The fact is, as in the case of the Caillaux affair, (hat Clemenceau is playing a bold game "Zn striking at Caillaux He destroys the centre of the radical Socialist opposition.

PORTER 3tella Stella, Editor) closed of G. Historical Character of Daniel Vindi- cated. For the last half century an influ- ential class of critics has been con- stantly and vociferously asserting that the Book of Daniel is not his- torical. With such confidence have | these assertions heen made that at | last thay have been accepted by many who have prepared the Sunday school lessons for the present year, and so are being imposed upon the unlearned public Any ordinary reader, howeyer, who would take pains to examine the arguments of these destructive critics coyd easily see that they are largely fallacious, relying mostly n negative evidence and on a special interpretation of language which readily admits of another interpretation But it was difficult for unlearned readers to give a positive answer tp these argu- ments, and has waitéd too long for an adequate 'reply by a scholar fully equipped for his work The reply has now come in a form that must confound the critics wit have denied the historicity of the Book of Daniel, and has put within the reach of the ordinary reader the facts which serve as an adequate basis for belief in the authenticity of the book. It is found in a work by Professor Robert Dick Wilson, +Ph.D., D.D., professor Hebrew in Princeton Theological Seminary. The book is entitled "Studies in the Book of Daniel: A Discussion of the Historieal Questions." But although this is lan octavo volume of more than 400 pages, it is but the begin- ning of his publication on the sub- ject, land is to be followed by two more volumes of equal size, dealing with phiological matters and with the place of the book in the canon of the Old Testament. The tho- roughness of the discussion may be inferred from the fact that no less than 180 'hooks upon 'the subject are referred to and their contents dis- -- --~-- oe Hair Coming Out?

Burrell, M.D., for a long time head of the Canandaigna insane asylum, in an article in the Americau Journal of Insanity, for April, 1894, pages 493-504 (which Dr. Chapin, late head of the Penn- sylvania Hospital for the Insane, said was the best article on the in- sanity of Nebuchadnezzar of which he knew), says: "Nothing can be truer to nature and the daily mani-| festations bf the insane than the ac- count ofthe recovery of the king; the coming out of chaos, f- | absorption; the return of under- | standing; then a heart overflowing with thankfulness" (page 287). In the concluding sentence of this volume Dr. Wilson 'truthfully de Clares that he has shown that there is no reason for believing that Dan- fel may not have beeh and done al | that the Book of Daniel says that he was and did, without any infringe- ment of the law or prophets, or con travention of the religious ideas of | the Jews at the time of their his-| tory'; and "that 'the confused no tions' about Daniel in his relations to the wise men of Babylon, as well | as about these wise men, are true, | not so much of the author of Daniel | as of those who criticise the book in | reference to them" (p. 389). ! In view of the appearance of iffits book of Dr. Wilson it is well nigh criminal for Biblical crities to im- pose upon Sabbath School teachers by continuing their confident as- sertions that the Book of Daniel is not historical but is a late product of the second century before Christ. Such assertions made in the days of our comparative ignorance may have | been forgiven, but now their is no cloak for their sins. We may add that a condensed and clear state- ment of these facts about the Book of Daniel was given by Dr. Wilson in his article on the subject in the "International Standard Bible Bhcy- clopedia," § or se | HAD STOCKED TRAINS. = Were Blown Up By Their Own Munitions.
