midst Of that great concourse OF peo
pie
With fierce haste did the great war.
riors OF the king who had been as
signed the task descend upon these
men. and having bound them securely
proceeded TO the mouth OF the fur
mace from which plain view Of all
the people could be seen the leaping
danes waiting to devour the iuckicss
Jews who had dared to disobey the
king.
One last chance" came the word
from the king Just before they we're
cast within the furnace. "wnl you
not bow down to the image and thus
escape an awful fster-
"Nay!" replied Ananiss. Ararias
and Misaei. as with one voise. we
dare bow down and worship none
save the God OF Heaven. We will
serve only him. He is able to deliver
us from the hand OF the king and
from the flames OF the furnace. but II
not. Be Il known that We viii not bow
and worship the image OF the king
and II we perish. we perish"
Having said this the servants OF the
kins. being men OF great stature and
mighty In strength, seized the three
men and raising them far above their
heads they ran with great speed to
ward the furnace. and then with one
mighty effort tossed them into the
very midst Of the flames. which with
fiendish eagerness. seemed to leap
forth to receive them.
The eyes Of the people were inten,
upon watching the Jews which were
cast into the furnace. and for the mo
ment those who had cast them there
In were forgotten. But now a cry OF
horror arose from the throng as the
scorched and blackened forms OF the
men were seen lying before the fur
mace. And while panic seized the
people at the sight OF the work OF the
flames. the three men which had been
cast into the furnace walked In the
midst Of the IRE. praising God and
blessing his name. for they were MOI
touched by the flames.
Then Axarias stood up and prayed
blessed art thou. o Lord God oI
our fathers: thy name Is worthy to bs
praised and glorined for evermore
For thou art righteous In all things
that thou hast done to us: yea. true
are all thy works. thy ways are right
and all thy judgments true. In all the
things which thou hast brought upon
US. and upon the holy city Of our IA
Tiers. even Jerusalem. thou hast exc
cuted true judgment: for. according
to truth and judgment didst thou
bring all these things upon us be
cause Of our sins. And thou didst de
liver us into the hands OF the lawles,
enemies. and now we cannot open our
mouths. We are becon . a shame and
reproach to thy servants. and to them
that worship thee. Yet deliver us no,
up wholly. for thy names sake. neith
er disannual thou thy covenant. Put
us not to shame but deal with us aft
er thy loving kindness. and according
60 the multitude Of thy mercies. De
liver US also according to thy mar
velous works. and give glory to tn,
name. o Lord: and let all them thai
do thy servants hurt be ashamed. And
let them be confounded In all their
power and might. and let their
strength be broken: and let them
know that thou are Lord. the only
God. glorious over all the world

Cotton growers in the southwestern
counties of Mississippi, where the boil
weevil has made its appearance, are, as
rule, indorsing the theory advanced
by Prof. Newell, State entomologist Of
Louisiana, that the intensely hot weather
now prevailing in this section is literally
cooking the eggs and larvae of the boil
weevil, and greatly diminishing prospects
Of continued ravages by the pest, thus
showing that even sizzling weather has
its uses in the plan Of nature.
