They follow in the train of the great and steadfast Christ, who knew how to die, but did not know how to save His life at the expense of His honor. The "stonewall" sort of man, as faithful at praying as at fighting, is the sort upon whom man and God rely. Even the enemies of right know where to find him always. Untroubled By Trouble. .

The king, whe was as"weak as most vain men, was troubled by the plot against Daniel when he perceived it. How + he 'must have cursed his own silly pride and gullibility. He spoke openly to the plotters; but when they rather menacingly intimated that not even the king was above the law, he ouailed, and with the wailings of a weakling surrendered his friend and counsellor, whom he knew to be a a DARES DEATH TO WRITE EPITAPH 1 Tn the din of battle and with bullets and shells burting all about him, this intrepid soldier takes the time to inscribe a brief eulogy of a slain comrade over whese grave a simple cross has been , erected.

SEPTEMBER 20, 1917 true man, standing "foursquare to ev-] ery wind that blows." { Sleepless and worried, the king tossed on his royal couch that night. Vain were the allirements of food and music. He had a coward's conscience. As for Daniel--well, Mr. Moody, with his homely eloquence, used to picture him as drawing to himself the biggest of lions for a pillow, and settling down for the untroubled sleep of a little child. It is not the lions about one that matter, but the wild animals within one's own breast Don't pity Daniel; pity Darius. The Tables Turned. Lions have mostly disappeared from Asia, although one was seen near Jericho only a few years ago; and Shamu told me that he, and a boat- load of passengers, had once seen a magnificent male lion standing boldly on the bank of the Tigris, a short dis- tance below Ctesiphon. As with the Indian princes to-day, a den of lions was an adjunct to the king's court. Into one of these Daniel was thrown, and the door sealed with just such cylindrical seal as one may pick up thereabouts to-day. The result should have been swift and horrible death. There are many angels ready to do the bidding of Jehovah, and one was sent to shut the mouths of the lions. This scéne, Daniel in the lions' den, is a favorite one with the painters; but most of them err in painting the beasts with open mouths. = They were shut, for God's honor was con- cerned in the salvation of his friend Daniel's great allegiagge deserved great support at the Wine hands. "They who trust him wholly find him wholly true." Satan and his legions have never yet been able to circum. vent Jehovah. Early in the morning came hasten- ing the, king. in strained, worried tones inquiring if Daniel's God was able to deliver him. [Little did Da- rius, any more than the world to-day, know how able is God. But Daniel of old, and all the Daniels since, real- ized he might of the Master he served; so, in cheerful tones that con- trasted with those of the king, he an- swered with the conventional saluta- tion. "So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon hin, because he grust- ed in his God." As for his plotting foes, they fell into the pit they had digged, as has been the fashion since the beginnigg of time. They and theirs came to' a swift and dreadful end at the open jaws of .the lions" which had been closed against Dadiel. It never pays to fight against God or God's people; it always pays to be loyal. DR. MORIARTY'S DISCOVERY. Former Baseball Player Devises a New Local Anasthetic. Dr. E.

Dr. Moriarty pitched for Newark for six years and was soM to Detroit, but quit the game to follow the profession of surgery at which he has been emin- ently successful. Dr. Morifarity worked in the Lon- don hospitals for three months as a volunteer Red Cross surgeon during the early-pant of the war when =kill- ed professional men were in greatest demand, and has since then assisted in Canadian soldier hospitals. Dr. Moriarty has devised a new local anesthetie which is being ex- tensively used and is said to abso. lately eliminate pain in most serious operations. He has offered it to thé United States and Canadian Gov ernments for army use and demon- strations are to be given at the lToeal hespitals.
