Sunday School Lesson
Book Of Daniel A Philosophic Guide To The
Satisfaction Of Temperance
TEXT: Daniel 1876. 10. 20

written in times OF dire persecu-
ton to encourage the servants OF
God to stand firm in their faith.
The moral and spiritual realities
of the Book, the strength and
nobility of the great character,
Daniel, that it portrays, are not
bound up with controversial opin-
ions; and it is these realities with
which we are concerned.
Surely it is an impressive fact
that in all the records of Scrip
ture when an Individual or group
Of men had great task to per-
form or some special obligation
resting upon them. they are always
represented as beng under disci-
pline, and in most instances alb
stinnene from strong drink was an
essetial part OF the discipline.
We are challenged with the ques-
ton whether the Bible ic good
guide or not. The effect of a great
deal that is written and said today
is to challenge it's authority and
its realism in what it has to say
about temperance and simple,
wholesome living. But the
real question concerning this and
a great deal more in the life of
our. times is whether Daniel offers
really noble and desirable way
Of life and good character. Which
standard are we going to set up
for. youth.
The fact is that for many people
today both young and old, LIQUOR
and much that accompanies it con-
stitutes an escape. and their prac-
teal philosophy of life is an escap-
list philosophy. They are chasing
after things that have no real hap
piness in them. Jesus looked in
pity upon similar people in His
come unto Me, that We might have
day, as He said, eye will not
life"
From practical observation as
well as from sound philosophy of
life I stand for and advocate the
Daniel way. 1t is the way of cou-
rage, and I am sure that it is
that offers the surest, solidest,
most lasting satisfactions.
