! ance on the mind of Darius was in
evitabl The subtle plotters reaped the
results of their evil seed sowing. The
bitter anger that stirred the soul of
the king the previous night upon his
discovery Of the crafty plans to secure
Daniefs destruction. had developed dur
ing the long hours of the sleepless
night into remorseful hatred. The
accumulated bitterness of the king was
poured out upon the evil conspirators
and their families. They were sum-
moned from their slumbers to learn
that their schemes had failed and to
receive the punishment which they
had planned against Daniel. The ter
rible punishment, which he had ordered
to be inflicted. was not advised by
the prophet as it was contrary to Gods s
law. The king obeyed the savage i'm
in accordance with the cruel practice
OF his time and training. His decision
confirmed the psalmist's words that
THE wicked is ensnared in the work
of their own hands"
A more significant result was the
public acknowledgment of God by the
king. who ordered an edit to be pub
lished throughout the whole world pro-
claiming that Jehovah was the living
God and the Supreme Ruler of the
universe. rehearsing at the same time
the wonderful act which had inspir-
ed the degree that called upon men to
1ear Him as God. This message was
proclaimed at an hour when the world
powers were reigning in philosophy,
politics and religion so that the nations
were without excuse If they did not
accept Him as their God. The hour
in the worlds history was an epoch
making one. 1t was when Peisistratus
was tyrant at Athens; Servius Tullius
was reigning at Rome: the Carthagin
ans were in great power: the commerce
OF Tyre and Sidon still f1ourishipg.
Pythagoras was on his travels gather
ing material for his remarkable sys-
tenn of philosophy: the disciples of
Buddha were spreading their masters
doctrines in India. and Confucius was
teaching in China"
The annals of missionary work, the
story of the church of Christ through
out the centuries, as well as the records
Of every day life and the chronicles of
war. prove that God gives His angels
charge over His people to keep and
protect them. In the hour of suffering,
sorrow and struggle the loyal follow
ers of the Lord Jesus can rejoice be-
cause they know that all things work
together for good to them that love
God" and that whatever happens they
are safe under His protecting care.
Safety first" has its value along the
congested highways Of the city and at
the dangerous crossings of railroads, J
but in the moral spheres as well as fire.

The first world series between the
National League and the American
League was held in 1903. between the
Red SoN and the Pirates. The first hero
was Bill Dinaen. now an umpire in tine

three games for the Red SoX. and was
individually responsible for the defeat
Of the PITTSBURGH crew.

In 1915 Duffy Lewis of the Red Sox
gave the greatest exhibition of all

fielding and batting were phenomenal.
Duffy hit .44i for the five games against
the Phillies. Hooper hit $50, including
two homers.
Last year Gardner and Scott of the
Red Sox received most of the applause,
although Duffy Lewis and Janvrin
