J Creation opens with beautiful picture:
illustrative of Daniel and his times
He IS seen as a young man, explain
ing TO Nebuchadnezzar the impressive
dream which the king had for
gotten. The dream under the figure
Of a man represented the civil oil
Gentle governments OF the world
from Nebuchadnezzar day TO the
end Of this present age, when Mes
siah's kingdom will be set up. The
dream itself is shown, the image. the
stone. and also Daniels dream, which
cores sponded, but which represented
the different earthly governments as
beasts.
The Interpretation of the kings
dream was very impressive. Nebuchad
nezzar's government was represented
in the head of the image; the Medo-
Persian government of Cyrus and
Darius were represented in the breast
and arms of silver The Grecian en-
peror, Alexander the Great, and his
four succeeding generals, were rep
resented in the belly and thighs OF
brass. The legs of iron pictured the
strong Roman empire of the Caesars,
and the feet OF iron and clay mixed
represented what is styled the Holy
Roman empire, in which ecclesias.

with an invisible power, it smote the
feet of the image, and the entire sys-

greater until it fells the earth. The
dream is symbolical OF how the king

place of all present governments and
reign over the world. 1t will bring
about a reconstruction, a new order
of things, based upon righteousness
and truth, and backed by Divine
power.
The Fiery Furnace.
Other beautiful pictures show the
fiery furnace, into which the three

the lecturer Daniels experiences in
the lions den are represented in pic
lures so beautiful and so true TO
nature that they seem almost reali-
ties-the lions gazing upon the pro-
phet and sinking away before his
gaze because the angel of the Lord
is with him for his protection.
This reminded the writer of a pic
ture gotten up by an unknown artist
entitled Daniel in the Critics Den"
1t was intended to be a parody on the
higher critics and their desire to do
away with the book of Daniel, and its
strikingly stated prophecies, well
backed up by the references to Jesus
to them and their items of interest.
In this picture Daniel is shown with
a scroll in his hand-his book, his
prophecy. Around him, crouching like
lions. are the be-spectacled professors
of the colleges, higher critics, looking
as though they would like to devour
the prophet and have him and his
book out of the way. Mentioning the
matter 10 the manager of the drama,
he remarked that that very picture
will appear in the fourth part of the
drama, and more artistically. We will
be glad to see it in due time.
Meantime, all should know that
part III of the Drama of Creation is
as wonderful as the other parts, and
that no one can afford TO miss the
and the instruction
which it gives. Part III will be pre-
,ented today and tomorrow, afternoon
and evening respectively. and p.
