told that Germany had been chosen as

PASTOR WARNS YOUNG
MEN OF MANY PITFALLS
, Points to Daniel As Illustration Of
How Temptations May Be
Overcome.

Struggle Requires Heroism- But 10
VIII Be Crowned With Immor~
tality Says DIR. r. T. McFadcn, at
Grace Church.

Appealing strongly to the young
man entering upon his battle and
struggle with the temptations which
surround him upon his career toward
a place in this world. Rev. r. T. Nc
Faden. D. D.. last night said. at the
First Presbyterian Church. that the
present time calls for men who in the
midst of life's duties. trials and temp
tations, and evils, will be true to the
right; men who will set themselves
not to be defiled.
DR.. McFaden took as his text Daniel
I. s: But Daniel purposed in his heart
that he would not defle himself with
the portion of the kings meat. nor
with the wine which he drank"
He showed that Daniel came un-
scathed through all the temptations
which presented themselves to him. and
became one of the men of God. al
though he might have become a power
in earthly affairs had he succumbed
to worldly iusts as the temptations
confronted him.
world Loves q Hero.
The world loves hero" said Or.
McFaden. moral heroism Ia of the
noblest. The Old and New Testament
are full OF moral heroes. Daniel APP
peals to us as one of the most striking.
He was triumphantly heroic and that
heroism has made him immortal. It
may be helpful to us to learn what
were the elements Of that heroism.
The very root and essence OF 1t were
his holy resolve, his holy purpose not
to do certain things that were wrong
Those early monarchs had q re-
markable way of effacing the ties that
bound a captive to his land. They
would import great numbers into their
own land and export great numbers
of their own people to live in the land
Of the captured ones.
Daniel. a young man, thus was car
.ried to Babylon. He was to be trained
for official service. He was a great
honor to be thus selected as the kings
servant In addition. from a worldly
and material standpoint. he would
have the best the kings table AFFORDED.
Had Considerations Scrupies.
But Daniel had some conscientious
scruples about that sort of diet II
was selected without reference to the
Mosaic law or code concerning clean
and unciean 1t was food In one way
or another consecrated to idols For
Daniel to eat this food would mean
to him to sanction idolatry So he
determined. purposed In his heart. as
we say. he made up his mind. not to
do what was wrong. II any young
man ever had reason OF excuse to do
otherwise. that man was Daniel.
But he purposed he would not Out
of that, noble, holy purpose. sprang his
triumphant life. That experience and
deiiverance strengthened him for his
later trials.

ing for an exhibit and demonstration
