Daniel and the Wine.

While il is true that. strictly speaking,
we have no right to quote Daniels words
in this passage as a temperance address,
for the reason that it was not because it
was wine that he refused il. but because
the wine had been offered TO idols before
il was placed upon their table. and that
therefore in drinking il he would have
been countenancing idolatry, it is still
just as true that without the wine Daniel
and his companions were in better health
and finer physical appearance than the
rest of the young men who drank IL. II

terrible temptation land who in these
times is not exposed 20 it2) could be in

insane asylums in the land; could pass

upon the shore Of life, and could hear the
attendant physicians. calm. dispassionate.
unprejudiced men. state that more than
two-thirds OF the men who came there
had been rendered insane through drink,
II would seem as though the words Of
Daniel would take on a new and thrilling
meaning. one that could not possibly fail
Of its effect.
More and more in our American life
the pressure is increasing: IL is hard to
keep up, a stimulant affords so easy a

Daniel i-S-20-S. But Daniel purpOsed I'm
his heart that ne would not defle himself
with the portion OF the kings meat, nor
with TIE vine which he drank: therefore
he requested Of The prince Of the eunuchs
that he might not dedle himself
9. Nov Sod lad brought Daniel into IA
vor and tender love with the prince Of the
eunuchs
To- And the prince Of the eunuchs said
unto Daniel. fear my lord the king. who
hath appointed your meat and your drink:
for why should he see your faces worse
liking than the children which are of your
sort2 then shall We make me endanger my
head to the king.
IL Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom
the prince Of the eunuchs had set over
Daniel Hananiah, MishaeI. and Azariah,
p Prove thy servant, I beseech thee,
ten days; and let them give us pulse to
eat. and water TO drink.
I3. Then let our countenance be look
ed upon before thee, and the countenance
Of the children that eat Of he portion Of
the kings meat; and as thou seest, deal
with thy servants.
Il So he consented to them in this mat
ter, and proved them ten days.
Is And at the end Of ten days their
countenances appeared fairer and fatter in
flesh than all the children which did eat
the portion Of the kings meat.
Took Their Meat and Wine.
16 Thus Melzar took away the portion
Of their meat. and the wine that they
should drink; and gave them pulse.
IL As for these four children. God gave
them knowledge and skill in all learning
and wisdom; and Daniel had understand
ing in all visions and dreams
IS Now at the end of the DAYS that
the king had said he should bring them
in, then the prince of the eunuchs
brought them in before NebuchadneZzar.
70. And the king communed with them;
and among them all was found none like
Daniel, Hananiah, MishaeI. and Azariah;
therefore stood they before the king.
20. And in all matters OF wisdom and
understanding, that the king enquired of
them, he found them ten times better
than all the magicians and astrologers
that we're in all his realm.
