Rev. ]. R. Vannatta, pastor of the

morning subject on Sunday last, "a
Noble Stand for the Right" The text
was found in Daniel, first chapter and
eighth verse, But Daniel purposed in
his heart that he would not defile him
self with the portion of the Kings
meat, nor with the wine which he
drank, therefore he requested of the
Prince of the Eunuchs that he might
not defile himself" He said few of
the old Worthy's furnish us with
more helpful picture than that of
Daniel First, the conditions under
which he took the stand. Second, the
secret of his success. He had pur-
pose and it was of the heart The
outcome of Daniels stand was that
he pillowed his head on the lions
head. His faith in God shows what
God could do for Daniel, and what He
| did for him He has done for all down
through the ages and can do it today.
