This was actually the beginning Of the
revelation of the coming downfall of the
kingdom, and although some years elapsed
before the actual writing on the wall ap-

coincidence that in 500 1918 years Jeru-
salem is released from the power of its
age-long oppressor, and the doom OF autoc-
racy is sealed. if not actually and com

The Book Of Daniel has been studied
and puzzled over more than any other

Bible text when reduced TO gerahs would

Of Daniel We have the very complete story
OF the feast OF Belshazzar. when a thou
sand OF his lords drank wine with the
king and had the holy vessels which had
been brought from Jerusalem carried in
that he and his princes, his wives and
his concubines might drink therein" In
exactly the same way the Kaiser and the
Crown Prince and all their military lead
ers were lately feasting, both in Berlin and

R-THEN King Belshazzar sat upon his
M throne in Babylon and with terror
w and awe watched spectral fingers
write in letters OF fire upon his palace wall,
the ProDhet Daniel interpreted these let
tiers as predicting the fall Of the monarch
and his empire.
While the fall Of Belshazzar and OF
Babylon did follow. thus justifying the
Prophets reading. there sprang mp some
time thereafter. and certainly many cen
turtles ago. vague. fOrmless tradition
arising no one knew where. that the
prophecy had not been entirely fulfilled by
the destruction referred TO.
In our own age. and especially IN our
own country. there have been many Bibli-
cal scholars who expressed uncertainty as
70 whether the letters OF fire might not
have contained a double meaning. a hidden
significance stretching far into the future,
not to be understood by devoted analysts
Handicapped by not being prophets
emselves-because the events predicted
had 20 come 20 pass, at least partly, before
this hidden meaning could be interpreted
In the light OF the late world war and
the effort OF the Kaiser and Prussiandom
20 establish an autOcracy greater than
Belshazzar dreamed, leaders in Biblical re-
search and exegesis think they have dis
covered the broader meaning OF the hand
