They were what We would today call
''pragmatic philosophers their the
ory worked. For, as runs the account,
''At the end of 10 days their counten-
ances appeared fairer. and they were
fatter in flesh than all the youths that
did eat of the Kings dainties."

roundings, but an independent, self

Daniel was far more than a doer-
without: he was doer His contri-
button to our time is opportune and

his heart. That is. he determined
what was right for himself. regardless
of the prevailing fashions. So he dared
to live his own life. serenely. sweetly.

and vascillating
Such hold steady their times. The
world is in panicky condition to-
day. and sadly tempted to run hither
and thither, sheep fashion. We need
more Daniels, to stand, modestly yet
unswervingly. for what they know
to be the right. Such a man is less
concerned about making character
than he is about doing what is right.
He lives his own life and respects
his neighbors' rights: which is every
bodys first duty to civilization. Ul-
timately the only real reformers are
the persons who are simply righteous
themselves.

reflected credit upon their race and
their faith.
Right on the surface of the Daniel
story lies this great truth, that good
ness should be attractive and not re-
pellant. There are many persons who
honestly believe that to be good means
to be long-faced and to look askance
at the JOY Of life. They think that
piety is the same as pharisaism and
puritanism; and that good times are
not for good people. Their idea OF a
clergyman is a long -jaWed, funeral
creature whose face would scare babies
and drive dogs around the corner with
their tails between their legs.
The joke is on those who hold this
mistaken idea; for the happiest peo-
pie in the world. as well as the healthi-
est; the ones who have the best times
and the most friends, are the sin
cere Christians who. in quietnesS and
confidence, live their lives from real
desire to please God.
Some there doubtless are who take
a morose view of this world; and
who consider that virtue consists Of
the difficult art of foregoing pleasures
