line by line why France fell, but
his book is a clear flash back on
just about everything that hap
pened politically from the Franco
Prussian war to Vichy. One def

French would rather fight each

As rule when the wise men
and sstrologers appeared by

was not so with Daniel He had
spent a night in the lions den
at the command Of Belshszzar's
father and had gone through
other severe experiences and
wasn't afraid of anybody. He
also knew how rotten was the
political setup in the kingdom

said to the King:

Daniel prefaced the interpre-

history about the kingdom and
reminded Belshazzar that he had
failed in the opportunities to do
well by his people and had con-
tinued to Cypress them.

That was a hard blow to Bel
shazzar but he kept his word
about the reward and COM
manded his servants to put on
Daniel the uniform of the third
ruler in the kingdom and put
gold chain about his neck.
The prophecy was fulfilled
that night. The king was slain
