In the midst of the plain a golden
image Of Bel-Merodach was erected
ninety feet high. Il is not necessary
to assume that the image was of solid
gold, although Herodotus mentions a
statue at Babylon of smaller size
which was of solid gold. weighing
forty-three thousand pounds.

delegates from various nations, the
banners flying and the musical in
struments playing It must have been
an impressive sight. We may sympa-
thize with the victorious Nebuchad-
nezzar in a certain measure of pride In
the achievements of that hour and the
peace program which 1t was to cele-
brate. Thus far his. rule had been one
of conquest; thenceforth, everything
conquered, the world was to have a
great time of peace, prosperity, jubil-
alton.
AT the appropriate time the re-
ligious unity of the empire was to be
demonstrated by a general ownership
of the golden image of Bel-Merodach.
Proclamation was made that soon the
bands would begin to play and that
then ali would be expected to fall
down and worship and reverence the
image.
Courage OF the Three Hebrews.
Everything seemed to go well until
it was reported TO the king that three
governors whom he had set over the
provinces had rebelled against his de-
cree and refused sto worship the
image of Bel-Merodach-ha defied the
kings power-for like all mandates Of
olden times, the penalty for disobed-
fence was so severe as TO leave no
room for opposition in a sane mind.
Who were these three disturbers of
Babylons peace, spoilers of the great
peace festival? They were the three
young Hebrews whom the king had
so graciously treated at the time Of
their captivity and who apparently
owed so much to him. He had not
only given them schooling, but he had

ELSMERE CHURCH
TO Be SEPARATE
VIII Be Made an Independent
Organization on Tuesday
Evening

The Chapel at Elsmere, which has
been connected with Hanover Pres
byterian Church, is to be organized
into an independent church under the
Presbytery Of New Castle. Several
attempts at organization have been
made before but without success. The
work at Elsmere has been carried on
this summer by a Wilmington young
man, G. A. Papperman, a graduate Of
Delaware College and student at
Princeton Seminary. Elsmere Church
has grown from a little handful TO a
good congregation, and the Presbytery
has thought it best to organize a
church. A splendid choir that assists
IN the services has been organized,
the finances Of the church systemat-
lied and the whole work put on a good
basis. Mr.. Papperman organized q
church at Ocean City, Md, in 1903,
of which the Rev. Mr.. Rushbridge is
pastor. While at college during a
summer vacation a church was also
built at Stratford, South Dakota.
During August Mr.. Papperman occu-
pied the pulpit at Hanover Church, of
which the Rev. r. L. Jackson is
pastor.
The church at Elsmere will be or
ganized by the New Castle Presbytery
next Tuesday evening. A number Of
Presbyterian ministers will assist In
organizing the church Dr. Joel S.
Gilhllan Of Newark, will likely have
charge of the service. The organiza-
ton will begin with between forty
and fifty members, which will give il
a good start.

The st. Paul's NJ. Z. Church young
people have been holding their Sum
day evening prayer meetings for the
past two weeks in the uncompieted

seats to go around; many sit on
boxes or piles of lumber or make
seats by stretching boards from one
pile of lumber to another. These
meetings are held practically in the
open air, as the room is open on one
side and the windows have not yet
been put in on the other side. Both
the last two meetings were very well
attended, and the Endeavorers are
much encouraged.
The meeting this Sunday evening
will begin at o'clock, and will be
conducted by the Wilmington Chris
tian Endeavor Union, A. Rae duBell,
president. The meeting will last for
about three-quarters of an hour. As
no lights have been installed, the
meeting will necessarily be a day
Light one.
The business meeting Of the society
was held on Tuesday evening last at
the home of Mrs. Katie wilkinson,
622 Jackson street. Reports were
heard from many committees among
them one from the Memorial Window
Fund Committee; this committee has
nearly 800 in cash on hand. and
promises of over 5000 in pledges, the
total amounting to about $500. a
rummage sale will be held in October

exalted them to high positions in his
empire How ungrateful to their bene-
factor, how traitorousl was Nebu-
chadnezzar's view of the affair.
The courage of these three Hebrews
stands out on the pages of history as
sublime! The king had reminded
them that none of the gods had been
able to deliver any people out of his
hand; their own city. Jerusalem. had
been overthrown. They could hope for
no succor, no rescue from the death
that was before them if they persisted
in defying the king of the whole earth.
Their answer was that their God, Je-
hovah, they were sure, was quite able
to deliver them from the fiery fur
mace, or from anything He might
choose, and would do so. But if not
II He did not deliver them-and if
they were certain of it in advance
nevertheless, they would be His faith
full servants and worship Him alone.
How sublime their faith and their
couragel Such faith and such cour-
age we may be sure is pleasing to the
Lord. We must not expect that in
every case God will thus deliver those
who trust in Him; rather, as these
Hebrews intimated we are not able
to know the wise plans of our Cod
nor what may be His will respecting
what little remains of our lives. BUe
Of His power and love we are conf
dent. We can trust Him where we
cannot trace Him.
"Blessed Are They Who Put Their
Trust in Jehovah"
The King was seriously disappointed
at the only inharmony that had oc-
Cured in connection with his great
project, which he felt sure was to
work such blessings to all the earth,
and such honor to himself. In his
fury he commanded that the furnace
should be made seven times hotter.
The three Hebrews were bound in
their clothing, and some of the
strongest men Of the kings guard were
commanded to throw them into the
| furnace. AS the bound men we're
thrown in, the flames came forth and
enveloped those who had thrown them
in, and destroyed them. The king al
ready had had some evidence of the
power of Jehovah God, and he watch
ed intently the furnace. AS the king
looked toward the furnace. TO his
utter astonishment he beheld four
persons walking in the midst of the
fire, unharmed He said to his counS
selors. I'VE cast three men into the
furnace. but, behold, / now see four,
free, walking in the fire, and the
fourth has an appearance like son of
the gods.'
What had he done? What should he
now do? He called to the three, "Ye
servants Of the Most High God, come
forth and come hither!" They came.
unharmed, with not even the smell of
scorching upon their clothing. Nebu-
chadnezzar acknowledged the miracle
and praised the God who had thus by
His angel Of power delivered His SER
wants that trusted In Him, and who
had defied the kings mandates and
: yielded their bodies that they might
not serve nor worshop any god ex-
cept their own God Truly, blessed
are all they that put their trust in
Him."
