Daniel means God is my judge.
We are not only in the study of
the blessed word of God but the lives
Of some of our great men. Does The

In Rev. 3-l2 Il will give you new
name The old King gave Daniel
a different name, but he had the
Lords new name and could not change
Daniel. The Kings wise men were in
bad box their day of execution was
at hand. their wisdom had failed all
right in time of peace, but now it was
all off. The way they looked for
Daniel, was it slow. Say, don't You
see it? When Jesus comes of when
death comes or what is worse than
either, when the judgment is about
to face the fellow out of Christ, world
ly wisdom will be off, then. 1t is
not strange that Daniel could read
the dream. Hear Psa. No. 8 The
meek will he guide in judgement
and the meek will he teach his way.
The devil has so many of the Chris
tians seeking influence. Paul and
Silas didn't have influence to keep
out of Jail but they had the power
to shake the jailer out Of bed. CANA

We can not overthrow it," what were
he and his fellows there for but to
settle the it, Daniel was there to set
tie any if-Daniel was a Holy Spirit
filled man. A mother in New York
received the news that her little boy
had been run over by an express wag-
on. At the police station she found
her little boy surrounded by strangers
the big wagon had passed over his
foot, but he had received no injury.
She said: why, Willie, how could the
big wagon have passed over your
foot and not crushed it" The child
looked up in his mothers face and
said: Mama, | guess God put it in
a hollow place"
Daniel was one of the many prison
ers in a heather land. but it did not
hurt his testimony for his God. Dan
iel was man of prayer. Prayer is
not God coming down but man going
up. Prayer is not getting our will
done, but the rich privilege of being
with the father in active harmony
with his will.
The grace of God will always make
a person peculiar in his dress, in
food, in his whole life.
Miss Benson said: when was a
school girl | became Interested in a
neighbOrs daughter. She father a
farmer, grabbed and sour, her mother
not very kind but cross, no joy in her
life or home. They never attended
church or Sunday school. | told her
of the love of Jesus and I'll always
see the hungry strained look in her
face as it changed to one of softness.
We prayed together, she gave her
self to Jesus and the grace of God.
II began to show and to unfold the
beautiful loving Kindness of God,
said: you had light and love in her
life and home.-J. NJ. Berwick.
