song of hope and trust
So is the child of God able to de-
clare in all ages of the worlds his

Centuries ago when Babylon was
in the height Of her power, and she
had stretched out her mighty arm
and had crushed the fair Jerusalem
and had taken her people and placed
them in exile in the country far to
the east, there were three devout
Jews in the service of the king named
Ananias, Azarias and Misael, or ac-
cording to the names given them by
the king and recorded in the Book Of
Daniel: Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-
nego.
Now it came to pass that the
mighty king, Nebuchadnezzar, had
caused to be made great image of
gold, which he had set up in the great
plain before the city. And when he
had gathered all the people In that
place, having arranged great feast
in honor of the image, he command
ed that the people should bow down
before the image and pay it rever-
ence, as unto a god.
So it was that at the sound of the
music all the people threw themselves
PROSTATE before the great image
which sparkled and glittered with
supernal glory in the brilliancy of the
MONDAY sun.
And in accordance with the kings
command all the people were gath
cred before the image and when the
sound OF the music burst forth every
one In that vast throng fell to the
| ground save these three Jews.

to be decreed that any who should re-

LAW of Attraction.

The attractions of men to women
and women to men are full of the most
perple4ing inconsistencies and contra
dictions imaginable. 1t is, for instance,
a physical law that magnetism is not
simple attraction of one thing for an
other, but the difference of two oppos-
ing forces of attraction and repulsion,
of which the former is the greater.
The same law holds in relation to the
attraction of men and women for each
other, in which, as a rule, the mascu-
line is the superior force.-T. P.'s

What's the game. Floyd? inquired
Jack Cleland who had visited his
friends room in the hotel ten minutes
after they had reached the big Broad
way hotel
Well old top. you know what we
are on here for" was the reply.
You've got to sell an order Of green
goods to some one. You are lucky
because I've already found your man
for you. II must be some one, so why
not our friend Solomon? He's already
delivered himself"
The trio met in the lobby Of the
hotel a few moments later and Solo
mon insisted on having just one drink
before they parted company for the
day and then also insisted that they
dine together that evening. The only
dissipation Cleland would indulge in
that evening after dinner was the the
alter to which he consented to accom-
pany Floyd and Solomon. After the
theater. however, Floyd was indeed
the gay man OF law away from home
for good time and he put Solomon

In the cities of New York and Bos-
ton there are, according to special
commissions which recently investi-
gated the subject, over 10000 children
in these two cities alone that have
tuberculosis. On the basis of these
and other Investigations it is esti-
mated by certain authorities that
there are nearly 100000 school chill
dren in the United States to-day who
will probably die of tuberculosis be-
fore they have reached the age of 1S.
This would mean that the public is
paying annually about $7,500,00O for
the education of children who will
die before they reach the age of 49,

Through many tribulations," said
the apostle missionaries to their Gala
tian converts, eve must enter into the
kingdom of God" It was at the cost
of bitter persecution that these Christ
ians, won from amongst the heather
in those days of beginnings, held fast
to their new faith, But how glorious
was the result of such suffering brave
ly endured, in the lives strong and
noble which came out of It,
We live in times as different from
that early period as the modern
threshing. machine is from the rude
tribulum. People do not, in our land,
suffer for their religion in the same
way as did the first followers Of
Christ. But 1t is still true that, only
through discipline, sometimes sharp
and severe, do human lives become
worthy of the kingdom OF God. There
may be much in our present lot that
is hard to bear, but a blessed outcome
is certain TO all Gods children.

Solomon and Floyd, acting like two
conspirators, agreed to take separate
conveyances uptown to their hotel and
to meet there later and drink to their
good luck.
Two hours later, when Floyd had
not put in appearance, Solomon began
to feel nervous. He was afraid some
thing had happened to Floyd and Gle
land. but for another half hour he
did not suspicion anything further
and then he suddenly decided to go to
his room and investigate his newly
acquired wealth.

Based on the Apocryphal Book of
the Song of the Three Holy Children.
The Book as Part OF Danlel--The Greek
translations of Daniel. like that of
Esther. contain several pieces which are
not found in the original text. The most
important of these additions are con-
tanned I'm the Apocrypha of the English
Bible under the titles of The Song Of
the Three Holy Children" 1.-THE History
Of Susanna" and the History of Bel
and the Dragon" The first OF these
pieces is incorporated into the narrative
OF Daniel After the three confessors
were thrown into the furnace Dan.
S:23), Azarias is represented praying to
God for delWerance CSong OF the Three
Children 3:2g; and in answer. the angel
of the Lord shields them from the fire
which consumes their enemies (2S-2O,
whereupon the three, as out OF one
mouth" raise triumphant song t29-6S),
OF which n chief part (S5-66) has been
used as a hymn in the Christian church
since the fourth century. The additions
are found in both the Greek texts, the
Xxx and Theodotion. in the Old Latin
and Vulgate, and in the existing Syriac
and Arabic versions. on the other hand
there is no evidence that they ever
formed part OF the Hebrew text. and they
were originally wanting in the SyriaC.
Various conjectures have been made as
20 the origin of the additions. 1t has
been supposed that they were derived
from Aramaic originals, but the charac-
ter OF the originals themselves indicates
rather the hand of an AleXandrine wri-
ter; and it is not unlikely that the trans
lator of Daniel wrought up traditions
which were already current and append
ed them to his work.
