! Thou art weighed in the balances, and
! art found wanting. Daniel VIZ
| This is the Interpretation which was
given by the prophet, Daniel. to one of
| the words which startled Belshazzar
the successor of Nebuchanezzar as
| king of Babylonia, when it was writ
ten with some other phrases by mys-
terious hand on a wall before his very
eyes. 1t conveyed to Belshazzar thu
warning, soon after fulfilled, that his
hours as a ruler were nearing the end.
He had been weighed in the balances
and found wanting
And that is the verdict which is be-
ing passed upon many men and women
in the world today. Perhaps, the hand
writing on the wall telling them of Lile
failure they have made of their oppor-
tunitfes, which they generally fail to
see or, seeing, fail to heed, does not ar
pear before them In such an emphatic
and rather uucanny way as 1t did be-
fore the doomed Belshazzar. But it is
always there and could be figured out
and interpreted by those to whom 1t is
addressed IL they had any real desire
to do so.
They don't, though. The folks VINO
are making anything but the most OF
their hveo are generally of the self
satisfied eor-. They believe them
selves self-sufficient in all things.
Nobody can tell them any
thing. They even shut their eyes 20
the many danger marks along the
routes they are drifting. Because they
can skip over a little pit-faI they con-
slider themselves smart enough to evade
the larger ones which are in their way.
later which engulfs them and their e.i6
is a distressing one.
To avoid the Judgment OF being found
wanting should be the effort of eveiy
man and woman. Right living in all
things points the way to this goal
Take the case of Belshazzar, for ex-
ample. Nebuchadnezzar placed in his
hands a mighty kingdom, rich and
prosperous. AS soon as Belhazzar as
cended to his position of power ne
started in to make life one long, coc-
tinued revelry of dissipation. He did
not appreciate the wonderful oppor-
tunities and the enormous responsible
ties which had been given unto him:
Wine, women and song, attracted his
entire attention. Is 1t any wonder then
that the wrath of God descended upon
him; that his kingship was but for a
day? Not the slightest.
So it is in the world of the present
era. just the same as it has been in
every other cycle Of time which has
passed on its way. Many Individuals
their number is really prodigious-
neglect their duties Of life, their duties
to themselves and to their families, u
they have any, and, also, to their God.
They dodge the responsibilities which
are properly thrust upon them. Almost
before they know 1t, the time Is longer
with some and shorter with others, the |
terrible judgment is rendered against
them-they have been weighed in the
scales and found wanting. And no YER |
dict could be more cruelty crushing.

movement is hardly along the same
practical lines as in the west" AL
lowance should be made, however, for
difference of opinion as to what kind
of municipal advertising really de-
serves the name of being practical.
Eastern and western ideas may differ
widely on this point, and often for the
best of reasons. The average western
city has different attractions to offer
than its eastern sisters, and naturally
it adopts different methods to bring
them, to the attention of the country
