Daniel and Three Companions.

Daniel and Three Companions.
this eunuch Daniel, and his associates
through him, appealed, requesting that
instead of the fine food and liquors
provided they might have a plain vege-
table diet. Their request was granted.
At the end of the period of their
preparation, the king cOmmuned with
the students land among them all was
found none like Daniel, Hananiah,
Mishael and Azariah: and in
every matter of wisdom and under
standing concerning which the king
inquired of them he found them ten
times better than all the magicians
and enchanters that were in his
realm"
The Secret of Daniels Success
What was the secret of this wisdom
and understanding? Did not the secret
lie in the blessing of God and in the
fact that these young men sought to
devote their lives to the doing of the
Divine will-to the doing of righteous
ness? Such minds anywhere, at any
time, are scarce. Such minds always
bespeak wisdom. On the other hand,
sensuality, selfshness, the grinding of
personal axes, always becloud the
judgment.
What we need today in every walk
of life, is consecrated men of the
stamp of Daniel and his companions
whole hearted men-who will give
their best for the service of their fel-
low men in whatever sphere their lives
may be cast.
Dare to BE a Daniel
Although few of us today can be
Daniels or have his high position and
wonderful opportunity, and though
few are leading spirits as was Daniel,
yet all may have the same spirit of
devotion to the principles of righteous
ness, which devotion will be tested, I'M
der Divine providence, step by step,
through the marrow way" as they
seek to walk in the footsteps of Him
who set us an eXample-Our Daniel.
our Leader, our Lord Jesus. Let all,
then, who have named the named Of
Christ, depart from iniquity. Let all
such be faithful What is really need
ed is the Daniel spirit; and that is
possibility with every man and every
woman-young or old. "Dare to be a
Danfelw Alas! how few appreciate
the privilege. how few are emulating
the Daniel spirit!
Christians, throughout this Age, are
in a position very similar to that of
Daniel. The great King of Glory has
them in the School of Christ. He
wishes to select a few to be joint-heirs
in the Messianic Kingdom when 1t
shall be established. The test of eX-
animation will come in the end of this
Age. Those who will then be found
worthy will be such as have the Dan
lei spirit of devotion to God and to
the principles Of righteousness-wil
ingness to lay down their lives in the
service of the truth-followers in the
footsteps of Jesus OF these the Lord

Striving to stop a flow of vituper-
ative words which were being ad-
dressed at him by James Haley, a
white-haired, white-whiskered, old
man, John Graham, grabbed Haley by
the whiskers and shook him. En-
ragged by the action, the old man
pulled a knife and stabbed Graham
in the arm. He skipped from the
scene of the fight at Seventeenth
street and Fourth avenue, and was
arrested last evening by Officer Pear
son. Because of his age, the charge
against Haley was amended to disor-
derly conduct from assault with a
deadly weapon. Graham preferred
not to carry the charges further. So
Haley was sent to the county Jail
for 80 days.
QUARRELED IN SALOON.
The trouble between the pair be-
gan in a saloon and it is claimed that
Haley tried to "mooch" enough
money for a drink When he was
turned down, he resorted to abuse of
the tongue. Later he abused Graham
on the street and the fight followed.
Haley is a well-known character in
police court and has served many a
sentence in the county Jail. This
morning he is suffering from physical
breakdown as the result of his de-
bauch and the 80 days in Jail will
do him good. Haley fought for the
confederacy, he says. and shows the
marks of battle on his body.
