The natural law, is to become like
the things about us; the higher law
raises us above our surroundings. The
MURAL law would make Daniel like
the Babylonians; the higher law made
him, Daniel. Just as each part of the
body takes from the blood just the
thing it wants, so people may choose
from life, the things they want. Dan
iel took what he wanted, even in
heather Babylon. Dare to be a
Daniel" This great city was in the
form of a square, 10 miles to a side,
40 miles around. Its walls were 100
feet high and 80 feet thick Two
chariots could pass easily. There were
100 gates, % on each side, made of
brass. The Tigris river crossed the
city diagonally from southeast to
northwest. There was a high wall on
either side of the river. Where the
streets crossed the river there We're
draw bridges Nebuchadnezzar had
a palace on either side of the river,
and the distance around the two was
six miles. Tt is thought that explorers
have found the site of the original tow
er of Babel in this enclosure. 1t was
also the location of the Hanging
Gardens of Babylon, rs feet high,
and counted as one OF the Wonders
of the world
Lessons IS and 26 on the Book of
Daniel, are of unusual interest in the
study of prophecy because many peo-
pie believe that we are living in the
closing details of the end of this
prophecy. I wish every member of
the class might be present for both
Lessons. The Art Glass will take up
