their friends that did have a car.
If the train were to come through

me to 60 out of business.
We get twenty live to fifty cents
per passenger to haul them to Lex

a merchant or a doctor but what
would make more profit off the
passenger than I do. In this case,
who is it that's being profited by
my operation at a loss? We have
passengers at all stations that we
service that come to Lexington to

Of Babylon. had made golden i'm

On a certain day. when he was going
to establish his state religion, he
ordered every subject to fall down
and worship this image
But Shadrack. Meshach and Abed-
nego refused to worship the image.
Nebuchadnezzar was furious when
he heard of their refusal He sum-

warned them Of their fate if they
further refused to worship his gods.
They answered him frankly that
they would not bow down to the
image. He ordered them thrown
into the fiery furnace.
They decided that death was more
honorable than apostasy. The men
who cast them into the furnace fell
dead!

for this study. Daniel had been
chosen as the first of three presi.
dents to rule over 100 princes who
should govern the kingdom. The
other two presidents and the princes
could find no fault in this He
brew, save that he believed and OBJ
served the law of his God. So, they
conspired against him by persuad-
ing the king to issue decree that
no person in the kingdom was to
make petition to any God or man
for 80 days, save to the king, on
the penalty Of being cast into the
den of lions. This decree was is
sued by Darius, and Daniels enc
mics reported to Darius that Daniel
was opening his window three times
day, praying to his God. Darius
was greatly troubled, but had to
stand by his decree, and Daniel was
cast into the den of lions. Darius
spent sleepless night, and hurried
to the den at dawn to know about
Daniel. Daniel replied, 20 king, live
for ever. My God hath sent his
angel, and hath shut the lions
mouths, that they have not hurt
me-"
