerIsms. he kept her In such a state
OF merrlment that the glass eye was
constantly travelling M and down be-
tween her hand and socket.
Burke's seeming IOllity was often n
mnBk to cover bllghted ambitions and
dead and buried hopes, and he finally
saw nothing To guide him through life
but an ungOvernable restlessness that
relentIessly carried him from place to
place until his weary body Mt last Yield
cd I'm It's soul Tho disposition Of his
remains so far has been as he willed It,
The corpse was cremRted, the ashes
placed In nm urn on shelf IN n North
Capitol street saloon where "the boys"
nightly tnp 1t with their glasses, 1t
win remain there until Christmas Day,
when two OF his friends will take II to
the dome Of the capitol and distribute
his ashes to the winds.

Nearly everybody you meet will re-
gard it as kind OF insult to be asked
ii they have weak lungs. All seem to
have solid faith i'll the soundncss oi
their own breathing machine. In cases
OF trouble they will admit there is a
heavy cold "a touch OF bronchitis"
or even "a spell OF asthma" but as TO
weak or unsound lungs never NEVER.
Even the poor consumplive, who scarce
ly speaks without coughing. whose
checks are wasted, hollow and bear the
hectic flush & doom, will assure YOU
with glistening eyes that his cold is on
the mend and lie will be all right when
the weather changes
1t is simply terrible to think how far
we may be guilty by our Indifference to
the lung troubles OF those near and dear
to us. 1t is also 4 sad thought that we
may hug dclusion as 10 our own health
that we only get rid OF when lie itself

Nobody can afford to think lightly
OF lung troubles. Nobody can afford to
be mistaken about their possible dan
gers. Nobody can afford to neglect
them. or let them wear out" or get
better in the spring" or any other tom
foolery that leads only to wreck and
ruin. Lung troubles don't move back
ward. Weak lungs don't grow strong
by msclves-you must heal them
and strengthen them, and rid them OF
the very earliest germs OF disease, or
you are simply committing form OF
suicide. Either you must cure your

they have not spoken to each other I'M
til to-day. Mr.. Beard spoke to Mr..
Parr this morning when he entered
the village, and soon afterward Mr..
Parr came to the sheriff and used very
insulting epithets. This brought on a

was worstcd.
Later in the day the fight was re-
newed and seven shots fired. three by
the sheriff and four by Parr. Tho
latter received dangerous wound in
the right lung and a flesh wound in
the right leg. and the sheriff received
flesh wound in the left side and a
scalp wound.
