A Startling Narrative.

What followed is best told in the words
of the Bible narrative from which our
Sunday school lesson is drawn today:
Then Daniel answered and said before
the king. let thy gifts be to myself. and
give thy rewards to another: neverthe-
less. / will read the writing unto the
king. and make known to him the in
depreciation.
20 thou king. the most high God gave
Nebuchadnezzar. thy father, the kingdom.
and greatness. and glory, and majesty;
and. because of the greatness that he
gave him, all the peoples, nations and
languages trembled and feared before
he would he kept alive, and whom he
would he raised up. and whom he would
he put down.
But when his heart was lifted up. ana
his spirit was hardened that he dealt
proudly. he was deposed from his kingly
throne. and they took his glory from
him. and he was driven from the Sons
OF men, and his heart was made like the
beasts. and his dwelling was with the
wild asses: he was fed with grass like
oxen. and his body was wet with the dew
Of heaven until he knew that the most
high God ruleth in the kingdom OF men.
eyed He will.
And thou his son, o Belshazzar. hast
not humbled thine heart, though thou
knewest all this. but hast lifted up thy
self against the Lord Of heaven: and
they have brought the vessels OF HIS
house before thee. and thou and thy
lords, thy wives and thy concubtnes have
drunk wine in them, and thou hast
praised the gods OF silver and gold, OF

Critics COMPOUNDED.

Critics of the Bible once took this story
as text and tried to show from IL that
the Bible is untrustworthy. They de-
clared that Babylonian records said moth
ing Of BelshazZar, and that II seems
strange that Daniel should be made third
In the kingdom a reward for inter-
oreting the dream. Why not second?
But tablets discovered by those who dug
in the remains of ancient Babylonia told
that Nabonidus was king. while BeIshaz-
Ear as his son. ruled with him, thus be-
ing the second in the kingdom. OF course.
then. Daniel could not be promoted to
the second place. Further discoveries
have settled other difficulties Christians
do not need to be disturbed by attacks
on Gods word God will protect it, Times
almost without number silent witnesses
to the reliability of His word have been
brought to light after they had been
kept for ages in the darkness where God
hid them.

water, stir vigorously and re-

mixture, then remove the excess
moisture by partially drying the
saturated design or by applying
a sheet of blotting paper. Place
the material or fabric to which
the design is to be transferred on
a hard, fat surface, and lay the
design face down upon the mate

thick paper or two TO, Of news
paper, and with the bowl Of

until the design is entirely trans

When rubbing you can see
if enough pressure Is being ap
