a life possible to all.
Mr.. Wicker took his text from
Daniel l.s: But Daniel purposed in
his heart that he would not defile
himself with the portion of the King S

drank"
He sought in his discourse to point

sary for a city to have foul places and
corrupt leaders God wants men OF

are beginning to find that It is better
